WAS GUARANTY FUND ILLEGAL-
LY USED?
less personage than Mr. E. B. Cock
rell of El Reno, who was recently
named state bank commissioner by
Governor Haskell to succeed A. M.
Young of Muskogee, resigned.
Mr. Cockrell attended the recent
session in McAlester of the Oklahoma
Bankers' Association, aud during the
address before that body he eulogized
the guaranty law profusely, but while
doing so he accidentally let the peo-
ple in on a secret that heretofore has
been denied to them, Hif statement
will be interesting reading, too, to
those state bankers who have been
chipping in to creat a guaranty fund,
for it reveals to them one method of
handling the guaranty fund.
During his address, Mr. Cockrell al-
luded to how a case had been han-
dled at a twon recenty (evidently Du-
rant) where a bank wih $200,000 de-
posits had become unsatisfactory to
the commissioner. A new bank was
formed, which took over the deposits
and good assets. The new bank was
given $25,000 from the guaranty fund
to protect it from losses. The new
commissioner said that he thought
every cent of this would be returned
to the guaranty fund, although an as-
sessment on the stockholders of the
defunct bank might be necessary.
Now, if Mr. Cockrell had only re-
cited that section of the law that per-
mits the bank commissioner or the
banking board to misappropriate the
guaranty fund, as was done in the
Durant case, and as understood was
done in several other instances, or if
he had only revealed the legal au-
thority of such action it would sure
have been a revelation to the people
■who have been denied the banking
board's secrets during the time that
the law has been in effect.
Perhaps, however, Mr. Cockrell in-
tends letting the people into the facts
grtidually, and perhaps, too, someday
he will reveal the iuside rottenness of
the Columbia failure at Oklahoma
City.

"The republican county central
committee of each county Is called

pose of recommending temporary of-

arranging details therefor."
PRECINCT AND COUNTY CONVEN-
TIONS.
lu connection with the call for a
state convention to be held June 16,
Chairman Jas. Harris has sent out
the following call for precinct con-
ventions, June 11, and county con-
ventions, June 13:
"When not otherwise provided by
local organizations precinct meetings
are hereby called to convene at the
usual voting places oil June 11,1910,
at one o'clock p. m., to elect dele-
gates to represent said precinct in
said county convention and to select
a member of the county central com-
mittee, and for the purpose of organ-
izing a republican precinct club and
electing officers thereof, where such
club has not heretofore been organiz-
ed.
"Each said precinct meeting, pre-
cinct republican rlub and delegates
are urged to see that competent men
announce and file their applications,
for all local and county offices before
July 2, 1910, In order that their names
may be placed on the primary ballot
of August 2, 1910. The precinct com-
mitteeman for each precinct is re-
quested to be present at the polling
AN OPEN LETTER.
) the People of Pottawatomie and
Lincoln Counties, State of Oklaho-
ma :
1 addi-Mds myself primarily to the
voters of tho 13th Senatorial district
of Oklahoma, composed of Pottawato-
mie and Lincoln Counties. Whenever,
in the course of eventful times, a
man seeks a position of trust, honor
or profit, whether from a sense of
duty, to satisfy ambition, aspiration,
or to get gain, he should, in any
event, maKe known his reasons for,
and the : rinciples upon which he
seeks, such position. He should also
give what he believes to be the
claims, if any there are, upon which
he relies i'o rsuccess in his asking.
With the above declarations, 1 now
announce myself as a republican can-
didate for the nomination to the of-
fi e of sta*e senator for the 13th sen-
atorial district of Oklahoma—nomina-
tion to be made in a general primary
election to be held August 2, 1910.
In anuoun ing myself as a candi-
date for ;i seat in the upper house
of the state's legislature from *he
13th senatorial district, I do so with
a high appreciation of the honor to
bestowed mid with a deep-felt sense
of the responsibilities thereto attach-
ed. I do not look at it from a mere
standpoint of so nany da>s and so
many dllars per diem—but I believe
that a man should seek the office (if
the office has not sought and found
him) from a high sense of duty and
to satisfy an honest aspiration.
Therefore, my reasons for asking
the suffrage of my fellow Pottawato
mie ond Lincoln countians, are many
—chief among vhi'-h are: I hav? liv-
ed for many years in the west
southwest, i have witnessed the
growth and development of much ot
the states of Missouri, Kansas, Ar-
kansas, Texas and now last, but not
least by any means, Oklahoma. I
have seen where legislation retarded
and where legislation aided in the
building of great commonwealths—
his God—the God of his creation, the
od of his preservation and the God
of his ultimate salvation, if he Is
ever saved—then to hsi family, his
community, county, state and govern-
ment, and last, but not least, to the
world,that it may be better and wiser,
and therefore happier by reason of
his having lived in it.
I have from the very earliest of my
mature thoughts been impressed with
the idea that no man lives to or for
himself, but that every man has his
following. Therefore, we should take
the more heed with our ways, lest
others essaying to follow after stum-
ble and fall, and we be the cause of
their falling and consequent destruc-
tion.
With these thoughts and ideas in
view, I have always stood for good
and wholesome laws and a strict and
just enforcement of the same—justice
being tempered with mercy, i am
strictly in favor of virtue, truth and
morality in all things and for prohi-
bition -of all that is vicious or immo-
ral. I am for moderate punishment
for crime of any kind, and for just
and speedy punishment for heinous
ones; but I am forever and unaltera-
bly opposed to capital punishment, i.
p., murder, legally or otherwise. I
choose, rather, to punish for life at
hard labor, with executive clemency
removed and the pardoning power
lodged with the same power that
convicted. I favor a full and free
one ballot, or vote, for every man,
who is of lawful age and otherwise
qualified, and that ballot or vote be-
ing counted and .fairly placed to the
credit of the candidate or measure
for which it was intended to be cast.
I favor just and equal rates of as-
sessment and taxation—taxing every
man for what he really has and not
for what he may be able to get. I
believe in thes asme law and the same
application of that law, to all men
alike. I believe in the laborer re-
ceiving in money or its equivalent,
his hire, and in his having the right
to work, or not to work, as best suits
his mind or circumstances, except he
be under contract at a stipulated
price, for a set time, and then 1 be-
lieve in his complying with the terms
of that contra t. 1 believe in public
and internal improvements, in public,
by building, preserving and beautify-
ing our public buildings and grounds;
in internal, by immediately con-
structing, by convict labor, contract
otherwise, good and substantial
thoroughfares, from the remotest
parts of our counties and state to
the principal clities; and market
towns of the state.
I believe in a just and equitable
system of railroad, Jnterurban and
street car line control, to the end
that capital may with certainty of
protection, invest in these great en-
terprises, without whi h it is impos-
sible to build a modern state o rna-
tion. 1 believe in the best man for j
the office, and the people to be the
judge as to whether he shall serv
a different meaning, thus "G"- (o)
"O" (n) "P")rinciples and thus moun-
ted and labeled, get me out into the
highways and among the blackjacks
and see if the office hunting the man
would not run up against me. If it
does and 1 am nominated at the
coming primary election in August for
the state senate from the 13th sena-
torial district, I will as a republican
uphold and defend the principles of
republicanism to the bst of my abili
ty, and if elected at the coming elec
tion in November. 1 will aid by coun
sel and vote, in the passage of such
measures as will bring the most
speedy relief possible, from some of
the evils which now effect and men-
ace our immediate future and for fear
that the office hunting the man does
not get around in time, I now an-
nounce myself as a candidate forth'
office of state senator for the 13th
senatorial district, subject to the
votes of all, irrespective of parties,
who can support me as a republican,
in the coming primary.
Trusting that I may meet and con-
verse with a'1 of you before the pri-
mary, I subscribe myself, yours for
the office, and then to do my duty
as a servant of the whole people, ir-
respective of party, creed or condi-
tions. W. S. BAKER,

as to astound, attract and command
the attention, admiration and respecct

came full fledged, and have been a
