PROHIBITIONISTS OK OKLAHOMA

FEABLKSSL YATTACKS ATTEMl'l-
EH AMENDMENT KNOWN AS
•OHA>EATHEIt" CLAUSE.
A great mnss convention of prolii
bitloiilsts. irrespective of previous par
tisan afflliatlona. has been called to
meet at Enid, Garfield County, Tues-
day and Wednesday. June 14 and 1>.
to organize the prohibition party and
launch an aggressive campaign for
State and Congressional candidates
Orent preparations are being made
for an Inspiring occasion, and every
one Interested in maintaining the
state prohibitory law, and changing
the present nullification policy Into
one of successful statewide enforce
raeut, are most heartily invited.
The future of Oklahoma's prohibi-
tion law Is today endangered by pow-
erful liquor Interests outside the
state, who are crystallising an alii
ance with liquor salesmen, boot-leg
gers and frinedly politicians within
our borders.
The proposed petition for a refer
endum on the prohibition question is
being made the entering wedge of li-
cense and liquor anarchy. Every
patriotic citizen of Okahomu should
oppose this attempt to nullify and
break down our magnificent prohibi-
tory statute.
It is a critical hour for the honor
of Oklahoma and the welfare of her
people. The convention at Enid
should be so large as to register a
mighty protest against this political
treachery You will be welcome. It
will b etbe most democratic political
gathering ever held in this state
Its prupose Is to preserve the law
which the people adopted, and pro-
tect the homes and business of Ok-
lahoma froui the dangers of legalized
rice and debauchery.
Practical methods of organizing the
party work in every precinct and
township of the state will be pre
seated and thoroughly discussed.
Two features of the convention
will be the presence ot National
Chairman Charles R. Jones of Chlca
go. and of that nationally known vet
,.ran leader In the prohiblton cause
Governor John P. St. John of Kan-
sas and prohibition candidate for
presdlent of the United States in
1884. Governor St. John, despite his
seventy-seven years, is still robust In
health, and in full possession of his
brilliant oratorical ability, which has
made him a power in the great re-
form now for more than 30 years.
Governor St. John la still on the
firing line ot the prohibition cause,
and during the past few months has
received some splendid testimony as
to the affection in which he is held
by the people of the state. Regarding
one of the rectu St. John rallies held
in Kansas recently, the EvennlgFre''
Press of Wlnfleld thus graphically
writes:
In his speeches throughout the
state. Joseph V\\ McNeal, candidate
for the republican nomination lot
governor, has fearleBSly and convinc-
ingly expressed his condenmnatlon of
the attempt of the Haskell machine
to disfranchise citizens of Oklahoma
through the Taylor "grandfather"
amendment to the state constitution.
Joe" McNeal Is against the dis-
franchisement of any honest, law-
abiding citizen. Thomas Jefferson
jtaom the democrats revere as prob-
ably their greatest and most illus-
trious leader, was himself a man of
Just such opinions as are held by Mc
Neal. McNeal quotes from Jefferson
as saying. "Under a republican form
of government, there must be a one
timo when every man, whether great
or small, rich or poor, wise or lgno
-ant, shall be the exact equal of
every other man In the land, and that
Is on election day." "You cant af-
ford to upset this doctrine if you are
going to have a republican form of
government," says McNeal in all his
speeches. "I want this to be a gov
ernment of the people, and want eve-
ry man to feel that he Is a part of
the government of this nation, and
that a part of this government Is his
The hope of posterity is that men
shall advance and grow better; that
they shall be lifted up and enllght
eued, instead of being crushed and
driven into darkness and bondage
No Just man, no wise man, may say
that civilization can turn backward
without disaster to society and to
every hope that has been built upon
the moral and intellectual progress of
men. Oklahoma has fallen like a
Hash of gold ringing from the mint
new age, and it is my prayer
tha tin this new state it may never
be said that the shackels of poltlcal
slavery shall be fastened upon any
man."
Are you too busy with your crops
to take a day or two off to help
bring about conditions that will save
you dollars when you go to pay your
taxes next year?
Are you like the fellow who
grumbles that he Is too busy now to
take a day or two off to organize a
club In his precinct, get up an Inter-
est and get out a full republican vote;
who thinks it win be al right any-
way. and then kicks himself all way
home from the county seat when he
has paid his taxes, for not taking the
time to help avoid such outrageous
taxes?
"Do you think that it will make no
difference whether a republican or
democrat is elected? Well, brother,
you have been living and paying
taxes under democratic rule ofr
couple of years, and you see what
your taxes are now, so get busy, vote
the republican ticket and influence
your neighbors to do so. and you will
see that it makes a difference and a
big difference, too.
Take our advice and try It, and
we are "ure you will come in and
pat us on the back, take us out and
buy the cigars, buy the children some
new shoes and the 'old woman' a
calico dress with the money that you
can save on your taxes. Try it once ;
It can't, be worse than It Is.
From all over the county comes
the news of the compact organization
of republican clubs. The republicans
of the state are taking effective steps
to secure a rousing republican vic-
tory all over the state this fall."
A magnificent audience greeted ex- o.
Governor John P. St. John at the
First Methodist Church yesterday af-
ternoon. It was partly a tribute to
that grand old warrior for temper-
ance and partly au indication of the
overwhelming sentiment In this com-
munity for the total suppression of
the liquor traffic. Rev. L. E. Sluies
presided and introduced the ex-gov-
ernor.
"John P. St. John was the leader
of the fight for the adoption of the
constitutional amendment fro prohl
bition, and It carried. The State of
Kausas owes him a debt ot gratitude
for putting this state almost a half
century 1 nadvance of most fo the
states of this country In controlling
the liquor traffic.
"It was a great speech, and when
it Is remembered that Mr. St. John
Is seventy-seven years old, his speech
is all the more remarkable. He Is
still erect, his voice Is good and he
Is apparently in as good health as he
was twenty-five years ago."
The convention will be called to
order at ten o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, June 14. Governor St. John, in
addition to his address before the
convention, will be the speaker at
public mass meeting to be heldTues
day evening. All who can attend or
desire further particulars are
quested to wire or write George
Rouch, Btate chairman. Durant, Okla

Shawnee is not as old as other
cities In Oklahoma, by six years, yet
the development has been most un-
precedented. From a log cabin In a
wilderness of sturdy oak and hickory
trees on July 4. 1895, to a splendid
young commercial giant on July 4,
1909, is a record for substantial prog-
ress never before equaled. From «
brush pile to the metropolis of a
great section of the Southwest in
fourteen years, and never having had
a boom In the ordinary sense of the
word, but a vigorous, healthy and
continuous growth, is a record only
made possible by the great natural
tory.
There Is every prospect at the
present time that Shawnee will be-
come the cotton manufacturing cen-
ter of the Southwest. Two cotton
mills are already asking for admis-
sion, and It Is knows that at least
one more can be secured within the
next few months.
The advantage of a cotton mill or
several cotton mills in a city of
Shawnee's size can not be overesti-
mated. In every populous city there

salvation.
