Oklahoma City Man Strongly Ar-

FEARLESS EXPRESSION OF VIEWS
"Enough States Educational Institu-
tions,w Asserts the Editor-
Politician.
Hon. John T. Fields of Oklahoma
City, e.litor of the Oklahoma Form
Journal and candidate for the repub-
lican nomination tor governor, ad-
dressed a large crowd at the corner
of Main and Bell streets, Friday eve-
ning, upon the issues of the present
campaign.
In no- uncertain terms Mr. Fields
attacked the present administration,
using strong arguments and produc-
ing figures and statistics to prove his
statements. His remarks were heard
with the closest attention throughout,
fhe crowd grovir.g eorstantly greater
until there were perhaps 6^0 people
within the sound of his voice before
he concluded.
One striking feature of Mr. Fields'
address was his open statement that
he believed that Oklahoma has at
present enough state schools. He
said that because of this statement he
had been told that he was no politi-
cian. But, ho aveired, he believed
that 20 schools, which are patronized
less than 2 per cent of the school
population, are enough at th° present
time, and that, new s hook? should not
be located to give Jobs and pay polit-
ical debts. He believed, however, that
more and better rural schools are
needed.
A candidate for governor should be
judged, said Mr. Fields, not by his
promises, but by his past conduct.
For instance, he observed, Haskell
before his election had a record as a
railroad promoter, a dealer in high
finance. He promised to represent
the interests of the people if elected
governor, but his history as governor
is strikingly similar to his history as
a promoter.
Referring to the constitution. Mr
Fields said that every true Okiahoman
should respect the constitution as the
organic law of the state, but showed
where the democratic admiinstration
had time and again broken the con-
stitution which the democrats them-
selves made.
Under the territorial election law,
said Mr. Frields, even with the elec-
tion machinery i.i tLc hands of the
republican?, the democrats were able
to elect practically every member of
the constitutional convention That
wa only three short years ago. Why,
then, he asked, are the democrats so
fearful of losing power that they had
two sessions of the legislature to
enact electon laws that ^ere abso-
lutely unfair, with the view to mak
ing it impossible for the republicans
to get their ffflces. even it elected?
There must be some potent reason,
thought Mr. Fields, tor the democrats
being so fearful of losing the state,
when only three short years ago,
without any advantage in the election
law, they swept everything. The
election law will not disfranchise the
negroes and the Indians, said Mr.
Fields, as much as it will be the 30,-
000 democrats of the state who have
decided to cut loose from the Haskell
machine and try a republican admin-

Palestine, Tex., July 30.—One of
the worst race riots that ever has
occurred in the history of this sec-
tion or the state has broken out a
short ditsance from the town.
It is reported that twenty negroes
and four whites have been killed so
tar in the riot.
Pitched battles are being fought
between the races and many more
deaths are expected.
The trouble started when some ne-
groes attempted to rescue a negro
who had been arrested for debt and
the white people attempted to lynch
one of them and in a short time
both races were armed and the whites
attempted an extermination.
The negroes barricaded their hou-
ses a nwhdnheteRee f2cmfwyppp

they were lynched.
One was burned at the stake.
It is reported that the authorities
(Continued on Page Five.)
It was not a very enthusiastic nor
a very large assembly that greeted
the Rev. E. D. Cameron last evening
in front of the Norwood Hotel and as
soon as the mud-slinging cume iuto
effect they gradually left to attend
the Fields meeting at another corner.
Mr. Cameron after being introduc-
ed by Charles F. Barrett, Immediately
proceeded into the history of his life
and informed the assembly that if the
world had not been fa\ored with his
timely arrival the public school sys-
tem would never have come into ex-
itence. He went into details as to
the history of the Baptist University,
that "1 was so instrumental in bring-
in to Shawnee," and also to the fact
he has a claim on the city for that.
We once did have one of the best
systems of public schools in the coun-
try but as soon as politicians began
using it as a means of furthering
their own personal interests it began
to fall to a very low standard.
The public school history of the
world was given, dating it back as
far as Martin Luther and proceeding
down to' the present time when the
fact was mentioned that: %
' I AM THE JOHN THE BAPTIST
of the Oklahoma schools;' that mere
statement showed the egotistic spirit
that was so dominant throughout the
meeting We have a very large school
fund endowment in this state and if It
were properly conducted we would
not have to draw on the public in
taxes for its maintainance. The fact
was mentioned that the statements
made last evening by the Hon. Joe
McNeai were erroneous, as they were
probably given without foundation
In one breath he said: "Cod bless
him,' and in the next that lie was a
juggler of figures. He rambled thro'
a comparison of the school system of
the territorial times ar.d the present
and gave a mi.ze of figures to prove
that he had managed it better than
any other system in the world.
Mr. Comeron said, "that the Hon.
Joe McNeai wts the keynote of hon-
esty and that he has known him for
a good many years." This glowing
tribute to the republican candidate
was appreciated by all. The Rev.
Mr Cameron then went into some de-
tails as to the colored schools in the
state and that he was tho only one
that vas instiu mental in their for-
mation.
He said, "I snail not desceud to
the plane of the mudslinger or the
demagogue and the man that does is
not worthy of any office at the hands
of the people)' And then the mud-
slinging commenced.
The characteristic point of the
meeting was that of making state-
ments and then showing how others
had made similar ones that were not
true end that his were the only
true ones that have been uttered.
We have absolutely no means of de-
termining the truth as regards the
public school fund, as each candidate
seems to have an entirely different
