Watonga, Okla., Auk. 23.—The fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
passed at the meeting of the Protec-
tive League here yesterday:
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the Colored Protective League of
Blaine county:
1st. That we denounce as untrue
the report that is made by the paper
known as "The Square Leal,'’ ti. F.
Roglnson, editor, where It says thal
the Colored Protective League of
Hlaine county met in, mass convention
Saturday, August 10, and passed reso-
lutions denouncing the republicans
for ignoring 'the colored voters at
Tulsa, the same being untrue, as the
action of the Tulsa convention was
endorsed by the league at their meet-
ing August 10. We denounce as ut-
terly untrue the statement that will
he found In "The Square Deal" that
the ticket was nominated in mass
meeting of the Hlaine County Color-
ed Protective League a malicious, wil-
ful lie for the purpose of misleading
tne colored voters outside of Hlaine
county into the belief that the colored
voters of Hlaine county have bolted
the regular ticket and will support
the independent ticket that was made
out by democrats and renegade ne-
groes at some place best known to
them, but not in the convention,
w here it was voted down.
2. Be it further resolved, that the
Colored Protective League of Blaine
county and the colored voters ot
Blaine county wish by 'these resolu-
tions to place themselves on record
as unalterable opposed to the so-call-
ed Independent republican ticket that
Is being placed in the field by demo-
cratic money for the sole purpose of
defeating the republican nominee for
congress in the Second district.
3d. That these men would betray
the colored people of Hlaine county
and the Second congressional district
into the folly of voting for the ticket
they have succeeded In getting out by
the assistance of the democratic lead-
era and by bo doing elect a demo-
crat to congress.
And be it further resolved, that we,
the Colored Protective League of
Blaine county, do appeal to every col-
ored voter in the Second congression-
al district to come out early ho the
polls on the morning of September 17
end cast hi* vote for the Hon. T. B.
Ferguson and thus rebuke the trai-
tera In our race who would sell a
whole race for a less price than Ju-
daa received for the betrayal of bis
Lord and Master.

THE CARPET-BAGGER.
At the American has frequently
asserted, the whole population of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory are
carpet-baggers.
That is, we all came here with
mighty lit'tle else than a carpet tag
and we have all hustled to improve
Oklahoma and our own fortunes.
Somebody had to hold office and
H the office was honestly conducted
the officeholder Is entitled to just
as much credit in building up Okla-
homa as any other man.
There is an idea abroad, however,
that because a man came here to
conduct the duties of a public office
that he is a peculiar brand of carpet-
bagger and unworthy public respect
or confidence, that being the thought
of some, let us analyze and cogitate
awhile.
Frank Frantz made the run into
Oklahoma, got a claim, Improved it
and "has grown up with the coun-
try," as the lamented Greeley ad-
vised the boys.
True, he went Into the Spanish
American war and won a captain’H
commission, then came home and
bustled for a living until Roosevelt
made him governor, and he has hus-
tled ever since, performing the du-
ties of that office faithfully.
It Is an honorable record all the
way through—one that all Oklaho-
mans are proud to recognize, and
the people admire and honor such a j
carput-bagger, thut apptgaijkm ap-
plied to Frank Frantz, or any other
man of like good offices .carries
with it no odium, but, on the con-
trary, is a badge of honor.
ilow about Haskell? He came
to Indian Territory five years ago,
after the hardships of pioneer life
were over. He came as a political
adventurer and had been In .Musko-
gee but a couple of years when we
find him at the head of a political
movement of the great corporations
of Indian Territory In an effort to
prevent statehood that no state laws
might interfere with the great graft
that Haskell and others were getting
out of railway building and townslte
grafting.
Anyone can make assertions but
facts tell the story. It does not re-
quire a scholar to divine who is the
carpet-bagger candidate for govern-
or and who is the man who started
at the grass roots with Hie common
peple.
Frank Frantz brought honor and
renown to Oklahoma in the war with
Spain, and us a reward for such ser-
vices lias been steadily promoted by
the president of the L tilted states.
He has ever been modest and unas-
suming in his success and still re-
turns the confidence and esteem of
the people among whom he has lived
since coming to Oklahoma.
What has C. N. Haskell done in j
Uie s;a.e building? He's a promoter
of wild-cat insurance to merchants
to peddling 'Bohemian oats to farm- ‘
ers. He's a lawyer who doesn't!
practice law. He's a railway pro-1
meter who dodges from one state to
another to prosecute Jiis graft. He's
a politician who nas done everything
to promote a gubernatorial boom,
from building a Sequoyan constitu-
tion for corporations and against la-
bor, to organizing corporations that
propose to do everything from build-
ing railways to making horseshoe
nails and finally turned the late con-
stitutional convention into a polit-
ical scheme to promote bis private
ambitlonB.
You Oklahoma people who started
at the grass roots to make a home In
Oklahoma, do you think that Frank
Frantz who started with you and
who has been under your watchful
eye all the time is not to be trust-
ed more than a man who has only
been here five years and in that time
has spent his time promoting rail-
ways, booming townsites and wild-
cat corporations with which to catch
the "sucker" as such men denominate
the people. Bamum said, "The
people loved to be humbugged.”
That is 'the theory upon which Has-
kell works his games and that is the
principle upon which he Is working
the political game today. Do you
want to be humbugged? If not, then
vote for Frank Franitz, tne man who
is one of you, who started In with
.you to make Oklahoma a "land of
the Fair God" an'd who justly wants
to be your first governor. Show him
an appreciation of your faith In the
“grass roots" Oklahoman.
This carpet-bag gabfest is tiresome
to a person of sense; just look
around you here at home and gaze
on the popoeratic carpet-baggers
whoBe only occupation since arriving
in Canadian county nas been running
for office or s*ucking the public teat.
The American does not like to
deal in personalities, but, unless the
democratic cry of carpet-bagger
ceases there is going to be a few,
aye verily, a large number of al-
leged democrats hereabouts hung up
on the carpet-bag clothes line to dry.

GERMAN BUND
GKItMAN - AMERICANS OF TWO
TERRITORIES OWN THE
TOWN TODAY.
THE SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING
ItUMiieo* Session and Speaking in the
Theater This Afternoon—Grand
Ball at Elks' Home Tonight.
We like boys, regular wide-awake
vigorous boys and we Hke to see them
have fun, but this practice of half a
dozen, kicking go-carts along the side
walk Is getting decidedly monotonous
and should he stopped. The side-
walks are for pedestrians who have
business to transact and boys should
consider the rights of older persons
and not keep them dodging four-
wheeled play wagons.
From Monday's Daily.
The people of El Kero take pleas-
ure in welcoming to the city today
the German-American Bund of the
■two territories In their semi-annual
meeting. A number of our citizens
attended the annual meeting at Guth-
rie last spring and made the acquain-
tance of these sturdy citizens who
have done their share in the work ot
building up tilts new commonwealth,
and we are glad to have them with
us today. We will endeavor to show
them a royal time, and hope they will
come often to visit us.
This meeting was at first sched-
uled to he held in September, hut for
some reason the date was changed.
This gave the local members l.ss
tllme in which to prepare for their
visitors, and prevented many who in-
tended coming from getting away at
this time, consequently, outside of
the 150 delegates, the guest list is
nod nearlly so large as ft would have
been had the date first set been ad-
hered 10. But nevertheless, those
who did come will douutless make up
In enthusiasm what they lack iu num-
bers, and win enjoy themselves fully
ns well with a few hundred as they
would have done with a thousand.
The lirst tralin this morning
brought in several large delegations,
and others have been arriving as the
day progressed, the biggest crowds
getting in on the the noon-day trains.
The morning was taken up in re-
ceiving the guests and arranging for
their accommodations, as well as
those who oame later. The 'business
meeting was called to order this aft-
ernoon at 2 o'clock in the theater
The (address ot welcome was made by
Mayor B. W. Riley, who in a short
but neat talk turned the city over to
the Germans and their friends. The
response was made by the president
of the society, H. Braun of Guthrie,
in a speech expressive with appro-
priate sentiments.
Then Governor r rantz was intro-
duced and delivered a eplendid ad-
dress on "Rede zum Guten der Ver
elns" (For the Good of the Order).
This was followed by short but In
teresting speeches by Judge C. F. Ir-
win, Charles Howard, Tom R/eld, R.
B. Forrest, Frank Meyer and P. P.
Duffy of El Reno, and J. Jensen of
Perry.
Tonight, beginning at 8 o’clock, a
grand ball will be given in the Elks'
home. The El Reno orchestra will
furnish the music.
The El Hieno Concert band fur-
nished the music for the Germans
this afternoon, placing a'lrs from the
Fatherland ae many as they wanted'.

LARGEST ELECTRIC SIGN

Oliver Chilled Plow Works at South Bend, Ind.
is one of the modern wonders of the world, be-
ing the largesl^ of its kind, and is attracting wide-
spread attention, While it is impossible to do
full justice to this triumph of the electric art,
the illustration at the head ‘of this article is a
very good effort in that direction.
This sign is placed at the top of the plow com-
pany’s new five story ware house and is visible
far out into the surrounding country. It extends
the entire length of the building, a distance of
250 feet. The trade mark portion of the sign is
a very prominent feature, the highest point of
the letters in same being at the center,'42 feet
above the base line and the plow shown, measur-
ing 59 feet in length.
The letters in the words "Oliver” and
"Works” are each lb feet high and 14 feet wide.

quarter of the city.
An illumination of this extensive character
naturally consumes power, and 105 of the U20
horsepower generated by a single one of the 12
turbine wheels at their electric power station is
required to keep this electric marvel brightly
burning, making its light visible through the
darkness for many miles, and so plain that the
name "Oliver Works" and the immense trade
mark can lie clearly distinguished and read for a
distance of several miles.
Located as this sign is—very near to the main
lines of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
and Grand Trunk railways—travelers will have
a fine opportunity to see for themselves this
"pillar of fire by night,” which is at once a
triumph of invention and science, and a tribute
to its projectors and owers.

SEVEN DAY
ADVENTIST'S
GREAT CAMP MEETING NOW
HELD IN THE CITY.
TNE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Great Work of This denomination of
Christian Workers In Okla-
homa.
The great annual camp meeting of
the Seventh Day Adventists Is now
the attraction in this city, and the
city of white tents filled with in-
numerable happy, Christian families
Is inspiring to good work among
men.
The organization In Oklahoma far
surpasses anything the casual think-
er would imagine, and their financial
statement, while too extensive for
publication complete In our limited
space shows a financial condition
that is gratifying and inspiring.
The tithe offerings for the year
ending July 31, 1907, amounts to
the handsome sum of $20,288.41.
A summary of the year’s finances
follows:
On hand July 31, 1906, $1,719.90;
received during 1907, $20,228.41-
total, $26,008.31. Paid out, $18,-
lo0.21; balance on hand, $6,858.10.
This is certainly a very flattering
exhibit of the business department of
the organization. We note with pleas-
ure the large amounts contributed to
Christian charity, caring for the aged
and orphans, the poor and unfortu-
nate.
This year's meeting here starts
with great promise of success, and
we trust It may continue both profit-
able and enjoyable.
Rhode Island, New Jersey and
Maryland, Mississippi and Ken-
tucky, as well as Massachusetts,
will choose governors next Novem-
ber. The elections in Massachusetts
New Jersey and Rhode island and
Maryland will be watched with in-
terest, because many 'times the off-
year results in these states have
forecasted the tide In the succeeding
uuttunal election.
From Monday's Dally:
Communicated.
The big Adventist camp now pre-
sents quite a lively appearance. More
than one thousand people are en-
camped, and yet there is the utmost
quiet and peace In this "Spotless
Town.” One does not hear any vul-
gar language or profanity. There is
no smoking or chewing of tobacco,
and the grounds are kept in a cleanly
condition. Barrels are placed ait dif-
ferent pointa on the grounds and all
refuse is thrown in them and carted
away each morning. It is well worth
the time ot anyone to visit the camp
and see how nicely and comfortably
everything Is arranged. They ap-
pear to be a happy, contented and en-
thusiastic people.
• • • •
Elder C. Sorenson, principal of the
Adventist academy at.Keene. Tex., Is
present, as is also Euler R. E. Por-
ter, president of the Southwestern
Union Conference. Professor B. G.
Wilkinson of Washington, D. C., and
K. C. Russell, also of Washington,
are present and will deliver dis-
courses during the meeting. Elder
Russell will speak tonight.
* • • *
Quite a number of El Reno people
were out to the meeting last night
and listened to a stirring discourse
by R. C. Porter. His text was John
111:16. The sermon was entirely out
of the usual line, but was most inter-
esting and instructive. Mr. Porter
Is au able and eloquent speaker, and.
It seemed an easy matter for him to
Interest that Immense congregation
of a thousand souls.
Following Is the dally program of
the camp:
Rising bell at 5:30 a. m.
Prayer and social meeting at 6:00
a. nt.
Breakfast, 7:00 a. m.

Conference at 3:00 p. in.
Preaching at 8:00 p. m.
Silent bell rings at t0:00 p. m.
when all are supposed to be in bed.
The above is the general program,
but the rhtldren and young people
have 'their meetings each day also,
usually at 5 and 6 o'clock In the aft-
ernoon.
• • * •
Visitors to the camp are treated
with the courtesy that usually char-
acterizes 'this people.
