had boon good to these democrats
bnd other Oklahomans gathered at
the fair to witness the outpouring
from nature'B cornucopia, aud they
had money In their pockets and a
curiosity a desire In their hearta
that led them to buy grand stand
seats and cushions whereon to alt
and view the attractions. In thla
way they were beguiled Into contrib-
uting indirectly to the Uepublican-
Bull Moose campaign funds and
there Is much wailing and disgust
thereat and a great gnashing of
toeth at Democratic headquarters
where the weekly offerings from
provincial Democratic clubs and
committees bas been scarcely suf-
ficient thus far to pay the rent.
Twenty-four thousand dollars of good
Democratic simoleons—mostly cotton
money, to fa!ll Into the unwashed and
grasping clutch of Jim Harris and
his chameleon hued coadjutor, Hird

notable illustration of the three shell

18 EVERYBODY DOING US KOW!
It is reported In Oklahoma City
that the <backers of the noble The-
odore "put one over" on the demo-
crats and other good people of the
state in this wise: In arranging
to make the Dull Moose a rival at-
traction to the flying machine, the
pike, ferris wheel, fat hogs, fine
horses, bull calves, bull pumpkins,
etc., it was arranged by this self
denying patriot's financial agent and
the fair management, so It is allegod,
that sixty per cent of the gate re-
ceipts for "Bull Moose Day" should
go to the chief attraction or his or-
der. The receipts for that day were
reported to be upward of 140,000.00
This gave the Bull Moose chief
twenty-four thousand buckB for his
share of the proceeds. The story
goes on to say that the reform can-
didate had the amount handed over
to Jim Harris and the Bull Moose-
republican state committee to be
used in the election of Bird McQulro,
Dick Morgan, et al. Most of this
money was contributed by democrats
who were present to view with
pride the county exhibits, fat Block
and incidentally the flying machine
and the races. The Lord—not the
one engaged in increasing strife at

HOW WOULD UK IM) IT I
"We propose to legislate for the
farmer so tout he can deal directly
with the consumer, and so that wtien
the consumer pays for produce the
money may go directly Into the pock-
ets of the farmer, and 'by this means
we will cope with the high cost of
living as no other means can."—Col
Roosevelt.
The foregoing is a sentence from
a speech which Col. Roosevelt rec-
ently made in Oklahoma. He has
made substantially the same state-
ment in a score, or perhaps In hund-
reds of speeches, so it cannot 'be re-
garded as a slip of the tongue, an
accidental absurdity.
But that, it is an absurdity who
can deny? Why does not the farmer
deal directly with the consumer
now? Ik there any law preventing
or prohibiting It? Could any law be
enacted that would compel It?
Everybody knows that In a limitel
way the farmer does deal directly
with the consumer now. In the small
towns sometimes drive from door
to door selling their produce direct
to teh consumer. So there is no law
against it.
But everybody knows, also, that,
speaking broadly, it is. and will
always be, wholly impossible for
the farmer to deal directly with the
consumer. How could a farmer with
hundred fat steers to sell, deal
directly with the consumer of meat?
How could a farmer with 10,000 bu.
of wheat In (his granaries deal direct
ly with the people who eat bread?
How could a groat city like Chicago
be fed if its people could deal only
with the farmers who produce the
food upon which they suibsist?
On the streets of New York the
other day a woman orator declared
that meat wu« high because the meat
trust would not kill cattle enough,
and "If Roosevelt were president he
would compel them to kill more cat-
tle!"
The whole country laughed at the
ridiculous declaration, and said:
"How like a woman."
But the speech of the woman was
not on* whit more absurd than this
studlod and repeated statement of
the third term candidate himself that
"we would legislate so that the far-
mer can d<*al directly with the con-
sumer." It Is not only undesirable
economically, but It Is impossible
physically. And everybody knows
it—Bx

Tiie Pottawatomie county fair is &
sample of co-operative public spirit
that ha<> worked untold benefit to
the county and to every city in the
county. This splendid result of the
enterprise of a few Shawnee citizens
backed by the moral and financial
support of ourprogresslve 'business
men, will not end with the financial
benefits achieved. If. was worth
many time* its money value as an
advertisement in the creation aud ex-
tension of a kindly and neighborly
community feeling throughout the
county. It is not the fact alone of
Shawnee financing the county fair
and making it free to all exhibitors
and attendants besides paying all ex-
pense of the county exhibit at the
state fair, where the excellence of
our products has been tho thenv
of multiplied thousands, but it is the
fact that our Chamber of Commerce
had the disposition and the enter-
prise to undertake this groat work
on behalf of the whole county that
is responsible for a new <^a of
good feeling between the people and
communities of this great county.
Everything should continue to be
done to perpetuate this good feeling
for it is a blessed privilege and "a
consummation devotedly to be
wish*J" for 'brethren to dwell togeth-
er in unity.
Shawnee haB begun right this year
and has one of tho best cotton and
grain markets in the country. Here-
tofore our merchants have had to
come to the rescue of the market
and too often this has not been done
until the market had been badly in-
jured in reputation. Shawnee should
be the best cotton, corn, hay, live-
stock and produce market in this
section and thus far this year there
Is no complaint that it has not been
living up to its opportunities.
Shawnee has the advantago of many
other cities of like Bize and being
surrounded by a magnificent agricul-
tural country and trade in this city
immediately responds to the produc-
tion of good crops. Already our
business community has begun to
thrill with activity. Farmers are
crowding the market with alfalfa,
prairie hay, corn, cotton, apples and
garden produce and everything they
have to sell is bringing excellent
prices. Add to this wealth producing
commerce the largest payrolls the
Rock Island and Santa Fe shops
have ever carried at this point and
it is easy to understand that Shaw-
nee's renewed prosperity rests upon
very solid basis.
AN APPEAL TO REPUBLICANS.
By Harvey W. Wiley.
(Former Chief Chemist of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture).
My appeal is chiefly to those who.
like myself, have been lifelong re-
publicans. I believe that no kind
of an administration is going to ruin
the country. 1 have & high personal
regard for each one of the candidates
for president and vice president on
all the tickets. All the political plat-
forms are mainly sound and all
promise effort in behalf of tho
whole people. My choice is not based
on a platform. It was determined by
my impressions of the real attitude
of the candidates respecting the pub-
lic welfare. We are creatures of
heredity and environment. In our
attitude towards great public ques-
tions we are almost altogether crea-
tures of environment.
Y^at two men are by environment
least likely to be swayed by special
Interests and most likely to be
guided by devotion to public wel-
fare? Two of the candidates have
already bee ntried in the presidential
chair aud we know by experience
what may be expected if either of
them resume Ills former went on
March 4. 1913. Mr. Roosevelt by
reason of his attitude towards the
food and drug act abandoned the
consumers of the country to the
rapacity of a few mercenary manu-
facturers. Under authority of con-
gress 1 had carried on extensive
experiments with my so-called poison
squad and found that certain sub-
stances, viz., benzoic compounds,
sulfurous compounds and sulphate
of copper (blue stone), were injur-
ious to health.
Roosevelt Aided Food "Dopen."
The law conferred upon me, as
chief of the bureau of chemistry,
the duty of acting as a grand Jury
and determining whether foods and
drug swere adulterated or misbrand-
ed. Instead of appealing from my
decisions to the eourts as the law
requires, the users of these poisons
appealed to President Roosevelt. He
not only listened to them, but he
abrogated the plain provisions of the
law, appointed a board not contem-
plated by the law, and directed that
these predatory interests might
continue tehlr attacks on the health
of the people -intil this board, un-
known to the law, should decide oth-
erwise.
Can we safely trust the campaign
for public health to Mr. Roosevelt?
I cannot believe that to be the prop-
er course. Mr. Taft inherited this
exceedingly bad condition of affairs
from his piedecessor and has not
continued this illegad board under
wfeose patronage * dulterfttors are
still poisoning the people, but he d'd
worse. In the matter of the adulter-
ation of distilled beverages in which
Roosevelt upheld the legally con-
stituted authorities, Mr. Taft
versed that policy and threw the
mighty weight of the executive office
to the support of the worst lot of
adulterators that ever disgraced
country.
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall by
their strenuous efforts in behalf of
the food laws of their respective
Btates, have given a positive promise
to end such a threatening state of
affairs. They will support to the
utmost the officials under the law
who ar(e trying to protect the public
health and will make short shift of
those who have 'brought about these
present unbearable conditions
Wilson and Marshall by their edu
cation and environment are free
from bias in favor of predatory in-
terests and are inspired by true pa-
triotic zeal In behalf of public wel-
fare.
"Soldiers of Fraud," Says Wiley.
I support the democratic nominees
In the full knowledge that many of
the prominent democrats In congress
have been in full sympathy with the
paralysis of the food law in behalf
of the unholy dollar. But when the
democratic president and vice presi-
dent lend the aid of their powerful
sympathy in behalf of the public
health those of their own party not
in sympathy with them will be
robbed of their power for evil. If
Roosevelt or Taft be chosen the sol-
diers of fraud and adulteration will
be Impregnably entrenched for an-
other four years and benzoates, sul-
fites and adulterated alcoholic bev-
erages will have a new lease of life.
T becllve also that President Wil-
son will renovate the department of
agriculture, reeking, as it has been
for the past twelve years, with scan-
days and favoritism. He will see to
it that the bureau of animal industry
will protect the public health in-
stead of the efforts of the packers
to sell diseased meats under the de-
ceptive phrase "U. S. Inspected and
Passed." Under President Wilson
no more Pinchots will be kicked out
of the service, no more unspeakable
McCabes will exercise dictatorial
powers. Theer will be no more cot-
ton leaks and jungle atrocities, no
more Everglade swindles. Buc-
caneering, boasting and buncombe
will give place to sane efforts for
the promotion of real agriculture
and the public health.
Gev. Wilson His Choice.
Under Wilson the department of
agriculture will be restored to speak-
ing-terms with the state agricultural
colleges and experiment stations, and
the state officials will no longer be
regarded as Inferior beings, living
only on the largess of a V'ashington
cabal. 1 ask all who want honesty
and faithful service in the depart-
ment of agriculture, the promotion
of public health, and executives who
have grown to manhood and lived in
an environment favorable to that
which makes for the public welfare,
to vot<f for Wilson and Marshall.

ISSUE IS SURE.
Those Republicans who favor
Roosevelt for President but who do
not accept the appellation "ex-rep-
ublican", declare their purpose to
maintain their membership in the
Republican Party in the faith that
this party will ultimately be reform-
ed and that genuine progressives
will secure control of its organiza-
tion. This is, at least, the pretext
of many Republicans in Oklahoma
who support Roosevelt and yet ex-
press the opinion that there is no
need for a third party. To all such
we commend the following declara-
tion in Colonel Roosevelt's speech In
Oklahoma City:
"The bosses of the Republican
party deliberately concluded that the
time toad* come when they must steal
the majority of the republican party
away from the voters of the Republi-
can Party and they have ousted the
people from partnership with them,
and now they have served notice
that the people cannot get back in-
to the party. My friends, under the
constitution of the republican party
as it is now, the people couldn't break
into the organization with a Jimmy.
They have got it so that they can-
not. The bosses cannot have their
control shaken."
This creates a decisive issue 'be-
tween Colonel Roosevelt and those
of his followers who insist they are
still Republicans and that the Rep-
ublican Party can be made the in-
strument for carying out all of their
demands. According to Colonel
Roosevelt the people can never
again secure control of the Republl
can organization. To use his exact
language: "They cannot break into
the Republican Party with a jimmy"
The bosses have so fastened them-
selves upon the party that their hold
cannot be broken. Therefore, Col
onel Roosevelt insists that there is
a demand for a new political organ!
zation and that the progressive
party has sprung into existence In
response to the demand. But Col-
onel Roosevelt himself did not so
sharply insist upon a definite organi-
zation of his party in this state and
a war of extermination against the
Republican organization in Okla-
homa.
Well informed persons know that
the tenacity with which certain
Roosevelt men cling to the Republi-
can Party is prompted by a desire
to secure advantages for themselves
which they see no chance to secure
if they were to assume their true
colors as consistent, straight-for-
ward followers of the Bull Moose.
They are at heart members of the
Progressive Party. They are In
sympathy with the Roosevelt plans
for a complete destruction of the
Republican Party and the building of
a new party on its ruins. But this
movement was sprung a little too
suddenly to suit their plans. They
were already candidates for office as
Republicans and they did not feel
like swapping horses in the middle
of the stream. They want the offi-
ces. They are seeking to use the
Republican name to their own in-
dividual advancement just as Colonel
Roosevelt, in spite of his bitter de-
nunciation of the republican party
and all of its leaders, is endeavor-
ing to use the Republican a&me to
secure the electoral vote of Okla-
homa.
