A BUSINESS MAN FOR OOVERNOR.
In its issue of the 9th in.st. the Daily Oklahoman takes time and
•pace and taxes its pewee brains to show that the State will sure go
to the bow wow s, unless we elect a banker who has gotten rich in
business. No odds what kind of business he has been in just so ha
has been a success. And any man who has struggled along in the
world and did not have that sharp tact necessary to get the best of
bis fellow-man and get rich should be given to undestand that he
bas no right to expect any thing at the hands of the Oklahoman.
The fact is that the Oklahoman wants to toady to wealth and power.
- ow Loe Lruee may be a fairly good man as good men go now a days,
but why should his claim, to be governor, be based on the fact that
fie has gotten rich banking! He chose that line of business; Bill
Murray chose another, Cruce took notes bearing all kinds of in-
terest, usurious and otherwise, we are informed, and collected them
and, got people to put their dollars in his bank and he loaned them
out to the other fellow who did not have dollars and got rich at it.
eo he is the only good timber for governor. On the other hand Bill
Murray chose another way to make a living and get rich too. if
he could; but he didn't have any better sense than to work, at least
to an extent, and couldn't resist the pleadings of bis untactful con-
science and signed a good many notes for other poor devils who did
not have any tact. (Business sense you know) and he had those
notes to pay in a good many instances and it was darned poor busi
ness and Bill lost money and Lee had the money and a different eon
science, and business conscience; so he got rich and Bill got poor or
at least was not a "success" remember, in the "get rich game."
the fellow who got the dollar* is, of eoures, more able to look out
for the interests ol the people. The man who had the hank and got
the money that belonged to some one else and loaned it out at an
old rate of interest in proportion to what the traffic would bear,
(that is, aecording to how hard tip the poor devil who had to hav
it. was) is the best eubertional timber, and all because he has be
a success in business. Now. we know that the Oklahoman is not the
only people who think that the dollar is the only true measure
manhood. Such people as its editor worships the wealthy and eon
nequently the powerful, and alas there are too manv such peopl

It has been suece^ful busmen men that Las strewn the pathway
t'f man s history like mile stones with the wrecks of ruined nations,
and r.,1-d the earth with the bones of the wretched victims of suc-
cessful business.
Editor Suc-e&sful business absorbed the wealth or Assyria and placed it
Manager |n the ,lau'' nf a few men and destroyed that once proud and power-
lul people, lhey were bankers and uoury-takers and very success-
ful.
Successful business wrecked Babylon and its outlying provinces
and crushed the people.
Su.-;—«srul busmew overthrew liome and gave that conqueror of
tie world to the fierce Northmen by crushing their own people to
'serfdom.
Successful business placed all the wealth of Egypt in the hands
of one per cent of her people rendering the masses homeless serfs in
the fertile valley of the Nile, rendering her people 'weak and un-
patriotic and making her an easy prey to the invaders.
Successful business took the homes away from 1.600.000 people
n England in twenty-six short years of time and established land-
lordism in the castle on the hill and made her agricultural people
serfs in the valley and the field.
Successful business, which is today only an other name for or-
ganized greed has either directed or indirectly ruined every people
that ever had a form of erovernment that went down. Successful
business is fast making, in fact, has made, our sreat nation a laugh-
ing stock for the civilized people of the world, because we clain to be
a land of equal opportunities and of patriotic love for a country we
call free.
Successful business, has already placed over ninty per cent of
all our wealth in the hands of less than ten per cent of our people.
Successful business, has created more American Millionaires
than live in any monarch in the world.
•Successful business, is now creating tenant farmers faster than
any two nations on the face of the earth and multiplying homeless
people like the leaves of the forest trees.
Successful business, has controlled the price of farm products
for forty years and has caused the farmer to sell his products
below the cost of production for more than three-fourths of that
time thereby, covering the homes of the people with twelve billions
of mortgaged indebtedness.
•Successful business, has controlled the price of labor in this
country until it has tilled this land with an ever increasing army of
tinimployed and to that extent that when a successful candidate for
President was asked the plain question what is to be done about
them, he could only answer. "God knows." It has driven three
million of women and children to daily toil in the life-destroying
factories in our country.
Successful business is driving sixty-five thousand new girls
every year, into houses of ill fame to fill the vacancies coused by the
murder of that many victims annually and as many more that nevar
go to those houses but are forced to live in crime to live at all.
Successful business, lias established in Wall Street. New York,
City the real head of our government from which point thev control
the lawmakers at Washington as easily as a farmer controls bis shep-
herd dog. and not only national legislation but also that of States,
besides selecting all the federal and Supreme Court Judges leaving
only the appointment to the President as a matter of form.
Successful business, is fast dri\ing our nation and our state as
well, into a condition of unrest borderim: on anarchy, and in open
violation of all law and human rights. All this it has done and a
thousand times more which we have not space to refer to.
No: oh. God no! We don't want a successful business man for
governor. We want a patriotic man. a man who has- some feeling
for his fellow man. even if he is a failure in business.
May the good Lord deliver us, ami deliver us soon, from the
successful business idea. We need a governor who «ill stand for the
man and not the dollar. We need a man who has the love of human-
ity in his heart and whose ideal is above sitting behind a grated desk
and taking usury from his fellow man. Can we get such a man? We
don't know, but we do know that we want him and that we don't
want the Oklahoman to pick him for us. The business blood of the
Oklahoman has turned to gall; it is cold and slimy, it would pick us
a governor like itself.
The advocate is not working for any man. but we would rather
have a man who had been a failure in business than one who may be,
got his wealth by taking and keeping wealth created by some one
else. ———
miserable wretch who will not organize. And among the farmers, who
are scab farmers it is the same, every time the farmer, in any way by
united efforts and organization, betters his own condition or obtains bet-
ter price? for his stuff he also incidentally helps the selfish smart fool
«iio says: 'T know how to run mv own business." It is a notorious
fact that tvery time a ■ i.iss o: workmen o eanize and. by their effort",
change conditions for the better, tii-;. help the unpriutipled whelp
who will not join them; and so with the farmers.
si But, we have digressed somewhat from our subject. What we
want to impress particularly, on the mind of the reader, is, that right
or wrong, this is an organized world and that the unorganized man is
the helpless man. Ve have said that all are organized, we want to
qualifv that statement by saying, the farmer is very indifferently or-
ganized, ar.d while it is of more importance to himself and the world at
large that he be well organized, yet, it is true that he, of all other men,
is the hardest to organize, and the hardest to keep in line when he is or-
ganized. I lie fundinienta! reason why he will not oreanize. and stay
organized, is the fact that he has never appreciatel the necessity or the
power or organization, hence the smallest setback or mistake made causes
. im to throw up his hands and sav the organization has gone wrong and
Iwill quit.
He does not do that with regards to his political party or his
church, he will overlook small matters or strive to correct them in all
ether organizations be mav helons to. but in his industrial organization
e is a quitter as soon as any thing goes wrong. Now we want to be
understood that, in his as in all other questions, there are exceptions
and a good manv exceptions to the rule but nevertheless it has been and
is the rule that the farmer will quit the organization above all othei«
calculated to benefit him when he will cling tenaciously to <1 political
party that blunders year after year and that they know is as full of
corruption as an egg is of meat.
Our friends, the enemy, volunteer to give us a good manv reasor*
why the farmer can never be organized industrially. Their first and,
thev say, the strongest reason is because he is a fool and won't stick.
And now while tfiat is up to us. brotiier farmer, we should hardlv get
mad about it until we reflect on the past history of the former organ-
izations and see if we have not at least, been actine a fool. There is,
of course, a good deal of difference in being a fool and acting a fool,
hut the same time the effect as to the farmer's economic condition is
about the same whether he is in reality a fool or just continues to act
0 fooi and that we have done that, no thinking and fair minded man
will deny. Another reason, is, that the farmer is too busy to lie organ-
ized, and that statement is unquestionably the hardest one to answer that
has vet been urged. He has been constantly lectured on the subject of
industry and frugality, which is all verv well in their way. but the same
ecturers and books, papers and magazines fail to tell him of the most
important feature of his farm life, namely, of arranging an intelligent
svstem of co-operative marketing and controlling prices on what thev
produce as is practiced by the rest of the organized world.
We will continue the subject of "The unorganized man is Help-
less in our next issue and perhaps on through manv issues, and trv to
show that the farmer is the most helpless of all and must remain so, un-
til he can learn the lesson of organization and true co-operation.

THE UNORGANIZED MAN 13 HELPLESS
We arc living in an aire of organization. I-'rom the lowest to the
highest in every avenue of life, mankind is organized. And this is true
in all civilized nations. Wherever civilization has spread her benign
wings over the habitation of man we find that mankind is organized, and
organized along clu-s lines. Now this is no "just happen so." it has
purpose liehind it. It osts money and time and it taxes the brain nower
to initiate and build up organizations and keep them up and when you
see people build up and maintain organizations from year fo year and
from decade to decade and even for generations, we arc bound to stop
and ask the question. *'whv is this all so?" There must be a reason, for
(his is net a world of chance, and if you was to start cut on a four of in
quirv to find out whv thnje of a given clasj was organized, and was to
start with the bootblack and ask liitn why he had organized his union
he would tell vou that lie had organized it to try and better bis condition
ill life; to adopt certain rule* and resrulations that he and bis fellow
members should !«■ guided by. ami to fix a scale of prices that thev should
charge society far their services In short, to d«sti-ov competition. V
go on. up among the various labor unions and nsk of tliem the same
cupjfion. and while they " nv u c different word? iti explaining, yet when
they had answered you, t'icir answer would be the same as that of the

mercantile men, both wholesale and retail, and even the great railroad
magnates, ask of all of them "why arc you organized?" "Why du
have your union? Your a-siciationand when vou have received all
their answers they will be, upon boiling down, the answer of the boot-
black: Organized to better their condition in ife: organized to fix a
scale of wages among the laboring men; to fix prices on what they pro-
duce among manufacturer*: to agree upon rates of profit among mer-
hants; to arrange uniform traffic sheets among railroad owners and
managers: 111 short to make their business more profitable, and easier of
ransaetion, to destrov competition bv agreed rati"* and prices. We often
hear the old -avuig: that competition 1* the life of trade, and vet there is
t an organisation of any kiud in existence ti day, industrial or com-
mercial, or professional for that matter, but id simply a combina-
tion for the purpose of destroying competition, and bringing about

GOOD OBJECT LESSION
The attempt to amend the constitution of Oklahoma and strike
out a lot safeguards provided for the workers of that state was defeated
by a decisive vote. Who defeated the scheme? Organized labor. Every
capitalistic combine and public service corporation joined in spending
money like water to secure the adopteion of the amendment. 'I lie only
financial support given the opposition to the amendment came from or-
ganized labor. I lie unions of Oklahoma put up 5 cents per capita per
month for four or five months, ar.d with the fund thus collected the ex-
penses of the campaign were paid. And organized labor won out over
the capitalists and the corporations by a majority of upwards of io.000.
1 hat s what can Ik- done by concerted effort on the part of the workers.
1 he Oklahoma unionists did .not charge their leaders with being ''graft-
ers ' or with "trying to deliver the labor vote'' to this or that part v. They
are not that kind of unionists down in Oklahoma, and flint's why thev
accomplish things, rae Oklahoma incident is a mighty good object les-
son for Nebraska unionists.—Wageworker.
M e have noticed more than ance in the labor papers that thev claim
*11 the credit for saving the Constitution.
While it is human nature to boast a little, and say '"Sec what we
have done," yet. we rusty old farmers have a right to be considered just
a little. We have 110 way of telling just how many farmers voted against
the Carter Bill but we do know that the heaviest majorities against it
came from the rural districts and not from the etiies. Now de do not
want to say anything that would indicate fliat the organized laborers
did not. a- a rule, vote right, in this contest, and yet it is frita that there
were men who belong to Labor Unions and are in good standing who
traveled the state over in the pay of the railroads and did everything
thev could to pass the amendment, and if those who want 10 brag on
the Labor I nions as all of it, will find a fanners' union man in good
standing that worked for that devilish measure, I will give them a
chromo if they will name him.
It we are rightly informed the Inion I.abor people were onlv able
to carry one city (Enid) in the state, not, of course, because they did
not try, but simply because they didn't have voters enough.
^ Now with all the cities and large town- going for the bill will some
of «e are all of it fellows please rise up and tell somebody where the
votes were found to roll up a majority of 55,000 against it. The farmer
was glad that the Labor Unions helped them as much as thev could
but we all know that organized labor would have been utterlv powerless
to protect themselves if they had received no other organized help.
hv my dear wageworker. if every labor union man in Oklahoma had
voted for the bill still the farmer would have defeated it bv a small ma-
jority. V\ bile we feel kindly to the Labor Union men we also feel that
they sre boasting most too much, and ought to stop awhile and recognize
the old havseed who. while he don't look so awful well, can most of the
time be relied upon to check the power of corporations, at ie,., thev ran
when they understand it, and they did understand that the Dorset Carter
Amendment was
