THE OKLAHOMAN HAS A
TIME GETTING INTO LINE
t'
' xfce Oklahomun is sloshing about in its attempts
to get in lino witl tlio Haskell constitution end of
the democratic show—the fellows whom it but a few
weeks .ago branded as dishonest, unsafe und u
menace \to the state.
' To do is is a laborioais, sulphurous job.
The Okla.homan had equally as caustic, cutting,
disparaging vthings to say about Haskell as any
newspaper in OklahtMa, not excepting the ,tate
Capital, whiclv having kept tab on him and his
movements in and out of the convention since he
first came into state wide prominence, has been pret-
ty free in its mention af his many short comings.
In a recent editarial headed, "The Issue in the
Pending Contest," the'Okiahoman says much that
is misleading to the untruanded readers, and no lit-
tle that is salivated hot air.
In the introductory, in oqder to draw thought
fl-om the personality of tht head of the ticket, the
I klahoman says:
Laying aside personal consideration relating
to the character of the candidates, which are al-
ways of minor. importance and virtually irrel-
evant at a time like this wihen the boon of self-
government hangs in the balnnce, the real and
only issue in ti*- pending campaign is the consti-
tution recently fornrulated'by the constitutional
convention.
"The candidates are always of minor importance
and virtually irrelevant at a time like this."
What think you of thai. proposition, you citizens
of Oklahoma whose great interests are to be placed
in the hands of men whom a newspaper in their suj
port, refers to in this manner",—
As though a horse thief or ai three card monte man
would be as proper a person on the ticket as those
for which the Oklahoinan is "tforeed" to support?
The man is "always of ruinortimportance and vir-
tually irrelavant."
Humiliated indeed must ba the hand that would
pen such lines.
The great party organ apologizing for candidates
who it cannot commend—can not say one good
word for.
Was ever a party more properly cursed?
Then again the Oklahoman appeals to the discon-
tented through—
The cowardly subterfuge of "statehood," ns much
as to admit that—
The constitution "covers a multitude of sins,"
But to get statehood you must swallow it.
This is at least wholesome to the constitutional
democrats in as much as it encourages them in the
belief that if they cannot carry the constitution
within the party they can carry it by the aid of re-
publicans.
Then continues the Oklahoman:
The prime consideration with every citizen of
the new state is whether or not wo shall have
statehood and enjoy the privilege of govern-
icg ourselves after we have it.
"Statehood!" "statehood!" shouts the democrat
who wants to see the constitution carry.
He figi-res that the partisan advantages which are
paramount in the constitution can be rammed down
the throats of republicans through their anxiety to
get statehood. •
And, revolting as is the condition confronting us,
the constiution will probably carry, and that too,—
By the grace of those who feel that it is one of the
most villainous thefts and impositions on the people,
as well as ai. abortion in way of basic law. that was
ever presented to free bom, liberty loving Americans
for their approval.
The wonde' is how a right minded citizen can un-
der any circumstances vote for the rotten document
Bays the Oklahoman:
The democratic party is, and always has been,
the aggressive, persistent and consistent state-
hood party. It has everything to win and noth-
ing to lose by bringing it about.
It must be interesting to the republican who is
figuring upon voting for the demoratic platform to
have such rot as the above paragraph thrown in his
faee.
The republicans in Ifcct did all that was accomp-
lished for statehood leading up to the meeting of the
Con. Con.
A republican administration gave to us the en-
abling act, and yet the Oklahoman says that "th
democratic party is and always has been the state-
hood party."
Pity it is that some republicans have to lend aid
to the infamous work as now set before them.
The rotten thing should be defeated and one
acted by a convention acting under such an euabling
act as would be given us by congress this winter.
Again, says the Oklahoman:
While the enabling uet under which the con-
stitution was authorized is the nominal gift of
a republican congress, it is well , known to all
that the people of the territories were kept un-
der the territorial government for a period cov-
ering more than ten years for no bitter reason
than that partisan expediency with the domi-
nant party at Washington dictated the same. In
addition to this, we find the party locally secret-
ly opposed to any change in our form of govern-
ment because practically all of its leaders are
beneficiaries of system in vogue.
The above Haunt in the faee of republicans
enough in itself to cause one, who had about deeid-
ed to vote for the constitution, to turn it down
The Oklahoman has nothing to say about tho
four years administration of democracy and how
they brought about statehood for Oklahoma-
Nit—
When it prates about the friends of statehood.
Then too it throws in the face of republicans the
insult that republicans are secretly planning de-
feat of statehood.
True many are openly opposed to the constitution
and will vote against it. and if their ideas are carried
out at the polls or later Oklahoma will in less than
twelve months have statehood under an enabling act
that will give us at least a constitution and not a code
of ruinous laws.
Then us the culmination of all, the Oklahoman
says:
A vote for the republican nominees is a vote
against the constitution and statehood, while a
vote for the democratic nominees is a vote for
both.
The fact is a vote for the democratic nominees is
a vote for individual government of "the public be
d—d order."
Whilst a vote for the republican ticket is a vote for
the "fair deal to all" policy.
ORGANIZED LABOR IS NOT
FOR HASKELL AND HIS FRIENDS
Democratic newspapers and speakers persist in
the claim that the organized labor unions of the
ton itories are favorable to the democratic state
ticket.
In this they are very much mistaken, and in fact
(hey know better and make use of the claim for poli-
tical effect, just as with most of the claims made by
Haskell and his companions.
1 hey claim that the labor party followers are with
them because of the embodiment in the original con-
stitution of the famous twenty-four "demands."
I hey don t tell the readers that in the special ses-
sion those features were smashed to smithereens by
amend mem'* passed.
To set the people right on the condition we copy
an editorial from the Oklahoma State Labor News,
published at Oklahoma City, it being the official or-
gan of the Oklahoma county union:
"Considering the qualifications of the two can-
didates offered by the republican and democrat-
ic parties lor governor of the proposed new state
of Oklahoma, the Labor News is inclined to the
firm conviction that Gov. Frank Prantz should
receive the suffrage of organized labor. Mr.
Irantz has conducted a thoroughly business ad-
ministration as territorial governor. He has al-
ways taken the side of organized labor whenev-
er questions pertaining to our people have arisen.
He has never shirked a duty and in many of his
public acts has proven conclusively' that he is a
friend to the union men. His past record is suffi-
ent indication that the confidence of the people
will not be betrayed if he is placed in the guber-
natorial chair for the first term of Oklahoma
state history. On the other hand Haskell has
given many reason through his private and pub-
lie actions why he should not be honored by an
election as Governor of the new state. IJis po-
sition on public matters in the contitutional con-
vention has not been consistent. He was in-
strumental in writing a constitution which
would appeal to the organized labor classes
for the express purpose of obtaining the demo-
cratic nomination and then after he had ob-
tained the nomination he was again instru-
mental in changing the proposed organic code
in order that it would meet with the trusts and
combines. His dictatorial manner, after having
obtained the nomination, is, to our mind suffi-
cient evidence that ho would be a dangerous
man in the gubernatorial chair. In addition to
tills the serious charge is laid nt his door that he
did not come fairly and honestly by his nomina-
tion Those of the Cruce adherents who watch-
ed the former Ohioan's course are satisfied that
their candidate was literally robbed of the nom-
ination for governor. In the light of these
things, the Labor News feels that it would be un-
safe to trust C. N. Haskell in the gubernatorial
chair. '
THE CHAUTAUQUA THE GREAT
EDUCATOR OF THE LAND
The Oklahoma Epworth Assembly has proved it-
self one of the best and most elevating entertainers
of the country.
This is tho third year and it bids fair to make
good the flattering reputation of the past.
The day of chautauqua assembly's will not soon
wane.
Jn the summer time when people can enjoy camp-
ing out and open air entertainment there is no more
refreshing, brain invigorating, profitable way of
spending a week or two than at such a feast of
knowledge as is now being conducted by the Okla-
homa Epworth Assembly at Island Park.
The chautauqua is a modern institution of strength
and influence. • , v • ,
Its power for good is unlimited. • , . _ . , >
It brings man into contact with man.
It brings the masses into close touch with the
master minds of the nation.
Kings of platform and pulpit, singers of note and
teachers of the various arts and sciences urc there
to be found. , v - -v
It is a school for all—
The young and the old-
Anil there are none who may not profit by it.
The chautauqua will not lose its prestige or its
power for good so long as it maintains the present
high standard and continues to—
INSTRUCT AND UPLIFT THE PEOPLE.
In the chautauqua program there is nothing de-
basing—
Everything refining and ennobling.
Certainly the people are to be congratulated up-
on the growth and spread of thj chautauqua over
the country; —
ind especially are the communifcites which are
favored by them to be congratulated.
Oklahoma is indeed fortunate in having in her
midst so progressive and beneficial an element as is
that whiah stands back of the Oklahoma Epworth
Assembly.
It does all Guthrie proud to he honored by the
meeting in its midst of this great body of enter-
tainers.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS
THE PROTECTOR OF TRUSTS
And now the spool cotton trust has decided to
advance the price of spool cotton to ten cents,
and the independent manufacturers declare
there is no reason for the advance as the price
of cotton is not as high as it has been in pre-
vious years. It becomes increasingly evident
that the Ameican people will have to bust the
trusts or the trusts will bust the Ameican peo-
ple.—Gen. fcfmith D. Atkins in Freeport, 111.,
Journal.
True! Too true! and yet Oklahoma, which is now
knocking for statehood, will vote upon a code of
laws called a constitution, which knows nothing
about trusts.
The constitution, so called, is so intensely demo-
cratic in its make-up that it disfranchises 30.000 to
40,000 republicans in the gerrymander—
Takes a shot at the judiciary,—
Fails to make provisions for conducting more
than two or three months of free schools,—
And yet it fails to in any way make provisions
by which to andle the trusts.
With disparaging criticisms for the Federal con-
stitution arid shouts interspersed throughout the
sessions of "I am a democrat," not a word was en"
gafted in the base basic law about the, heretofore,
object of special mention when attacking republi-
cans and republican organization.
This last omission occurs because of the fact that
one man domineered the convention and used his
sweet will in dictation of what should and what
should not go into his constitution, he being an
and fit student of Cal Briee, the great trust promoter
and defender.
Why should Boss Haskell want a provision in the
constitution grappling trusts?
It would be too much like one throttling his par-
ent were Haskell to countenance such a provision,
and yet most democrats will vote for his debauched
code of laws.
And, save the mark,—there are republicans who
will vote with them, feeling that they are voting for
the boldest political theft as well as the most vile
document that was ever put before a people for their
approval;—
They failing to appreciate the fact that a new en-
abling act will follow in quick succession a defeat of
the constitution.
The constitution must be rejected or amended to
give to Oklahoma and her people a safe, wise, econ-
omical government and only through the republican
party can it be accomplished. The safest plan, how-
ever, is for all republican and democrat opposcrs to
vote against it and let the majority for it be as small
ns possible.
What i? tho difference between the theft of .10,000
votes through the constitution and the theft of 30,-
000 votes direct from ballot boxes? One is the work
of designing politicians who dares attempt the rob-
bery by making the public particeps criminis, and
the other is directly amendable to the law. One is
the work of cowards who have no fear of the law
because of knowledge that there is no law that will
ere are just a few things the republicans stand reach them. The other is the work of hold, fool-
hardy villains, who by their desperate methods
planned, have no fear of the law. Is one more a vil-
lain in reality than the otherT This is putting the
point at issue in a plain matter of-fact way, but is
it put any too plain to meet the exigencies of the
ease J
THERE APE CHAUTAUQUAS
AND THERE ARE CHAUTAUQUAS
But yesterday the State Ctpital dwelled at some
length upon the great work that the chautauqua of
the nation were doing for the people iu line of edu-
cation and enlightenment—affording pleasure in a
way that all might profit by them.
Today wc picked up the Milwaukee Sentinel and
learned that tho chautauquas are on the deelino!
After dwelling upon the cause of the decline tho
Sentinel says:
"Here ia an example in point. At the Manito-
woc chautauqua last Monday Tillman regaled
his hearers by calling them moral cowards and
adding "before you force us to accept the thick
lipped, kinky haired negro on plane of equali-
ty in suffrage, we'll see you in hell first." Nice
language for a chautauqua! Was any human
being in that vast throng wiser or better for
hearing it? What is the present aim and pur-
pose of a chautauqua, anyway? Of course Till-
man knows what he is hired for, and he delivers
the goods, as per contract."
There are chautauquas and there are chautauquas.
There are those gotten up especially to make mon-
ey and there are those conducted solely with the
view of educating, elevating and entertaining those
who attend them.
Such a one is that now being held at Island
Park.
No such insult is to be heard or countenanced
on or about the speakers stand of that association.
No person is placed upon the program of the Ok-
lahoma Epworth Association that is likely to shock
a sensative person and lower the estimate of chau-
tauquas as is him above described.
It is indeed a pity to see a man of Tillman's
ability making an oratorical wild man of Borneo of
himself to draw a crowd.
And, indeed, it is more pitiful to find chautau-
qua managers for the sake of cash perveying mere
rant and fustion and sensationalism that do their
audience, and the public in general, much more harm
than good.
The State Capital is proud to record that the Ok-
lahoma Epworth Assembly has guarded the people
against the blighting effects of such unholy rantings
as are invariably indulged in by men of Ben Till-
man's character.
With chautauquas coducted in the manner that is
the Oklahoma Epworth Assembly there need be no
fear of the decline of chautauquas;—
On the contrary, they must grow and become
more popular year by year.
SOME WILL SHUT THEIR EYES,
HOLD THEIR NOSE AND TAKE IT.
Some newspapers feign to not understand the
State Capital's position on the constitution.
It has fought that villainous document from the
first engrafting into it sectional ideas and ruinous
laws, and it is still fighting along that line.
The republican who can swallow the bitter dose
prepared by persons of the mo3t intense sectional
and partisan bias ever presented to a freeborn peo
pie, can certainly go anything in way of a political
emetic ever administered.
THE STATE CAPITAL IS OPPOSED TO THE
CONSTITUTION, andventures the assertion that it
it becomes the basic law of Oklahoma, which we
think hardly possible, every republican, and in fact
every man who is not in politics for the dollar, who
votes for it will regret such action so long as he
lives in the new state.
Oct right on this question, you who wish to see of
Oklahoma the great and growing state it is capable
of being, if allowed to come into the Union in a way
to draw to its rich agricultural fields, its inexhausti-
ble mines and its business centers, the brawn, sinue
and brain, as well as the wealth of the North, East.
Wi ,t and South alike.
Not of one section principally— ^ v'¥
Ar.'.l that section the least progressive,—
As must be the case under state administration in
sympathy with the constitution and its makers.
No republican can afford to place his seal of ap-
provel upon such a ruinous document.
It will carry, doubtless, but let it be carried by its
friends and those who can not turn down a vicious
law which in some feature of its viciousness benefits
them personally and pecuniarily,
As they now hope.
A hope which they will more than likely figure
in the future was "a snare and a delusion."
Don't be caught by the cry of statehood.
We will have statehood within a year if the rot-
ten constitution is turned down, either at the polls
or by him who believes in— ,.
A square deal. v

just taxation, equity between enptal and labor, high

observation, as they claim, that prohibition laws do
not prohibit. They are firmly of the opinion that lo-
cal option is the only successful way of handling the
liquor question and they figure that with a state law
such as Kansas has "it can never" be revoked hence
there can lie no hopes for local option as there will
be with the defeat of the constitutional provision.
The opinion is prevalent that if the question could be
