that Gompers did the Republicans more good than harm.
II the first proposition is true, then Cannon must have
been making prohibition speeches in Maine. Beyeridge,
Lodge, Taft and Hamilton must have gone there to help
the prohibitionists. Such a conclusion would be absurd.
Cannon is not even a temperance man. He and Taft. and

Lawton Democrat: The Oklahoma City Post, ReDub-
lcan. says this thing Of the Republicans nominating rail-
road attorneys fer delegates to the constitutional con.
venton is loading the Republican press with a whole lot
more Of stun to explain away. Possibly the Post has
overlooked the fact that the Republican party Of Okla
homa is owned body and scul by the railroads, hence the
party can not do otherwise than nominate whoever the
railroads want as delegates to the constitutional conven-
ton. For instance, look at the actions Of the Republicans
of Logan county. wherein they nominated for delegate to
the constitutional convention, Henry Asp, general attorney
Tor the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. Is there
a sane man in Oklahoma that believes Henry Asp, If
elected, win protest the rights of the people against the
railroads. The Republicans expect to run their state
campaign on railroad money.
