SPEAKING
Small Crowd and a Frosty Affair
Murlin and Atweil The Orators

A. D. Murlin, candidate for state
labor commissioner, and Hon. W. H.
Atwell, u S. District Attorney att
Dallas, spoke to a small crowd On the
street last evening, advocating the
election Of the republican ticket.
Mr.. Murlin, who belongs to the
printing craft, is running against Mr.
Charles Daugherty, who is a member
Of the typographical union at Ok
lahoma City and a printer by trade.
He is good talker but his argu-
ments were such a. have been fire.
quently heard and the objections he
urged have all been answered to the
satisfaction Of intelligent voters. A
significant feature Of his address was
tie statement that he intended to
vote for the constitution and he tried
to clear the republican party of the
charge Of trying to defeat that doc
ument. His arguments along this
line, however, didn't follow the state
platform and represented merely his
views. Like other republican speak
ers he tried to show that the initia-
tive and referendum had been sacri-
ficed when the provision was amend
cd. but his statements on this point
were pure assertion, not borne out
by facts in the case. He attacked
Haskell and also took up the explod-
Cd arguments against the school tax
provisions
Mr. Atwell, who has number Of
friends here, came with a splendid re-
putation as an orator and much was
exepected Of him; but bis speech was
somewhat Of 4 disappointment. With
small audience and little enthusi-
asm. It was evident that he was at a
disadvantage and though he INDUCED
IN few Of bis fine flights Of eloquence
he could not put his accustomed fire
into his speech He had bad at
tack Of "Haskellits," the species Of
nervous fright which is SO prevalent
in the republican camp at this time
and ne scored the democratic nominee
Frank Frantz was praised and GER
tain features Of The conatitution
strongly condemned.

NO COLOR line IN THIS court


A civil trial few days ago before
Mayor Bridges. who is a republican
candidate for representative, brought
out an incident Of interest, which is
not without its political bearing in
this campaign.
A case was being tried in which a
number Of negroes were involved.
The evidence having been taken, At
torney Adrian Melton was address
ing the court and in the course Of his
argument he had occasion to refer
frequently to what this "nigger" and
that "nigger' had said, and after he
had used this term several times, the
Mayor interposed, calling him down
in this manner: @Mr. Melton, will
you kindly address these gentlemen
~ their names OF as colored men,"
1T isn't necessary to record what the
attorney said in reply

LYNCH TOR
The TICKET.
Important TO LabOring Men that Demo-
Gratis Be Elected

J. Harvey Lynch, the well known
labor leader, is quoted as saying
"The democrats redeemed their
pledges in the convention, and the
interests Of organized labor we're
safeguarded, so far as was possible,
in the organic law. We are again
confronted with an election and it
seems to me that union men should
not forget to stand by the men and
the party who have protected our in
terests and proven to be our friends.
GAS to Mr.. Haskell and myself, !
will say that this is a crucial period
in the struggle Of organized labor for
equitable laws, and whatever my per-
sonal feelings may be concerning Mr.
Haskell, they sink into insignificanee
when compared with the inestimable
good that may accrue to the common
people from the party to which he
belongs. We can settle our personal
differences at another time and when
there will be no danger Of irreparable
injury being done to the cause Of
labor.
Il want to see a democratic legis-
lature elected to carry out the pro
visions Of the proposed constitution
and I cannot favor the election Of !
republican governor, for | fear if sucl
should transpire he would interpos'
his veto on laws passed by the leg
islature that are intended to carry
out the advanced provisions Of th'
constitution absolutely imperative.
ut is reasonable to presume tha
the legislature viii be democratic, bu
it is net reasonable to presume tina
the democrats will have a two-third
majority in both houses, SO as to b
able to pass laws over the veto Of tn
governor.
4 would, therefore, favor the cleo
ton Of the entire democratic ticke
including the democratic candidat
for governor

copy Of his statement, published in
the Times-Democrat last July, which
we approve and which you will rec-'
ognize as truthful. Since that state
ment was made, we note, to his credit
the recent state fair, which probably
did Muskogee more good than any
recent event, one-third Of the entire
cost Of which he paid; also we note
his providing the commercial travel
ers with lodge room in Muskogee,
rent free for three years, is a proper
inducement for this desirable class Of
citizens to locate and maintain their
organization in our city It is Gre
dit to Muskogee to have these men

He gave them to a gentleman and told him to give the strawberries to the lady he desig- mated and to leave the bicycle tires at his residence. In some way the packages were mixed up and the bicycle tires were left with the lady friend and the strawberries at MT - home. Itrequired some earnest words of explanation on Mir - part to straighten the matter out. How the joke leaked out is not known.
