DISCONTINUED REPUBLICANS.

The democrats claim that the re
publican tarir plumbers the people

and the republicans declare the high
tariff rates foster industry and p.o
tect labor. The democratic claim is
substantiated by the fact Of the high
prices that everyone has 10 pay for
trust products and that incomes have
not generally kept pace with the in.
creased cost Of living. These facts
which many know are true by their
lican contention. hut the further
fact that intelligent republican edi-
tors are admitting that the present
high tarir schedules are injurious to
many Industries and have So increas.
ed the cost Of living that those with
limited incomes are suffering instead
OF obtainng their share of prosperity
adds greater weight to the democratic
claim.

LEE CRUCE At GUTHRIE
Our To"nsran Addresses the People
IN oklshoma's eapitalMakes
Strong Talk For Constitution
and lrpresse Audience.

The Guthrie Leader has this TO say
Of Hon Lee Cruce:
Hon. Lee Cruce Of Ardmore, candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for governor, delivered Il stirring ad-
dress here last night to an audience
OF several hundred people. Felix
Adler chairman Of the Democratic
central committee Of Cogan county,
introduced Joseph Wisby. who com
mended the constitution and intro
duced the speaker OF the evening.
Mr.. Cruce was received with
round Of applause which was often
repeated as he spoke OF the great new
state and its possibilities under the
constitution. He called for all the
farmers present TO hold up their
nands. A large number responded.
The supporters Of the constitution
come from the farmers OF the new
state and the speaker expressed his
especial desire to talk to the farmers
as upon them not only falls the duty
and responsibility Ct passing on the
constitution, but upon the standard
bearers also.
The speaker declared the free pub
lie schools OF the new state to be the
most important subject dealt with by
the constitution and commended the
excellent system therein provided for
and pointed with pride to the fact
tnat the English commission that Wis
| tied this country had reported the
/ schools Of Oklahoma territory to be
the very best they had found in the
| world With this condition in Okla
homa he sharply contrasted the unsat
isfactory conditions in Indian Terri
tory and begged for the large measure
OF relief that only statehood could
give. Compulsory education is mucr
to be desired.
Corporations. he said. are not to b'
abused indiscriminately, for there arr
good corporations and dishonest cor
rorations The one is to be welcomed
and the other driven out
To all corporations he would say
stay out OF politics. If he were elected
governor he would use all of hi
power to absolutely prohibit cam
paign contributions.
Touching on the political parties
Mr.. Cruce said an honest Republican
was alright. only he was whong in hi
politics. He declared the Republican
party has shamefully allied itsel
with the great trusts and corporation
and that the great body OF funds tina
won for them the last campaign
were rtuhlessly gathered from tn,
trusts and monopolies.

Thomas v. Veach Killed at
Eleventh Street Crossing
Tuesday.
KNOCKED FROM WAGON.
Was Well Known Dealer in
Vegetables and Country
Produce.

Thomas Y. Veach, the well known
huckster, was struck ard instantly
killed by the Louisville and Nashville
switch engine about 1920 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, at the Eleventh
street crossing.
Veach was going east along Elev-
enth street with team of two
horses hitched to light express
wagon, empty except that it con
tanned some buckets, in one of which
was watermelon. The Ellis Ice Co. s
building on one side and brick
warehouse on, the other makes the
crossing a dan gerousone. The brake
man saw Veach approaching as he
came into view and, he says, called
to him to stop, but as the train was
moving slowly he tried to clear the
crossing ahead of it. The team was
safely over and five seconds more
would have avoided the crash, but
the engine struck the hind wheels of
the vehicle, crushed them like an
egg she'll and the old man rolled on
the track and was cut to pieces.
The team kicked loose from the
wreck and escaped without a scratch.
The vehicle was dragged several feet
and finally pitched to the east side.
Veach was left lying on the west
track. twenty or thirty feet from
where he was struck. His right
hand was crushed, his sarm cut al
most off and his body practically cut
in two. His head was mashed and
the features fearfully distorted. The
body was not dismembered, but
seemed to be crushed, possibly be
being rolled along under the car.
Mr.. Veach was about 60 years old
and was the father of Duncan Veach,
the horse-trader, and of Calvin
Veach. His only brother is in the
employ of the city's street depart
ment. The body was taken in charge
by local undertaken and the coro-
ner notified.
Sam Fleming was in charge of the
switch engine which was backing
four cars southwark from Tenth
street. c. A. Jackson testified at
the coroner's inquest that he was
the brakemen on the side ladder of
the front car and that when he saw
Veach his horses heads were within
% or 80 feet of the main track in
fast trot. The train was moving
not more than four miles an hour.
He waved his hand and halloed to
Veach. He checked his horses right
on the main track, then started to
whip them up again. The brakes
were on the engine and the train
stopped but it struck the wagon as
it passed. Veach was crushed under
the trucks of the front car. The
engine bell was being rung as the
train approached the crossing.
The jury's verdict was that the
mans death was caused by the
wheels of the car passing over his
body, at the pit of his stomach. His
arm wus also broken and crushed
in two places.
The jurors were P. E. West, j. F.
Weaver, ]. T. Turner, C. M. Ed
wards, I. A. Adcock and Walker
Fields.
The burial took place yesterday in
Riverside Cemetery.
