to place in the hands of its speak

clear up metropolitan charges

Wilson, the Republican Guber-
Material nominee, the author of
this Republican publication has
demonstrated that he is clumsy
dodger on the live issues of the
campaign; that he isn't even an
expert atfjuggling figures in an
effort to show a bad financial

and has contented himself with
reviving matters brought up a
year ago by a defeated candidate
for Gubernatorial honors, and

Clarence Sturgeon, a native of
Marion county, is to hang in
Louisville November Is. In
Louisville, last June, in a house
of ill-fame, he killed three men
over a woman. Some months
after the killing Of the men the
woman in the case committed
suicide. Sturgeon is about % or

were his downfall and in a very
few weeks he will know the real

enough, as its Editor thinks, ito
arouse a suspicion that alpis not
right in the affairs Of govern
ment. Representatives of the
Republican party, among them
Postmasters, and the former
private Secretary of the fugu-
tue, William S. Taylor, had ac-
cess for months to every Depart
ment at Frankfort, and right
well did they work in a fruitless
effort to fasten these insinua-
tons of Graft" upon the Off
Gals in power. After all that
work, their Campaign Hand book
issues, and it can do no better
than to reprint and reproduce
utterances of disgrultled persons
who spent as much time as did
they in seeking what could not
be found, corruption or wrong
doing by the Democratic officials
whom the people have trusted
for eight years past. The cry of
a look at the books" which won
for them in 1895, falls fiat this
year.

There is no let up on the part
of Democratic orators. They
are making an effort to have the
voters of the State give Hager
the largest majority for many
years. One Republican who
heard ex-Gov. Brady speak at
Greensburg told us what he
though of the speech. Were it
not for violating confidence we
would give the readers of the
News his opinion of it.

Cumberland, in the Democratic

He is a gentleman of honor and

The Court of Appeals deciding
last week held that it was not
in the province of this state to
regulate or control interstate
commerce. Hence as the law

prevent liquor dealers outside

from a Frankfort paper, which
ceased publication for lack of
support, a Variable campaign
sheet, issued by disgruntled
Democratic politicians making a
fractional fight within the party.
With such misrepresentation
abused by men who, like Mr..
Wilson, have been unsuccessful
in every political ambition, the
arthur of this campaign Hank
book contents himself, hoping
thereby to draw to the Republi-
can side such Democrats as were
not lined up on the side of those
who were successful in the Dem
ocratic State primary election of
last year. Not a word does this
Republican publication contain
regarding the fragrant violations
of law by use and abuse of the
military power during the dark
days of Bradley and Taylor, from
1896 to 1900; not a word of criti-
cism has it, as had William Mar
shall Bullitt in the convention
which nominated Mr.. Wilson,
for the murderers of William
Goebel, or of Republicans in
power at that time, and who are
now fugutiyes from justice, de-
Ginning even to return under
promise of immunity from arrest,
offered by the Commonwealth
that the Goebel murder may be
laid bare in all of it's details by
those who were responsible for
it's commission. With an an
nounced motto ''The Firm, but
Judicious, Enforcement of all
Laws" and a reproduction of the
weak, vacillating, plank of the
Republican platform upon tenn
perance, and not a word upon
the important subject of observ-
ance Of the Sabbath Day Laws,
the book authorizes the Repubh-
can speakers, for whose informa-
ton it is intended, to dodge
about on these live questions and
issues, and to talk to suit the
community in which the speaker
happens to be at the time he has
them under discussion. 1t re-
produces the letter of the Rev.
DR.. E. L. Powell, of Louisville,
charging Governor Beckham
with being insincere in his fight
for temperance and of observance
of the Sabbath, a letter which
has been discreted in it's every
line by the policy which the
Governor pursued in the city of
Louisville. The author and pub
Usher didn't ask the Rev. DIR.
Powell for his latest views on
this matter, or he would have
had a contrary view to publish.
The word "Judicious" inserted
in the Republican motto on the
opening page of the publication
is undoubtedly the loop hole
through which the Campaign
Committe expects the Republi-
can Gubernatorial nominee to
escape, should he ever have the
good fortune to be at the head
of the government of Kentucky.

Possessing this power majority
of the people can, in any even num-
bered year, confer the appointing
power upon the governor; correct the
Legislative gerrymander said by Sec
retary Taft to exist; substitute pro-
portional representation for the pres
ent crude method Of electing it's leg
lslative bodies; or do anything else
to the State constitution not in
conflict with that of the Unit
ed States. Thus, along with provi-
slons poisonous to the body polite,
goes the antidote-a foresight never
before displayed by a constitutional
convention.
AS a result of this wisdom, Okla
homa may confidently expect before
many years to have an organic law
less than one-fourth as verbose as
the present one. When a represen-
tative legislature has once been Great
ed, it becomes unnecessary for con-
stitution to go into details. For,
then, the fundamental law, dealing
with general principles, will need on
ly to define the rights and powers Of
the people, the suffrage and elec-
tions, the duties of the three depart
ments of government, and modes of
changing the constitution.-Lucius F.
G. Garvin, in The Public.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-10

But Notwithstanding the Indirect
disfranchisement of the people by
means of biennial elections and the
yet longer terms of office for manv
elective officials; the establishment
OF an executive department which is
to possess no executive power; and
the creation of legislature which
by no possible chance can represent
the people fully or fairly-in spite
of these fundamental defects, tue
Oklahoma constitution is the best
ever framed. By one provision, it
has placed in the people s hands the
power to correct any and all of the
mistakes and oversights of the con-
vention.
[ refer to the provision for the in
itiative and referendum, and partic.
ularly to that part of it which says,
Fifteen per centum Of the legal vot
ers shall have the right to propose a
constitutional amendment by peti-
tion."
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-10

What of the legislature, the real
source of government in an Ameri-
can State? IF that body were all
that it should be, full power of ap-
polntment would be conferred upon
the governor. But in order to ex-
pect such degree Of wisdom from q
Legislature, it must be chosen in a
manner far different from that known
to other American Sttaes.
AS a matter Of fact, however, it
is to be elected in Oklahoma in the
same old way, the senator's from sim
gle districts, and the representatives,
numbering more than one hundred,
also from single districts, except that
eleven counties choose each two mem
bers.

to the greedy nav of the Tobacco
Trust.
We have raised the spirit of the
poor tobacco raiser, established his
going and let him ride for the first
time in rubber-tired buggy.
We have replaced the Stats that
had fallen from the blind,
planted the vine at The door. and
knit up the raveled sleeve of desola-
ton.
Listen! Before we united in this
war my own county that gave birth
to the organization, and is the home
of those gallant leaders, Felix g. Ew-
ing, Charles FL. Fort and DIR. j. W.
Dunn, sold the finest crop ever raised
at less than 4 cents per pound. now
it sells for 10 cents per pound. Then
We had hard times and a multiple
ity Of suits, now we have plenty and
no suits, Then we had only three
banks with deposits Of about five hun
dred thousand dollars; now we have
nine banks, one in every little ham
let, and carrying of the farmers and
merchants money one million two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
On deposit. Before we could not get
an appropriation for the improve
ment of the public roads; afterward
The same proposition, which had been
voted down by an overwhelming ma
jolity, was carried by equally as
great majority.

THE OKLAHOMA CONSTITUTION
Continued From Page Eleven.)

Continued From Page Eleven.)
A singular oversight in the Okla
homa organic law is the failure to
specify how the principal executive
officers of the State are to be chosen.
incidentally it appears that the gov
ernor is to be elected by the people,
but only by inference may we as
sumo the same of the heutenant-gov-
ernor, the secretary of state, the
state auditor, the attorney-general,
the state treasurer, the superintend-
ent of public instruction, state exam
iner and inspector, and the insurance
commissioner. The labor commission
er, commissioner of charities and
corrections, corporation commission
ers, and clerk Of the supreme court
are to be elected by the people.
However, the intent doubtless was
that all of these high officials, like
the judges Of the State, district and
county courts, should be chosen for IA
term of two or more years at the gen.
eral election which occurs in Novem-
ber of the even numbered years. If
the legislature abides by this intent,
at least every four years there will
be some twenty offices to be filed
altogether too large a number to Sc
cure due discrimination on the part
of voters generally.
Four of the executive officers, to-
wit: governor, secretary of state, state
auditor, and state treasurer, are made
ineligible immediately to succeed
themselves.
