PLATFORM
MincO Candidate for Legislature States
bis Views on the Issues.
To the Voters Of Grady County:


In offering myself as a candidate
for representative to the legislature
from Grady county, subject however
to the action Of the democratic pri-
mary to be held on May %, ] de-
sire to state that I fully realize the
great responsibilities Chat devolve
upon representatives to the first leg
islature Of this state; that it shall be
the duty of the first legislature to
construct, upon the Framework Of
the constitution, the laws first to be
administered BY Oklahoma in the ex-
ercise of its state sovereignty and
should this duty be improperly dis
charged, confusion and disorder will
inevitably result,
Profoundly convinced of the neces-
sity of wise and conservative legisa-
ton, if nominated and elected / will
use my best efforts for my county and
state. take for granted that all
the voters of our state are enthusias-
tic enough to familiarize themselves
with the constitution, SO that they
may know the rights which are guar
anteed them and their posterity and
more intelligently judge when their
public servants give proper recogni-
ton; however, | viii state briefly my
views on what I consider the para-
mount questions.
/. In the first place heartily en-
dorsing our constitution, | think that
it is the best constitution that has
ever been submitted to any people
at any time, and I firmly aver that
the first legislature should enact the
various provisions called for in this
proposed constitution.
2. | believe that the Legislature
should make a provision whereby the
people could vote for their United
States senator's in primary elections
and that all state, county and pre-
cinct officers should be nominated in
primary elections, for that govern
ment which is closest to the people
is the best government.
3. believe that the Legislature
should at the earliest opportunity pass
an efficient law providing for separ-
ate schools, coaches and waiting
rooms for the negro race.
4. I believe the legislature should
make some arrangements by which
the state should come in and control
ownership Of the coal, oil and
asphalt lands of the state and that
the proceeds thereil rom be used for

"A DUEL or HEARTS"

It seems that comedy drama is
what Chickasha people want if we
are to Judge by the reception given
Lew Verdin's company last night in
"a Duel of Hearts" Miss Dunlap
was as clever as ever and made more
than good in the part of Fanny Mer-
She and Mr.. Verdin made
a big hit with their double speciality.
Miss Jane Morgan, the wronged wife
played her part in a vivacious and un-
affected manner which showed her
to be more than good, she was excel
lent. She is not only clever but very
pretty.
Mr.. Leslie Webb won his way to
the hearts of the people Immediately
by his fine portrayal of the very diff
cult part of Geo. Dane. Mr.. Webb
has the appearance and personal mag
netism that will always place him
above the ordinary in any part he
may play. Mr.. Rea Berger is an ac-
tor Of many parts, and in any part he
is cast he is painstaking and careful
Of details. Mr.. Berger acquitted him
self with honors last night as Rivola.
Lew Verdin landed with both feet
last night. Lew puts life and ginger
in all his parts and plays them with
snap enough to make any part a hit.
His conception of the part Of Chom-
bley was a clever character study.
Harry and Frank Roberts were both
good.
A "Duel of Hearts" viii be the bill
until Thursday when "Faust" will
be put on.

the benefit of the public schools.
s. f believe the matter and manner
of the disposition of the state school
lands, as they are the property Of
the entire state, should be submitted
to a vote Of the people Of the state
at the first election after the adj
journment Of the legislature.
6. favor the enactment Of all
necessary laws in the aid Of the work
ings Of the railroad commission and
all other commissions created by the
constitution.
z. believe that eight hours per
day should constitute days labor
upon all public works.
8. will be in favor of a law pro
hibiting child labor in factories and
mines or similar unsanitary institu-
tions.
9. l fully endorse a good and lib
eral free school system.
10. / favor the opening, construc-
ton and maintenance of good roads
II. l favor and heartily endorse
the fellow servants law as provided
in the constitution.
It is my intention to canvass Grady
county thoroughly and if time and
opportunity affords meet every voter
personally.

AcouITTAL on HAYWOOD.

IT HE acquttal of William II. Haywood Of
4 alleged completely in the assassination Of
the late Governor Steunenberg illustrates once
again the futility Of an attempt by prosecuting
officers to secure a conviction upon the evidence
Of witnesses whose records are disreputable
From the moment that it was shown that Or
chard, the chief witness for the prosecution, is
most extraordinary criminal by his own confes-
sion it became clear that conviction Of Hay
wood was highly improbable. Orchards story
about himself and the crimes that he had COM
mitted was almost unbelievable. His own mar
ration stamped him as a monster in human FORM
Upon the testimony of such character no jury
would send a man accused of crime to the gal
lows
The general opinion of those who followed the
trial was that the jury would disagree This
view was held because of the influence and re-
sources Of the Mine Owners Association, that has
been preparing for the trial for months. Every
resource to secure the conviction that money
could command was at the beck and call OF the
prosecution A majority of the jurors were Sc
lected from men supposed to be wholly out of the
sphere of influence of the friends of the miners
and the Western Federation. Indeed the So
cialist Western organ that was particularly ac-
tive in the defense of the accused miners CON
ceded that the jury, from its composition, would
be prejudiced against the accused, and therefore
this Western paper would not have been sur
prised by a conviction. The case against Hay
wood must have been weak, indeed, when jury
under such circumstances rendered a verdict of
acquittal That verdict is a vndication Of the
miners and blow to the powerful mine owners
combination that has been pursuing them with
such relentless fury.

WHICH OK IS GoREp.

I IS curious to note the conduct Of some of
- the newspapers that only recently we're fear
tul that the Presidents policies would destroy
States rights" and make the States subservent
to the Federal Government. Fearing that the
Federal policies would be inimicabe to their in
terests, the Wall Street organs have gently, but
with ever increasing violence. discovered that the
States had some rights which could not be
crushed by the Federal Government The old
States rights doctrine was looked upon as
new club with which TO combat the President
But there has been a demonstration in North
Carolina which shows how far fetched was this
latest notion Of Wall Street The Federal courts
in North Carolina come to the rescue Of the
Southern Railway Company, and Governor
Glynn sticks up for the State officials Some of
these same papers that were only recently laud-
ing the States now declare that the governor is
defying the Constitution and "nouting" the Fed
eral Government in the face. Had the situation
been reversed had the governor been defending
the railroads, and had the Federal authorities
been trying to enforce legislation which the rail-
roads did not like we should have been surfeited
with columns telling Of the usurpation of Fed
eral authority and the dangers that reside therein
1t is largely a question with Wall Street as to
whose OK is gored.

RECORD on GovERNoR HUdHEs.

nj ANY Of the od-time political leaders are
4 puzzled by the course of Governor
Hughes, Of New York State. They know not
exactly how to place him. He has been so diff
ferent from others who have held political power
in New York The so-called radicals are not
quite sure Of the governor, and the conservatives
are still shy of him. There is no doubt strong
element in New York that is grooming the Cover
nor for the next Republican Presidential nomina-
ton With Roosevelt out OF the race the coast is
clear for a nominee who will not represent the
reactionary element OF the party. A candidate
who stands upon his record, and one with an in
fehgent conception of the general welfare of the
country would prove very strong before the peo-
pie and might be irresistible in the convention.
Governor Hughes may fill that place. His career
is worth watching. There may be a higher place
ready for him than the governors chair of the
Empire State
The governor has won signal victories before
the New York Legislature which has just adj
journed after special session The session
passed the apportionment bill recommended by
Coevrnor Hughes. Every measure that he rec
commended as part OF his reform policy has been
adopted, excepting the one providing for direct
nominations. All Of the other bills had to be
passed under pressure Of public opinion, led by
the governor.
The career OF the governor so far, has shown
what an able executive can accomplish. He
seemed to be surrounded by mountainous OBJ
stacles when he undertook his program Of reform.
But the people were behind him, and before the
people, when they arc thoroughly aroused, selfish
and designing leaders flee in dismay.

refrain from sin simply because il

CRY FOR WORKERS.

MOT only in Delaware, but in many other
y States, is there cry for desirable imm-
grafton. Men are needed to work According to
the reports from the new Bureau of Information
at Washington, there is demand in all parts of
the country for both skilled and unskilled labor.
Governors from many States are sending for men
and women who are not afraid to work. Mr..
Powderly, who is at the head Of the department
at Washington. declares he is amazed by the
opportunities open for laborers in the shops and
factories of the cities and on the farms.
One Of the most urgent pleas that the depart
ment has received is from the governor Of Louis
iana, who says foreigners are needed in all
branches OF industry, especially in the shops and
factories. Free homes and free fuel are promised
the right kind of aliens. Vast areas of land are
offered in that State for very little money From
Georgia is a standing order for an unlimited NUM-
Der Of immigrants. Single men are wanted, the
report states for the cities where the iron and
steel industries are booming, and the married
ones can find places on the farms. The wonder
full development Of Georgia as a fruit producing
country ought to make that State attractive for
the better class Of immigrants A remarkable
part of the requests for immigrants is that no
demand has been made for Italians. This, per-
haps, may explain the cable dispatches that thou
sands Of Italians, bound for this country, have
returned home. And yet the Italians have come
here by thousands and are doing the greater part
Of the rouhg labor.

TRENTON. N. j., July 29-For num-
Der of weeks Sunday baseball has been
agitated here and yesterday afternoon an
attempt was made by the Lancaster and

He was notified by the police that they
would not,permit the game, but th.s d

enthusiasts OF the game. Fully $500 PER-
sons were on the grounds to sea the sport

tons

clergy Of the city, there being lS2 signei s
to the petition. and the clergymen were
on hand to see just what happened. When
the police took charge OF affairs the play
ers retreated to the clubhouse, followed
by the bluecoats.
Colonel Perrine made a speech from the
steps asking the patrons to leave the
ground in an orderly manner and the
policemen placed every man that played
in the game under arrest.
The Lancaster team was given a hear
ing after the game and paid a fine Of $40
per man.

ceeds OF the game would be divided amorg
