MISS KATE BARNARD'S APPEAL
TO ARDMORE UN|ON|STS

ing words Of comfort to her fellow.
workers today.
Miss Bernard says:
To my Fellow Workers Brothers and
Sisters In the American Federation
Of Labor:
Il am extremely sorry that | cannot
be with you and tell YOU in person OF
the stupendous achievements Of the
American Federation Of Labor. and OF
the splendid record We have made for
ourselves. our children, and our pos.
terity in the constitution of our new
state.
The twenty-four labor laws in
which we. together with the Farmers
union and the Railway Labor organic.
alton. have secured In the fundamen.
tai document will cause our children
to rise and bless US long after our
dry boneS have moud,red in the
dust. or when the grass waves i'm
bright sunshine over our graves. Lit
tie children will gather around the
knees of their grand sires and list.
en- To the good which We have done
and the grand fathers living will tell
the children of the Fellow Servants
law. the Eight Hour law. and the
anti-Child Labor law which we wrote
to protect Gods humble people in
this new state.
Think my bothers what we have
accomplished for posterity and be glad
and gay on this great labor day.
while you read this | am telling
the story of our victory to our boys
of the American Federation of Labor
AT Krebs. But remember the victory
is but half won The enemy still
camp on our Trail. and We must be up
and doingt hat we may protect the
little ones "'ithin our gates.
May God bless you and help us
both In the great struggle for liberty
and opportunity In the new state. and
may He so move each of us that we
Sltii nave HotHlIE W TfeTtl Wntll
our life's record is summed up.
with all my love and my lifes best
concerted effort. | am sincerely your
! friend"
As a parting thought. Miss Bernard
advises everybody to register. and be
sure and register, and vote so that
those laws which mean so much for
the future of the children of this
country may be ratified by an over
whelming majority.
The closing words OF Miss Ber
nard's speech In Ardmore the Other
night was TO advise the people of tn,
new state TO vote for Charlie Haskell
for governor of the new state. the reg
u'ar democratic nominee.

WHAT TAFT REALLY SAID.

Tafts oklahoma City speech was
taken In shorthand by two expert
stenographers and on examination of
the notes taken shows that Taft did
act. What he did say in effect was
reasonl that he would be confident
that there would be n new enabling
act What did he say In effect Vas
that he would not vote against IL
with any such expectation for there
would probably follow the organi2a.
tion of the Indian Territory until the
people could ger ready for joint
statehood and then you would pass IN
with n constitution made up by per
sons who are not so patriotic and not
so fun OF the desire TO exactly ascer-
tain the will of the people.
What did Mr. Taft mean by this
sarcastic filings at the motives of the
men whoconsistently carried out their
commission from the people 10 write
this constitution? lie meant that
nesc territories would stay undN

pie We're politically starved into sub
mission and reduced to such a seryile
condition that they would accept any
kind OF a government the corpora

REPUBLICAN METHODS.


Since the organization of the Repub.
lican party it has the reputation of go.
ing into TO win victories, get them as
II may. Desperate measures have often
been resorted to by the republicans
and many things have been done which
called for the deepest censure. The
theft Of the presidency in 1876 neve'
feased them. They were willing 20
repeat the crime II necessary to their
success. They have driven democrat
ic voters from the ballot box at the
point OF the bayonets.

most flagrant violation of all law. de.

larger and leading party papers. The

precincts is trying to ape the big
guns" and his assaults on the demo-
cratic nominees are but the echo OF
the sound OF the voice OF the recognized
'hpell binder' of the party ihgheiNt Z II
Character and reputation go foI
naught with them. No matter how
clean life a man may have led,
no matter how high he may stand in
the estimation of his neighbors who
have known him for years. just let
him be a candidate on the democrat
ic ticket and he is assailed by every
carpetbagger and carpet bag follower
who is able to make five minutes
talk In country school house.
The republicans started out in this
campaign determined to talk about
anything but the real issues They
have misrepresented the constitution
all the way through. They have
even stated that it made no provis-
ions for public schools. They have
told the people in Oklahoma that they
will be taxed for the support of In
dian Territory and that no taxes will
be collected on this side. These and
many like them are the kind of false
statements their speakers and their
papers are making.
This is the kind of campaign the
republicans are making. Led by a
federal office holding trust. realizing
that their days OF good picking are
numbered. they are desperate. and
as stated, there is apparently no
means to which they will not resort

TAFT'S BULL IN OKLAHOMA.

II had been the settled purpose of
this administration TO prevent Okla
homa from becoming a state in time
TO have voice in the electoral col
lege next year The scheme has been
for the President to disapprove the
Oklahoma constitution, In case IL was
adopted.
1t is scarcely possible that the
stupid blunder OF Taft. when forced
to make the speech that had not been
edited has let the cat out of the bag
in such a way as to make it impos-
sible for the President to carry out
his plan.
The Republicans. as well as the
Democrats of Oklahoma, want state.
hood. And whereas some Republi-
cans may not think we'll OF the con
stitution, they would prefer to take
It as 1t is rather than to be further
deprived OF statehood. This has been
made specially plain since Taft's
speech.
Taft is all right in the roll of lob.

that brought about peace between the
