haskell. AND PROHIBITION.

There are few people In the state
who are taking Mr.. haskell to task
for his stand on the prohibition ques-
tion. They assert that he came out
boldly on the prohibition ticket in the
primary election and that he Is not do.
ing so In the general election. Those
who have taken this view OF the situ.
alton must remember that In the pri-
mary election MIR. Haskell had the
right to make his own platform, there
was 30 one but himself responsible
for the result of his taking any stand
he desired to take. But now In the
general election the conditions are
quite different. lie Is now running on
platform made by the democratic
party and not by himself That demo
question is moral and not political
question and that the people have n
right to pass upon this principle un
restrained by any political platform
Mr.. Haskell has no right to go beyond
his party. lie must run ON the plat
form that was written by the demo
Gratis of his state or refuse the nomi
nation II he were to make a political
question out of the prohibition issu,
he would forfeit the support of the
party which nominated him. MIR. Has
kcll will say at any time on what sid,
of the question he stands lie is not
a political coward In any sense Of tn,
word In his speeches he says that
every man has the right to pass upon
| this question without regard to party
atfiliation and that as tar as he Is
| personally concerned he will east his
own ballot for statewide prohibition

run on the democratic platform and

THE ozARKA BANQUET.

The Ozarka banquet rendered the
democratic editors Of the state by the
campaign committee will result In
much good to the party. 1t brought
the forces OF the party together, out
lined the work that Is to be done, the
best method of producing the desired
results were discussed and blazing
fire of enthusiasm was kindled among
the democratic workers The ban
quet was all that was implied In the
name. Ozarka water was served eX'
clusively The lid was on entirely too
light to please the thirsty fellows from
south Of the Canadian. but the boys
too kthe matter In philosophical way.
They realize that the press has a Ger.
tain important work to do in this cam
palgn and they are willing to do II.
The banquet board was an extremely
plain one. No corps of walters were
kept running until after midnight
serving the luncheon in courses. No
menu cards dangled from the coat
| lapels. The banquet was one of busi'
ness rather than of feasting. Thomp'
son. Cassidy, Barrett, Wyands and
others OF the committee had outlined
certain work 20 be done and then
saw that 1t was accomplished. The
speechmaking by the editors was sup
plemented by speeches from Cameron,
Pruitt and Williams.
Reports from all over the state in
dicate that the full democratic
strength will be polled for the entire
state ticket. The people are disgdsted
with the attacks made on the consu
tuition by the republicans and they
will resent these attacks by voting
the democratic ticket.
The republican are centering their
fight on the head OF the ticket They
entertain no hopes of controlling the
legislature or of electing any candi
date on the state ticket except the
governor.
The campaign committee IL now
getting down to real business. The
perfect organization of the democratic
party through its county committee
man and their assistants affords th'
key to the control of the state. These
committeeman occupy very importan
positions In the party and upon thei
efforts depends the success of th'
