OF Oklahoma will be interesting to
the entire country. It is known that
Senator owen will ally himself with
the tariff revisionists, that he is a
Bryan democrat, that he seldom dis
cusses the money question and that
he Is a scholar and skillful debater
Physically he will appear man
among men in the senate.
Senator Gore belongs to the ultra
Bryan democracy. In Texas he would
be and sometimes Is referred to as
populist He is far more radical
than his colleague and would follow
Bryan to any length on his govern
ment reform theories. He is blind and
his physical disability Is likely to
make him at once conspicuous
among senators because he is the
first one who has ever been elected
with this fearful handicap.
Most everyone who has any infor-
nation relative to Oklahoma knows
the attitude of Governor Haskell on
most public questions. They are found
in the constitution. The constitution
Is as concise a statement of Has
kells views ON organic law as could
be made, because there Is nothing in
the constitution that was not placed
there with his consent This he made

and upon 1t was elected governor.

Senator owen will not frighten

banking law extended over Indian
Territory so he could properly trans.

Millionaires' club. He Is a man OF

would hesitate long before he would
indorse legislation that he thought
was unfriendly to capital beyond q
perfectly equitable degree.

Both OF Oklahoma's senators will
demand federal legislation removing
the restrictions from Indians lands,
appropriations for the improvement

Before Haskell is governoc two
terms of the legislature he will have
upon the statute books laws separat-
ing the races as completely as 1t is
possible to do under the constitution
OF the United States. The only reason
he did not permit this written In the
constitution was the fear that the
president would disapprove the con-
stitution II 1t were done.
He believes in prohibition as a
statute, and he will enforce the
prohibition law In the state. He was
elected by the prohibitionists and
there will not be any quibbling about
the enforcement of the law. He be-

Haskell was elected governor by
the votes of the farmers and the
laboring element OF the state. His
first allegiance is to them. He was at
no time In his campaign supported
by corporations or the so-called trusts
or the railroads. He defied them. He
is friendly to every sort OF legis-
