WE NEED PEOPLE.

That Hon. Chas. u. Carter viii
command a large vote ftOm the Dem
ocracy Of the fourth congressional
district H. his candidacy for clce'o1
TO the lower house OF congress, is
not doubted py hose who understand
the real situation In this distric'.
We want more white people in the
state and the people Of this district
are making efforts to get them. II
is subject that touches all Of us.
There is no getting around the oh.
vious fact that Oklahoma needs white
people. We want people We wan,
people who will work by the nay.
We want people who will 90 to the
country and buy land or work on
the farms. We do not particularly
need any other kind Of people. There
is but one thing that holds MS back
the lack Of people. That makes
land values cheap. too cheap. The
valley of Eiphrates is n rich dis
trlct that once held the leading CIV
ilization OF the world. Barbarians de-
stroyed the civilization and the peo'
pie fled. The land today has no value
Once II VAS beyond price. when there
were people. when the people left
the land had no value.
In our state, on the Oklahoma ter
ritory side. the lands where the poD'
pie are. have increased In value
from ten TO thousand times.
why? Simply because there are
more people there. People make the
market and tho market sets the
value ON land.
II oklahoma had a million more
people the lands in every county
would at least Gouble in value.
Is not that TO be desired?
The thing TO do Is to get In line
with the march Of civilization and
vote for men To go to congress who
will get the restrictions removed
from the sale and lease Of Indian
lands. SO that 1t can be put upon
the open market Such land as ours

fact that the removal OF restrictions
