Kingfisher. Oct l6.--t4eOrge Aiyca
Of Ringhsher Ringasher county life
long Republican. has declared for
bryan. Johnston and the entire Demo.
cratic tl,ket, giving his reasons that
BE- is opposed 20 TAFT and Inc Repnbll-
aaH platform.
First: MIR. Taft is the candidate Of
Mr.. Roosevelt and not the choice OF
the Republican party; Is supported by
fne trusts. combines. boodlers and
gragters, and not supported by the
hest element az the Republican par
~; that he cannot support ahy man
for president who does not believe in
the Divinity of Christ, and who rem
dered sacision while on he bench
against the reading OF the Bible in
the public schools. who Is SO dlssatis-
ne& with his own platform that he
has been trying ever since his nomina-
ilon 10 get ever on the main issues In
Sha Democratic platform, although
9nS same were turned down az Chi
enso BY the Republican convention by
8 vote OF s 10 | or still more.
u have made mp my mind to sup

Alyea, "rhat believe TO be In the
interest of the great mass of the peo
pie. Mr. Roosevelt so dlsgraced the
dignity Of the presidential office which
had been filled by Washington, Ieffer-
son. Jackson. Lincoln. Garfield. and
Mckinley that any one who has any
respect for his party or his manhood
ought not 10 vote for any candlaate
hacked np Ey the STANDARD OIL, the
steel triist, the international Harvest
ing trust. The Wall street gambler
and All Of the great subsidized dailies
and magazines OF this country
Who could say, II Taft should be
elected, he would not be guided by
the same interests now putting up the
money for his campaign? II stands U
reason that the same class OF men
would surround him in his cabinet and
would be his chief advisors beyond
Any question. And ten years more Of
the same kind OF management would
40 burden us and our children that we
would be no better than slaves. and
would not be as well on as the slaves
were In the time Of bondage. for the
reason that we are raising the slaves

free Of cost TO themselves.
u have lost hope OF the Republi-
can party ever being able 10 revise
the tarin IN the interests of the peo-
ple, or ever being able TO call a halt
on the grafters now in control No
more than a parent who had raised
large family Of boys and girls to man
hood and womanhood. and never
triea to control or restrain them than
We could expect that he would be able
to call q halt on them, or that he
could prevent their misconduct lf
any Republican is expecting this. he
Is going 10 be badly fooled. He Is
expecting an impossibillty. For this
and various other Feaslns ! am going
20 cast my lot wl;h the Democratic
party, which I believe Is p great deal
closer to the people. There are decla.
rstlons In the platform that ! endorse
npOn which the Republican plGtfOrm Is
either silent or evasiye. to-wii: The
guaranty Law Of aans deosits. the
election pf United 8tetns senators BY
direct vote OF the people, an income
tax making public the campaign con-
irlbutions before the election. (which
the Republicans dare not DO for 81
would expose their hand) The fact
that Taft Is the father OF iniunctions
ought 20 elect BRYAN without any 9TH
er issue Tafts position on the trusts
and the Tarin ought to elect Bryan.
He says many OF the schedules are
too low. In his letter OF acceptance
his views on the Divinity of Christ
ought 10 defeat him without any other
issue. The fact that he recommended
gudge Doyle a Standard Oil attorney
FOR q Federal judge OF the Northern
district OF Ohio ought to defeat him.
The fact that he is TO continue the
Roosevelt policies OF running of at the
mouth and giving away almost s00.-
coo acres OF oil leases In the Usage
nation 10 two representatives Of the
Standard Oh company, ought 10 de-
feat him. The fact that Roosevelt at
tackled the governor OF Oklah ,ma. az.
