Commenting upon the presidential

which have shown such hostility to
tha administration as opposing Mr..

that these same interests we're work
ing for Taft against himself 1t has

indirectly by the present tariff sched-

him on that score. Nor is il to be
supposed that they would overlook
so obvious a fact as that MIR. Bryan

AlToeETEER.

The Leader has no apology to make
fsr any position taken In the election
just closed. Ii defended the doctrine
of Democracy as ii has done since II
was founded. nineteen years agone.
Whoever WAS representing Democratic
government and ideas receiving the
brunt OF opposition attacks, received
the support OF The Leader the more
readily. because The Leader well un-
derstood those assailins Were after
what 1t considered the strn1ges est foif~'
ment of Democratic governnlent.
But that is OF the past; the election
is over, and, right or wrong the state
of Oklahoma expects to go forward,
crushing, pushing its way to the list
OF the progressives powerful, populous
states OF the Union, To accomplish
this end there must be unity of action
ana energy OF purpose. There can be
no place for the loafer, no time ex-
pended on whose wishes TO stop and
yowl al the turn of events.
The respective leaders OF the two
parties can hold in control the fac
tions Of the partisans. II is their duty
to see that all efforts are placed for
the advancement OF the state, and that
all money goes for the support Of max
ing Oklahoma the recipient of the
greatest number OF the emigrants
from the older and more crowded
states. Such will bring thousands
and tens OF thousands of desirable cit
liens, add to our productive power.
and enable our resources TO be devel-
oped many times faster than II we
had to do so with our own capital and
present population.
IL any of the agencies of publicity
refuse TO join in this movement and
desire to continue the intC~necine diff
ferences, II is the duty Of the official
party heads TO brand them, that Ok
lahomans may know who Is and who
is not filling the niche left for them
in our race for commercial suprem-
acyl
In advancing these ideas The Lead
er holds the prosperity and develop
ment of Oklahoma paramount to the
/ interests OF all other things or per
! sons. Personally IT would profit it
more, perhaps. to be more partisan to
aid in furnishing those whom It be-
/ lieves were unfair in the partistn
struggle
But at this time when the engines
of commerce go rapidly to the utter
omst and men Of strength and power
are searching for the best Invest
ments obtainable, II tehooves us to
maintain a solid fighting front TO Sc
cure our portion. Those who disap-
prove of such policy will not dis
commode The Leader, but they must
answer to the men and women toiling
to make Oklahoma an empire of which
all of us are proud and in which all of
us have staked all that we have and
all wa ever exDect 20 attain.
