The Tulsa World inquiries why The

answer. Mr. Taft, when we were
struggling for statehood and wanted

went out OF his way TO abuse and seek

ana asked this people TO repudiate the
document The Leader admits It OPP
poses Mr.. TAFT. That II feels he would
for small party benefit stoop to lowly
asts: that he is small and very weak
politician. and holds his present pow
er by reason of clingihg to.the skirts
of tie president--not by reason Of in
tellect. Mr.. Taft must go down In
history as the enemy of the state of
OKLAHOMA, and defense OF him and
the principles he represents can not
be advanced by real live and pro
gressive citizen OF the state. Mr.. Taft
and Oklahoma can never be friends
and. The Leader being an Oklahoma
newspaper, advocating those things
which 1t deems Of good for the people
of Oklahoma can never stultify Itself
to proclaim the fat Cincinnati justice
as either patriot or statesman
