hold Niblack up to criticism. Away

lilar occasion where an honest man suf'
lf fered between two questionable chai-
acte-s. But read the constitutional
message and YOU viii see who IS right.
Knew II Was a Lie.
Governor Haskell in New State
Tribune. June 1S. 1908:
The Oklahoma Times said The
Guthrie Leader received fifteen thou
sand four hundred dollars for print
ing seventy-fiye thousand copies Of the
constitution.
That three different offices In okla
homa city bid for exact duplicates OF
this work, and the highest was twelve
hundred dollars, and the lowest nine
hundred dollars
This Is a falsehood and the editor of
the Times knew 1t when he was print.
Ing IT,
The lowest bid on this work was
nine cents per copy, and the bidder
demanded cash. The only bidder who
was willing to do the work and wait a
year or more for his money, and possi-
bly, never get II. depending on state
hood, was the Guthrie Leader. Editor
Benedict knows this fact. and he
knows that he bid sixty-five thousand
dollars, demanding part cash), for
printing tickets, that the Shawnee
Herald printed for about twelve thou
sand and waited with the uncertainty
OF ever being paid.
II is true that Editor Benedict
tries to throw his sixty-five thousand
dollars graft bid onto his brother.
Looi1s mighty handy for such fellows
to have brothers, don't it?
