thousands OF dollars The Chicago
Tribune pays $4,000 a year for Is
Of an acre The McVickers theatre
$4,000 for 36lOO Of an acre '. f..
Otis $4,000 for $4,000 OF an acre:
yet no one Is wronged It is a plain
business proposition
We have ci:-es in the sta or
/ Oklahoma that may rank with Ch.
cago in few years and some Of our
schol land lies almost IN the heart
Of some OF these cities, and again
every time these lands advance
one dollar per acre that means
S3.1O0S75 added 90 the school an.
other funds to which they belong
am not opposed to the sale OF the
building lands, but under the pro-
posed bill for the sale Of these lands
it SC IS adopted all these lands sell,
except certain lands lying in or near
90 cities. which are 10 surveyed,
plated and sold for city lots Then
again we have the best constitu.
ton known 70 man. The people
can do as they please. II the state
legislature does not give them such
laws as they want then they( the
people, can by the initiative and
referendum get what they want,
and they are not compelled TO wal,
two years or more for ne enact
ment OF a law, but they can gel
IL iu a few weeks This is not l.
political question. but | want TO say

20 see Mr. Bryan elected this
year Mr. Bryan Is the greatest man
known 70 man. He has gone almost
through three campaigns and there
has not been a single charge against
him in - years OF public life. II,
stands for our constitution and say.
Il Is the best one in the United
States He stands for our guarantee
banking law. He IS against govern.
ment by injunction, thereby stand.
ing by the common people, and he
I believes in the revision of the pre-.
ent tariff law and government by
the people, OF the people and for the
/ people.
While Mr.. Taft and the republican
party believe in government by in
. junction, higher rate OF tariff,
thereby building up a more central
ized government. and the stronger
/ protection OF corporate wealth, and
in the final end building up a dy-
nasty, and setting M an imperial
government, not of the people or
by the people or for the people. but
for a special class, gradually de.
crcasng states rights, and oppress-
ing the great masses OF the people.
Look at the way President Roose.
,clt has seen ft 10 vilify our gov
eruor, G. y. Haskell, sitting as the
chief magistrate OF this great nation
and coming down here in the youg.
est state I'm the American union
and not only yilifying our great gov.
ernor, but actually taking part in
ward politics, trying TO WELD his
long stick, rs he did over the peo-
pie during our struggle for local
self government, Fellow democrats.
II is only a little more than one
week now until the election, and
let's be u7 and doing and get every
vote We can for the democratic
ticket. Let's stand behind Mr. Bry-
an, Senator Gore, Congressman c.
d. Carter, \. r. Watson for coi
poration commissioner, II. l., WI.
liams for justice OF the supremr
court H. X. Allen for the state
senate, John r Whayne, w. +.
Glmer for the state legislature,
and for every democratic nominee
and let's win this election. We can
do It II We will turn out and vote.
Go early 70 the polls and vote early
and by doing this we will win a
great democratic victory, and restore
confidence among the people and
quiet the unrest among them.
