Automobilists and others driving

harassed In their travels over that sec

The Barrens on their way to water

prevent horses and persons being bit

GOV. Haskell discusses at length tn

ull follows:
ITO William r. Hearst-Sir:
You claim there Is need for a new
political party and have sought
to organize such an organization
and have formulated a platform.
Following you will find every
declaration OF state principles in
your platform, and you also will
find that In every instance. ex-
cept one, the Democracy OF Okla
homa. in framing the constitution
and the acts OF the first legislat-
ure's session, has covered every
thing you recommend
you also find that the Denver
platform covers them, with only
two exceptions. as indicated here
after.
Says Hearst only Talks.
"You will observe, Mr.. Hearst,
that the progressive Democracy
OF the southwest actually does
things while you are devoting your
life to simply talking about those
things which might be done.
Il also beg to remind you that
last winter when congress was in
session. Oklahoma, through Sena-

tons we're introduced In congress
