ROOsEvEl1's VICTORY
EMDOLDENS PROGRESSWES
Are Demanding Complete Change
In State Leaders and Party
Management

insurgency and standpatism have
not yot taken on concerets form Ia
this state ami the lines Of division
have not been drown. If Roosevelt
lis nominated for president IN 1912.
and J believe he will be, he viii car.
rs Oklahoma II would mean a com
plete change in Republican party
leaders and management in the state
and the retirement Of all the present
Republican members of congress"
Thus L. G. Disney. Of Muskogee.
clerk of the United states court OF
the Eastern district, expressed him
self regarding the Republican situa-
! ton as q result OF the Roosevelt vic
tory in New York. Disney Is pro-
gressiye and would be a leader OF his
district were II not for the untoward
conditions that Chairman Jim Harris
has brought about
''By nis victory in New York state
| Theodore Roosevelt has performed
his highest service to the Republic
an party OF the nation said Judge
Milton G. CARRIER. progressive leader
In the First congressional district.
"fIis victory Is one IN which an ay-
erage man feels that he is direct
beneficiary and in which patriotic
citizens everywhere should rejoiee.'
Rejoice In Rooseve.t's Victory
One OF two things is proven by the
Roosevelt victory: the progressyes
in Oklahoma. while rejoicing secret
ly. have no inclination TO discuss
the matter for the reason that by
their very inactivity and silence they
do not become parties TO the predict
cd political assassination OF Jim
Harris, thus saving the guilt and me
shame from any man BY permitting
a metamorphoses that makes assass-
nation suicide; or they are COM
pletely bowed by the stubborn ear
Ism of Harris, superinduced by the
knowledge of manipulation possessed
hy Jake Hamon of Lawton. legal adj
wiser of the state committee, and
Bird S. McGnlre. the erstwhlle aver
age citizen but the dude. congress
man of the First district.
The former view is preferable, for
II is based upon the statement of al
pawnee insurgent 10 the effect tnat
Jim Harris Is making such a con-
summate ass of himself he needs no
adverse pfodding to drive him to the
fatal goal This pawnee man declalr-
ed that Roosevelt himself wants no
demonstration from the progressves
of Oklahoma at this time. he mere
ly wants insurgent votes cast against
standpat nominees for congress. II
rs Rooseyelt'a desire that the old
guard meet defeat In November in as
many as possible OF these states
where standpatters won the nomlna=
tions, so that within the next two
years thed isloyal to the doctrines
OF the New Nationalism may be pick
ed out by the work they did In this
campaign and the progressives plac-
ed in the seats of the mighty.
The pawnee man was a Rough
Rider. a comrade OF the former presi-
dent. and the Rough Riders OF his
calibre usually know whereof they
sneak "Point out to me-" said he,
ANY Rough Riders in Oklahoma who
are aiding Harris in this campaign.
Point out any prominent Rough Rid
ers who have been honored by Har-
ris. The followers OF Roosevelt on
san Juan Hill are politically wise in
their generation, and their wisdom's
best companion is security Wherever
vou find one OF them In office or nil
ing an appointment he is assured
that President Taft doesn't scare 10
remove him for lack of cause, nor
would Jim Harris or Jake Hamon at
tempt It. / am exposing secrets
know. but the brazenness OF Harris
and Mcclure sometimes compels the
most reticent OF men to speak In be-
half of their rights Q
The theory therefore that the pro.
srasaives In Oklahoma understand
each other in their reticent attitude
and will vote for the defeat OF me
