HONEST ELECTIONS

DO the Republicans want election
purity Is the notei Jake Ilam0n
Joe McNeal's ideal purist?
The Republican machine politicians
Of Oklahoma have been making a fuss
lately for honest elections.
This Is the same bunch who stole
TIE election for congress from the
late lamentcd Bin Cross in terri.
tOria day Of Oklahoma
This is the same bunch Who rcfrscJ
IN nl Reno on October lOth, to en-
ter into m agreement with the Dem
Ccratic state candidates to enforce all
the election laws of Oklahoma and
who presented a resolution to the
Democrats, asking them TO agree to
violate tie principal election law now
~ force IN this state.
Some time ago, Governor Haskell
appointed Mr. j. l.. Allen, of Mus
Eogee. rs the Republican member OF
the state election board Mr. Allen
Is man OF high standing and integ
iitv in tho state of Oklahoma.
The Republican machine was not
satisfied with Mr. Aliens appoint
ihNitff NtAl NiA't'i 'b' iAMf VI tii'N AlNiH
tie state central committee of the
dominant parties OF the state the
right to name member OF the state
election board, tlsey submitted the
names OF two men TO Governor Has.
kell TO be appointed in Mr. Aliens
place. THESE two men were Frank
Greer receiver Of the Guthrie Cap
ital, and Jake l.. Hanon, OF Lawton.
Greer was Ineligible for the reason
that he was printing the ballots for
the state election. Under the law
Governor Haskell was left no other
alternative than to appoint Jake Ha-
Liam as member OF the state elec.
tion board Of Oklahoma. as this de-
mand was made by Joe McNeal's
chairman
Jake Hamon is the man whom Sen
ator Gore charged with having offered
him a S50,0O0 brbe
In view of these facts, do the Dem
ocrats. Socialists and honest Repub-
leans OF Oklahoma believe that the
rennon-Aldrich.M McNeal Standpat-Re-
publican machine of Oklahoma is
sincere in wanting an honest cleo
tion?
II 1oe McNeal We're to be elected
governor. wouldn't he have two mem
bers of the election board like Jake
Hamon?
In the last primary election, out oil
$500 voting precincts in Oklahoma,
there were specific charges of fraud
in ONLY about fifteen of these voting
boxes TIE charges that the Repub
licans are making in this state re-
earding fraud at the last primary is
reflection on the members OF ey-
crv election board Of the state, both
Republicans and Democrats, and
when YOU take into consideration the
facsfthat ninety per cent of the elec
ton boards Of Oklahoma are farmers
ii can readily be seen how absurd
this liberous statement is
The Democratic party OF Oklahoma
Il law abiding party. and stands for
the strict enforcement of all the elec-
tion laws including the grandfather
clause. and y knows that the elec-
ton board OF this state will conduct
fair election, and have an honest
count
II the Republican machine poll
/ icians OF Oklahoma are In earnest
ahont fair and honest election. why
aid they demand the dismissal OF a
rlan with @hc high standing of Mr. Al
len. and force on The election board
Jake L. Ilamon, who. Senator Gore
and Republican Congressman Cfeager
swears, tried to corrupt thcm?
