HON, LEE CRUCE
FROM COLORADO
WILL FIRE THE OPENING GUN
18TH OF SEPTEMBER.

Hon. Lee Cruce, democratic nom
inee for governor OF the state of
Oklahoma, arrived here yesterday
afternoon from Colorado, where he
spent the month of August recu-
perating from the strenuous cam.
paign before the primary election
held or the second of August.
Mr.. Cruce Is in the best of health
and is enthusiastic with expectations
of a sweeping victory in the state
this fall. When asked what the dem
ocratic majority would be, his reply
was from twenty-five to forty thous-
and votes, depending altogether upon
the attendance of democrats at the
polls.
He will spend several days at
his home here preparing his opening
speech which will be delivered on
Saturday, September II. Just where
the opening gun of the campaign
will be fired is not known yet
1t may be at Fairbanks in the
Usage country, or it may be at
Frederick or some other town in
southwest oklahoma. The place for
the opening campaign speech will
be selected by John r. Williams.
chairman of the campaign commit
tee.
There will be fifty days of the
campaign. Fifty days in which the
voters will be bombarded with
speeches from both the democrats
and republicans. There are issues
in the state that will be of interest
to every voter in the state. they are
issues to be settled on the Sth day
of November at the ballot box when
the sovereign American citizen has
the right to create the conditions
under which he lives as far as the
state government is concerned.
The republicans have made loud
boasts that they intended to wrest
the state from democratic control.
They will have spellbinders in every
neck of the woods they say and as
sert that they will be victorious.
But down deep in their hearts are
the republicans hopeful of success?
There will be printed for the state
election 250,000 ballots. In the pri-
mary election there were about 127..
000 democratic ballots cast. Here
are the figures which show very
plainly that the democrats will re-
ceive more votes in the general cleo
ton than the republicans. socialists
and prchibitionists combined. In the
face of these figures that must
be taken into consideration, there
will be fewer negro votes in Novem-
Der than in September. This will
give the democrats an advantage of

Has Several Days to Call an Election.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. s.
Without giving further reason for
failing to call an election to resubmit
the prohibition question, Gov. Haskell
today declared that he yet has sew
eral days in which to issue a call for
the election, hence mandamus pro-
ceedings against the secretary of
state were not instituted today as
was expected.
The governors assertion was based
upon an opinion from Attorney Gen
eral West, who holds that the sixty
day provision of the initiative law re-
lates only to measures initiated by
the legislature and not those coming
from the people.

AUTOPSY is BEING HELD.

r. c. Sacra, prominent inter
married citizen Of Purcell, is dead
in this city. The circumstances sur
rounding his deaoh are mysterious

His wife and son arrived here at

Pete Smith, who says he has
known Sacra for twenty years. says
that Sacra had been out all day
Wednesday with some friends and
came to the Roberts building on
Caddo street about three O'Clock
| Wednesday afternoon. He had the
appearance of man who had been
drinking and complained that he
was sick and asked If he could get
| room there that he might lie
down. He was given a room and
Smith told him If he had any money
on his person he had better give it
to him. Sacra replied that he did
not have but three or four dollars,
but remarking that that would beat
being broke, handed Smith the purse.
Mr.. Smith said he did not examine
the purse closely, but thought 1t con
tained about 1915. About nightfall
Smntn returned 20 him an! handed
him his purse and advised him to
move into a room where there was
a lock on the door for the night.
This Sacra did. He stayed around
the building all day Thursday and
about nine o'clock Thursday night

DR.. Henry of the Sanitarium said

a bed in an unconscious state The
physicians believed then that he
would not recover, but they re-
moved him to the sanitarium and
did what they could to restore CON
sciousness. but their efforts met
with failure. He remained in that
unconscious condition until ten
O'Clock this morning, When he died.
He had the appearance, DR.. Henry

WHY NOT EXPLAIN

/" HE new assessment blanks have
been distributed and the work
of reassessment has begun,
Two remarks naturally occur in this
connection. First reassessment OF
REAL property is much needed and
should be properly made. To repeat
the reassessment OF PERSONAL
property, after having made such an
assessment only about a year ago, is
an outrageous piece OF extravaganza,
and can be ascribed only to stupidity
or to desire to hand out few more
jobs for the payment OF political debts.
The second remark is called Tor by
the failure of the last assessment to
reduce the tax rate. The recent as
sessment OF personal property added
about two millions of dollars to the
assessable basis, and yet the tax rate
has gone up from ninety-hve cents in
1900 to SIoS i'll 1910, land the latter
rate would be higher yet in our judg
ment il the county would meet ALL its
obligatons.) We are being contin-
ually told that reassessment OF prop
erty and the gathering in for taxation
OF everything everyone owns, can
work no hardship: for While it in
creases the amount on which taxes are
paid, il will decrease the rate-and
thus equal:ze things. Has our expert
cnce been such in this county? OF
course we shall be accused OF ''abus-
ing the county management" etc,
when we ask this question. But is It
not reasonable question And IL
stead OF setting up a howl about per
sonal abuse" why don't ME Crothers
county government explain To us HOW
1T is THAT THEY RAISED THE
TAX RATE INSTEAD OF LOW
ERlNG IT THIS YEAR, WHEN
THEY HAD TWO MILLIONS
MORE OF PROPERTY ON THEIR
BOOKS FOR TAXATION. But
they won't explain, They will jus,
gather it in.

neighborhood OF that road tell us It is

an admirable road. Mr.. lines the
