WHY WE ARE FOR cRUcE.

We, as citizens of Oklahoma, re
ioice in her rapid progress and
glory in the prosperity of her indus
trious citizenship. But as prosperity
increases we must be the more zeal
GUS to maintain our early ideals Of
service and government. 1t is the
essence Of Democracy that a man
should have the opportunity for the
exercise of his talents-that he
should have fair opportunity to
win the just rewards of his efforts
that he should be secure in the
results of his labors, won almost
invariably through sacrifice and self
denial.
1t is also of the essence of Dem
ocracy that no man should cOnstrue
his opportunity to mean license to
exploit his fellow man and unjustly
profit himself at the expense of
their equal chance. 1t is of the es-
sence of Democracy that community
rights should be safeguarded and
that TO which the public is entitled
should be vigorously compelled. The
ambition which knows no law but
that of selfish achievement must be
bound by the inexorable demands
of public service and the limits nee
esasrily imposed for the protection
of farmer or lawyer, merchant or
laborer
with these essentials Of Democra-
cy before us. it is well for us 10
remember that this is a political
year and that we must elect a man
to sit at the helm and direct the
ship Of state for a period of four
years. 1t therefore behooves us 20
be calm, deliberate and judicious in
making our selection. Democrats
wrote our magnificent constitution,
which guarantees to us prohibition,
self government through the Initial
i've and Referendum, ana they have
given us the Bank Guaranty law,
and the Jim Crow" law which pro
vides for separate schools, coaches
and railroad stations for the ne
gIoes and whites: they created pro-
visions for one OF the most efficiea,
corporation cen. missions ever insti-
tuted by any State. Each Of these
laws and constitutional provisions
was drawn up in the interests of all
the people and wholly without refer

While We are all more or less in the
legal tangle that is now ON, relative
to the location OF the capital, qucs-

THE FITNESS OF LEE cRUCE

A great American philosopher once
said that the reason that great men
arose to power was that they were
the typical men of their times; that
they represented most fifty the
thought and the sentiment of the
day.
Every thoughtful student of public
affairs in our state knows that the
great need of Oklahoma now is a
man who fairly reflects and embod-
les the thought, the hopes the de-
sires, the ambitions OF its people.
Incident to the preliminary work in
the laying of the foundations Of a
new State We have been living in
a strained. artificial atmosphere of
political fever and fret, but. now.

history to be a political State. 10

the clash OF warning factions and
the strife of place hunters. Her won

foundations. Oklahoma. in other
words, has passed through her po-
litical travail and feeling secure and
confident under the beneficent ban
ner of democracy. she is entering

AT MERCY OF THE COURTS.

Judge Huston in oyerruling the
demurrer of the state in the iniunc
ton proceedings against the capital
removal based his decision on the
grounds that the enabling act pro
hibited the removal of the capital
from Guthrie until after 1913.
This will probably be what the
contention will resolve intself into
eventually and all other questions
will depend for their settlement on
this.
II the federal courts who have
been appealed TO in the matter hold
that the enabling act in this respect
is effective, it will precipitate q long
legal tangle that will probably take
until 1913 and after to determine. as
the action Will in all probability go
through all the various means OF
procedure until it reaches the final
and supreme authority the United
States supreme court.

Eschewing the intrigues Of politics,

better understands the heart of Ok

Cruce. He has travelled it from bor-
der to border; he knows the people

to the study of all these things he

FROM MR.. BRYAN
THE GREAT NEBRAsKAN GREETS
GOVERNOR HASKELL AND CON-
GRADUATES HIM ON RECORD.
The OMahoman this morning says:

!ln OAliHOlldl Ahlo lApA inns hs'J 80
William Jennings Bryan remains
Oklahoma's good friends. His interest
in the progress Of the new state is
shown by letter to Governor Haskeh
in which he congraulates the govern
or and the democratic party on the
good record made during the first
state administration. The letter was
written aboard the Steamship Celtic,
May 30, while Mr.. Bryan was crossing
the Atlantic en- route to Europe. 1t is
as follows:
Just as | was leaving home | re-
ceiyed a copy of YOUR speech at Alya.
| have read it carefully. 1t is a re-
markable showing. You have with
great ability and clearness presented
a record that ought to appeal to your
people. | congratulate the party on
its conduct of the state affairs and
you upon your splendid defense of
your administration. There ought to
be no doubt of an increased democrat
ic majority in Oklahoma this fall.
with regards to the friends there, |
am yours truly,
"W. ]. BRYAN"
Governor Haskell's Alva speech was
a logical and thorough review of the
ence to the wants of the robblng
corporations.
In studying the temperament, char
acter and habits of the men who
have entered the race for the office
of governor and who have a chance
to win at the primaries on August
2. we believe Lee Cruce is the
only one who can, in all probability,
win in the general election If nomi-
mated and who possesses the quail
tiles requisite for giving the State an
administration of affairs which will
leave his party united at the close
Of his term, and yet Mr.. Cruce
stands strongly for the above party
measures in his State. He is a man
of affairs, safe, sound and conserv-
ative-progressiv in his ideas, prac-
tical in his methods and a staunch
| defender of the constitution. He is
| heartily in sympathy with constitu-
tional prohibition as we now have it
| in Oklahoma, and believes strongly
! in our bank guaranty law, as well
as all other laws making effective
the provisions of our constitution.
During the campaign of 1908 no
man in the State made more
speeches for William j. Bryan than
did Mr.. Cruce, while on the other
hand his strongest opponent sulked
in his tent and never made a single
speech.
For these reasons we believe Mr..
Cruce is the man TO assume the
governorship of Oklahoma. For these
reasons, also, the Democrat Chief
believes he should have the support
of the Democracy of the state in the
forthcoming primary, confident that
with candidate of his ability, char
acter and party loyalty can win
easily-Democrat-Chief, Hobart, Ok
! lahoma.

FRESNO, Cal, Feb. 5.-Charles
Hamilton, flying Curtiss biplane,
broke the worlds record for a mile,
which was held by Glenn Curtiss,
today in covering that distance in
1:12. The former record was 1928.
This time was made in a race with
F. b. Waterman of this city in an
Automobile. Waterman won the
race by two seconds. Later in the
afternoon Hamilton again broke a
Curtiss record when he went four
miles in 507. This time was also
made in a race with Waterman. In
the second race Waterman gave
Hamilton a mile handicap. The lat
ter won by five eighths of a mile.
AS he was alighting from his last
race Hamilton crashed into a fence
and broke the horizontal rudder
of his machine.

SEATTLE, WASH, Feb. 5.-The
Alaska Steamship company's wooden
steamer Barallon, which left Val
dez Alaska, on January End, to
land passengers at Iliamna, struck
the black reef in Iliamna Bay, at
the mouth of Cook inlet on January
5, during a snow storm, and became
a total loss, but the smooth sea
enabled all the passengers and crew
of thirty-two persons to reach land
safely. Clothing, bedding and sup
plies were taken ashore with plen-
.ty of fire wood and the shipwrecked
party went into camp on the beach
to await rescue boat which ar
rived on February 3, when the
steamer Victoria took the castaways
aboard, and carried them to Valdez,
and afterward sailed to Seattle with
them. Five of the Farallon's crew
are missing. They, becoming inn

Gus Swanson and four sailors left

has been heard from them since.
Five of the crew were standing
by the wreck to account for the in
surance. When the Victoria arrived
at Iliamna Bay, the food of the
castaways was almost exhausted.
The chief suffering experienced by
the shipwrecked crew and passen-
gers was from the intense cold, the
temperature for many days falling
to 40 degrees below zero.

Partner" thereupon produced a

he took money, watches, and rings.
AS the train was entering Cornell
the robbers dropped off and dis
appeared down an alley.
