Democratic Congressman Told
Where to Head i'm

The following letter under March
80, 1910, date is .ully self explanatory,
outlining an Oklahoma farmers views
on matters political:
Hon. Charlie Carter. Washington,
d. C.,-Dear Charlie: am just in re-
ceipt of your regular alternate year let
ter, and IL affords me great pleasure
to hear from you, being one of your
constituents-and worker in and for
your success in the past. The past
two years have been very productive
in the way Of food for thought, both in
national and Oklahoma politics.
Your letter was mailed under a
frank, without the usual two cent
stamps that the government requires
on campaign letters. The boys here
all called TO mind that this season prior
to last campaign they received the
same sort of letter from you, also
franked at the expense of the govern
ment. We have never heard of you
being over the district or writing for
the purpose of finding out what your
constituents wanted, except at the
time of campaign. The boys cannot
help noticing that these franked let
ters asks questions in such a way as to
accompany the questions with an ar
gument, which indicates clearly that
it is not the views of the constituents
for your own enlightenment that you
are seeking, but to make a political
argument for campaign purposeses
As to the first question, / think
nearly everybody is in favor of put
ting the lid on the business of the Five
Civilized Tribes. The only reason you
indicate for doing this is to end the
federal bureau. You could do better
service to firesides in Oklahoma by
urging the democratic administration
of Oklahoma at Guthrie to eliminate
the useless Offices and political snaps
there imposed
Farmers Getting Big Prices
Another of your questions is wheth-
er the high prices are due to the Payne
bill. As we, the farmers, are receiv-
ing 10 cents for hogs, 8 to Z cents for
cattle, 70 cents for corn, $l.00 for our
wheat, and like prices for other farm
products, and as such prices were un-
dreamed of during the administration
of Grover Cleveland and the German
free trade bill, am with the rest OF
the boys inclined to believe that the
present protective tariff bill has some.
thing to do with the high prices OF
farm products. In support of this
view might mention that the demo.
Gratis of our legislature in resolution
declared that the tariff bill is respon,
sible for the high prices, and asked
that the tariff be lowered, as the cos
of living is too high, and the farmer,
are receiving too much for their pro
ducts.
