MoNEAL AND THE RAILROADS

McNEAL AND THE RAILROADS
The action OF the Oklahoma rail.
roads in ordering their employees to
vote for Joe McNeal will ultimately
iniure his candidacy by causing the
public to understand the nature Of
the battle between the corporation
and the common people. Shall the
people control the railroads, or shall
the railroads control the people? is
the leading issue of the state cam
paign, The railroads are determined
not only to control the state as a
Whole but to control The voters of the
state as individuals. Their ultimatum
has been delivered. Political liberty.
social liberty liberty Of conscience.
liberty of intelligence and the free
dom of the ballot must be sacrificed
at the behest OF railroad kings. The
candidacy Of Cruce imperils future
railroad domination. The candidacy
OF MsNeal nsures future railroad
domination Hence the railroads are
determined to elect McNeal, even II
American liberty has 10 be sacrificed
and destroyed utterly
Bu. the stand taken by the rail.
roads causes no surprise, and their at
ttnde invites no censure. Years ago.
when the territory was young, Joe
McNeal sold his services to the rail-
roads for s2l0 year. He has fought
their battles in the days Of their dom
nation and he aas fought their bat
Ties in the days OF their adyersity. He
has sacrificed The interests OF his own
friends his neighbors and his state
that the railroads might defy justice
and secure exemption from its man
dates. He has helped them TO wreck
the laws OF the state multiply freight
rates 100 per cent, and annihilate
every restrictive power OF the cor
p0ration commission. BY helping
them secure the Hook injunction he
helped destroy the liberty OF Oklaho-
ma. Then why should the people be
surprised. and why should the rail
roads be blamed when the suffrage
OF railroad employees is enslaved in
the interests of Joe McNeal?

When Joe McNeal In his speech at
Wewoka denounced the Grandfather
Clause he was denOuncing one OF the
avs Of Oklahoma This law may be
right, or it may be wrong; il may
be just or 1t may be unjust; II may
be salutary law, to be continued In
orce, or il may be pernicious law
to be speedily repealed But it Is the
LAW, and so long as 1t Is the law It
should be respected, and IT should be
enforced. Mr.. McNeals denunciation
Of the law means O of two things:
he intends to'ignore the law and pre-
vent its enforcement in the event he
s elected governor, or else he will
labor, and possibly stands pledged to
abor, for the laws repeal His speech
throws a good deal Of light upon the
current charge that the Republican
party has promised the negroes to re-
peal the Grandfather Clause" in the
event the Republican ticket is elected
at the November election.

Amazement at the tremendous

promises a mansion in tie skies, but
health and happiness on earth. When
