SENATOR BOB OWEN
F0RESEES VICTORY
DECLARES DEMOCRATS WILL
CONTROL CONGRESS-THE is
SUES ARE CLEAR.

Muskogee, Okla, oct 3.-Senator
Robert L. Owen has just returned
to bis home here from Battle Creek,
Mich. where he spent some time.
The senator expects to remain in
the state until the close of the cam
apign. Since his election to the sen
ate ne has spent very little time in
Oklahoma. He is very sanguine about
the democrats winning the next
house of congress. On live political
issues the senator says:
The democrats ought not tail to
realize what the real issue is. and
that is the overthrow of corrupt,
business interests in alliance with
corrupt political machines.
THAT the insurgent movement in
the republican party is an illustra
tion of this it was against this cor
rupt alliance in Wisconsin that La
Toilette protested. II was against
such corrupt alliance in Orevon that
Jonathan Bourne protested; it was
against such an alliance in Iowa that
Cummius aud Dolliver protested: it
was against such an alliance that
Murdock. Norris. Cooper and F'ow
Ter protested in the house of repre-
sentltives.
The peoples rule system as laid
down in Oklahoma will make il I'M
possible for such an alliance to
eXisr. because the people always
have available the power to make
any law they do want veto any
law they do not want and make
such practices impossible because of
this power.
Fight states have already taken
the first step to the adoption OF this
system and six more will certainly
adopt it in 1910, towit: Colorado,
Illinois. Nevada. Wisconsin. Arizona
and Nebraska.
