The leading abstractor of Logan coun-
ty is Republican and a strong one,
too. Said he today:
u intend to vote my party state
ticket. but ! intend to scratch my
county ticket.
I'm going to vote for more Demo
Gratis on the county ticket November 3
than | ever did before in my life.
Why. Because its my business to
keep in close touch with county mat
ters. | have been in Logan county
twenty years. I've seen all kinds of
administrations but . want to say
that the present Republican county ad-
minlstration is the worst in the his
tory Of logan. These officials have
no injunction whatever; they don't
care what they do. They have rasp-
ed the taxpayers almost to death
DO we need a changer Great gunsl
should think we dol"
The poor old state Capital contin-
ues to throw one spasm after another,
1t eats It's own pills in order to throw
spasms 1t really is humorous. And
in al due respect why has the Capital
let up on its fight for McNeal? Why
has It weakened on Haskell? Why
does the Capital, in panic, now turn
in desperation on matters at home
and seek to defend the ring manipu-
lation OF county affairs? Funny isn't
it?
And the Republican state Register
also weakens on McNeal The Regis
ter has Jared very well at the hands
of the present county board-and II
wants a continuance, so John can rl.l
for congress again.
Has the Capital received so much
slush from the state Republican com
mittee that It can glibly pass Up $500
The Leader offered the Capital $500,
IL the article concerning the McNeal
meetingat Muskogee was not from a
Muskogee paper. Up to date the Capt.
tai has not claimed the $500. The
ceader can see no sense Inf = ssiig--tne
plain. unvarnished truth Is what the
people want and can tell. The truth
is good enough. The Capital purports
to have telegram from ]. r. Jenkins
saying the McNeal meeting at Mus
kogee was grand and that the xory
printed In The Leader did not come
from Muskogee paper. jenkins can
handle truth as economically as Greer
He is a moocher. When you want
Jenkins quieted just ask why he was
kicked out Of the Indian service
Meanwhile the $500 continues 20 hang
up.
With 2 bottle of Budweiser in one
hand and an onblink typewriter In
the other, Claude Burr sits in tae
Capital office and lies paraaoxical
az IL may seem, Burr can do this--sii
AMI lie, at the same time He lies
first under the name of Neil Langlin
then under the name of Alfred A
Greenlee. He dates the rot Oklahoma
City. When the suds are working
strong he lies out of whole cloth
and TIE beer is nearly always strong
When Claudius is not beering political
stories, he IS quarreling VIII
Caddo Allard as to who is managing
editor Allard claims the place by
right of being the biggest liar next
to Greer. This always maddens Burr
so in order to prove to Allard that he
himself liar by rote. he appends
assumed names to his fantasies. TIE
latest dream appeared In the Capital
October % II savs the Leader has
Just received $4,000 from the state
campaign cc1nmiyh'e. 1t does not
state whether the money was in cash
check or note, but tae Capital says
the Lender got It. Would II were
true, Put It "aiu't" Like the mar
who saw camel for the first time
there amt no such animals Now
Pen Watt, of the New-State Tribune
unmindful of the fact that the Capita'
lies just 10 be lying. takes TIE stors
very much to heart. Here's letter
from him:
