trifle groggy, and hurry up calls

The people Of the state, mindful
of the fact they have many things

breastworks at Graftsville, and found
behind the wooden guns but a few

malta.
Another glaring attempt at false
hood in the Alexander propaganda Is
his mention Of the Democratic press
being for oklahoma City's capital re-
moyal scheme. What are the papers:
where printed. and who behind the
guns?
There Is not a Democratic daily
newspaper in the state, outside OF
Oklahoma City, save one, and that
one with an editor VINO owns town
lots in Oklahoma City, supporting the
removal proposition.
There is not a weekly newspaper OF
Democratic persuasion on the Indian
Territory side of the state with q
G00 circulation supporting the state
capital removal scheme.
There is not n weekly newspaper OF
the Democratic faith in Old Oklahoma
pronouneedly supporting the removal
scheme.
Alexander knows these to be facts.
He knew that it had been felt nee.

Oklahoma City, dating them as be-
ing printed elsewhere that would sup
port the effort to spend Si,0OO,0O0 OF

Further evidence OF the tactless

Each lives lar from the other; each
factor and each ecognized Demo
cratic leader in his community.
There are but two daily newspap-
ers outside OF Oklahoma City support
ing that removal proposition-some Of
The weeklies which aid Il are simply
supporting Oklahoma City without
having read the proposed measure.
Few outside the metropolis will de-
iend the proposition-even many OF
the warmest advocates OF Oklahoma
City being outspoken against the bill.
There are many upright men who fay-
or Oklahoma City, but who refuse TO
subscribe their approval to a measure
which was drawn for graft and TO en-
hance valueless property through the
credit of the state.
Mr.. Alexander has a right to send
letters to all the citizens Of the state

the interests of the proposed remov'

Democratic friends to vote TO violate
a compact with the government Of the
United States.
What standard would that be? How
high is the voter who breaks con-
tract with the government which pfo-

Mr. Alexander handles wisdom with

W. L. Alexander is a sort of zeal

he sent out a letter TO Democrats OF
he state, declaring that unless Okla

Gratis are responsible for the present
state capital removal bill.
The Alexander plea is easily un-
derstood. Ii is about his size and his

How politics figure in the deal is
hard to understandable state capital
removal proposition is too rotten for
any party to indorse: too bad for
even Alexander TO claim parental af-

Republican. Same as to Shawnee

Just now the townlot grafters are

That is silly manner to try and

location at this time. Guthrie asks
that the bill as drawn ana now be-
fore the people be defeated--it de-
clares 1t is wrong in purpose and
would create fraud and litigation
once enacted.
Statements that somewhere and
sometime someone said something
about the Indian Territory are not
going to enable that townlot outfit
