DEDUCTIONS FROM THE
COUNTY RESULT.
The Leader does we'll to say thal
the late county campaign was in no
sense a party victory. " y
Republican voters elected every
democrat who won.
Republicans did this because
.here was a negro on the republican,
ticket and the voters wanted 10
make a PROTEST sOLOUD that
no negro WOULD EVER AGAIN
be nominated OH a republican ticket
in Logan County.
By majority of I,Io3 the negro
has been set aside from office
holding in this county.
The republican party in this
county has tried to treat the negro
as a constitutional citizen, worthy
OF all the rights guaranteed by law
to any other citizen. The people
have now declared him entitled to
all these rights, except the right to
aspire to and hold an office. He
may be nominated, but the people
have said decisively that he cannot
be elected.
And this cannot be said to be the
result of any special prejudice
against the negro. There are few
southern people in this county.
Most of the people who gave this
decision against the negro holding
office came from Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Iowa, and northern states where
The negro has all his privileges and
is given the fairest opportunity
Then what caused 1t?
Business.
This city got many railroads. 1t
looked like il ought TO progress. 1t
was going forward much faster
than ever before, but the high ex-
pectations were not being realized.
The cry set up by rival towns of
Little Africa had It's effect. All
ills were blamed on the negro-not
on the number here, for Guthrie,
according TO the last territorial
census has 257 less negroes than
Oklahoma City and far hess than
the average southern town. Our
population of 27,727 has less than
.7H per cent Of negroes.
The people made up their minds
that in a county inviting cosmo-
poitan immigration-from north
and south and east and west-was
injured by having negroes in office.
SO they swatted this proposition
with a determination and vigor
leaving no doubt about public
opinion.
The negro had as well make up
his mind to never ask mother place
on republican ticket in Logan
County. He would be foolish to
ask nomination which had defeat
branded on it before the campaign
opened. We do not believe the
negro will ask for any more county
nominations.

(The original letters quoted above
can be seen any time at the Leader
offce)
The Leader In behalf OF the tax
payers In Logan county Is certainly
glad that the Guthrie Capital has
taken up the court house as an Issue.
OF course, In touching upon this sub
ject the Capital, as usual, deals IN
falsehoods and II Is for The purpose Of
exploding these very patent falsohoOds
that these letters are herewith given.
The contract for the court house was
let and the plans were made upon the
very basis as contained In the letters
above mentioned. The letters and
the court house speak for themselves.
No hardship was entailed upon the
taxpayers OF the county, which has
to day the most substantial court
building of any county IN the state,
paying therefor less money than any
other county Is not this proud
record for the Democratic board?
AS is stated In some Of the letters
above, particularly that OF Mr., Norris,
II was to be expected that the county
board should be condemned, but no
charge of extravaganza will stic, on
this court house matter. The Capital
Gays nothing whatever about the rev
enues saved to the county. Nor does
ii say one word as to the plight
Guthrie would have been in had not
the new court house been erected and
placed at the disposal OF the state
The possession OF this court house at
the dawn OF statehood saved the cari-
tai at that time to Guthrie, for no.
where then In this city was there
adequate room to house the state Of
ficials. Every step taken by the
Democratic county board in the
building of this court house was
square and above board. There Is not
one sane taxpayer in Logan county
who will kick at the investment made,
and II seems strange tnat III tnlS late
day, after modern edlfice, for court
purposes has been erected for the
county at cost 20 per cent lower than
that paid by any other county should
be used as an issue in the county cam
paign. In attacking the county board
on this court house proposition. the
Capital has as usual put its foot into
1t. The taxpayers know of the invest
ment they possess and they will not
be fooled by lies and clap-trap to
save from defeat an incompetent Re-
publican county board.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1910-11-01

Look at the Facts. .
The taxpayers OF the county, are,
think sufficiently interested at the
present time to seek light on the
court house deal" as the letting o.
the contract for the present county
building Is called by the Capital This
contract was let for $3.50. 100000 pay
able sl3.000o0 each year for tel
years, 100000 represented the cost oI
building and s3O,000.O0 the interest fol
the ten years, as the debt would be
paid in ten years the interest being
6 per cent for approximately half tha
time would amount to sS0,OOO.O0.
Swank Figured; Mcclure on Job.
At the time the contract was being
arranged Mr. Swank, the Republican
member of the board. figured on the
building and stated If he could make
any money he would resign from the
board and make bid for the contract
The least he could build 1t for was
$t39 100000 so he stated. and the State
Capital will not say tnat Mr.. Swank
is not good contractor and able to
figure. The files of the Capital speak
glowingly Of Swank.
+. II. Mcclure. at that time county
attorney. had complete charge of the
legal part of the contract No one
will accuse him of being either fool
or a criminal and the State Capital
knows he is a Republican.

LONDON, Nov 2s.-The British
houses of parliament were dissolved
today by King George.
The dissolution of parliament and
the calling of new general election
was forced by the liberals who are
now in power.
The liberals seek the abolition OF
the lords except as purely cons 1t

mass of legislation if successful.
King George said that England was
at peace with all the world.
ut is cause of special satisfac-
tion,'' he says that the fisheries case
has been decided and that the award
has caused increased good will on
both sides of the ocean.
From the fact that the present cab
met dissolved parliament instead OF
resigning, it looks as If King George
will abide by the decision. 1t Is as
sumed that Asquith promised to re

a general election. If the liberals
elect majority of their candidates il
will be proof that they want the lords
