Has Failed to Agree For an
Honest Election.

Although two weeks have elapsed
since Joseph w. McNeal, the Republi-
can nominee for governor, addressed
a public letter to Lee Cruce, of Ard
more, who is Governor Haskell's Cub
ernatorial candidate, asking him to
agree to an arrangement for a fair
election and an honest count on Nov
ember &, Mr.. Cruce has not yet signi-
fled his willingness to have an honest
election. 1t was suggested in this
public letter to Governor Haskelps
candidate that each party on the bal
lot-Republican Democrat, Socialist
and Prohibitionist-be given watcher
in each precinct on election day, guar
anteeing a fair election, and that du-
plicate tally sheets be kept of the votes
as cast for each candidate, this guar
anteeing an honest count. Mr.. McNeal
also suggested that Fred Branson, of
Muskogee, should not he permitted o
hold both positions-ch chairman of the
Democratic state central committee
and chairman of the State election
board-and said that such combina-
tion could not be in the interest of II
fair election. Thus far Mr.. Cruce has
not been told by Governor Haskell
what answer to make, and Mr.. Branson
still holds both chairmanships.

Ferguson Says: push Fight
Into Enemy's Camp"

Watonga, Okla, August 18.-J. W.

Oklahoma. Every Republican should
get behind him and help redeem the
state from the vandals who have desc
Grated her interests and brought re-
proach upon her name all over the
land" says Tom Ferguson, editorially,
in his Watonga Republican, He was
a candidate against McNeal for the
nomination. He continues: "Mr.
McNeal stands pledged to give the
state a business administration and to
take steps to remove the unjust bur-
den Of taxation resting upon the peo-
pie. This is the time of all times for Il
united party. No time for pickering
or lamenting over the past. The sue
cess of Republicanism in Oklahoma is
paramount to the interests of any in
dividual. The primary is over. The
party has announced its decision on all
candidates, Now then, let there be n
general rally all along the line of stall
wart republicans who will get behind
the ticket with but one idea, and that
to drive back the Bourbous who have
control of the state and are running it
in the interest of political machine
and not in the interest of the citizens
Of the state. The writer has been in
all parts of the state and knows that
there is splendid chance to win. 1t
is up to the Republicans to become ag-
gressive and push the fight into the
camp of the enemy"
