state Board Of public Affairs.

tNpW Sldte lTtuuueJ
Last Tuesday the Guthrie state
Capital made the following state
ment: "The state board Of public al
fairs is the one state board that has
saved the taxpayers OF the state thou
sands of dollars" Reader, can you
imagine that new light from Heaven
has shown in upon the State Capital,
and warned him that his infamous
falsehood of days gone by must in the
great hereafter be accounted for or
explained?
is ii possible that he has reallz-
cd at last that there amt three pco-
pie in the state of Oklahoma, Demo
crat, Republican. Socialist, Poplrlst,
or any other party, that would believe
his newspaper under oath?
OF course that is the fact, but what
OF earth has happened to reform this
ci ooked journalist Of so many years
infamous falsifying?
Yes, the statement above quoted Is
the absolute truth Our readers VIII
remember almost one year ago the
governor of Oklahoma recommends
that all the expenditures of money
excepting only officers salaries
should be placed under the control O.

governor asked the legislature to ere

oil public affairs. to accept the highly
honorable position Of Judge, and the
Guthrie state Capital realizing that
Il cannot prove any Of its numerous
lies about this board, is forced for
once 10 tell the tluth.
Read it again. You viii find just
exactly what the governor OF Okla
homa told the people this board could
do and would do
~The state board Of, PUBLIC affairs
is the one state .boa1 ARat has saw
ed and is saving .tke taxpayers OF
the state thousands of dollars.
That is what the Capital says now.
Now reader, look at the still per-
slstent, Infamous lying OF the Guthrie
State Capital about the extravaganza
CT the state administration. II the
board of public affairs is making such
an economic and honorable record,
how can the state administration be
textvavagant, as this. beard handles all
the public money! except the fixed
salaries of officers and the board OF
kagriculture. and every other dollar
that is spent to buy any kind Of ma
ierial or build any building for the
/ state of Oklahoma, is handled by the
state board Of public affairs.
Z OF course the Guthrie State Cap
li:al knows it lies every time II calls
! the state administration extrawagant,
aud it is possible that some day the
! Guthrie State Capital will make an
honest confession just as it has fin
4 ally completely changed itsHs tune
about the board of public affairs.
But long after heainherent rotten
ness of the Guthrie State Capital has
caused its decay and destruction. the
! members of the first state board OF
!. public affairs of Oklahoma will be
respected by all the people Of our
state for tue excellent service thew
have performed in organizing and
starting the work of this board.
Again, how absurd stheir criticisms
Of the governor. They now say that
he recommended a good law, when
he asked the legislature to create the
Y board OF public affairs. He appoint
cd honest, capable men when .he ap'
pointed the members OF this board,

lars Is saved 10 Inc taxpayers VI Oh'
lahona. ~.
And yet the governor Is. a fool-she
e. wrong-he Is a CRATER.
Say, editor of the State Capital,
do you want us to print some mole
photographs OF your attempts to ron
the taxpayers of Oklahoma2 We can
do it in very short ordels We have
already convinced ninety-nine per
cent of the people of this state that
you need watching every time the pub

know what they are, and yot know
we have got them. and except for the
