the loan sharks Of the country have
been exacting is about 10 per cent
he said.
But how much the sharks have
made In some instances is almost be-
yond belief" he continued "The
books of one in Philadelphia showed
that he had s2,14O at work for seven
weeks, with return of $4,000. In
Sioux City was found the case of a
man who paid $40 interest on $50 for
twelve months, and did not have the
use Of all of the principal at any one
time. We found that in the end he
had paid about So per cent interest
on $35 for year.
The loan sharks cause as much
thieving, as many suicides, make as
many down-and-out men as any other
factor | could name. The poor mans
banks put these sharks out OF busi-
ness. / don't see how any public spir-
tied city can hesitate about starting
one Of these worthy institutions"

The appointment was made by Cover
nor Haskell who had defeated Cruce
for the nomination for governor In
1907. 1t was accepted, first because
Of Cruces loyalty to his party, and
second, because he felt that in the po-
sitlon he might be of service to the
educational department OF the state
government. After his defeat he 10y
ally supported the nominee. And when
he entered the campaign this year one
OF his first utterances was an appro-
val OF the democratic administration.
This again was the foundation for an
attack upon him. The far-reaching
progressive ideas of the constitution
and the laws built upon 1t, all framed
by democrats, met his unqualified ap-
proval. and he would have gone far
OF the mark in the course laid out
for the progressive statesman OF this
age, had he condemned the admins
tration and the advanced laws upon
which It was operating.
That he will not be servant of any
man or set of men was made plain In
his opening address at Fairview when
he declared that when he was COVER
nor HE would be governor, that he
would enter the position without hav-
ing made n single nrOmise to any
man. When he is governor, he will
have full power of selecting good men
for positions of honor and trust and
no man will dictate to him. He will
place clean, active energetic men in
those positions to the end that the
best service may be rendered the rep
utation of the administration sustain

IN CHARITY
POOR MEMS BANKS HAVE
PROVED THEMSELVES TO BE
PAYING INVESTMENTS.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 23.-Charity
which pays per cent on the invest
ment at the same time that it de.
stroys the business Of loan sharks and
lessons suicide and petty theiving was
being discussed in the office Of Jutin
A. Runyan Of the commercial club this
morning. Arthur II. Ham Of New
York, who Is in charge of the Russell
| Sage bureau for the study OF remedial
loans, was explaining the work of a
bank for the poor At meeting to be
| held in the rooms of the commercial
club tonight he will discuss the posi-
bility of founding such a bank In Kan
sas City. All that is required, he
says, Is a good man to take charge
and fund which could be collected
in few days.
There is nothing experimental about
the bank for poor men," he told Mr..
Runyan. Last year the remedial loan
association that already are in ope-
ration lent IA IL million dollars. Six
per cent has been the average return
on the money, and the loss from dis
honesty was less than half OF one per
cent"
Mr.. Runyan assured him that the
least of the trouble would be to get
the money in Kansas City.
"In ten years We have subscribed n
million and a half dollars for charities
and public enterprises, such as Con-
vention Hall" he said. For such an
institution as a bank for the poor,
which in addition 10 the good work It
does, pays as we'll as the interest from
money put In a savings bank-why,
nothing could be simpler"
Mr.. Ham didn't require more proof.
He went on to tell of what has been
lone in other cities. The average rate

REPUBLICANS FLOCK

THOUSANDS HEAR THE ARDMORE
MAN AT ALVA-FACTS INTRO.
OCCEO MAKE CONVERTS.

Alva, Okla, Oct. pa magnificent
audience met Lee Cruce this after
noon at the Grand opera house. The
auditorium and gallery seat $500 peo-
pie and every seat was filled. The
Rock Island arrived from Cherokee
at 2 O'Clock an the next governor
was met by the band, 500 students
OF the Northwestern normal and
many prominent citizens. Mr. Cruce
was conveyed to the opera house
where people from all over Woods
county were present to hear him.
The meeting was called to order
by John T. Kavanaugh, president OF
the Cruce club, who introduced Pres
itent Grumbine of the Northwestern
normal and requested the latter to
make the Introduction. President
Grumbine in a fine ten-minute speech
introduced Mr. Cruce and for near
ly two hours the latter delivered one
of the strongest addresses that has
ever been heard in this part Of the
country.
He told his hearers that there was
a wide difference between Joe Nc
Neal and himself. That Mr.. McINeal
stood for everything that the stand
pat crowd Of the east were now
making a fight for That while every
state from Maine to California, and
especially those which were in close
proximity to the new state of Ok
lahoma were cutting away from hide
bound, stand-pat doctrine of the cd
Of the republican party
and that the people of this state an
especially the republicans were be-
ing disgraced by having 1t go out
throughout the world that the only
republican organization in the south
west was still adhering to the Can
crowd.
He called attention to the fact that |
Joe McNeal was on every bond filed |
by the railroads of this state and |
inquired how this man McNeal could |
enforce the law and ask that the |
courts enforce the constitutional pro |
visions, should he be elected gov
arnor, when 1t might mean that he
shold be obligated to pay huge sums
1f money, the condition named in
MS bond.
At several times Mr.. Cruce raised
he large crowd to its feet, and when
ne speech was over many republi-
ans came to the stage and CAV
lin assurance Of support.
