GALL f0R UNITED EFFORT
Warner. Okla, MAY g. To Okla
homa Taxpayers, who believe that Our
interest viii b. best protected ~ DE,
feating the capital location BIN June
lli
A large maioiity Of the voters who
understand this bin viii join us in
defeating il.
Ninety eight per cent Of Oklahoma
voters today do not understand.
Taousands OF voters on June II
viii cast their votes Tor tins hll
without giving scri0na consideration
but accepting the statement that 1t Is q
contest between three towns
The promoters of this scheme have
thorough working organization,
amply supplied with funds Thy those
who reasonably expect thar their
bread" thus cast upon The water
will return to them an hundred lold9
10 underestimate the strength oi
the gum shoe campaign being made
III behalf Of this bill, viii be a fatal
mistake,
Organization almost invariably wins
over mob.
Organization costs money TO
meet defeat because Of diaorganiza-
tion viii cost us many times more
money.
This Is net a begging paper, This
letter Is sent out to notify the taN-
payers Of this state, who desire to aid
in defeating this bill by an open,
legitimate, systematic edncatlonai
campaign that we have d committee
selected who have agreed To see that
all sums contributed FOR that purpose
are properly used and accounted for
Every man who contributes to this
fund, and who furnishes his name and
address, will be furnished, at the
close OF the campaign with an item
lied account of the receipts and ex'
penditures.
This committee Is composed oil
men, to know any one oil whom, IS
sufficient to give confidence in the M
tegrity and ability of the committee.
Not member OF this committee
would accept a place thereon without
first knowing that the character oil
the men with whom he is to De aS'
sociated In this work Is above re-
proach.
Not a member of this committee
will accept penny OF remuneration
for his services thereon.
1t does take money to conduct an
educational campaign throughout the
state Of oklahoma.
Three thousand dollars Is consum'
ed In paying for enough one-eenl
stamps to mail circular letter to
each Oklahoma voter. Many other ex
penses Just as essential and Just a.
/ legitimate must be paid.
Can we afford this expense? Car
we afford not TO do It?
The $4,000 expense of the speclh
election has been forced upon W
without asking US whether we cal
afford It or not.
II this BAN carries, we must allorC
5000 600 to start this real estate com
pany in business whether or no.
We must afford to leave the STATE
treasury (which has a direct connec
ton with our pocketbooks) praetic
ally unlocked as against future raids
Beat It any way
That Is very doubtful.
TO defeat this bill in a close fight Il
not sufficient.
A precedent Is to be established i
this election.
Shall the result show that Okla
hona's voters are careless and indn
erent to a degree that VIII perml
almost anything TO be fulsled apo
MS al special electiong OF shall "
let the people know what 1t IS pre-
posed TO do to us on this busy Jun
day?
If that Is done, the crushing deica
that Is encountered ON June II wi
long be remembered by the s1ecnli
tive ana other Interests" In OH
homa
No one Is asked for such contr
button as will be burdenaome.
