took took in the situation and set
the school to singing Jolly Students"
and such other lively songs as would
drown the sound of the elements

singing that the pupils showed, too.

SKETCH OF JUDSON HARMON.
William j. Bryan's ability to come
back" as shown by his domination
of affairs in the demo oeratic party so
soon after the opening of the new con
gress, brings into the im-hBAl
more imposing than ever, the figure
of Judson Harmon, governor OF ohio.
He has been selected by the demo
Gratis who oppose Bryan dictatOn as
the man best fitted to oppose Bry-
ans plans and thwart his influence
If there is on democrat in the
country today who deserves a rep
utation for independence Of thought
and action and whose name is fore.
most in the councils of the great
OF his party, it is Judson Harmon.
Governor Harmon has been more
than once proposed as a candidate 30

to victory and the white house. Be
fore all other things he is a law
yer, in fact one of the leading law
yers OF Cincinnati. Naturally as
governor his practice has had to
go by the board, but at heart he is
the brilliant attorney just the same.
In Cueveland's administration he was
the United States attorney general.
He is Go years old, a graduate of
DenisOn University and the Cincin-
natl Law School. He has been pres
ident OF the Ohio Bar Association
and member OF the faculty Of the
law department Of the University OF
Cincinnati. all OF which tells very
little ebout the personality OF Gov
ernor Judson Harmon. He Is quaint
He is straight from the shoulder. He
is as independent as a Cape Cod
SEA captain. He Is simple and direct
and cuts ont all frils He IS a curl
ols mixture between the serious and
III humorous temperament He IS
about 8 feet inches nigh. but looks
little larger because Of MS stocky
body. His head is large and his
face round His ewes have a twinkle
when ne talks.

lures and the sinking fund will go
into the maintenance fund and the
tax payers will, as long as they
live, and as long as their children
live, have that same burden to bear.
NOW which plan are you going to
choose?
In the name of the boasted prog
ress of Oklahoma are our people go
ing to allow their prejudice against
railways to lead them to vote to
retain this section III the consttu-
tion that has already cost the tax
payers 100000 in cash and has kept
many millions Of money out of the
state?
/ You may have read long printed
| arguments on the question in which
the writer contends that Sections 23
/ and &c will lie eliminated by elm
mating Section Q, puI the voters
/ OF Oklahoma can read for them
selves and maks up their minds as
to their pain duty. Here is that
amendment as it was offered to us
by our own house of representatives
and our own senate and was signed
by our own governor:
Section 2. Any foreign Or domes,
tic railroad, transportation or trans
mission company may lease, sell or
otherwise dispose of its property
and franchise. or lease, buy or 9TH
erwise acquire and operate the prop
erty and franchise of any like com
pany wholly within or operating out
of the state. and may exercise the
right and power of eminent domain
under the laws of this state, or as
may herater be provided by law;
provided, that the provisions of this
section shall not be construed to af-
feet the power of the corporation
commission TO regulate and control
the business of all corporations in
this state, or to affect the provisions
of Section sc of Article Q, or of Ar
ticle twenty-three of the constitution
of this state"
Do you see anything so dangerous
in that proposed section? Do you
believe the legislature would have
/ passed it almost unanimously if it
/ had been so poisonous as others
I have tried to lead us to believe? Do
| you believe Lee Cruce would have
signed that amendment if it had pos
sessed the venom its opponents say it
possesses? Do you believe that the
members of the state corporation
commission would have stood by
in that legislative hall when the
bill passed and not raised their
voices against it II that amendment
| would destroy their power?
