Fred Branson's Platform.

To the Democrats of Oklahoma:
| served you as member of your
First State Legislature, from Musko-
gee county, 1907 and 1908;
served you as chairman of your
state democratic committee from 1910
to 1912. At the inception of this last
service initiated and campaigned to
adoption the Grandfather Clause, by
working night and day, within a time
so limited for its accomplishment
that many of the democrats of the
state despaired of the success of the
undertaking.
In both of these capacities my rec
ord is matter of public information
to the democracy of Oklahoma My
services are entitled to your investiga-
tion before casting your ballot, and if
| have made them true to your inter-
est and to the people of the state
which | have tried to do, | am entitled
to- your favorable consideration, If
/ the democrats of the state want the
same vigorous work in effecting the
demands of Oklahoma before the ma
tional congress, | pledge you, as a
citizen of Oklahoma, the same char
acter of service that | rendered you
as member of your legislature and
as chairman of your state democratic
committee.

dian estates and an immediate deliv-
cry of the money and property to the
individual Indians of Oklahoma, which
belong to them, that they may stand
on the same footing as any other per-
scrs in the state;
| shall demand that the Indians be
paid for their lands allotted to freed
men, which l did by resolution in the
! first legislature;
| shall demand that there be no in
timidation of election officers in the
strict enforcement of all the laws of
this state, and that the Grandfather
Clause be enforced in every commun-
ity, by aid of an amendment to the
federal statute if necessary;
| shall demand an amendment to
the patent laws, to prevent their be-.

olies, which they have done for years;
] shall demand that the resoa rces
OF this country be turned to internal
Improvements, such as building oul
highways making nayigable our
streams. encouraging agriculture by
experimental farms and irrigation,
and conserving our natural resources;
and that the democratic principles Of
ecopomy be placed in actual practice
in all branches of the government.
These. with the support of the pro-
longed efforts and policies of the dem
ocratic party for popular control of
governmental powers, guarded against
abuse; recognition of labor by fair
and wholesome laws; the destruction
of the policy of Imperialism, shall be
given my continued atteatiou, with

Grace Pfeffer, seventeen years old
was perhaps fatally injured in the fac
tory of the American Flag Manufac-

her hair caught in a machine that she
was operating and was torn from her
head, together with a portion of the

She was bending over to pick up
an article that had fallen under the
machine, and her hair caught in a
shaft. 1t drew her toward the machine
and in an instant stripped a portion o.

When after twenty-four hours of iso

found that the entire village had beel
wrecked by tornado which, accom-
panied by heavy rain and a severe
electrical storm, swept over that sec.

Not a house, barn or stable is left
intact in Jacksonville, and 1000 inhab.

district from neighboring towns.
Members Of the Unity Presbyterian
church had remarkable escapes from
death when the tornado tore the roof
from tie building. Many of the con
gregation suffered slight injuries.
So far it is impossible to make an
accurate estimate of the loss in the
tornado district. Figures received
show that at least 100000 worth Of
property was destroyed This is ex

orchards swept away and summer
crops simply wiped out of existence.
The storm was the worst which has
ever visited Washington and Greene

Taft Vetoes Bill That Gusts Gen. Wood

Taft Vetoes Bill That Gusts Gen. Wooc
The president vetoed the army ap
preparation bill. He returned the bill
to congress with a message indicating
his disapproval of the legislation that
would oust Major General Wood from
the Office of chief of staff on March 4
next.
In his message the president said:
"The army Of the United States Is
far too vital an institution to the peo
pie Of this country to be made the
victim of hasty or imperfect theories
Of legislation. AS was pointed out by
the chairman of the senate military
committee, it is well known that the

been for many months engaged upon

liberation and care. I cannot consci- |

in shaping such laws with which I !
am vested under the constitution.
therefore return to your honorable |
body without my approval the said

The president did not veto the bill
because of any fault in its appropria-
tions, but because of Legislation which
congress had added. He declared the
practice Of attaching legislation to an
appropriation with the intent of de-
priving the president of his constitu

SAYS HE TOOK MONEY
TO CLEAR HIS BROTHER
tBy Associated Press.9

= PENSACOLA, Fla, Sept. 25.-WiI.
liam H. Bell, a twenty-year- bank
clerk, tonight confessed that he robbed
the local First National bank Wednes-
day of a package containing $4,000 Of
the Louisville and Nashville pay roll,
and substituted a bogus package in its
place.
Fear that the officers would suspect
his brother caused Bell to confess.
She young bank clerk has been in
the employ of the local bank for two
years. In his confession he declared
that he had planned to secure the
money week before the pay roll was
made up. Last Sunday he made bo-
gus package, similar in shape and size
to the payroll package of money, filled
with magazine slips.
On Tuesday afternoon when the
Louisville and Nashville pay roll was
being fixed for shipment he slipped the
package containing the $4,000 into his
locker and substituted the package Of
paper in it's place.

, in his uaiace. and his stricken con-
science made him think that this could
be nothing other than that John Bap-
fist had risen from the dead. The fact
that Herod could not be convinced that
this was not true reached the ears OF
Jesus, and made Him think 1t wise that
He and His disciples should withdraw
to the other shore of the sea Of Galilee
for a period of rest and retirement,
since that would be out of Herod's ter
ritory, and He could protect His friends
from possible harm in this way.
II was about the time of the pass
over in the early spring, and the great
crowds who were on their way to the
passover would not allow Him to get
out of their sight. Those who could
not cross by boat ran around the north
ern corner of the lake, and became re-
cipients OF many blessings at His
hands. 1t was on that evening that
He fed the 5000 men, besides the
women and children who were with
them. Their establishment was so
great that they tried to make Him
king by force-but to avoid the temp
tation which this gave Him to accom-
plish Gods work in another way he sent
His disciples away, and went upon the
mountain and spent the night in prayer.
Such were the events Of this period
of His life. He was spending Himself
without thought of Himself, in order
that He might bring others to the
knowledge of Gods will for them;
while they were hanging upon His
words and following in His footsteps
in order that they might get the tenn
poral blessings which He had to give.
1t must have been awfully discourag-
ing to Jesus when He realized the
fruitlessness of this work of His, so
far as the great majority was con-
cerned. But at the same time He was
probably sustained by the thought that
there were those who were learning the
will of God, and who would be the seed
that would grow and develop until He
should see of the travail of His soul
and be satisfied.
What was the difference between the
large majority and the small minority
here? Just this: few took the words
Of Jesus, trusted Him, obeyed Him, ana
found them to be spirit and life The
others did not, and they were a SAVIOR
Of death unto death to them. There
are many today who are hearing the
gospel, but it makes no impress upon
their lives. They are taking the tenn
pord blessings which come from 1t,
but are not letting it guide their lives
and teach them. But there are also
those who are yielding to Christ, who
are giving their loyalty to their Lord,
and who are finding in Him all that
they need. To which class do you be.

The lessons of the past quarter have
been dealing with the events in the life
of Christ from the second missionary
tour to the feeding of the 5000, which
Followed shortly after the close of the
third missionary journey. The feeding
OF the 5000 marked a crisis In His life.
Up to that time He had been Increasing
" popular, and from that time the OPP
position gained ground steadily.
1t might be interesting to get
bird's-eye view of some of these events
which constitute the record Of His life
during that period. Before His second
missionary journey so many people had
followed Him, that the scribes and
Pharisees felt that they must do some
thing to check the rising tide of favor
for Him. During His absence they did
what they could to turn the people
against Him, and upon His return to
Capernaum He found conditions differ
ent from what they were when He left
His healing of the dumb demoniac in
the synagogue caused reaction in His
favor. The miracle was so marked that
the scribes and Pharisees were obliged
to recognize the justice of it, but sought
to turn the tide against Him by saying
that He had performed 1T by being in
league with Beelzebub, the prince Of
devils. He refuted this insinuation and
attack, and made the people realize His
care for them by the many miracles
which He did. He was SO busy that
His friends thought Him crazy, and in
duced His mother and brethren to think
the same.
On account Of the work that the Phar-
isees had done, He began teaching in
parallels, and gave that afternoon on
the shore Of the sea Of Galilee that
group of parallels in the thirteenth
chapter of Matthew, which teaches the
influence of evil in the development of
the kingdom-the parable of the sower,
OF the tares, of the wheat, of the mus
tard seed, of the leaven, of the pearl of
great price, of the, hidden treasure, and
of the drag-net +.
Crossing the sea that afternoon a
storm came up which He Gained by His
word. Following that He healed the
demoniac of Gadara, and returned to
Capernaum. A short time after this He
commissioned the twelve disciples to
go out ahead of Him. and gave them
power over devils, commissioning them
to preach the gospel, heal the sick and
cast out devils. He Himself made an
other tour of the cities and villages OF
Galilee, returning about the last Of the
second year of HIS ministry.

beheaded John Baptist. The excitement
which was caused by the great work of
the apostles, reached the ears of Herod
