the arguments in favor of the move

it has been hinted, however, by one

God given but of Heavenly origin and
although a perusal of the good book
does not reveal instantly these edicts,
women are being persuaded that it is
their duty to leave home husband and

of old unto our Sayiour's teachings,
but to the bull moose party as the
present help, strength and shield of
their lives.
One needs only to visit some of the
homes of the women of Vinita to
rather disregard these teachings en-

beauty OF the well kept house, and in
all her queenly glory crowned with a
quiet dignity that lends charm and

Politics at Willow Branch.

Editor Chieftain, Dear Sir: On the
18th evening, the voters of this vicin-
ity were treated with set of speeches
by the republican candidates for the
offices of sheriff, treasurer, judge, rep
resentative, yes, and constable, led on
and highly recommended by U. S. Com
missioner Brown of Vinita. Mr.. Brown
in opening his address emphatically
impressed on the minds of the audi
ence that he was bitterly opposed to
the attacking of any mans personal
character in political arguments and
if he had TO show up deficiencies he
alleged it more to the party than to
the individual. Now in my humble
opinion Mr. Brown in that respect is
away ahead of the national leaders of
both wings of his party, while there
were q great many misleading insinu-
ations in the various speeches made,
they were in the main clean. High
taxes and unnecessary deputy officers
being mostly their subject matter. AS
usual they made a strong plea for in
dependent democrats to sote for the
man regardless of party and it would
have been easy for man, however
strange to our system to detect that
they were a very hopeless minority
from their own speeches.
Monday night the rooster was crow
ing in the Willow Branch school house.
The following speakers coming close
on the heels of the republicans seemed
to wipe out all the arguments of Mr..
Brown and Newman and Butler as ef-
fective as if they had been chalk fig
ures on the black board. Hon. Pete
Coyne, Mr.. Hobby. Mr. Kinnison and
Mr.. Smart seemed to be in good trim
to answer any and all of the argu-
ments put to them by the insinuations
of the republicans. Their arguments
showed confidence, that they were able
and willing at all times to meet and
discuss and to uphold the work of the
democratic party in Oklahoma against
all republicans They claim that no
state has been hampered by federal
law suits in its infancy as ours and
the constitution that Teddy reviled
and Taft came here to kill has be-
come the patron from which other
older states are remodeling and amend
inf theirs In all, these men left a
good impression here.

Woodrow Wilson is one of them. His
short administration as governor of
the state of New Jersey has been
marked by the passage of acts, through
his influence. which have won him the
enthusiastic gratitude and support of
the intelligent. independent Iaboring
men of that State. The hours of labor
for women have been reduced; stricter
factory inspection introduced, both in
law and in fact; an employers liability
law passed. as well as many meas
ures for the regulation of corporations
and the publication of elections. And
woodrow Wilson hasn't been afraid TO
speak out against the greatest graft of
all; the graft of the protective tariff,
which enables the manufacturers to

HIS OWN PARTY.

|, for my part, want to express this
hope: If the democratic party breaks
its promises to the rank and file of the
people, of this country | hope it will
never be trusted again, because parties
are not intended merely to put men in
office; parties are not intended merely
to keep their own organizations and
maintain their own supremacy. Par
ties are meant to do the service which
they pretend to do when they put for
ward their platforms. Their platforms
ought to be sacred engagements.-Ar-
mour Packing Plant, Omaha Oct 5.

You can stay in the majority without
knowing why-just by the common in
stinct of the crowd. Not because they
didn't have anything to sell, but be-
cause they had what they would not
sell, democrats have remained in the
minority.
And now, when the year has come in
which the whole country turns to them
and says, why, after all, it may be
that you are right" they stand up and
say: "Yes, we were right. Now will
you set your government free, or won't
you? viii you trust it to men who are
willing to stay out in the cold rather
than get warm on terms they won't
pay for?"
Here is a free party which can set
up a free government. | can say, with
out even a touch of personal reference,
almost, that the democratic party at
least has a candidate who, by circum-
stances or whatever way you may wish
to explain it, is not attached to any
interest whatever And is not the
democratic party the very party which
is old fashioned enough to believe that
the processes of liberty have not been
reversed; that liberty is not to be got
from the government, but that liberty
is to be got from the self assertion of
the people?
Accept my conclusions or reject
them, but make this comparison of the
parties for yourselves and make a
choice on this basis: Shall we-can
we-set our government free? Can
we get a government that will serve
civilization and humanity York
