Mr.. Tate Brady
Tulsa, Okla.
In response to your further evasion
of my demand for a direct primary TO
settle our claims, | charge again pos
itiyely that you did state to me that
YOU would not be a candidate for Ma
tional Democratic Committeeman, and
didate for the position, and pledged
me your support. | call as witness to
the fact that you did say that you
would not be a candidate your friends,
John o. Mitchell, presiding officer of
your Jackson Day banquet, December
3Oth, 1911, IN Tulsa, William Stryker,
editor of the Tulsa Democrat; James
y. Brand, 5. r. Lewis, state commit
teeman from Tulsa county and your
supporter in every political battle of
the past: and Hon Fred p. Branson
chairman of the state Democratic Cen
tral Committee. Now, Tate, you don't
dare say that John O. Mitchell, VIM.
Stryker, James Y. Brand, S. K. Lewis,
and Fred p. Branson are telling lie
about this matter. You are in bad and
YOU can't get out by calling me names.
As to the call of the county commit
tee meeting, the call was signed by
Secretary NJ. f. Cline and seventeen
tO members of the committee. You
say Yourself that you carried every
vote at this meeting. How silly, then
YOUR charse of unfairness against >.
r. Lewis, who called the meeting to
order in absence of the chairman,
and at once rellquished the chair
manship upon the selection Of one
of vour hackers. At that committee
meeting | openly charged that you hai
pledged me your support and your
promise not to be a candidate and
YOU didn't dare deny it, in the presence
of democrats who understood ;his
whole matter.
As to your charge about my vote in
the city election three years ago, ] do
admit voting for John O. Mitchell fo~
mayor and | assert my vote was dem.
ocratic. Mr. Mitchell has previously
been the democratic mayor of Tulsa.
He was in the election three years aSO
triumphantly elected. He was Cover
nor Haskell's appointee as delegate to
the good roads convention dGrinS his
term as mayor and Saturday night,
December 3. 1911, at your hotel, the
Brady. this same John o. Mitchell,
was by your appointment and choice,
the presiding officer and introduced
Ex-Governor G. y. Haskell an the eth
er Jackson Day speakers Nov, Tate,
do YOU mean to say that you selected
as presiding officer for that banquet
a man whose democracy was not
above suspicion.
Now Tate, all Of your charges are
made for the purpose of eyading my
demand for a Urinary. You have he
come so frantic in your effort to mis-
represent that YOU have questioned
the integrity OF Secretary John d.
Porter and Chairman J. VI. Crutch-
field of the Tulsa county election
board | am willing to leave the ques-
ton OF their honesty to anyone who
knows them. | have no personal ac
Quaintance with Mr. Crutchfeld. but
know his reputation in Broken Arrow
where he resided until this year, and
the citizens of that town will vouch |
for his honesty. Mr.. Porter was chair /
