AN APPEAL TO
OKLAHOMA DEMOCRACY


The Leader appeals to the Demos
racy of the state and especially the
Southwest in behalf of the romoVai
Of the capital to Guthrie.
The Leader has fought the iight
for Democracy for many years ana
has kept the faith
Far be it from The Leader TO de-
ceiye the militant Democrats OF TINS
state. and when The Leader accentu-
ates the fact that Oklah ma Clty
seeks to prejudice the Democracy G.
the state in behalf Of capital reten-
tion. IL does not deceive. For three
months the Oklahoman, has shouted
the miserable fabrication that "Guth-
rie is negro-ridden' and that Ok
lahoma City has made good Both
of these statements are wholly un-
true. Guthrie is not negro-ridden
1t is clean, law-abding white town
True. % years ago 1t was the rem
devious of the earpet-bagger, but con-
ditlons have changed, Guthrie lacks
today but 175 votes of being Demo
cratic while Logan county of which
Guthrie is the county seat, has re-
turned a Democratic majority twice
and has entertained two county Dem
ocratic administrations SO much for
Guthrie. How and why the capital
Was moved from Guthrie is we'll
known to the electorate of the state.
Noy turn to Oklahoma City. Note
pledges given and promises made
=. 1910. oklahoma City has signally
solled in fulfilling a single promise
and now attempts to bunco the people
second time with new set OF
promises. In all the capital literature
sent out by Oklahoma City not one
word has been uttered relative to the
1910 promises. Not a syllable has
reen spoken in defense. All is prom
lsc. Meanwhile the state is paying
S-3 900 a year for free capital rent
ais. This money comes out of the
taxpayers pockets. Is this right? Is
it just? In appealing to the Democ-
racv Of oklahoma The Leader does
SO on lines OF economy. A Demo
cratic state administration is in con
troll. Criticism is quickened by ex-
penses incurred in handling the
states business. The state admins
ration is forced to carry the respon.
sibility? Would it not be the better
part Of reason and good sense 10
throw off the burden Of some Of this
expense by a direct vote. This can
be done Nov 5-$53,OO0 year for
capital rentals can be cut off at one
swoop ana the Democracy of the
state benefited by a vote to remove
the capital to Guthrie which offers
capital facilities free of all cost. The
Leader appeals to state Democrats
on this issue. Why continue useless
expenditure of public money? Why
run the chance of another game of
grab at the coming legislative ses
sion? If the no vote prevails, t
will be too late to recant The leg
slatiye gut can be forced and the
taxpayers pay the freight
Jaundiced prejudice against Guth-
rie because at one time it was largely
Republican, should not prevail. With
tie invasion OF Democratic officials
it can be made Democratic. VIII the
Democrats of the state give kindly
heed in the interest Of party sue
cess, party economy justice and
right?

Oklahoma City Is fighting for what
she never wanted Bnt ! am at the
head Of the committee and my pro
gram is to keep spreading the story
that Guthrie is Little Africa l
know the title fits oklahoma City
better than IL does Guthrie, but the
story is widespread that negroes hold
office and go into society in Guthrie
ana its the kind Of dope TO use to
prejudice southern Democrats. This is
not a partisan question. but ! want
to win this campaign with Democratic
votes
Taxpayer; Mr. Alexander, You
make grieyous mistake in working
on racial feeling. The voters know
that the Guthrie negre story is a
blooming fake; they know that Of the
entire population of Guthrie there are
less than 215 negro voters. It's not
negro voters, but taxes nov and r.
come if the Oklahoma City capital
deal is put through, that worries
them.
Alexander. But Oklahoma City eX-
poets to erect capitol building
Taxpayer: When?
Alexander: OF course, we must
have help.
Taxpayer: Yes, and YOU expect to
get it from the legislature?
Alexander Wen, yes
Taxpayer: Is this fair 10 the state?
Alexander: Wen, it's the states
building isn't it, or will be?
Taxpayer: Who is putting up the
money for Oklahoma city's capital
campaign?
Alexander: The landlords.
Taxpayer; What landlords?
Alexander: Why, the men who
own the biz office buildings where
the capital offices are now quartered.
Taxpayer: Why should they be so
interested?
Alexander: They want the coin.
Taxpayer; How will they get the
coin?
Alexander Through rentals.
Taxpayer: What kind of rentals?
Alexander: Rentals for state off
ices, Of course.
Taxpayer But Oklahoma City says
If the capital is voted to it, there
viii be no need for further rentals
because they will at once build the
state house. That's what Oklaho-
ma city says-and Oklahoma City
said the same thing in 1910.
Alexander: That's true.
Taxpayer: But how are the land
lords to be benefited?
Alexander: They expect to rent
their buildings to the state for -
wears at least; they are confident a
state building will not be erected be
fore that time
Taxpayer: Then Oklahoma City
does not expect to keep faith with
the people
Alexander; Not exactly It's the
1910 film flam.
Taxpayer: Is it to be understood

ale with Oklahoma City is that she

AT FUNERAL OF BOY
HORSE KILLS HIS DRIVER

Dayton, Wash.-Four serious acci-
dents from frightened horses have oc-
CURED here within less than two
months: three of them have brought
death to the victims, the last one just
occurring, when Patrick Donohue died
in less than "a hours after being kick
ed on the head. His horse became
frightened at a passing funeral pro-
cession. Sadly coincident with the ac-
cident is the fact that the funeral pro-
cession was that of Dennis Rose. a
young man who himself was the victim
OF a frightened plow team a few weeks
before.
Mr.. Donohue was one of the men,
bers of the Dayton Dray company and
had been in business in this city for
many years.

its inch long teeth in his neck. Back

reaching the door.
A long mace in the hands of Head

way to the bars. knocked the monkey
unconscious and Glass was dragged
from the cage. His chance to recover
