How Thieves at
Blowtown Ply Their Trade

The Oklahoma city Capital com.
mltiee now issues daily whine
about conducting clean campaign
and say they have been misrepresent-
ed and that they are AFRAID that
Guthrie is going to do something very
very bad
They are, indeed. nice bunch to
talk about clean campaign.
They are practically the same com
mittee who conducted the campaign
two years ago promising the people
the capital would not be moved until
1913 when they had all plans laid to
move il at once; the same gang that
stuffed the ballot boxes with over
5000 fraudulent votes at that elec.
ton; the ones who promised the
people of the state a million dollar
capitol building, free rentals and re.
moval expenses and deliberately and
Intentionally broke every Mromise
Aud now they talk about "a clean
campaign"
When Guthrie filed her petition
they stated that the sipuers were
largely from negro communities and
that Logan county had more signers
than voters when the fact was that
Logan county had 4.70l siguers and
had cast over 5,e00 votes at the las
election and there were less than
500 negro xigners among the $1,000
on the petition

think of it, fellow citizens?
And this from the town that for

medium OF their misrepresenting pa

more negroes on TWO streets than
Guthrie ever had, or ever win have

stranger in Oklahoma City, who, m-
consciously wanders into one of the
numerous negro streets, notably the
one running directly west from the

they state that the go acres Of iand
which they are now seeking to sub
stitute in lieu of all their other con
tracts and agreements made with the
state is the same lana which the
legislature entered into contract
fog This is absolutely false as much

TISSUE OF
BLACK LIES.

Tho official argument filed by
Oklahoma City in the capital location
matter and the advertising being put
out by chat city, has been proven TO
be so ylllainous a tissue OF lies that
the people OF the state are fast be-
coming disgusted. and no longer
place any cedence ia any of their
statements.
Not content with breaking every
promise made to The State, and lying

TO the former election, they are fol-
lowing the same course in the pres

the landlords, after which a contract
for building may be let.
The scheme is a good one ana
meets with the appreciation of Alex
ander, who is working the capital
deal on the Democratic side; Wykoff,
who is hammering on the Republi-
can side and Lawyer Harrison, who
is taking care OF the negro end.
All that interferes with this beau.
tiful arrangement now IS the election
NOV. 5. 1t is conceded by even the
oklahoma City committee that the
voters of Oklahoma may knock the
program into a cooked hat" but
unless the vote for Guthrie is very
large lines are laid for a big steal
of the ballot. The Oklahoma City
capital fanatics are determined. They
have in their employ now men who
win not hesitate 10 commit arson or
murder to gain their ends The
situation is one that the voters Of
oklahoma must deal with with wis
dom. And the only way to Illustrate
the attempts Of this malta, which is
every bit as rotten as the New York
police conspiracy, is to deal it
crushing and Overwhelming blow at
the polls
Unless the people vote for the free
capital at Guthrie as against the
outrageous and Fraudulent conspiracy
obtaining here, The state may as Well
prepare for a theft OF ballots, with

ALL LAND SOUTH OF

At another place in their argument
they say that an Of these lands @lie
south Of Twenty third street. OF
within the city limits
which is another absolutely false
statement. Less than one-lourth Of
The lands lie south Of Twentythird
street as is proven by an examina
tion Of the map, or by the statement
in one of their own recent adyer
tisements in which they say that 151
acres lie south of Twenty-thrd street

HAVE NOT PUT UP A DOLLAR.

They also state that they nave PM
up 100000 in cash in the hands OF
the governor to cover their bond
given in their previous contract, and
which the attorney general says was
long ago forfeited This is absolute.
" false. They have neither put up

with the governor. They have G5e
acres Of land and 100000 cash in the
hands Of lee Cruce as a private cti
zen, acting as their private trustee
snbject TO their order and of being
withdrawn by them at any time
LAND NOT APPRAISED BY STATE
AT another place in the argumen
they say that the land which the,
now offer was appraised under direc
zion Of the legislature which they
know TO be absolutely false as is
also their recent statement that il
was appraised BY John r. Williams o.
the School Land Department.
