(From Tulsa World, June 81
The Oklahoman, in lengthy edr
| ltorial OF June ,, bemeans the signi
fcant fact that there is likely to be
another election held in the state
capital matter, declaring, among
other things. that the people of the
state feel that Oklahoma City has
! been unduly dilatory in "lnauguratne
work on a state capitol building

Tulsa .because all three cities are
making strong bids for metropolitan

than The other two that Oklahoma
! City never did wish the capital until
| the good year of 1913. and that ii was
only the foolhardiness of an eX-goy'
ernor that threw the capital into its
midst when it wasn't ready for it;
THAT Guthrie. in seeking to restore
her lost capital, is looking solely to
| her selfish interest" and ends thusly;
In the event Guthrie manages to
obtain the required number of peti'

other election on the question, be

have cared, and are caring. when Ok

Starting work doesn't mean anything,

Office, Oklahoma City, Okla.
Dear Sir: There seems to be ctn
siderable discussion among our citi.

ports to offer to the state for capital
purposes, and ! notice in the Okla
homan of last Sunday a statement TO
the effect that YOU and members OF
your department appraised this land
at ST 100000 but that other papers
have since denied this fact.

the readers OF my paper, | would be
glad if you would answer the fol
lowing questions:
L. Did you, or any member of the
school land department office place
value 81 100000 on the land pur-
ported to be donated by Oklahoma
City to the state for capital purposes
2. Were the titles TO these lands
examined by the proper officials OF
your department?
8. Were the titles good? II not
how many defects were found in
them?

defects been corrected to date?

The Kingfisher Times, one of the
leading Democratic papers of Central
Oklahoma, last week contained the
following pertinent editorial and cor
respondence:
The Capital Matter
This paper has looked without bias
or partiality upon the contest be-
tween Guthrie and Oklahoma City for
the capital In order that our read
ers might have first hand and official
information of some features Of the
case, we wrote to the school land de-
partment to trace down some state
ments made in the Oklahoma City pa
pers. The correspondence appears
elsewhere in this issue. We gather
from the facts brought ont that Okla
homa CITY is trying to play the people
OF the state for suckers, and planning
to unload on them some scattered and
undesirable suburban lands with
shady titles in lieu Of the capitol
building she covenanted to the state.
The whole history of the location Of
the capital at Oklahoma City is rotten
and corrupt from it's original inception
to its latest proposition. Not only is
the land OF doubtful title and value,
but the forfeit is put in Lee Cruces
hands as private citizen, with strings
to ii making it subject to a contract
written In weasel words We have
not heretofore been in favor of locat-
ing the capital at Guthrie. but, consid-
ering the erookedness, dishonest and
utterly despicable course and conducr,

(From Bennington, okla, Tribune
Last Sundays Oklahoman had a
cartoon on its first page representing
Guthrie as dead negro hung by
the neck, while Oklahoma City was
represented as a slaughtered hog,
supposedly for the purpose OF Great
ing the impression that Guthrie is
negro town, The cartoon is disgust
ing to any fair minded man and forei-
bly, brings to mind the kind of fight
Oklahoma City is putting up in the
capital matter.
Unable to produce argument to fool
the public they resort to campaign
of Villitication, misrepresentation and
abuse.
Here are the facts. Oklahoma City
has more negroes than Guthrie and
also has more as compared to her
white population. They elect negro
officers, have them on the school
boards, and on the police force, and
other city offices. They are elected
from the negro wards just the same
as is done in every city of any size in
this or any other state. While ne
gro officers have been elected from
negro districts in the past just as
stated about Oklahoma City, there is
not now nor has there been since the
last general election, a negro officer
in the town of Guthrie.
Guthrie is too nearly Democratic,
as was demonstrated by the election
of Frank Olsmith for mayor, to stand
for any more niger" business.
The Oklahoman should be fair, cut
out the dirty mud singing, and tell
the people what they have done to-
ward keeping their many broken
promises. It's dollars and cents,
cold-blooded business proposition with
the people of this state. "Nigger"
tactics don't go.
