Elected governor of New Jersey
in 1910, he has transformed the
state within the short period of a
12-month. Before him it was the
most hopeless of all the machine
ridden states of the Union, satellite
of the Pennsylvania company, and
the snug harbor of nearly every
monopoly of the land. He has re-
created its constitution and estab-
lished its laws. He has smashed all
its corrupt rings and combinations
democratic and republican. He has
restored their commonwealth to its
people. He has indicated their right
and capacity to rule themselves. He
has re-established the operation of
the government as an agency for
the general welfare. He has de-
stroyed its efficiency as a medium
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of privilege. !"

THOMAS AND JEFFERSON
ARDENT SUPPORTERS OF
WOODROW WILSON

In a statement they have issued
over their signatures setting forth
the reasons for preferring Woodrow
Wilson for the democratic pTesiden-
tial nomination, eX-Goveronor c. $.
Thomas and DR.. B. l.. jefferson of
the state land board, have the fol-
lowing to say:
w ith no disparagement of other
aspirants for the democratic nomina-
tion, all of whom are statesmen of
high character and achievements. We
respectfully bespeak your dispassion-
ate attention to the merits and avail
ability of Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey.
While the prospect of democrat
ic success in the coming presidential
campaign is most promising, it is by
no means conclusive. Progressive
sentiment, though strong and con
stantly increasing, is not cohesive.
and will not become so until one
of the great parties is formally COM
mitted against it. When that oc-
ours, the forces of gravitation viii
attract all men of common purposes
to their respective centers.
The President will probably re-
ceive the Republican nomination,

opponents to prevent it. In that
event progressive Democrat, whose
faith is known not only by his
words but by his works, should be
our standard bearer He must mea-
sure up to the standards demanded
by the sentiments and purposes of
both the progressive Republican and
the independent voter, with whose
support he can win. The one can
didate who fulfills this great essen
tial is Woodrow Wilson.
He has devoted his life to the
study of popular government, which
involves an acquaintance not only
with all the political. social and
economic problems of the day, but
with the forces controlling all de
partments of administration. He un-
derstands more thoroughly than any
man of the day the existing evils OF
government, their causes, their con-
sequences and their cure He per-
ceives with clear vision the neces-
sity of regaining control of all gov
ernmental agencies and fully appre-
ciates the formidable forces arrayed
against that purpose. He possesses
that serene courage of conviction
which seeing the goal, and knowing
how to reach it pursues his course

end of the business for the 101 Ranch
Oil Company. until that company
now has property of over 10000
acres of land, and twenty-one pro-
ducing gas wells, with total oil pro-
duction owned by the 101 Ranch Oil
Company of 1900 barrels per day,
and with over $50 million feet Of gas
shut In. These men organized the
Kay County Gas Company, which is
supplying gas to the towns Of Ponca
City. Newkirk and Tonkawa from the
wells of the 1OI Ranch Oil Com
pany.
The total production of the Ponca
City field for the month OF Septem'
ber, 1912, was slightly over sixty
thousand barrels This production
was divided among the Devonian Oil
Company, Gunsburg & Foreman, Nc
Graw Oil Company, and the Lacledc
oil Company; all of them, except the
McGraw Oil Company, operating on
sub-leases from the 1O1 Ranch OIL
Company
A mistaken impression has arisen
among the oil fraternity that these
sub-leases pay TO the l01 Ranch oil
Company royalty on their produc
tion. This Is not true as there are
no royalties in the Ponca City field
in excess of one.eighth. The Devon
ian Oil Company. and Gunsburg &
Forman made eparate contracts with
the 1O1 Ranch Oil Company when
they went into the Ponca city field,
buying the one-half interest In GER
tain proven quarter sections. one
quarter section was valued at $4,000
and the half interest in II was sold to
one of these companies for $4,000,
but instead of requiring this co.n-
pany to pay the $4,000, the 10i
Ranch O'l Company stipulated that
the said company should hold the
$4,000 and put $4,000 OF its Cwn
with hat. and expend the total OF
$4,000 In the drilling Of six wells on
that property. In this manner the
sub-leasee drilled six wells In pay
ment for the half interest and the l01

each, and the sub-leaslns company
was able to drill the other four wells
on its contract out of production OF
the first two wells drilled All OF the
ub-leases made by the 10l Ranch on
| Company on proven territory have
been similar to this. They first agreed
upon the value OF the lease, then sold
a half interest at one-half Of that
value, ana instead Of requiring the
| sub-lessee TO pay the money, nave al
| lowed him TO expcnd tre money in
the development of the property. All
| the com panies that have dealt with
the 1O1 Ranch OIL Company in Ponca
City are very well pleased with This
arrangement. 1t is the easiest and
| least burdensome way to get into
sure production that has ever been
devised in the oil business The cred
1t of this plan is due to Mr.. Msrland
who made these contracts for the
| 10l Ranch oil Company; and they
are most liberal in their policy with
regard to the development of terri
tory that is less certain of production.
They are leasing quarter sections ard
half sections in the Ponca City field
within mile Of production without
reserving any interest, and without
charging any bonus. giving the opsr-
ator, who is willing to take chance,
piece OF territory free of cost,
which, We're II not controlled by ,he

in the hands of the farmer, would
