GOVERNOR CRuCE
ON WAR PATH
Row centerine About Brewer of
Agriculture Body Takes New
Turn.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 27.-Adyised
by the attorney general that such ac-
tion is within the scope of his author
lity, Governor Cruce made an informal
request today upon R. F. Wilson,
treasurer of the state board of agri-
culture, for an affidavit, now in Will
sons possession which is said to con-
| tain serious charges against o. A.
Brewer, one of the members of the
board of agriculture.
Wilson declined to surrender the atii-
davit, stating that it had been given
to him in confidence, The governor
reported the result to the attorney
general and will wait for advice from
him before taking any further steps.
A formal demand for Brewers resig-
nation was served Thursday afternoon
upon G. T. Bryan, president of the
board, by Ewers White, one of the
republican members of the board, also
under advice from the attorney gen
eral. 1t was refused
President Bryan refuses, TO discuss
the matter but admits that the
charges against Brewer have been dis
cussed by the board. According to
Whites statement. it was agreed by
a majority of the board that Brewer
should be allowed to go to Canada in
charge of an Oklahoma exhibit at the
dr. yfarming congress. and that his
resignation should be accepted after
his return Brewer has been one of
the most influential members of the
board. He was one of Bill" Murray's
campaign managers during the pri-
mary contest this year.

Fire Prevention Day october eth.

Chicago, Sept Ex-Governor Cruce
has proclaimed Wednesday, October
3, the anniversary of the Chicago fire.
as Fire Prevention Day in Oklahoma.
The governors OF practically all the
western states are taking similar ac-
tion, and that day will be generally
set aside for the consideration of the
Are waste of the country and of the
state, with exercises in the public
schools and meetings OF commercial
organizations, and for the cleaning up
of premises in preparation for the fire
hazards of the fall and winter. An
editorial calling attention to the proc
lamation and urging general eompi.-
ance would be very helpful just at this
time
October 8 was observed by thirteen
western states last year, with excel
lent results both as regards eduea-
tional value and the directly practical
benefits secured by the Cleanup day
movement, Much better results can
be secured this year because OF last
years experience and the greater pub
lie interest in the subject. The fire
waste in the United States and Can.
ada last year was 1894 4,470,650. So
far this year it is equally severe. The

ordinary care and precaution. 1t is
to develop a sense of individual and
municipal responsibility for this pre-
ventable fire waste that this special
observance of Fire Prevention Day,
backed by the endorsement of the gov
ernor is intended
The proclamation asks that the
press of the state assist in developing
public sentiment on the subject and
encourage local observanees, and your
cooperation is hoped for. 1t is con-
seryation work. aims to save life and
property and to reduce the most dan

of Tullahasse precinct, Wagner coun-

mary election in violation of the fed
eral statutes. They we're released on

JOE FOLKS
VIEW OF IT

New York. Sept. 27-"There is not
a state in the Union" said former
Governor Joseph w. Folk, that Will
son may not carry. There is not a
lstate in the Union that either Roose-
welt or Taft are certain of carrying.
Wilson is sure of at least three-fourths
of the states, and as the leader of a
progressive democracy will have the
largest majority in the electoral col
lege ever given president.
During the past two months | have
been in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Mich
igan and Indiana, and have spoken to
several hundred thousand people Will
son is overwhelmingly in the lead
everywhere and each day he is grow
ing stronger His statement against
Smith in New Jersey has helped i'm.
mensely, for in opposing the type of
so-called democrats that passed as
good in the days when people were
asleep, he demonstrates his sincerity
as the captain of the new movement
which is merely the spirit of true de-
mocracy.
I'm former years, before the great
awakening Taft would have been con-
sidered good president, but he has
failed utterly to keep step in the march
against entrenched privilege
Dissatisfied republicans are com
ing to the democratic party or going
to Roosevelt. There is no need for a
third party while the democratic
party has standard bearer such as
Wilson and Marshall and there is no
detection from the democratic ranks
anywhere.
Roosevelt will, in nay opinion, run
second and will be far ahead of Taft.
In fact, Roosevelt WILL believe, get
two votes to Taft's one. not only in
the west, but even in Ohio, the presi-
dents home state Roosevelt will poll
more votes than Taft, while Wilson
will carry the state by a good plural
Iity.
1T does not take prophet to fore
see what this will mean. II Roosevelt
carries more states than Taft, the two
parties after the election will be the
Roosevelt party and the democratic
party The republicans will go the
way of the Whig and other organiza-
tions that have passed away during
our political history.
The chief interest in the election
is not as to who will be elected Presi-
dent for it is conceded by all well
posted men that the election of Will
son is practically sure. The chief in
terest is whether Roosevelt will get
more votes than Taft. That he will,
F, in my opinion, do.
I'm Missouri the democrats have a
strong and progressive state ticket
and Wilson will carry the state by
$4,000 to 100000 plurality Roosevelt
| is strong There, but five-sixths of his
votes there and in other state will be
drawn from the republican party

telephone, express or other public
service corporation will find himself
facing a felony charge before jury
of his peers. In Illinois, it is common
knowledge that passes of all kinds are
plentiful at the state capital as hon
esty of purpose is scarce. Is it any
wonder, in the light of these facts.
that Illinois shocked the country with
its Lorimer scandal?
Illinois has been in control of the
! republicans since 1892, when for q
brief period the immortal Altgeld
caused a stampede among the eorrup-
tionists. Missouri's lawmaking body
has never been without democratic
control, in at least one branch, since
the civil war and most of the time the
party of jefferson has been at the
helm in both houses.
Missourians know their state is
progressive and they know the demo-
cratic party made it so. They know
literacy among whites and blacks alike
is on the increase and they appreciate
the wise constitutional provision that
gives one-third of the states entire
revenue to public education.
Knowing these facts the militant
democracy of Missouri is only await
ing the day when it may cast its elec.
toral vote for Woodrow Wilson for
president and drive from the state
house the Mysterious Stranger, who,
because of democratic family quar-
rel, slipped in four years ago
There are now fourteen democratic
congressman from Missouri, out of six
teen. Unprejudiced observers say the
republicans will win only one Mis-
souri, district this year that of Richard
Bartholdt, whose biennial election is
brought about through the influence
of the great brewery interests within
his bailiwick.
Champ Clark will be returned to
Washington, it is predicted, with a
greater majority than ever before, as
will Lloyd, Rucker, Alexander, Booher,
IShackleford, Borland, Dickinson. Ham,
lin, Hensley, Russell and Rubey. Two
young democrats-Pearl Decker in the
fifteenth and William l.. Igoe in the
eleventh St. Louis district-are al
most certain of election. Both are
able, forceful speakers and will add
tone to the already formidable dele
CATION.
Not even the most rabid republican
will deny the assured victory of Ell
lliott w. Major, the present attorney
general, who is the democratic candi-
date for governor. He is opposed by
both a republican and a third termer,
who will only serve, however to make
the democratic majority all the
greater.

points into speeches Of harmony
through all of which, however there
was an urging to re-elect President
Taft.
That there was little good to be
gained by changing the present adj
ministration for democratic one was
pointed out by showing that the coun-
try was enjoying an era of prosperity
the like of which was never known be-
fore, and was never enjoyed by any
other people. The high cost of living

THE BEEF TRUST
TOOK TO TASK
THE MEAT MONOPOLY.
CBy savoyard.)

A writer in the Washington Post, a
radical and fanatic standpat organ OF
the tariff barons, drops into the sub
ject after this fashion
Woodrow Wilson's Syracuse speech
on the high cost of living has given
rise to more excited comment, pro
and con, than anything else he has
said in the campaign The low tariff
press is foremost in giving the speech
prominence, as comes natural, and
also as a knockdown argument against
protection for American industries,
and, thirdly, as a home thrust at the
alleged meat monopoly, as if the pack
.ers controlled the live stock industry
and supplied all the meat the coun-
try consumed OF course, the packers
handle only fraction of the cattle
and the products, as anybody who
has qualified for the three RS degree
in scholastics cannot help knowing. +"
Alleged meat monopoly" is decid-
edly and refreshingly good when EN-
ployed in connection with the grasp
ing and illegal combination of pack
ers in the slaughter houses of Chicago
and other western cities that fixes the
price of every pound of meat consum-
ed by every urban people in this Union
of ours. dwelling in towns and cities
of 10000 inhabitants an dover.
