c. n. HASKELL
WILL NOT DEBATE
Colonel Now Leaves Little Ground For
Argument, okIahoman Says.

Oklahoma City, Sept A. When
Theodore Roosevelt visited Oklahoma
two years ago Governor Haskell, who
was then also treasurer of the ma
tional democratic committee, challeng-
ed him to debate on political ques-
.tions. When asked as to what course
he would pursue o nthe occasion of
Colonel Roosevelt's trip through the
state this month the former governor
said he would not renew his challenge.
Among the reasons given Mr.. Has
kell states that "Mr. Roosevelt's pres
ent platform and contentious seem to
be so much along the line of Jefferson
ian democracy and the demands of the
common people that there would be
little ground for debate between u.s."
Governor Haskell then decided that he
preferred to give out signed state
ment, which in part follows:
Two years ago | occupied a position
of responsibility to the democratic
party of Oklahoma, which made 1t my
duty to defend the party against any
of its opponents and believe that Mr..
Roosevelt's ideas and policies of gov
eminent at that time were at war
with the ideas of the Oklahoma de-
docracy. At the present time, how
ever, ! am simply one of the demo-
cratic rank and file, and others, who
believe are able to represent the demo-
cratic party and should do so, and are
responsible to the party for leadership
and defense, have first right to speak
for the party.
Mr.. Roosevelts present platform
and contentious seem to be so much
along the line of Jeffersonian demo-
cracy and the demands of the common
people that there would be little
ground for debate between us. The
people of the United States are so
muc hin need 0 fthe services of cap
able and fearless men that there is mo
propriety in controversy unless there
is substantial difference on public
questions | have no thought of the
past, but live in the present and for
the future of our country, and have
had no time nor opportunity to analyze
carefully Mr.. Roosevelt's policies and
contentious, hence | have no right to
deny rcriticise his present policies,
and ! have seen enough of this world
to know that crisicism is not just un-
less it is founded upon substantial evil
dence.
We also realize that every defender
of the rights of the common people,
especially those who are vigorous and
determined in the battle for good gov
ernment are constantly subjected to
vicious criticisms without justice or
proper intent.
Fully realizing that while theorists
may devise and advocate policies of
government, | also realize that there
are few men with the genius, vigor
and courage to fearlessly meet the or
ganized opposition of honest govern
ment and enforce the laws. No public
official whose duty to the people is
we'll performed will ever escape the
vicious assaults and slanderous attacks
which the agencies of corruption will
heap upon thos ethat they cannot con-
troll G. N. HASKELL.

BILL MURRAY
AND SIDNEY SUCGS
Speak From Platform Made Of Alfalfa
Bales.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 4-Col. Sidney
Suggs, of Ardmore, state highway com.
missioner, and VIM. H. Murray, of
Tishomingo, democratic candidate for
congressman at large, addressed a
large crowd of people Saturday night,
on the federal square. The platform
from which they spoke was made of
alfalfa bales. Col Suggs spoke for
forty minutes on good roads, the state
highway and urged county organiza-
tion in behalf of good thoroughfares.
Mr. Murray araigned the tendencies
of socialism as anarchistic and threat
ening to American institutions.
Mr.. Murray stated that he believed
that Wilson would get the popular and
the electoral vote. He said, however,
that the democratic party would he on
trial for the next four years and that
the only way to give them fair
chance was to elevt a democratic
house as well and then if they did not
fulfill their part of the contract that
they should be kicked out. 1t is the
desire of the progressives to pass laws
that will rectify the present evils.
There are those who say what is the
use of progressives. The man sitting
o nan iceberg is and the man who sits
in the road is also moving because
progress is moving. But we must pass
laws so that men can have something
to eat and something to wear for the
protection of themselves or they will
stand ready with bombs and we will
have worse revolution than the
French revolution ever was. There
lare evils which are now undermining
! the government and chief of these is
the growing socialist which is fast
spreading over the country.
The ultimate aim of socialism is
the destruction Of home, family, state
and the Christian religion. They are
seeking too abolish the wage system
and equality. This sounds good said
Mr., Murray, but to do away with the
wage system you would first have to
strip every man of his property. The
farmer would farm for the commune.
The barber would work for the COM
mune and nobody would own anything.
There could be no money because one
man would inevitably get more than
the other man. All you would get
would be enough to eat and something
to wear, not of your own choosing,
They oppose the inheritance tax for if
this would be abolished then money
would revert to the state. For this
reason they would oppose the family.
| We say society is builded nthe fam
lily, the socialists say on the individual.
Among the party too ninety per cent
are infidels. They hold their meetings
on Sunday. In contrast to this, Mr..
Murray alluded to how o. ]. Fleming
had made the resolution at the Balti-
more convention to adjourn from Sat
urday until Monday. The democratic
party has a respect for the Sabbath
and the republican party has a respect
for the Sabbath Socialism opposes
the family for they say on it is based
the inheritance of money They say
monogomy was founded o nthis doc
trine Mr. Murray then spoke of their
lack of patriotism, their free marriages
and the dangers of the system to Chris
tianity
