A Hustling Town.

Hewitt, located in the western por-
tion of Carter county is one of the
best small towns in southern Okla
homa. 1t is located in the heart of
one of the richest agricultural sec
tions in this rich agricultural coun-
ty and is peopled by a citizenship
of up-to-date, hustling, wide awake
business men and farmers who are
always on the alert for anything
which prom ses to benefit their
town. OF the dozen or more store
buildings in this little city there
is not one vacant while it would be
impossible to find an empty residence
there.
There is no selfishness in the
spirit which pervades this town.
When the citizens Of Hewitt see a
business proposition open to them,
they at once investigate it and
should it be meritorious they take
immediate steps toward mailing" it
for their city. An effort to improve
the town and help out the surround
ing country, takes precedence above
everything else.

votes of the Taft republicans in Kan

There can be no doubt as to the
duty of governor whose state faces
this condition of affairs. He should
at once convene mis- legislature to
change the states election laws. Every
man in Kansas should have chance
to vote for the candidates he desires

governor to see that the republican

for myself that my ideas of govern

Sidna Allen was effected earlier in

Election-CIass 6 IS an Act Of
Piracy.

Kansas City, Kan, Sept. t NeV-
er has The black flag of piracy iloated
above the political seas as now; never
was it saluted with so much honor,
declared Governor Thos. r. Marshall,
democratic nominee for vice presl-
dent, in a speech here today.
In all my political career | have
never asked anybody to vote for me;
| do not propose to do so now. | am
unfit for public office if my personal
preferment is more potent than the
triunph of the cause J advocare. He
is not a good soldier who is not will
ing to sacrifice himself in an effort
to save his party standard My per-
sonality is of slight moment to the
voters of this country unless they be-
lieve in my party platform, and In
nv intent, if elected, to help carry
out its pledges. lhave no quarrel
with the man who disagrees with
me with reference TO the democratic
platform. He may be right, mucn as
| doubt it.
"This principle is vital: That every
man in America has the right to run
for office and to vote for whomsoever
he chooses.
When matters of great pith and
moment are involved, a party is not
dealing honestly with the voters un-
less it declares its principles and
pledges it's candidates to maintain
them. A vote obtained through dis
stimulation is wrongfully obtained.
Gould anything be more piratical
than tn, open b,ast of the Roosevelt
men that they kept still and waited
until the Maine election had been car
ried before declaring their principles?
Every regular republican vote obtain
ed in this way in the state of Maine
was fully. as dishonest as the votes
in the Chicago convention which nom-
mated Taft.
"a party that opens its political
meetings with prayer and sings "On-
ward, Christian Soldiers" and claims
to be the embodiment of pure poll
tics and clean Americanism ought to
be honest enough not to deceive the
voter, not to dissemble, and not to
resort to legal technicalities in order
to force the voter either to vote for
candidates he does not desire IN Of
flee, or to vote against his principles.
THE progressives claim to be di-
vorced from the republican party on
the ground of non support. They have |
renounced that party and all its works
and all its ways, They claim that the |
republican party is even worse than
the democratic party, yet here In the |
state of Kansas they propose to place
the republican emblem above their |
electors and thereby force |
the Taft republicans to do one of three |
things, none of which they want to do
