OKLA DEMOCRATS
|. TO FORCE FIGHTING
An Aggressive Campaign viii Be
wased For Next Three
Weeks.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 10. For the
next three weeks the democracy OF Ok
lahoma will conduct an aggressive
campaign. For the greater part OF
this time all of the candidates for con-
gress in this state will be on the
stump and Senator Owen will speak
almost constantly. Besides this there
will be several speakers from the out
sidt, including Senator vardiman, Of
J mississippi, and Mr. Bryan, Ollie
James and perhaps others. The or
ganization is getting into good shape
and a number Of local speakers are
on the stump, so that within the next
three weeks every hamlet and cross
road in the state will be reached by
some democratic orator. Large guam
titles of literature are going out daily
from state headquarters to the various
county campaign committees, where.
in turn 1t is being distributed to the
voters. The Wilson-Marshall Clubs
are also playing an important part in
assisting the state committee in the
work of organization and the distribu-
tion Of literature.
Thus far there is little evidence OF
any activity on the part of the regular
republicsn organization. There is very
little straight republican speaking and

ing Game to Be Played at Boston

Fenway Park, Boston, Mass, Oct. Is.
Those who figured the New York
Giants out of the running in the con-
test for the worlds championship,
were given a severe jolt here this aft
ernoon when the McGraw men pounc-
ed on Smoky" Joe Wood, in the first
inning of the seventh game of the
worlds series, and drove the erstwhile
conquerer of the Giants to cover, after
they had piled up six runs, a lead
which the Red Sox were unable to
overcome. Boston needed but this
game to win the series. BY winning
today's game New York jumped to
even money in the betting on the
series, which will be decided at Bos-
ton tomorrow afternoon. Tesreau, as
in each of the other games in which
Wood has been the Boston slabman,
was selected by McGraw for mound
duty, and gathered his first victory off
the American Leaguers. Hall relieved
Wood in the second inning, but was
unable to check the slugging Giants,
who seemed to be able to hit his offer
ings with ease.

COL ROOSEVELT
SHOT BY ASSASSIN

Roosevelt was shot and wounded to-
night as he was leaving the Gilpatrick
Hotel for the Auditorium to make a
speech.
The wound did not prevent the ex-
president from making his speech.
He Insisted the wound was super
fetal and went on to the hall after he
had seen the assassin arrested.
One of RooseveIt's campaign aids
seized the assassin and held him until
policemen came up.
A mob surged around the man, who
apparently is a radical on the subject
of Roosevelt's running for another
term as president.
The X-ray Of Colonel Rooseyelt's
wound shows that the bullet lodged in
the chest wall ana did not penetrate
the mngs
The wound is not considered dan
gerous.
Colonel Roosevelt left the hospital
at 1925 p. M He was able to walk
lunassisted.
Il am feeling fine" he said.
He will leave for Chicago before
midnight on a special train.
The assassin. who is small of stat
ure, admitted firing the shot, and said
THAT any man looking for a third term
fought to be shot.
In notes found in the mans pockets
! at the police station where statements
THAT the man had been visited in a
dream by the spirit of William McKin-
ley, who had said indicating Colonel
Roosevelt;
"This is my murderer avenge my
DEATH
"i'It Make This Speech or Die
The colonel felt no pain at the time
the shot was fired He was not aware
that the shot had taken effect until he
was on the way to the Auditorium.
His attention was then called to a
hole in his oyercoat, and he found that
his shirt was soaked with blood.
He insisted that he was not hurt
badly. A superficial examination of the
wound was made when he reached the
Auditorium and three physicians
agreed that he was in no immediate
grave danger.
In spite of the entreaties of physi-
clans. Colonel Roosevelt insisted upon
delivering his address.
'1'll make this speech or die, one OF
the other" he said.
Henry F. Cochems told the great
crowd which had assembled in the au
ditorium that Colonel Roosevelt had
been shot. He asked the people to bc
calm.

or progressive principles.

LOT progressive principles.
He is all things to all men to get
votes. He has suddenly become an
advocate of woman suffrage because
so many of them are now voters and
nave become so without his help. He
never was before.
His part9 is not founded on prin-
ciple but upon malice, revenge and
disappointed ambition. If he had been
nominated by the republican conven-
ton, the republican party would have
been good enough for him and he would
have accepted and welcomed the sup
port of the men in the party that he
now denounces so viciously
"His new party is being managed in
part and supported by as bad trust
promoters and corrupt political bosses
as those he accuses, and If elected it
will not be by progresives' votes, but
by the help of those who care nothing
for progressive principles.
"The means by which he has Sc
cured the votes of progressive republi-
cans in some of the states, notably in
California and Kansas, has been fraud
ulent and dihshonest.
ANY progressive republican in Cali
fornia who gives him his support with
knowledge to the facts, and all intelli-
gent voters must know the facts by
now, makes himself willing party to
their fraudulent proceedings. No man
Ior woman who is conscientious. and
believes in honesty in politics, can sup
lport any candidate who secures his
nomination by the means have point
ed out above.
Wilson is real and sincere pro-
lgressivt. He has proved it by his
course and conduct as a public officer
and as candidate. He is running on
sane progressive platform.
Nothing of benefit to progressive
principles or honest politics can be
gained by voting for either Taft or
Roosevelt. The best service progress
sive republicans can render to their
party, and to their country, under
these unfortunate circumstances, is to
vote for Wilson. 1t will help to teach
dishonest manipulators of politics a
wholesome lesson.
The regular republicans, so called,
will take the same course if they are
wise. Taft cannot carry California.
Therefore vote for him is vote for
Roosevelt and the destruction of the
republican party in the state.
With the new party schemt defeat
ed the republican party can be reunited
as progressive party, as it was be-
fore some of its members were led
away from it into a sham progressive
party, by men who assumed to be, its
Headers, and who care more for politi-
cal success than for the honor of any
party.
"All good people in California should
unite in the effort to rebuke the men
who have resorted to this scheme of
dishonest politics and to defeat every
candidate who has received his nomi-
nation by such means, be the office for
which he is candidate high or low,
This is a time to test the sincerity OF
people who profess to believe in hon
esty in politics.
