Those Who heard Governor Has
,lkell when he spoke here and else
lwhere in this county will remember
that his speeches were based upon
record facts and he produced the evil
denee to hack up his charges. Owen
SAYS the charges are untrue. II so
We are unable to see why they are
Impossible of debate, owen has
made a record and is in possession
of all the facts, and is amply able TO
lprcduce them and show whether or
not they are true. II occurs to lis
that the issue is squarely and fairly
lup to Mr.. owen and unless he con-
descends to furnish the people some
proof he will find the people will not
take his mere statement OF untrue e
that he did not ''slander" or ''nsult"
Senator Owen personally. He sim
ply discussed his official record and
let the people compare the records
with the Owen literature. In Mr..
Ovens closing statement he says: Il
have carefully refrained from dis
cussing the record of my defamer,
flor the reason that the unhappy pub
Ilicity already given to his record has
done the state of Oklahoma great
harm throughout ! the United States
and cost the Democracy OF Oklaho
ma many thousands of votes"
We submit that there is more
/ 'h'ander'N and defamation in this
closing statement OF Senator Owen
than in any speech Governor Haskell
has ever made against Senator Owen.
Mr.. Owen is too digniled to come out
in the open and discuss the official
record of Mr. Haskell, yet he closes !
his statement with slanderous in |
many times more "defama- |
tory and slanderous than an open |
charge of misconduct in office openly
made and backed up by the records.
We believe the people are entitled to
know the facts and we believe if Sen
ator Owen can either defend his own
record or prove Haskell an unfaithful
public servant. 1t is up to him to pro
luce the proof openly. We don't
IKE to see fellow fight from am

here is something wrong with pub
ic servant who tries to dodge behind n
cloak of dignity
THINGS HASKELL WILL NOT DO
Among the many things Haskell

i them
He will not waste time in the high ;
ociety of Washington City.
He will not waste time on reform
ng the government of China or Tur- :
ey or Persia.
He will not vote TO print envelopes n
t great loss to the government and :,
hereby to the people of the United
states of that class which are used :
" the great business concerns of
he East which have already enough
rays of robbing the people without
Iaving their envelopes printed by the
'eople.
He will not vote to perpetuate and
.nlarge the jurisdiction of the fed

Reader, If you are interested in
hese speeches attend our speaking

ruth you will know who you want TO
'cpresent you in the United States
