Dennis Flynn denounces the double
dealing of those who pretend to be
republicans and yet say they are go
ing to vote for Roosevelt He inyokes
the commandment Thou shalt not
steal" against the plan by which
Roosevelt candidates for electors un-
der the chaperonage of Jim Harris,
Bird Mcclure. and Dick Morgan, the
three bosses of the republican ma
chine in this state, are running as reg
ular republican nominees. He de-
nounces the boss rule of the republi-
can party in Oklahoma and the plan
by which control OF the machine is
transmitted by inheritance and with
out the voters of the party having any
opportunity to control its affairs. He
appeals to all republicans to stand by
the old party and to vote only for re-
publican nominees, who are really re-
pubIIcans. His test of republicanism
is the support OF Taft and Sherman.
There are a few genuine republicans
left in Oklahoma, and Dennis Flynn
is one of them.

tons Of the tariff

Oklahoma has in her public lands
and school fund assets Of about tif's
million dollars. The text book issued
by the democratic campaign commit
tee, contains a detailed financial state
ment OF the affairs Of the school land
from statehood to Septem-
Der list, 1912, showing a gross valume
of business Of s17902. (520.44, which
has been transacted at a cost Of 2
sl-t00 per cent, and this cost includes
the appraisement of a considerable
amount of land which has not yet been
sold. The statement accounts for
every dollar Of the school and public

handled in a business like manner

The senate investigating committee,
with a Roosevelt supporter, Senator
Clapp, at its head, has already dis
covered an expenditure of something
like 100000 in behalf of Col. Roose-
velt in his primary campaign for the
republican presidential nomination, A
large proportion of this money was
contributor by Finn, the notoriously
corrupt boss Of Pittsburg, by Geo. w.
Perkins, of the Steel Trust. and the
Harvester Trusts; by Dan Hanna, a
son OF Mark Hanna, and by Frank A..
Munsey, the publisher of a number of
reactionary newspapers, and one of
the most rabid defenders of the system
of extreme protection OF these ex-
penditures more than 100000 was us
ed in the Pennsylvania primary, a sum
sufficient to conduct democratic cam
paigns in Oklahoma for five years.
The Roosevelt boomers in Oklahoma
received $250O which is certainly CON
siderable more than was spent in this
state in behalf of Wilson and Taft
combined. Col. Roosevelt pretends to
lead movement springing ,spontau-
eously from the people but 1t is III
nanced by few political bosses and
trust magnates.

The third term candidate for pres.
ident evidently assumes that it is en-
tirely legitimate for champion Of the
great common people to accept the
financial assistance of the steel trust
and OF such men as Morgan, Friek.
and Gould, while it would be scanda-
lods and criminal for him to do what
Penrose and Archbold charge him with
doing IN the matter of Standard Oil
contributions Suppose we accept the
third term candidates own version of
this matter of campaign contributions;
suppose we rule the Standard Oil case
entirely out of consideration-thi
leaves as mdisputed facts the con
tributions made in 1904 by Morgan,
Frick Gould and Perkins, and the con
tributions made to the primary cam.
paign this year by Finn. Hanna, Per
kins and Muusey The average eiti-
zen will see no difference between ac
cepting Standard Oil money and steel
trust money and it does not clear the
third term candidates skirts to prove
Penrose and Archbold to be liars. He
may not be guilty of what they charge
but his guilt in other cases is beyond
dispute.

The senate committees inyestiga-
ton OF campaign contributions has de-
veloped an accumulation of proof
showing that the third term candidate
for president is the particular pet of
the steel trust. In 1904 Morgan, the
organizer of the steel trust contributed
100000 to his campaign. Frick and
Perkins were also large contributors.
It is likely that at least half million
of steel trust money was used in that
campaign. Finn, of Pittsburg, politi-
cal agent of the steel trust. contributed
more than hundred thousand dollars
to the primary campaign of the third
term candidate this year. The third
term campaign is financed by Finn.
Perkins. Hanna and Munsey all of
them large holders of steel stock. But
for the use of this steel trust money
In the primary campaign the third
term candidate would have made a
very poor showing IN the regular re.
publican convention in Chicago, and
the third term party would not now
be In existence, The third term move
ment is principally supported by and
In the interest of the steel trust.

WASHINGTON.-It is hard for old.
w time politicians, who have lived
their day in Washington, to realize
that the speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives is no longer an autocrat.
Any one desiring to get anything done
in the house is now advised to see the
speaker and Leader Underwood They
are the two head men of the Demo-
cratic branch of the Sixty-second con-
gress. Neither of them can do things
as completely and summarily as could
the autocratic speakers OF old, but
when both of them undertake to get
something done good start has been
made.
This status does not work as much
to a speakers disadvantage as one
might suppose. AS far as there is sat-
isfaction in the exercise of authority,
a speaker of the house is not as con-
tented man as his predecessors have
been. But he also has an excuse for
not complying with great variety of
insistent demands. And when the
house carries through a policy or a
