ton. The entire expense of the fed.
eral government for seyenty-two years
under democratic rule had been 81
I581, ,706,195 But the democratic party
was succeeded in power by the re-
publicans and an era of extravaganza
DEMO PRESS-GAL THREE
was ushered in. The sixtieth congress
under Roosevelt appropriated S2.O52
799, ,4OO.6S, an amount for the two years
19O9-10 that exceeded the entire ex-
'pense of maintaining the government
for the first seyenty-two years of its
history by the enormous amount Of
s471 ,O9S, ,2O5.S4.
In answer to this statement republi-
Icans will declare that the population
of the country has increased enormous
|ly since 1861. Well, let us see? TlNs
population of the country at the close
of the Buchanan administration was
81, ,449,321. The population in 1909-10
had increased to 90,OOO,OO0 in round
numbers. The average annual expense
of government during the Buchanan
administration was $65 5,291, 1920. The
total cost of government for the year
1910 was $1,044, ,401 ,S5712. The popu-
lation had increased 1856 per cent. The
expense of government had increased
$50 per cent The per capita cost OF
government in 1860 was $2.0S. The
per capita cost of government in 1910
was s11.60 Omitting from the total
cost for 1910 the money appropriated
for pensions and other expenses in
cidental to the Civil war, the cost of
government had still increased ATS per
cent. This is an amazinfi record and
should forever silence the puny charge
of extravaganza brought by the repub-
licans of Oklahoma against demo
cratic state administration.

SENATOR GORE
IS FOR WILSON

Washington, D. c., Jan. 17.-Reply-
ing to an interview attributed to Gov
ernor Haskell to the effect that both
the Oklahoma senators favor the Mons
ination of Clark for the presidency.
Senator Gore yesterday gave out the
following statement:
Il have no doubt Governor Haskell
was incorrectly reported. | favor VIII
sons nomination and shall continue
to favor him until final roll call at
Baltimore. Wilson's prospects were
never brighter. The recent Jackson
Day banquet here, was a brilliant
Bryan-Wilson ovation. Thirty-two out
of fifty-two national committeeman ia
vor the Jersey governor. Clark will
not have any more than three states
and Harmon not more than eight. The
ancient enemies of Bryan played their
last frantic card when they published
the JOHN Cooked hat letter. The pub
lication of that letter had two sinsis-
ter designs. First, to put Wilson and
Bryan asunder to divide the progress
sive democrats and conquer them;
second, to inflame the animosity and
resentment of Bryan's faithful friends
and followers and cause them to de-
sert Wilson and this recruit by whole
or half votes, the campaigns Of priv
ilege and the enemies of Bryan.
The former purpose failed Mr
Bryan was too big to be cajoled. He
naively observed that the publication
of the Jeline letter was the best pos
sible proof that Wilson was not under
the control of special interests and
was not expected to be subservient to
big business.
The second purpose will not sue
eeed. Mr.. Bryan is reported as saying
that democracy must have a brogres-
sive candidate, and that Wilson is the
most progressive candidate in the field
If Wilson is good enough for Bryan he
is good enough for Bryan's friends and
they will not become plant tools of
his enemies.
THE nomination of Wilson is as
well assured at this time as anything
political and future can ever be. If
the democracy of Oklahoma is opposed
to him and it favors either Clark or
Harmon, 1t has a right to register its
will and to have it's will respected. Let
the victor have the delegation, but
there must be no wolves in sleeps
clothing, no reaetionaries in progIes-
sive clothing, no anti-Bryan men in
Bryan's clothing Democracy cannot
win under the sign of the double
cross"
We want no quarrel in Oklahoma
or out of Oklahoma We want unit
ed plaalnx and splendid triumph. Ii
we fail, it will be suicide not homi-
eide"

Revival Gains Impetus.

From Tuesdays Daily
The revival at the Methodist church
lis having results very beneficial to
Vinita and its churches. Christians,
who's religion was doubtful are get
ting right, backsliders are being
brought back, people that have never
been converted are deciding to be
Christians or are asking for the pray
ers of those that pray and are striving
to get right.
DR.. Mcintosh seems to get stronger
and have more power as the meeting
progresses. His sermons are all strong
and he brings out his points by vivid
and sometimes touching illustrations.
His illustrations taken from nature are
very strong, while sometimes they are
amusing.
A prayer meeting was held yester-
day afternoon at the home of Mrs. jeff
Blevins and one today at Mrs. Clark's.
The mems prayer meeting in the
pastors study from 7:10 to 1880 are
strong features of the system for the
meetings.
Christians, pray that this may be a
great revival for Vinita and then help
make it such. Bring some one to these
services. These meetings are not be-
ing held to get members for the Meth
odist church. but to save souls After
being converted. they will be invited
to join some church of the city

quarter ending January 1, the amount
of money in the depositors guaranty
fund increased from $44,237.40 to SCI,

out to depositors $s5,52O97. There was
collected from state banks assessments
amounting to $1OS,O7S.20, while $4,-

This Office pays into the state treas

spends to maintain this department.
Moreover it does not cost the tax pay
