To the Editor G. the Tulsa World:
My dear Mr.. Lorton--I get the i'm
preston from reading your paper that
You favor the organization Of an in
dependent movement In state politics,
having for its purpose the ousting Of
what you are pleased to term the
present machine adherents OF the
Democratic state organization, and
the taking over Of the states affairs
by men who are elected by this in
dependent movement. That the men
10 be selected for such a ticket are to
be men who know and owe no al
leeiance TO any party Organization or
10 any faction within any party That
the movement which you advocate
purposes TO take in the so-called bet
ter element of all the old parties,
Democratic, Socialistic Bull Moose
and Republican. That your cardinal
principle will be TO redeem the state
from high taxation and to prevent
the squandering of the states re
sources under the guise of reform.
with this purpose in view it seems

Viduals Of the several political parties

In the past and measured by this
standard It seems to me the plan Is
wholly impraeticable.
Suspicion of Rcformers.
Observation and experience IN poll
tics has taught most Of us 60 look
upon the so-called and self-consti-
tuted roformors In the several politi-
cal parties with considerable sus-
pcion, They are usually made up Of
men who have spent the greater pur-
tion OF their lives working In some
political organization, taking 20 them
selves what benefits they could from
the organization so long as they
could control II, and when they fin
ally find themselves out Of harmony
with the majority Of the rank and
file OF the party to which they be
long, begin 10 discover wherein the
party is ana has been wrong and feel
Immediately called upon 10 discharge
n great public service by way Of re
formation and promptly forsake their
old associates and party organizations
and organize OF indorse some so-called
Independent movement without eX-
ception by whatever name they muy
designate their movement the excuse
for it's existence is always alleged 10
be IN the interest of some great NOR
al uplift or financial reform. Their
stock argument is that long contn-
ued party organization and en-
trcnched party power leads TO com
binations and corruption In public af-
fairs. Generally, these so-called and
self-constituted rcformers and lead
ers Of political thought no sooner sur
round themselves with following
than they Immediately begin to con
struct an organization. and usually
much after the fashion Of the one
they have abandoned and 80 strenu-
ously denounce.
No Demand for Another Party.
To my mind there does not exist
In this state any demand for a new
party or the organization of n so
called Independent movement in order
TO wrest from the control Of the ma
chine" in the Democratic party the
affairs Of the state Of Oklahoma. But
on the contrary we need only a lit
tie hearling backward toward first
principles of government and a Wig
Orous campaign Of education along
that line which will call the attention
Of the voters to a few wholesome old
time facts known to every man, but
oftimcs forgotten I'm the heat of
political campaign. Since the grant
Of statehood the people Of Oklahoma
have been engaged in an era of specu-
lation, both as individuals, munich
palities and state. They have dis

lied the present. The taxpayers are

Thief and Driver
In Hot Pistol Duel

A pistol duel between burglar and
a negro chauffeur created a panic in
the fashionable residential section at
Piedmont avenue and Juniper street
Monday. The burglar was discovered
In the two-s story servants house at
the rear of the home of DIR. l.. NJ.
Creighton, No. $50 Piedmont avenue, by
maid.
The burglar also was seen at work
by Lee Knox, the negro chauffeur for
John NJ. Mccullough, the rear of
whose residence at No. 147 Juniper
street abuts the servants house, and
Knox shouted to him.
From the second story window of
the house the burglar, a negro. began
shooting at Knox, who returned the
fire. Two bullets penetrated the chauf-
feurs clothing and third caused a
slight flesh wound. Knox fed and the
burglar escaped, using strips of sheets
to descend to the ground.
A lively chase followed in which
Policemen West, McWilliams, Tribble
and CAN'T participated, but the man
escaped.
