WINGED, as have a number of my
friends throughout the state, that
your antagonism to me would lead
you on even to the extent of utterly
destroying the efficiency of the Ok
lahoma state penitentiary, and hav-
ing arrived at this conclusion, there
is no other course left for me but
to address to you an open letter in
order that your career of destruction
and deceit may be exposed and the
true animus of your attacks on me
made known to our fellow citizesn.
Investigated Before.
"You know that it is an undisputed d
fact that my office as warden of the
penitentary has been investigated on
five separate and distinct occasions
during the past four years previous
to the last investigation.
you know that some of these in
vestigations have been made by nom
partisan and bipartisan committees,
composed of republicans and demo-
Gratis, and that in each instance ny
management of the penitentiary has
been not only approved, but that ]

the manner in which the construction
work was being carried out and in

You know that the ministers of

the republican press of that city,
have publicly and repeatedly indors-
ed my course and that even after
the last alleged investigation, and
Iafter your venomous report, they
have publicly come to my support and
announced their confidence in my
integrity and their approval of my Of
ficial conduct and of my administra-
ton.

you know that for tour years you
have been personally cosnizant of
conditions at the penitentiary, even
in detail, and that for four Years you
have repeatedly approved these con-
ditions and sent for me to come to
the state capital and assist you in
securing legislation and appropria-
tions for continuing the policies in
force at the penitentiary when you
were unable to secure legislative ac-
ton, and that ! have rendered you
very valuable assistance in this con-

of attorneys other than yourself to

oath of office and in violation of
the constitution of the state of Ok
lahoma, you participated in and took
an active part in the enactment of
Il law appropriating state funds for
a given purpose, and then became
the beneficiary Of a portion of that
appropriation, and on April l6, 1910, !
a warrant was issued to you in your
own name from the state treasurer
in the sum of $500 as attorney fee

aside a space in the proposed plaza De-
tween the Capitol and the Union station
for the placing Of statues and memorials
TO women. The space would be known as

ator Jones, who comes from the state OF

earnest about his bill. and has. moreover
the support of the suffrage Senators from
other states.
