So If you will take these levies and
make comparison, you will find that
the general average per capita in these
republican counties Is 5.7S. where i'll
the democratic counties 1t is 3.1S.
Listen, friends, these fellows have
not yet learned how to ioperate the af- :,
fairs of a county economically, and
yet they ask you to turn over the state
government to them. Let me say
right here, that / ask you on the third
day of November, when you go to the
polls to cast your ballot, when you are
in the booth with no one present ex-
cept the good Lord and your con-
y
cast your ballot for n set Of officers4
to control this government for two or
four years, rs 1t worth the premium
of SIS over 31S to have as county
officers of this county set of men
who representing the standpat repub-
lican party, who by their own acts
have proven to you that they are not
economical in the matter of public gov
ernment and by reason of being
nominee of the standpat republican
party have proven to you and to the
world that they are not IN accord with
Woodrow Wilson and his policy OF ma
tional government. .t&
The first thing that attracts atten-
tion when looking at the east side of
this state is, that although republican,
ism had been in control for fifty years
on that side of the state, that never
one thought had been given to the
education of the white child, that II A
white man desired to pioneer on that
side of the state 1t was necessary to
either have sufficient funds with
which to send his children away. to
school or let them grow up in ignor-s
ance. In contrast to this in eight years
democracy has changed that condi-
tior We have dotted every Hill and
valley of that part of the state with
school houses and have builded up an
educational system that is second to
none in these United States.
Although they had been in control
for fifty years on the east side and for
twenty four years on this side of the
state they have given no thought to
our orphan children. We found that
they had been let to grow up neg
lected and unthougbt off, In contrast
with this we are proud 20 say that
democracy has today bGflded for these
orphans at Pryor, Oklahoma modern
home where 2S5 OF them have been
together and are now being
given moral, mental and physical
We found that although this party,
which is now defaming democracy.
had been in power all of these years
and that they had never given one
thought to the blind child. but in con-
.rast these unfortunate children had
been left to live and die In darfness
a thought as to the better
nent of their condition being given
in contrast to this we find that dem
1cracy has established for them
modern home and school where 1876 of
hem are being educated and their
moral and physical needs being cared
'or by the state. ~. .t, .4
Go with me to Sulphur, Oklahoma,
and see what democracy is doing for
our unfortunate deaf and dumb chill
lren. 1t has in these eight years es-
ablished a home and school for them
and is teaching and training them so
when they go out into the great world
hey will be self-sustaining In con-
rast to this remember that under re-
for fifty years on the east
nd ty- in
vest side that no attention had been
yiven to this class of citizens.
Pause for moment and reflect with
ne that a like. If not worse condition,
'xisted relative to the care OF our un
ortunate insane. 1t was true that
emporary arrangements has been
made on this side OF the state for the
are of these unfortunate people, but
N the east side where the carpet bag
ule was in power hundreds of these
Infortunates were left to suffer, to die
without treatment and as a burden
lpon their communities. Occasionally

When we took hold OF the reins OF
