WHAT WEST
HAS DONE To
THE TRUSTS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.)

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
eral West tried the second one OF
the law violators who escaped by
technically sustained by Judge Hous-
ton. From this ruling of Judge
Houston's General West appealed to
the supreme court in June, 1913. The
case is still pending in the supreme
court, which will probably sustain
General West when it is decided, and
will settle the law so that the cotton
trust officers and agents can thereaf-
ter be compelled to give the cotton
farmers a square deal. 1t is clear
from the record that General West
has acted promptly and vigorously in
behalf of the farmers of Oklahoma.
1t is only to be regretted that so
much time is consumed by delays in
the supreme court.
Knowing of all these delays Gen
eral West has initiated a constitu-
tional amendment to reorganize the
supreme court and put it on basis
where it must decide all public ques-
tions within three months and all
private cases within six months.
Campaign Expenses.
To cover up their own tracks, can
didates yell about the corruption fund
of the other candidates. Judge Will
liams floods the state with circulars
insinuating that General West has a
big corruption fund from the great
pipe line companies and trusts and
monopolies.
Williams knows that this is false
from beginning to end They might
give million dollars to drive General
West out of Office, but they would
not give a cent to keep him in office.
West is prosecuting every one of
theme at the drop of the hat, while
Judge Williams supreme court holds
up the hat four or five years to con
slider the case
General Vests entire campaign
expenses will be far less than the
support of certain newspapers costs
Judges Williams and Robertson. The
Tulsa Daily World, the corporation
republican paper gets more money for
fighting general West than will be
spent by General West during the
entire campaign.
Voters, stop, look and listen.
Every railroad lawyer,
Every pipe line lawyer,
Every cotton trust lawyer
Is fighting General West day and
night, and most of them are support
ing Judge Williams.
Do you believe they are backing
one candidate with their money and
the other candidate with their votes?
Not on your life.
Machine Politics.
1t is common for the different can
didates for office to charge their op'
ponents with being machine polite
fans, while doing their best to create
their own machine.
Let the records of these candi
dates speak for them.
The state of Oklahoma is about
seven years, old Judges Williams
and Robertson have been active del
egates in every state convention.
General West has never tried to
dominate any state convention.
Williams or Robertson have been
delegates to every national conven
ton
Williams and Robertson have work
ed to control the organization of ev
cry democratic state committee.
General West has never tried tC
control any state committee
And yet General West never fail!
to vote the democratic ticket, and al
ways contributes to the democratic
campaign as much as he is able tt
give.
Now, voter, who is the machine
politician?

Editor Ardmoreite:

news in your paper of yesterday, that
