some ambitious reformer to make a

Oklahoma has debt OF about four
million dollars, and as an offset to
this debt has about seven million dol
lars worth Of property in the way Of
school buildings and other institu-
tions, all Of which have been put in,
under Democratic rule, in the seven
years of statehood. Nor is this debt
pling up at the rate of hundred dol
lars minute, as some Of the stand-pat
Republican orators would have the
people believe. To the contrary, it was
reduced considerably the last year or
two, and the balances saved in sew
