its identity must cast at least five
per cent of the entire vote of the

at the next election It must cast ten

The coming election is the first
election to be held since the pri-

that maintains Il identity must cast
five per cent of the entire vote OF
the state. which void mean that they
must cast from 10 thousand to Is

they must cast at least ten per cent

REPUBLICAN IDEA or ELECT
ION PURITY

Oklahoma is still infested by a
remnant of the old republican car
pet bag machine that so ruthlessly
exploited this territory before state
hood. It is almost amusing to see
the efforts being made by this old
machine to get back into power and
they are now using the candidacy of
one John Fields as an entering
wedge.
This old gang has developed a
wonderful sentiment for purity of
the ballot and are now busily en-
gagged in circulating all sorts Of un-
truthful reports regarding the late
primary election. Every candidate
who failed 10 be nominated on the
Democratic ticket. according to his
gang, was counted out. They do not
stop to explain how 1t would be pos
sible to count seven or eight men in
when that many were running but
he who was elected was the crook
who is now a democratic candidate
by virtue of corrupt election board
Our present primary system is hedg-
ed by the most safeguards ever put
into a primary election. K
Every step of the procedure from
the time the counters finish count
ing the ballots until they are COM
piled by the State Election Board is
open to inspection. A copy must be
posted outside of each precinct and
copy sent to the county clerk, and
copy retained by each member of
the board. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible for the state board or the coun-
ty board to count anybody out or
anybody in.
The oily fraud committed during
the primary election was that in
stigated by the old republican gang
who sought to weaken the Demo
cratic party by having republicans
and socialists take part in the Dem
ocratic primary. for the purpose OF
voting for candidate, whom they
considered If nominated, would weak
en- the Democratic ticket 1t is hard
ly the part of consistency for the old
gang to be holding up their hands in
horror at the election frauds when
the only fraud committed was that
instigated by themselves.
This gang has long record be-
hind them and the people well re-
member the time when our election
laws were not hedged by so many
safeguards, and when the Republi-
can State Election Board arbitrarily
counted Bill Cross out for Congress
and counted Bird s. Mcclure in.
They well remember the time when
Bill Cross received five thousand
votes more than did Bird Mcclure
Bill Cross was the nominee of the
Democratic party and the Free Sill
yer Party and his name was on the
ballot twice. Many voters In cast
ing their ballot voted for Bill Cross
on the Democratic ticket and also on
the Free Silver ticket. Word was
passed down the Republican line to
have all these ballots mutilated when
in fact, the voter had shown his in
tention, not only in one place but In

that no action would be taken on
the West suggestions, at least until
tomorrow.
