The Oil Trust, whipped into frenzy
by this daring move of its enemy,
struck with all its force and venom
The president of the Uncle Sam Oh
COmpany-H. H. Tucker, Jr.-was the
victim marked for slaughter. Then
was begun a persecution so relentless
as ought to rouse into action every
red-cOrpuscled citizen OF the Republic.
Tucker fought back; dragged into
courts and indicted, he remained IN
daunted; discredited by the Oil Trust,
Tucker has gone to the people and
the people have responded in no IN
certain manner. The warfare is still
on; Tucker was born into the fighting
service, his father having been a Lin
coln-UniCn Soldier, and now he has
assumed the aggressive. To give MS
story wider currency, to carry to re-
moter points the brutalities Of injus-
tice submitted TO, Tucker has entered
the Kansas Republican senatorial
campaign.
In its sixty years OF romantic and
picturesque career, Kansas has ger
minated many great reforms; in that
state has been developed the most am
bilious independent oil refining or
ganizatiOn in the world, and the citi-
zens are determined that the man who
black flag Of the Oil Trust shall have
fair play
fuckers message to the people Of
Kansas is. uncOmpromising and unmis-
taxable. 1t is:
Elect me to the United States SEN
ate and, God willing, we shall drive
the Oil Trust into obscurity!''
A pretty definite platform; nothing
supine or pusiI1animous about that
The line of cleavage is marked. It's a
positive issue. The hordes of criminal
money and brute power are at work
the Hired Hessians- fighting Tucker.
Kansas is stirred deeply; a cause Of
that character is certain to strike
close to the homes and firesides In
the state which, musket-Weighted,
rose en- masse against the enemies Of
human liberty. This time the invader
is clothed in different raiment; in
stead of the CaIiban Of Slavery, it is
the FTankenstein Of Greed-but the
motive is the same: an equally fright
full monster, whose enormity is hated
in Kansas. The treatment has
changed, too; then it was bullets, now
ballots.

Uncle Sam Co. Prosperous

Among the proposed development
projects by the Uncle Sam Oil Con-
pany are the building Of 3 main pipe
line into Kansas City, Kas., with ca
pacity of forty thousand barrels per
day; a million dollar refinery In Kan
sas City, Kas.; enlargement Of the
CherryYale refinery, and later, with
the development Of the Arkansas City
Wichita field, refinery in that
section.
Employed in various capacities by
the Uncle Sam Oil Company-as lease
men, drillers, statesmen, distributors,
drivers, mechanics, accountants, col
lectors, foremen, superintendent, ct
eetera-is a force Of approximately
three hundred men, principally compe-
tent, highly-trained helpers.
Associated with Tuncker as stock
holders Of the Uncle Sam Oil Com
pany are twelve hundred representa-
tive Kansas citiZens-farmers, law
yers, bankers, mechanics, doctors,
publishers, merchants.
The Uncle Sam Oil Company is a
typical Kansas enterprise, illustrative
Of the high ideals Of its citizenship.
Managed by a Kansas man, who has
displayed remarkable gifts OF caDacity
and comprehension it fits closely into
the Kansas scheme OF bigger, bright
er and better future. H H Tucker,
Jr., who organized the company, who
bore with equanimity the brunt Of the
Oil Trusts persecution and who is
triumphant in the flush of recent vim
dication, is now on the aggressive.
With the eompany's affairs in such
splendid financial shape that It no
longer fears the INSCRIPTIONS attacks
Of the Oil Trust. Tucker is now under
taking a vigorous campaign against
his enemy. Just as the Oil Trust and
its minions have been merciless in
the past, Tucker will neither ask nor
bestow quarter in the future.
