II seems that the only matter that
stood between the people and the

the matter OF cost. Many people OF
the city believe that thetown needs

which the railroads demurred. The
companies proposed spending Is
thousand dollars in repairing and
making modern the present depot,
which was not acceptable TO the city
nor to the corporation commission.
II the companies fail to comply
the Commission will have plans pre-
pared for the station, and the courts
will be asked to compel the compan-
ies TO build along these lines.
This union station matter has
been up for about five years. and II
has been thought settled dozen or
more times. People who are famll-
lar with tn efacts in the matter be-
lieve that the latest order OF the
commission will settle the matter

HARSH VIEW OF GOVERNOR

failed 20 pardon the convicted election
officials This editor brands him as a
mutt and the worst mutt who ever at.

such harsh Language. The honor Of
making this declaration against VIII.

sertion Immediately following the Gag
it was made. Here Is the way J. Roy
Williams views the governor:
The man who started the report
that the democrats OF Oklahoma would
refuse to support President Wilson
for renomiration. II the president re-
fused 70 pardon Beall and Quinn. the
men who have been sentenced 10 the
penitentiary for enforcing the grand
father law. is the worst mutt who has
attempted to speak for the party.
There is absolutely no connection be-
tween the two propositions. When the
question Of the pardon OF the two men
is properly presented to the president.
the democrats OF Oklahoma will ex-
pect him TO treat il absolutely upon its
merits. When President Wilson's
=
cratic national convention. the presi-
dent VIII expect consideration upon
the merits OF his administration. No
man who is not big enough TO look at
the matter in this light will be sent as

"Unless the prisoner can be en-

prison. he Is best off working on the
roads. There Is fair return to the state
in the roads that he builds, while
the prisoner receives the development
of honest, healthy toll"
"Two predominant elements for
good In convict road work are often
lost sight of by the taxpayers he con
tinucd: First, the utilization of a
class of labor practically untitled for
any other kind of work. Second, the
building II pof a system of good roads
at minimum cost to the taxpayer and
the state.

which they were denied, is bound to

incidentally on society at large, that

The statements that organized Ia
