(" PARTY LINES BREAKING up ::
: 3:
- Progressive Vote Largely Going ::
/: to Wilson, Says Carter. ::
(: Congressman Charles d. Car ::
/: ter spent Saturday visiting with ::
:: friends in this city and spoke ::
!: to a crowded house last night 3:
/" ut the county coms house Mr.. ::
!" Carter has kept up with the ::
: : campaign closely, ana he is of ::
:: the opiIlon that Woodrow ::
: Wilson will win N Tuesdays ::
:: election. He stated that he ::
!: had come in personal contact ::
/: with many republicans who are ::
- supporting Wilson but he has q
: seen very few democrats who ::
:: are supporting Hughes. ::
I: In commenting further upon ::
:: the national campaign, Mr. Car ::
:: ter said: ::
. In my opinion, the condi- ::
:: tions that will control the com ::
: ing election are more difficult ::
:: TO analyze than any president ::
): ial election for great many !:
!: years. (:
:: From what ] have learned :; !
:: by travelling over and through ::
:: some eight or ten so-called ::
:: pivotal states there will be ::
3: considerable breaking up of :;
:: old party lines. 1t is said that 9:
:: many of our foreign-bon ciu- ::
4: zens will not support Presi- ::
:: dent Wilson, but my obsorya- :: |
:: tion has been that this dehec- :; |
!: tiou is small and will be over ::
!: whemingly Offset ny the large ::
!: labor vote and recruits from :: /
:: the Bull Moose camp which :: |
:: Wilson may expect from the ::
{: close states. ::
: More than four million Am !:
:: erican voters four years ago ::
!: voted neither democratic nor ::
:: republican, but supported tts ::
!: progressive ticket. If Mr. vii ::
:: son gets only onefourth of this ::
:: vote, it should elect him pres ::
!: ident, provided he maintains -
| :: his other strength Of four years ::
:: ago and he will undoubtedly ::
!: do better than this, with the ::
/: large support coming from 9TH ::
I: er sources, such as the laboring ::
:: people, etc. ::
: In addition to 'his, times ::
!: are more prosperous than ever ::
!: before in the history of the ::
: American country. The wealth ::
:: of our nation has increased ::
/: forty-one billion dollars during ::
: President Wilson's three and !:
+: one-half years service. Labor ::
!: ing people are drawing down ::
/: more wages than ever before ::
:: in the history of this or any ::
:: other country. ::
!: But, over and above all tow !:
!: ers the fact that the Ameri- ::
4: can people are against war and !:
{: whatever else may be said of ::
/: Wilson and his foreign policy, ::
4: no man can deny that the for !: |
{: eign policy as negotiated by ::
:: him has preserved peace and ::
:: prevented war. ::
{: at looks as if Wilson mas the ::
:: best of it on close calculation, ::
:: but it may be a landslide on ::
:: account Of Wilson's stand for ::
:: peace" ::
= In speaking Of local affairs ::
:: Mr.. Carter said: ::
:: zone of the things that kept ::
!: me in Washington city a few ::
I: !: days longer was the necessity :: /
:: for getting in the treasury es- ::
:: Inmates an item for the next ::
! : per capita payment Of the Choc- ::
! :: taws and ChiC,ssaws. The ::
{: treasury estimates are submit ::
! : ted to the speaker of the house ::
: just before the meeting of !:
4: congress and unless this work ::
:: was done now, it would have :: |
4: been too late to nave looked :: |
:: after the matter upon my re- ::
:: turn TO Washington ::
:: Before | left, ! saw TO It that :: |
:: the estimates contained an :: |
:: item for a percapita Of 5000 :: /
:: to both Choctaws and Chick ::
:: asaws. The usual opposition ::
/: :: will, of course, be forthcoming ::
:: against this payment, but hav. ::
:: ing won the battle so cleanly ::
: : in the last congress, think ::
I: the Oklahoma delegation, with ::
I: its friends in congress. will ::
: be able to put the matter ::
:: over" ::
