HARRELD'S BUBBLE BURSTS.

When Congressman j. W. Harreld
Republican candidate for the l.. S.
Senate. cast his vote for the Esch-
Cummings railroad bill he disclosed
his complete unfriendlness To labor
and the producers Of Oklahoma. The
laboring men were appealing to their
friends in congress to stand by them
to help XIII this vicious bill, which
las zen the means of increasing
freight and passenger rates, and
which is known and recognized from
one end of the country to the 9TH
cr as unalterably opposed TO lahcc .
interests.
Tho railroad men are up in &Ims
AGAINST Harreld everywhere. as N"!'
as the miners clr2enters and un!o@
men generally 1t was thought for Il
-ime that Harreld'S ote for We r
F,fSer would secure The Socialist c. -
ment Of labor and get them to 51.'

on this most impr-tart piece of lie 'li-
.It;rn has discl Il - hem his dou5.

of congress The socialists have found
that he merely voted to seat Berger

scr example: by his vote for Berger
he intended to appease the Socialists.
Ey his vote far the ESCh-Cummng
Iii, he soas ht to line up Big Busi-
ness ana was WIlliig TO slap labor
pay increased rates, in the fact in
order to do it.
He is now going over the state pratt
ing about his opposition to the Lea
que of Nations, hoping that he can
align the Republicans behind his
cause and get the Republicans to forT
get tha; he had traded off the par
ty Of Lincoln, Mckinley and Roose-
welt in order to gain favor with a
lew socialists.
The result of it all is the Social
lists have become disgusted with him
and his double-dealing methods until
they will all vote the Socialist ticket
and the Lincoln, Mckinley and
Roosevelt Republicans refuse TO have
their party traded off by an oppor-
tunist who tries to secure few So
cialist votes.
Harreld then sought to align a few
renegade meal-ticket Democrats, up
on whom former Chief Justice Thos.
II. owen has already put the mark
of Cain. These members of the So
called "Jeffersonian organization" have
fallen out among themselves. They
all the secrets of the organization, CIV
ing the exact amount of salary each
received from the Republican state
committee. Their efforts have been
so disgusting that their influence has
been detrimental rather than benefi-
cial to the Republican nominee.
The efforts Of the paid hirelings OF
the Jake Hamon machine TO misleat
/ Democrats into supporting HarrelC
has so disgusted those who support
ed Senator Gore in the primary tha
instead of getting in behind the JEFF
fersonian movement" they have lfneC
up to u man for Scott Ferris, IN,
Democratic nominee.
Harrelds chances seem 10 be al
most nil everywhere and he has q
last. in desperation. resorted to som,
petty. cheap politics. inlulging in sucl
statements as that Scott Ferris was
Republican in Missouri, statemen
we'll known 10 be false 20 every maj
in Oklahoma. as Well as to every &c
quaintance of Scott Ferris in Mis-
souri,. Harreld was so foolish as L
give the name Of his alleged inform
ant as 10 Scott Ferris alleged Repuh
llcanism and the informant. Mr.. "
