Harrison j. Cruel.
Senator Luther Harrison Of the
Ada News Is developing his propen'
sity for cruelty and seems to be
running unrestrained Tie was
chosen chairman of the Ferris cam
paign committee publicity bureau
and really made an honest effort 10
go over the top with the Ferns
windmills AS he sent out glowing
stories of what the democrats had
/ done, the governors pardon mill ran
with terrific swiftness and accuracy
/ and the corporation commission

morning. noon and night. While he
strove to overcome these mentioned
obstacles, the bank charter storm
arose and enveloped him and those
who fought by his side.
Harrison went home and what he

calculated TO soothe those occupying
exalted positions of state. This week
his wrath overcame him when he

party unless those in authority for

Harrison actually asks those high IN
democratic councils to think OF
something for the people--some-
| thing calculated to be Of benefit to
the public and not to the office

The average man will not at first
glance see the cruelty of the llar-
rison program. No one will gain.

strengthen and revitalize the demo

a joke of reorganization. Moreover
no one knows better than Mr.. Hur-
rison that the chief executive would

meet one in the glare of the noon
day sun. He did not assume he
duties of his office in possession of

One More "Policy."

It's political ins.gnificance does not
rest with the soldiers in their ei'
forts to secure hospital facilities, but
Is due to the fact that the legisla-
