body supposed h. could. The truth is
the platform was not drawn to meet
minds of the Roosevelt caliber. If it
had it would have been greatly alb
breviated, expressed in words of one
syllable, and printed in great primer
type. The Republican platform is a
document intended to appeal to the
intellects of Americana with sufficient
understanding to comprehend the
meaning of the Cons,itution and real
ize the vital necessity of maintaining
its principles unimpaired. Mr.. Roose-
Welt is making himself and his party
ridiculous by his show Of Grass ignor-

has felt it necessary to issue a public
denial of some of his statements sc
garding the league Of natiohg.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Everyone Crooked, Everything Wrong

Everyone Crooked, Everything Wrong
Mr.. Cox seems to have fairly won
the distinction of being the supreme
denouncer of the United St:tes. He
denounces the Senate for insisting up
on s.le preservation of American in
dependence. He denounces the Repub-
lican Congress- for not reducing taxes
when his pafty's administration was
trying to get larger appropriations
than Congress would grant. He de-
nounces imaginary Republican cam
paign contributions although his own
party, in control of the executive de-
partmelts, has sent campaign public
ity matter under a penalty envelope
free of postage at government expense
and in violation of law. He denounces
the Republican proposal to return 20
peace SIS quickly as Il declari tion of
peace can be adopted and signed. He
denounces child labor although States
ruled by his own party have been
slowest in the enactment of legisla-
lion for the promotion of child wei
fare He dcnouGCeG the high cost Of
living which his party failed to re-
duce in accordance with its pledges.
lie denounces the profiteers whose
profits were enhanced by tho methods
adopted by an administration which
his party controlled. He denounces
Republican senators whose popular en-
dorsements at tie polls surpass his
own fondest hopes. As an all-round
denouncer, Mr. Cox is in a class by
himself, but he will find that the coun-
try is looking for something besides
a denouncer as occupant Of the White
House

The New Buick Models

For twenty years the Buick Motor
Company has adhered steadfsstly to
definite principles Of motor car de
sign and manufacture" says f. t
Strong, General Sales Manager Buick
Motor Co The reward to owners
and dealers AS well as to the builder.
for this unweayering fidelity to policy
and concentration Of energies has been
seen year after year.
"And. the highest pinnacle in this
long period Of Buick development has
been reached in the new line for Nine
teen Twenty One.
There are seven models for the new
season, including three open and four
closed body types. While they have
retained those qualities that have
been adopted as standards of mechani-
cal excellence for two decades, i'm
provements have been added to in
crease either the convenience or the
long life of the cars.
"The casual observer on the street
or in the showroom will note that the
most striking change is in the new
lines of the body, top, radiator, hood
and cowl, which blend into harmoni-
Gus wEole Of rare and graceful beauty.
Yet. there is nothing spectacular or
radical in the new lines and those ia
miliar with Buick methods will under
stand that the outward appearance
merely betokens TIE inner goodness of
the new Buick
"Since the opering of the previous
season. the Buick Valve-in-head motor,
even at that time brought to high
state of perfection, has undergone
strenuous tests in the Buick research

and experimental laboratories. And
it has passed from the engineers
hands more refined motor, capable
of greater service with less exacting
demands on the driver for adjustment
and attention.
Throughout the entire chassis, me
chanical changes have been introduc-
ed wherever possible to make for easi-
er adjustments and care Of working
parts. For example. the clutch can
now be readily adjusted with 4 wrench
directly beneath tine i'loor board.
ut is no longer necessary for one
to get under the car in order 10 drain
oil from the crank case. Just inside
Of the hood there is handle which
operates the plug in the crank case.
In a similar. way, water may be drain
ed from the radiator by turning an ex-
tended handle placed within convenient
reach.
Another Illustration of Buick atten-
ton to detail is seen in the accessible
ity of batteries in closed cars, which
are provided wi,h a small door in the
floor board over the battery box. The
springs ON all closed cars have been
re-desigiftd to insure the smootheat
riding qualities over rough roads.
"Owing to the growing demand for
more roolny and luxurious roadster,
the new Model nty-One-Forty-
Four has been stuGiously designed with
the result that it is distinctly a new
model. As remarkable as it Is with
i,a improved lines, it still possesses
the Characteristic Buick style.
"The rear of the body has been
widened, making it exceptionally com
Portable for two passengers besides
the driver. There are two spacious
compartments, one back of the seat
and another beneath the rear deck,
that affords ample storage space.
"The five-pascenger open car, Model
Twenty -One-Forty-Five, has . grace
full, low appearance. The driving COM
partment and tine tonneau have been
re-arrangcd slightly to provide more
room end the seats have been changed
so us to afford the most comfortable
position for driver and passengers.
"ModelTwenty One-Forty Nine, the
seven passenger open car, i5 continued
as the ideal car for the family. Door
openings have been widened and more
room for extra passengers has been
secured. Forty Nine is a big, useful
ear, beautiful, refined and easily con-
trolled.
"All of the open cars are equipped
with the new Buick patented top,
which permits an unobstructed view
to all occupants. Snug-fitting cur
tains swing with the doors. Due to
the fact that so few owners drive with
their tops down, top carrier irons have
been eliminated. However, irons and
slip covers may be secured by the own
er If he so desires"

Should We Vote the
Democratic Ticket?
Prof. o. T. Willis of Bristow Writes
Interestingly - Matters of Per-
tinent Interest to all Colored
People OF the State
(Star Special Letter.

BristOw, Okla, Oct. 12-The first
Wa OH ! should feel called to give
IN 6aswer to the above question is:
That We are here in the South
among Democrats who have an
overwhelming hold on the power
of the courts, financial affairs, and
the land, and ii cannot be denied
that with possibly very few eXcep-
lions in this great state of Oklahoma
we are granted as a rule a pretty
fair and square deal in all of these
fields. We have evidences of the
truth of this on all sides. We have
capable ColOred attorneys achieving
success in the courts; we have banks
and Colored men and women eXer-
Using wide influence in financial
,ircleS; finally, we have Colored
farmers and owners of oil, gas and
,oal lands which place many of
them in the millionaire class.
Would it NOT be fine for some of
our Republican friends TO point out
similar conditions under Republican
Influences somewhere or anywhere
m the United States. 1t is an inn
possibility for them to do SO.
Then, take our educational OPP
Dortunities. Each year, we have
from seven to nine months school
for Colored children, and at the
same time the State maintains an
Institution at LangSton which is re-
plete with every facility for the
highey literary, scientific and in
iustrial training. But suppose the
authorities would say: "Down with
the Negro Schools;" it would be
done and the schools would close
sine die. Bud the SeStiment is fav-
Orable to the continuance of our
schools and in many sections spec
ial effort is made under Democratic
auspices to improve them.
We're the Colored psople split pc
liticaliy, some voting We Democrat
ic and others the Republican tickets
il would have bearing on Lynch
ing Because when a ColoTed man
is lynched now, virtually, nothing
is gone. But if voter was gone
lynching would stop TO an extent.
The Republicans think they have
deedl on the Colored man and own
him soul and body as far as voting
is concerned, but ! am glad to note
that in many quarters we are throw
ing off this yoke and taking our
places along with other full fledged
citizens of other races.
