The Campaign.

Editor World: About a month mora ends one
OF ne most exciting state campaigns ever held
IN OkHhomai and from an industrial and eco
nomlcal standpoint one OF tho most important
Two yeare ago the state went republican
an on one great Issue, Tho League OF
Nations" which was national issue, The
sensible democrats did not wish To tie up
America TO police Europe. SO by uniting with
the republicans, sent the league To the junk
pile. In this election there are three important
issues that The voter should take into considera-
uoh 10 decide ms or her vote. Robertsonism
klanSm and socialism. The first ism has to
do with the present administration. Haven't
the people had evidence enough TO throw sus-
pcion upon Governor Robertson and his fol-
lowers Let us see: About forty-two members
OF the legislature voted to impeach him. An
Okmulgee grand jury indicted him and his
appoinleo Fred Dennis. Seminole grand Jury
indicted Lieutenant Governor Trapp. And
what was that about the certificates sold to
negroes2 Now, Mr.. Voter Mrs. Voter and
Miss Voter, would you be willing to trust thls
bunch to look after your own personal matters2
The governor liz out making speeches for Mayor
walton. and II the mayor Ia elected isn't there
chance for this came bunch to get their
clammy fingers into the dough? This important
question IN up TO the voter and we have con-
riding and abiding faith that they will do
their duty. The next issue Is klanism or Ku-
that tho khan dictated both republican and
democratic tickets In Tulsa county and to q
certain eNtent In tho state. II Is a well-known
iact that the khan and Its sympathizers claim
inc right TO punish person guilty OF law Viola
ton, Or In other words they claim the right
10 ldke one out and try him in their own way
and administer the punishment they desire TO
infllct. We are surprised to find so many good
men belonging TO tho khan. We say good men,
Good men gone wrong And that reminds us
that when boy at the time OF the Civil war.
We Joined the home guards. ono day the drll
master told us we were going 10 make a good
soldier, except we always got off on the wrong
foot When he said left we put our right
foot down, so that kind n mixed things. Now
n fow words TO the women voters We know
you are not Ku-KuX and our advice TO you be-
fore you take much part IN politics Is TO get a
copy OF the constitution or the United States.
Tho best government in the world and read 81
thoroughly and then follow II and YOU will be
100 per cent American, As we said above the
therefore, we say, lee us adjourn politics, We
laugh at the democrats, because they have a
platform and can't set the would-be governor
TO get on We have four candidates for the
legislature that were marked right by the khan.
Now 10 said candidates are klansmen, or In sym
pathy with the khan they should resign. II not
they should let the voters know through pub
lie opinion. Remember tho republicans in their
state platform always have a plank against
mob violence. We would advise all caudidat tes
for office, unless they think more of office than
they do Of honor TO come out from under cover
and give us some chance to know how to vote.
Now to socialism. You all know the old
social party that used TO condemn every word
ana syllable of our system OF government.
Democrats always had less use for them than
the republicans, We remember one old socialist
IN Lincoln county, and he was fair sample.
This system OF government ia rotten" Dur
ing tho World war he kept quiet
Now there is n candidate for governor who
Is socialist running on "A socialist platform.
VIII you vote for him? We have too much faith
| In the people Of oklahoma 20 think we will
! ever live under a socialist administration.
