The promlscs OF Walton.

Editor World; There always was. is now,
and. always will be certain elements In society
that cannot make their way In the world on
parity with the average man. that make eX-
trayagant demands upon the government, 20 do
impossible things for them.
SociolOgically, we might cail them tho. 81

existence upon a demngogucs promise 10 a l6O-
with milk and honey and a rich mans dog to
lick the sores of Lazarus at the Gates OF Dives
The "nigscrs" socialists and a few criminals OF
union labor largely belong to this class. They
al know FAR more about the science of govern
ment than they do about toll and supporting a
family. II is this class TO whom Mayor Wal
ton has made the most oxtravagant promises.
Now, tho nlgRcra have been making demands
for social equality and TO be made good demo-
Gratis on u parity with tho white democrats; TO
this demand Mayor Walton has actually opened
the public libraries ot oklahoma City to them
ON "A parity with the whites and made many
thousands OF them good democrats carrying
the walton banners in the democratic ranks.
upon Walton to RuseianiZo and North DakOtiZe
oklahoma; Mayor walton has met this demand
by accepting tho shawnee platform and putting
lot OF red-eyed socialist orators carrying
democratic banners for Walton; and, forced the
silk-lined democrat orators 10 sit upon the
same speakers platform upon political terms
OF equality.
a few criminals OF union labor have been de-

Mayor walton has promised 10 drag all the
they might be sitting, who might issue a court
order restraining the crimes OF union labor;
to use the Oklahoma militia to protect them
In the crimes they might do incident 10 strikes.
The omnipOtent power OF Mayor Walton 10

class, bears all the earmarks OF n political
genius; he has precise promise for every de-

from the cross.
The abstract science of telling lies IS after
all the having OF the undaunted courage to
meet an eStrayagant demand with an impos-
sible promise; this is, possibly why he had the
genius 10 stand upon two platforms as far

~ much good faith on tho part OF His Satanic
Majesty. as Mayor Walton eXercisCd IN al his
tempting promises to the niggers and the So
calsts; there is this TO he frankly said in he
half OF Satan, that his power 10 perform under
his promises was not handicapped by any Shaw
nee platform; while Satan's promise TO give the
"whole world" 10 the Savior was eXtravagant
while Satan has never ran for office but he
has been the very father OF liars; highly capable
~ making promises impossible OF fultllment,
his promise uf temptation was not moro eX-
oNtrOvagant than that OF Mayor Walton's prom

ana to mako all other good democrats feel al
home with them after Walton Ia elected,
Now let get down to brass tacks
should Mayor Walton be our governor what
should necessarily happeu7 IN venture the
answer 30 tho question.
He will be like any other man IN the gov
ernors chair; all his official duties carefully
prescribed by some very certain constitutional
limitations; he'll lind q government by law and
not by men, limited In itH power to promise and
limited i'm it, power 10 fulfl promises; pollu-
clan much uncomfortable IN the habitat Of a

promises Will haunt the executive mansion; that
there will not bo enough dogs 20 HEX the sores
