GUTHRIE. oct. 24--"For 140
years we have stood together in de.
tense OF that flag and OF our consti-
tuition and we would be unworthy OF
that tradition and that record a. We
fail to lay aside party to save them
now" with this ringing appeal for
Il united front OF ali voters opposed
10 the Shawnee program, 5. l..
Freeing stirred his hearers TO ap-
ulauae as he opened his second ad-
dress OF the campaign here tonight
Freezing was introduced by Judge
Frank Dale, veteran democrat, who
spoke with approval OF the former
attorney-generaIs action in taking
the stump against Walton and the
league program. Applause greeted
Freezing as he came forward and
the crowd Of 500 which filled the
city HAN frequently demonstrated
approval as he proceeded TO dissect
the Nurth Dakota experiment and
charge that It has been transplanted
in oklahoma soil.
Lesson for oklahoma
Let oklahoma take a lesson from
example" said he, for If the peo-
pie OF North Dakota had defeated
Townley and his crowd OF socialist
rgitators in the first election, as you
have a chance to do in November,
they would have been saved this
shame and disgrace. The league
threatened there that those who
didn't vote with II would be driven
from the state and they will dc that
here when they get control They
issued bonds and with other FUNDS,
including the school fund, they had
over a 100000, 600 to use IN putting
over their program. They established
"A bank capitalized at S2,00O,00O by
paper transaction which did not
have an actual dollar behind II ana
into this bank they collected all
state and municipal funds. In ak
months they had Sl2,OOO,OOO on ue-
posit, which was juggled around 10
bolster up their socialistic enter
prises until the treasury and credt
OF the state was wrecked.
81 wish II were possible that the
Shawnee program and the demo,
cratic candidateFfor governor could
be separated. for | am q strong DEM
ocrat. But II 1t is put TO me that
they 90 together | reserve the right
TO vote as an American citizen fltst'
Socialism wrote the Shawnee pat
form; 1t was framed by George VIII
son, l.. n. Sheldon, Pat Nagle, Lu-
ther Langston and the rest, but the

am part of the democratic party. In
North Dakota they were going TO
build homes for everybody but only
a few leaders got any. They buiit
~ homes and one harm. r.. Nj. NC
CllntoCk who is now in oklahoina
city writing league editorials Tor the
Tulsa Tribune got one of the homes
He didn't pay for II. Now he is
down here supporting the same pro-
gram. lie was the league editor up
there and got his name in early
Socialists Trick.
Freezing described the proposed
$1,000 exemption on personal prop
erty as cute trick of socialists 20
put all tax upon land because they
want all land confiscated TO the
state.
Speaking personally, Freezing de-
clared he has no other purpose IN
his action than 20 help save the
state from the fate of North Dakota.
This campaign is nothing TO me-
he asserted, mot n thing on earth
except that j want to live In OKLA
homa. The democratic party can
stand a hundred defeats but IL can
not stand one surrender of principle.
] have not left the party but II sure
~ has left me II the Shawnee plat
form Is to become the platform OF
the democratic party" After Free
ling concluded. many Logan county
democrats went up TO take his hund
and congratulate him, among them
Judge A. q. c. Bierer, one of Guth-
rie's most prominent democrats and
former member of the supreme
court.
