barometer of Public Opinion


Editor World: Ia this section politics are
warming up, as most every day heeler kicks In
and emts sermon to tho unwury--day or two
since one Of tho wardmen argued on the effects
OF the tariff on sugar. and announced that de-
structlon awaited the country on such tariff ar
raugemcnts as were TO he enforced from now on
---ho boosted tho walton policies, and belittled
the Fields policy OF the Adm.
why were not all these disastrous conditions as
made by the democratic ruo provided for by the
Same party2 No the burden was unloaded on
To Harding ana his party to unravel as best
they could
Tho contest as between Walton and Fields for
the bosshlp OF tho state, calls to mind the con-
test as between Cox ana Harding for the Prcsi-
dency two years ago-WaltOns policy ~ similar
to that OF Cox, only more destructive IL the stan
dnrd presg OF the country Ia correct in explain
ing the two conditors-from what Walton ls al
legged to have said no wants votes and i'm
matorial how secured. and for what? Fields
tells the people that the conditions existing in
oklahoma are bordering on the intolerable, and
lots OF room to correct the conditions and their
causos-the masses OF the people need just such
corrections made-and then he would pay his
taxes Willingly ana on time--as It IL this farmer
ana lhborer arc or as no views the landscape are
simply paying for oppresSon---that by a change
he or they may save home and fireside and re-
CeiVe therefore more just rule. and proper APP
plication OF the taxes he heaps into the official
hopper aud there manufactured into an article
he Is burdeued with now and bordering on dsas-
ter-to him. his family and the country
generally.
An Improvement OF the conditions az exist
ing In Oklahoma ia what safe and sane sentl-
mcnt wauts--and much progress ~ made on
that line and among tho elements that are now
burdencd almost to exhaustion
II tho platform on which Walton stands Is as
explained by the eastern press ana destruc-
tive as IL is alleged to have been on tho
Dakotians In the past, may Fields deliver this
country therefrom, or anything liking TO IT, a
governor who Ia for the masses as a whole or
for the state as a whole, with the power placed
In hts hands for good, can and will avoid such
disastrous conditions as has bctalcn the Da-
kotans-but a governor who adopts the policies
that devastated Dakota and injects them into
the rule In this state they were there, IS not
tho man for tho position, and many OF the
democratic party here and here abouts, view
the matter and Walton In that Hight.
governor who can WELD power enough 20
question Of national import, can most as
suredly intervene In behalf OF the people and in
their interest. and do good TO and for thcm--and
as understand tho constitution as 10 his duties
that Is what he should do-he Is elected for the
purpose OF delivering the people from disaster,
and with him and his interests and to him SINH
lar benefits accrue-the state, the people and all
that to them belong are in his hands for protec-
tion and preservation--the most radical party
ism In the republican party cannot nor would Il
over-stcp such bounds In protecting the pCOple
he should be as brave and courageous as any
sea captain in danger of sinking his craft, go
with II as many one has done-Dewey with
stood the onslaught OF tho Spaniards and never
once flinchod Fields we understand him,
proposes to stand by the people as whole-sink
or swim-and the chances are that In case he Is
elected he and the state VIII swim and land
safely on tho shore OF success, and the Okla
homa and IT'S best citlzenry will rejoice as never
