THREE REASONS WHY A DEMO.
Graf SHOULD VOTE FOR JOHN
FIELDS ANDFIVE REASONS WHY
THEY SHOULD VOTE FOR JACK
MAIT0N

In his speach made in this city re-
Gently, Mr.. John Fields assigned three
reasons why a democratic should vote
for him and we presume that he named
all the reasons there were on this sub
ject. The reasons assigned by Mr..
Fields We're as follows:
/. He said the present state admin
istiation had unused up" the affairs
OF this state and been guilty OF GER
tain misconduct and Irregularities.
2. He said that the present state ad-
ministration in North Dakota had prac-
tically bankrupted that state and that
therefore. the democrats Of this state
should vote for him.
3. He said that II Jack Walton was
elected certain socialists would take
the present Oklahoma militia and use
It as a neuclus around which to form
red army" and overthrow the gov
ernment or the United States.
Demos Should Study
Now. il these are all the reasons
why democrat should vote for John
Fields, and we presume they are, fol
he naturally suggested every reason
possible we think it would be a good
time for the democrats TO study these
different propositions. We Will dis
cuss them IN the order above named.
In the first one the accusation a.
gainst the present state adnhnlstra'
ton, we see the same old political dope
that Is always used by the person who
is out and trying 10 get in. IL IS an
easy matter 10 accuse somebody or be
ing dishonest or crooked. and that IS
the usual weapon OF the street wags
and unbecoming a man who aspires &c
an office as great as the office or gov
ernor OF this state
No Responsibility
lie did not point 10 any specific ac'
OF any officer OF this state except &c
the bank commissioners. but upon In
yestigation Of the truth OF this mattel
/ IL shows that the bank commissioner
was recommended by the bankers asso
citation OF this state to The governor
and his appointment was confirmed bN
the state senate and we can see no more
reason Tor holding the governor re
sponsible for on action OF the bank con
miss!oners than we could FOR holdini
the president OF the bank responsible
/ who happens TO hire persons recon
monded 10 him as clerk In the bani
when the clerk happens 10 steal por
ton OF the banks funds and icav'
with them.
No Tax Levy.
Al the close OF the fiscal ycay thi
state had ON hand more than s9,SS5.0O
and II will not be necessary To levy an
taxes for any state purposes Tor TN
wear. This alone should recommend IN
democratic administration TO the pcS
pie Of this state.
In this race the present governor
not running Tor reelection. but Mr' JAG
Walton. who has served Oklahoma CIT
az mayor and commissioner for th
past elk years is a candidate for go'
crnor. and no one has accused him Q
anything dishonest or dishonorabl'
therefore. the record OF Air Walto
and not the record Of anyone else shoul
be a matter before the people at thi
time.
The second proposition. that the pres
cnt state administration of North ia
kota has bankrupt the state. we ca
see no reason why this should influenc
the voters Of Oklahoma. North ~
kota il a republican state and has bee
ruled by the republicans for man
. years and we are not surprised Tia
. they have bankruptsd that state ah
; We would expect them to bankrupt th
state if they had an opportunity.
e certainly no argument In favor
republican to show that they ha'
had charge Of the government OF oth'
! states and have bankrupted the'
states.
Nothing ln Third.
b Cron the third proposition. We "a
{ see nothing tn this Tor any thindu
person to consider except that 1t is
scandal ana q Disgrace lot a man rul
ming for governor 10 slsnder the pc
; pie oi Oklahoma and our nstion
