for your own and editorial assistance. You
Ignored both. Your services might have
been very beneficial on that occasion.
Such thlnga as these lead. me to believe
that you are a loud talker, but not a re
liable actor.
If Oklahoma democracy has done In two
years practically all you recommend In
your platform, why don't you help those
who do things Instead of oppose their et-forta?
In Oklahoma we believe that the organ
ization of labor la indispensable to elevating
humanity and protecting the toller.
We want respect for these principles to
tie the part of the education of childhood,
and the practice of mature years.
Therefore, we have begun by requiring the
i nlon label to appear on our common school
books.
No doubt three-fourtha of the common
school hooks are used by children of those
who toll In the field, the mines, the shops,
etc. .Now let those who buy these books
join the Oklahoma plan and soon the union
label win be on every boon in tne union.

Results speak louder than promises. Read
the- following quotations from the annual
teport from the Stale Federation of Labor,
unanimously adopted lant July:
"The above, we believe, ia a record in
legislation which has never been equaled
by any otln-r state In the union, and the
fidlowiitf n must be given credit for

u.i at nil tunes, and we are free to confess
that had it not been for Governor Haskell

t!ie first session of the legislature would
not be on the statutes of Oklahoma today."

Governor of Oklahoma.
had done nothing which would confer upon
the Standard Oil subsidiary company more
authority than It already possessed under
a franchise granted It by Secretary Hitch
cock. The statement In full follows:
To the Associated Press: President
Roosevelt's letter is before me and while
this Is the first time In my life I have
been made the subject of a cabinet meet
ing. I am thank-ful for the distinction and I
wish to express my high regard for the
office of president and my profound respect
for the wisdom of our fathers In making
It. posslhl to change the occupant of that
high office every four years without the
right granted to a crown prince to succeed
the king.
t assert that It Is fair for men to assume
that If my case was to be dignified by an
all-day cabinet meeting that beyond ques
tion Mr. Hearst and his campaign as
soctate. President Roosevelt, left no stone
unturned to blacken my character. That be
ing true, they certainly raked Ohio, fore
and after, concerning the Ohio Standard
Oil cases of 1899. and, finding absolutely
nothing reflecting on me, the president
tried to waive his charge of last Monday
aside by saying he "will make no allusion
to that." He drops this subject because
his original statement waa untrue and he
must know from what he and Hearst tried
to find In Ohio and failed, that I spoke
the truth when T said I never in all my
life had any interest In connection with
nor service for that company
I say the president knows now that my
statement Is true and I regret that he tries
to brush It aside without doing me candid
.lust Ice. Were I to adopt the character of
language so commonly used by the presl
dent I would spell It In fewer letters than
fnlsehootl.
Mr. Roosevelt, I hope to sneak In Ohio
soon. May I hope to divide the time with
some partisan of yours or Prince William
who will defend your action In this Instance?
President Roosevelt comes to Oklahoma
and finds a substitute for hla Ohio failure
Does ha. In the case of the state against
the Prairie Oil and Gas company, which
he complains I compelled to be dismissed?
Yes. 1 did have It dismissed. Yet, we all
know that the Prairie company Is a Stand
ard Oil company offspring and don't for
get the president claims to have known
this also and I charge that the political
allies, Hearst and Roosevelt know I acted
honestly.
First the Prairie Oil company gets Its
franchise In our state not from me, but
from Roosevelt's secretary of interior long
before the state had begun and had its
main line built and operating, and congress
In our statehood bill was careful to declare
that our new state when organized must
respect all such vested rights and existing
franchises. That was all I did and the
federal courts stood ready to call me down
If I violated the Rnosevelt territorial fran
chise. Now Mr. President, why did your secre
tary of Interior grant what you know to be
a Standard Oil pipe line franchise, in our.,
then helpless territory, and fasten It on
our new state by e provision of the state
hood bill? Will Mr. Hearst or the presi
dent please answer?
HCMBOLDT. Neb., Sept. 2t.-(Special .)
In spite of the fact that farmers are still
busy and many of - theme were attending
the St. Joseph tournament, a good sited
crowd gathered this afternoon to hear Hon.
E. J. Burkett. Cnlted States senator. The
weather was all that could be desired and
the audience listened with close attention
to the line of Ihought of the speaker, who
was accompanied by Rob Cain, Jr., of
Stella, candidate for state senator, who
also spoke to the crowd.
8enator Burkett urged his hearers not to
lose sight of the Importance of this election
becnuse of any feeling of state pride. He
also urged them not to be misled Into be
lieving that a democratic president could
not do anything harmful on account of the
fact that there will be a republican senate.
Continuing along this line, he said:
"1 speak of this because occasionally we
hear somebody assuring us that Mr.
Bryan's election could not harm the coun
try because there Is sure to be a republican
senate for four years yet, and Bryan has
assured us that he will not take a second
term. In fact, Mr. Bryan In his Des Moines
speech, Intimated that he could not do very
much of harm because congress changes
every two years and If they do not like his
way of doing things they can change."
The senator submitted the fact that It was
not a very commendable argument to say
the least, and a doubtful compliment to Mr.
Bryan, yet he suspected that some votes
would be won by that argument. Continu
ing, he said:
There are people who want Just that
sort of a condition, a condition where noth
ing of legislation oan be accomplished. Mr.
Bryan would not sign a protective tariff
measure that a republican congress would
enact, and a republican congress would not
enact a free trade tariff bill that Mr. Bryan
would sign, and between the two we would
get no tariff revision. The result would be
disastrous In every place where legislation
is affected by party policies. In all the
history of this country, state and national.
there has never been any exceptionally good
legislation where the legislative and execu
tive branches were of different political
parties."

The senator was In good form and for
more than an hour and a half held the
closest attention of his audience In o pre

argumentative and the accomplishment of

statute books. The democratic plan of

plainly presented that the dullest school

This is the second day of the Dawson
county fair and the crowds of people In at

the fair. The exhibits In the line of farm
products are astonishing, when one takes
Into consideration the hot. dry weather of

beets, cabbage and cauliflower are so much
In evidence that the spectator wonders how
anyone can for a moment discredit the
statement that Dawson county is a verita
ble paradise for those crops that go to sup
ply the appetite of the Inner man, while
the display of wheat, corn, . barley and

out personal Interest at all. and especially
he should have said that It la quite ap
parent that these who are being sued In
those land cases claim to be and apparently
are, the victims of political chicanery which
the president can better explain than I.
In short, the president and Mr. Hearst
picked the wrong man and are now driven
into ward politics rattier than surrender
like men.
The president assumes that all Oklahomans
are grafters Just because his territorial as
sixiates lustifled that name; that all ex
ratlroad contractors are bad Just because
Paul Morton needed his protecting arm;
that we all In Oklahoma violate the civil
service law Just because Mr. Roosevelt re
moved the best 1'nited States marshal we
ever had. the only reason being that he
voted for a good democrat Instead of a
had republican and then the president ap
pointed his cousin to fill the vacancy.
As to the rights of labor in a child labor
bill and my work In the Interest of labor,
Mr. President, please remember with me
Its do things. With you its talk only. You
are the same president who threatened to
turn down our constitution because it pro
vides a Jury tcTal in rertain contempt rases.
Don't forget. Mr. President. I flatly dared
you to make that objection. But as the
price of your approval you did compel us to
cut out the prohibition of removal of per
sonal injury cases against foreign corpora
tions from state to federal courts, and sev
eral other good provisions that would bene
fit humanity and curb special Interests.
Not content with your own threats against
our constitution, you sent Secretary Taft
here to speak in our campaign a year ago
to induce the people to vote down the best
legislation ever mritten. We remember that
we preserved Mr. Taft's speech. It differs
widely from his speeches of this year.
Knowing all these things, the president
must -pardon us for this taking Issue with
the occupant of the high office we ail re
spect. Let us hope that In the future he
will aprreclaie and preserve its dignity and
not try to-reflect upon the rharacter of an
bumble citizen. We fall tu concede his
fals H.iiion when he knoa it is false.
