F.SALTSMAN, Cashier NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PRESS BUREAU AND STATE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE BUREAU Too Big For a Few. Oklahoma City, April disclosures at Washington bear unmistakable evidence that no one or two members of the present cabinet had either the ability or temerity to pull off the gigantic exploitation that must now be attributed to the present officialdom of the Washington government, therefore the charge made by James W. Gerard, president Wilson's ambassador to the German court, to the effect that Secretary of State Hughes betrayed this nation and Armenia in return for the Chester Oil concession by Turkey, has not caused more than ordinary interest. Those who are apprised of the fact 'that the $25,000,000 steal, voted to pay Columbia for alleged damages over the Panama $anal, but which were in fact paid for the rights of a great oil concern in the South American country, had a left over in New York and Washington will refuse to be disconcerted because of revelations concerning the Turkish oil concession. In truth, the thoughtful person will not be surprised at any oil story anent the actions, of the Harding cabinet, nor is there the least cause for thinking that Fall, Daugherty and Denby were a trmmirate to do monetary harm to the public.

The charges against Hughes and Secretary of War Weeks, loom up huge at the moment, and it must not be for gotten that Secretary of Treasury Mellon is also under fire at the present time, and his tax reductions for the rich are still pending in the congress. This recalls that old story of Frank Vanderlip, who at Ossining, New York, made a sensational speech, but when called before the oil investigating committee of the senate, said all that he had was-plain At the time those on the inside knew that something happened to the Vanderlip perspective on his journey from the New York village to the national capital, and since that time heaven and eartiTnave' been shaken with ugly rnmors con- cermng forces. the entire administrative Even former Attorney- General Daugherty threatened, in a statement concerning Senator Pepper, to play Sampson and pull down the temple, even though it destroy the republican party and himself along with the others. Perhaps much of the purported facts brought out before the various senate investigating committees is erroneous and.the people are inclined to give. the accused the benefits of every possible doubt, but the outstanding fact that the administration started off from the beginning be holden to the.

great money plun- derbund and ran true to form from the beginning, is patent to every observing Student of governmental affairs. That President knew nothing of these secret raids against the public may be admitted, but in making the admission, one will have to plead he is indeed a very shortsighted person, unfit for the trying executive in this troubulous era. Are we to understand that Colonel Ed Dyche, who conducted Jake Hamon's campaign for national committeeman and is now conducting Pine's campaign if or United States senate nomination by republicans, is to conduct the latter's campaign as lavishly as he did that of Mr. Hamon? If so, let the band play that good old selection "there's money hanging from the Investigation of United States Marshals Cooper and McDonald of-this state is only in line with everything else pertaining the present federal administration, and calls to mind that it will be cheaper and more effective to. turn out the entire administration than just one here and there.

Anyhow no proof has been submitted that ex-Attorney-General ever tried to realize by offering the Brooklyn bridge for sale. From such seepage as comes from Washington of the testimony of Oklahoma republicans before investigating committees, are we to infer that this out fit intends to conduct a reform campaign in Oklahoma this fall? Ex-Congressman Manuel Herrick of the Eighth Oklahoma district, asks for another and, to tell the truth, he is far harmful than a vast majority of republicans who have been at work there for the past three years. The allegation that Senator smothered President Harding's world court project calls mind that Lodge never has been caught smothering any of the grafter projects carried on by the present cabinet. McClean's Washington Post inquires what has.become of the great men of the republican party. Ned has been associating with them and their greatness has departed to return no more.

Harry Daugherty's newspaper article demanding is one of the recent notable contributions to American humor. Getting a "Stone" in the office of the department of justice is really not an innovation, for has not the place been loaded heavily for three years past? From his testimony at Wash-, ington, it is evident that Ed Dyche did not leave the warden- ship at Atlanta prison until the pay attachment flickered. If the stories told by Dyche and Frazier, wardens at the Atlanta prison, are true, why- not make Representative Krunston of Minnesota warden, and try to re form the inmates of" the pfisdtf and also the guards around the prison? Running for a democratic primary nomination on, an antidemocratic platform is not conducive to pleasure in hot summer months. Colonel Adams, member of the republican national' committee, from Oregon, and Governor Preuss of Minnesota have from a tour of the, country and reported to President Coolidge that the third party movement is growing, and that Senator La? Follette at the head of the thirdJ party ticket can carry the states of Wisconsin; Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Nebraska and Colorado, calls to mind a previous statement that those who believe in those isms will do well to have a party of their own, and to operate openly and honestly. Oklahoma, George Wilson will: be on the senatorial ticket as a third party and it is expected that he" will carry with him thousands of men have become convinced that economic ills can be cured by legislative The movement had supporters at the El Reno convention, where the platform was made to suit such ideas, but those in charge concluded to stay in the old parties and endeavor to take control of one or both of them.

It is now rather generally conceded that the -republicans who were once listed as standpatters were really "fatters" very firmly believed in leasing and subleasing where it would the largest ranches at the highest possible costs. That silence you hear is only Senator J. W. Harreld of Oklahoma telling the people about the honest administration of national affairs. It is rather unkind but nevertheless true to say that the republicans favor the nomination of President Coolidge through fear that if they nominated any republican he would be fount 1 in the employ of Colonel D.oheny^.

But after all the fuss and: fame, what promise can be from the republicans? race for re-election as sheriff. Mr. Moore says he is neither running on the klan ticket noc anti-klan ticket, but that he is making the race strictly on the Democratic ticket. Nor is he running on the demerits of any of his opponents, but that he is making the race on the record he has made since serving the people as sheriff, and on this record and as a Democrat he most earnestly solicits and will highly appreciate the vote and influence of the citizens throughout th.e, county.
