I got so close that I could see the dickens in his eyes, and once he kinder winked at me which made my feelins rise.

I got piy feelins settled some by hangin to my brother when Baby knocked me deaf and dumb by handin out another. The way that feller knocked a fly would make a catbird sick. He didnt do it on the sly; he didnt do it quick. He coiled himsejf around the slab jist like a rattlesnake, and- when he come to make his stab, my land of goodness sake! he smashes it across the nose until I do declare the way thrt darn pillester goes a burnin through the air jist makes yer brain a whirling and freezes up yer THE POST PUBLISHING COMPANY Phone 125 West Center St. Entered at the Postoffice at Provo, Utah, NEPHI Cl asp HICKSul Second-clas- s -- One Year Six Months Matter.

STRIKES AT FREE GOVERNMENT I had rather go down in ignominious defeat than to see free government and free institutions stricken dead on the hearthstone of liberty and my state crumble and fall at the hands of this powerful secret organization. Either the Ku Klux Klan is wrong or the whole system and fabric of (his government, that has cpme to us as a priceless heritage, is wrong. The two are inimical. Both cannot stand. One must fall. 1 say. let the Klan fall. Rome was in far greater danger when Catiline sat smiling in the senate chamber than when he knocked with his army at her gates. The dangers of our state are from within and not from without. I want the people to help me recover from the enemy the four cardinal principles of our liberty: Free speech, free press, free worship of God and the right of trial by jury. With the rights gone our state would soon perish. If. the imperial-wizarover at Atlanta does not chloroform the conscience of the people of Oklahoma I will be nominated and elected. If I am elected attorney general I guarantee that this arch enemy of free government and free institutions will vanish from this state like mists before the rising sun. d and stay And thats something, for the mercury mounting already Palm Beaches $15.00 Up dont forget a nifty Straw thats the finishing touch of igood taste for summer. r Bros.
