OKLAHOMA LETTER. Chateau, Okla., Nov. 9, 1908. Editor Democrat:—As the election is over and all is settled, I will extend congratulations to the democrats of Jasper and Newton counties for the great* gains they achieved. While I think that the democrats of my home county— Newton —could have done better than to give Taft 449 majority while Watson only received 264, it appears to me that there must have been something wrong, somewhere. But Jasper county and the state as a whole is surely to be congratulated on tne good work they did. Oklahoma is still in the democratic ranks by from 10,000 to 20,000, and the House will be democratic, insuring the election of Thomas Pryor Gore, the blind- senator. We lost our congressman from this 3d district, but Mayes county stood solid for Bryan. Talk the bank guarantee law to your readers, for it is one of the best laws in existence today. It is a boon to the poor people of Oklahoma —of which there are many—and it will apply as well to Indiana. Since the passage of this law in the new state there has been more money than there ever was before, as the money came to our banks from all over our adjoining states. Kansas, dur sister republican state, on the north, was, quick to apprehend that the money was going from her banks to the Oklahoma banks, and the republican state platform contained a plank in favor of Bank Guarantee Deposits. All the laws that were submitted to the people with the exception of the Billups Bill—providing for the state dispensary—carried satisfactory. But the liquor people gained a point in killing this bill.

L While the nltuatlon is such that it is hard to accept, I am proud to say that I have voted three times for the greatest man living today, a man that will be remembered in history after Taft, Teddy and the “big stick’’ are forgotten. And as for voting for him again/ I will if I get a chance. ' Yours respectfully, L/ B. F. ROMINE.
