The Weekly Chieftain prints a provocative piece by D. M. Marks Printing Company Publishers critiquing Governor Haskell and the Gore Investigation. The editorial expresses strong opinions on the inquiry and state politics, contrasting possible outcomes with current events in Vinita Oklahoma.
The Muskogee Phoenix outlines the Democratic ticket for governor to auditor and beyond, naming Ardmore, McAlester, Chickasha, Oklahoma City, and other locales. It comments on Gore charges, Brannan and Bryan, and notes crop prospects, tax issues, and political dynamics in Vinita, Craig county, and statewide elections.
The campaign for Congress now entering its phase is presented as the most significant battle from a partisan perspective, with supporters stressing energizing party efforts and the urgency of mobilization nationwide.
The piece notes Democrats must avoid lagging efforts as they push for strong showings in Congress. It highlights Governor Austin L. Crothers of Maryland signaling active backing, promising to appear and rally for Democratic candidates in close races. his speaking style and influence are expected to drive support.
The piece critiques Oklahoma Republicans for relying on a patronage machine and nominating three reactionary congressmen. It argues the party failed to align with the state’s development needs since 1906 and that renominating incumbents jeopardizes any gubernatorial bid amid a weak Haskell-era record. It questions party priorities and calls for reform to regain electoral viability.
William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette reports the fight in Kansas is won by freeing the state from East business influence. Taft is blamed for dragging into the conflict while Curtis and machine politics backed Stubbs, who won decisively as insurgents rejected standpatters.
The piece notes that Stubbs won by a larger margin than two years ago and frames the Taft vote as a political rebuke, not a core fault. It claims the tariff moral issue dominates and previews the state platform at Oklahoma City, predicting Tulsa World’s disapproval. It urges Craig county Democrats to rally, praising their ticket and forecasting Democratic victories in November. It closes with a 1910 notice of sale of real estate in Craig County under guardian Maudie Downing.
Guardians announce private sales of estates for Georgie Downing and Oliver Downing minors in Craig County Oklahoma. Auctions set for August 29 and August 22, 1910, with bids by cash and one third certified check, subject to County Court confirmation. Described land parcels include sections 42 and 38 in Township 26 North Range 93 East, and related NW SE quarter portions.
Oklahoma City's capital proposal would donate 2 000 900 dollars and 26 acres of school land to the state, with a 500 000 bond binding the contract. Critics point to 640 acres of school land and profits from lot sales, urging scrutiny of the capital site decision and political maneuvering amid Gore investigations and Republican campaigns. The Gore inquiry exposes Indian land fee patterns, while Judge McNeal's gubernatorial bid faces challenges. Pryor Creek state home gains Prof J C Matone as superintendent and the boys' home nears completion.
