We will so far as possible perfect this organization in all the States.  I am owner and Editor of the ‘Hachet’ of Guthrie.  A paper on straight lines.  The paper is only 25c a year.  I ask all my friends to subscribe for this paper, by sending to ‘Hatchet’, or office of Prohibition Federation, Guthrie, Oklahoma.  I will publish full instructions in the Hatchet so that any prohibitionist so desiring, can perfect an organization in any vicinity.  This is in perfect harmony with all efforts for annihilation of the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors for any purpose.  The constitution gives all the largest liberty to do that which is right and none at all or the smallest to do that which is wrong.  I feel much relieved to. get into more definite work, rather than going hither and thither completing nothing substantial.

Almighty God and His people help this breaking heart.  “Give us Oklahoma or we die,” or are willing to die to save this land of the beautiful.  Oklahoma will be a leader.  We want a strait path to the election of a Prohibition President.  If we can make our efforts a success, in the territories, then this will be the greatest impetus all over.  We will not hinder any prohibition movement, we only go to the bottom, laying the ax (or hatchet) at the root of the tree, for we can not succeed by prohibiting intoxicants as a beverage alone, which is what the prohibition party up to this time propose to do.  Annihilation is the only principle or true definition of prohibition.  ’Tis dangerous to let any of it survive.  The advantages of being a resident of Oklahoma will be so great, that, like the promised land to the children of Israel, there will be an exodus from the Egyptain bondage.  The degraded and vicious will then leave the place where their facility of engaging in all villainy and corruption is gone, Mothers and Fathers often say, “O for a place where I can raise my children where there is no saloons!” Oklahoma will answer the cry.  What an outrage is perpetrated by this Rum-soaked government in not allowing us to have statehood!  There is a cause and the people will find it out Republicans know, that, when we do get statehood their allies the Trusts will not be allowed to rob us and that we will not be at their mercy and their appointees.  I beg the financial aid of all, with plenty of money we can publish literature showing up the horrors of a rum president.  Roosevelt’s strong hold is his duplicity and schemes.  He has signed the bill licensing the curse on the poor Alaskan.  This wholesale murder with the awful lie that it is to build schools and roads.  Oh, this gigantic murder Nero was not worse.
