I appreciate the Magazine and feel that it is one of the best. I am a Populist and took great pleasure in casting my vote for you at the last election, knowing at the time that the chances for success were bad. Yet I cast the vote with as great pride and satisfaction as if I had known you would be elected. I know how to sympathize with a defeated candidate as I myself ran on the Populist ticket for Representative against the noted Zuba King—the wealthiest man in De Soto County and one connected with one or more of the best banks of the country, and got beaten, of course, but I was not whipped but beaten by the money crowd and I believe as strongly in the principles of the Populist Party as I ever did. I am just the same today. * * * * * _W. Scott Samuel, Pawhuska, Okla._ Thinking that TOM WATSON’S MAGAZINE might like to hear from a locality where politics “rules the court, the camp, the grove,” I relate this little incident. A few weeks ago, when the town sites of the Osage reservation were to be opened for sale and an auctioneer appointed to sell the lots, the news was published that a certain man, Amos Ewing, had received the appointment of auctioneer. Now, the reputation of this man, Ewing, is a stench in the nostrils of every honest man in Oklahoma. From petty defalcations to embezzlement of trust funds, which he was forced to disgorge, comes the reputation of the versatile and oleaginous Amos. And so, when it was known that our great “square deal” bear hunter had through his secretary named Amos for this promotion of trust and emolument, it was not long before the mails were loaded with protests from different localities in Oklahoma where the seductive Amos had exercised his peculiar grafts. Did it do any good? Alas for the square deal! When the sale of lots commenced at Pawhuska this creature, Ewing was in the position that should have been filled by some one at least not a self-convicted grafter, and _he’s there yet_, and all the protests, charges, etc., filed against him are as though they never happened. How’s that for the “square deal”? In conclusion, permit me to compliment TOM WATSON’S MAGAZINE for its fearless _exposé_ of moral rottenness in high places. Hoping the good work will go on, I desire to share in the glory of the time when its principles shall prevail. * * * * * _Malcolm B. Webster, Atlantic City, N. J._ I have been an interested and delighted reader of your Magazine for some time past, and feel that I am getting from it a political, social and economic education such as I should not have known where to look for else. While still but very young, I have long felt that I could say upon the above subjects: “Myself, when young, did eagerly frequent Doctor and saint, and heard great argument About it and about—but evermore came out By the same door wherein I went.”
