' Lalley-Light Spells Convenience on Every Farm Gonemflnr‘mt is 27 inches long, 14 inches wide, 21 inches high. Storage * battery is included in complete outfit. ADVERTISEMENTS LLEY-LIGH ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER FOR EVERY FARM A ) 0 N N i R Toeo Plasits In Ono At the Cost of One Lalley-Light, in effect, is two elec- tric light plants for the price of one. For it provokes two sources of light and power, both reliable and effi- cient, One of these is the storage battery. The other is the electric generator. Current used direct from the gen- erator—giving bright, steady light, . without a flicker—does not pass through the battery. That is an economy, for the life of the battery is prolonged. Sk When only a few lights are required, it is more economical to draw cur- rent from the battery, with the gen- erator idle. Few, if any, other plants afford this optional use of generdtor and bat- tery. Lalley-Ligfit bririgs to your farm electricity in its simplest, safest, y . surest form. Its reliability is estab- lished by nearly eight years of suc- cessful, every-day farm use. It'is so simple that even your boy or girl can run it and give it all the care it needs. The engine, direct-conected to the generator, starts when a button is pressed.

These are distinct Lalley-Light ad- vantages, over and above the great comfort and convenience—the per- fect safety and the proved economy —of electric light and power. On thousands of farms Lalley-Light keeps the young folks contented; it is a boon of comfort to the old folks. -Its light is always ready—waiting, in a flood, for the turn of a.switch— in house, barn and outbuildings, Its power is ample to pump water and to run much of the smaller farm machinery—decreasing labor inside and outside the house.

He said that Taft came as a member of the president’s official family. : “But when he comes next time,” said Frantz, “it will not be as a member of . that family, but as head of it.” Taft, recognized as the personal po- litical representative of Roosevelt, de- voted his entire speech, and a long one, too, to advising Oklahoma voters to vote down their constitution. It was “radical,” he said, referring to the initiative and referendum. It was “no ° constitution at all.” It was “Bour- bonism and despotism flavored with socialism.” He spoke particularly against an anti-monopoly provision. He said it was “likely to frighten capi- tal away.” In this connection he said that a ‘consolidation of railroads, re- cently effected in the East by the Van- - derbilts, had proved a “very -good thing.” He devoted a large part of his speech to attacking the anti-injunction plank of the constitution and came out flatly for government by injunction. What did the people of Oklahoma do about it? ‘What the people of Oklahoma did throws a great deal of light upon na- tional political history during the last 10 years. . The people of Oklahoma voted for the conmstitution, initiative and referendum, public ownership, anti-monopoly, anti-injunction and all. They . rolled more than 100,000 for the con- stitution. As a result of the fight of the farmers and working men, in selecting progressive men as dele- gates to the state convention, Okla- homa undoubtedly has the most-ad- vanced and broadest constitution in the. United States today.. TAFT KEPT TO THE ROAD THAT HE WAS STARTED UPON But what about Roosevelt and Taft and national politics? Well; .Roose- velt’s plan of making Taft president of the United States went through in 1908 with a whoop. Taft, a big, fat, good natured man, thought Roosevelt had given him the right “dope” when he sent him out to Oklahoma to speak against the Oklahoma constitution, So he wents on in the same way that his master had started him, through the four years of his administration, opposing the initiative and referendum, upholding injunctions, upholding the rights of the railroads and of vested interests. He believed in Roosevelt, who had made him president and had started him in his opposition to popu- lar rule. ‘ . R But during the four years of Taft’s administration the people of the Unit- ed States began to wake up. initiative and referendum grew to be popular. -The trusts got too raw with their work and the people began to. seB that some means must be taken to curb them:, - Roosevelt, who had been wise enough to keep from going on record publicly when “the initiative and referendum fight was up in Oklahoma, was given an idea of how the people thought about it when they adopted the Okla- homa constitution with 100,000 major- ity. [He still kept. silent, but multi- blying evidences of the people’s ap- proval were given, all over the country, BUT T. R.
