"star-spangled piece of crookedness...
:46:03
"ever played under the wing
of a double-dealing government."
:46:05
- We can't print that.
- And why not?
:46:07
This isn't the Cimarron country.
It's the State of Oklahoma.
:46:10
You can't slur the government.
It's treason.
:46:12
It's history.
:46:13
I don't blame the government
for crooked politicians' tricks.
:46:16
I'll show them.
I'll stop them if it's the last thing I ever do.
:46:20
- But...
- Furthermore...
:46:21
the time has come
to give the red man full citizenship...
:46:25
so he can live as free
as the white man lives.
:46:27
Citizenship for Indians.
Give them the vote.
:46:30
The people here would mob you.

A prophet is never without honor,
save in his own country.
:46:34
You could be one of the greatest figures
in this nation.
:46:37
You are if you don't throw it away.
:46:39
If you print that article,
you'll never be governor.
:46:42
Never.
:46:44
I've forgiven you many things
in the past 10 years, Yancey Cravat...
:46:47
but I'll never forgive you that.
:46:51
Oh, yes, you will, sugar.
:46:53
Never is a long time.
:46:56
Not while I'm alive, maybe...
:46:58
but someday you'll be able to turn back
to the old files...
:47:01
and read this article
and be glad it was printed.
:47:06
No, I have some position
to maintain in this community.
:47:09
- I have some voice in this paper.
- I know that.
:47:11
Well, then I say you won't print it,
not in these columns.
:47:28
When you take my name off
and put yours in its place...
:47:33
you'll be editor of this paper.
:47:36
Until you do that, sugar, I am.
