Mr. Leary, I've known
all about your scheme for weeks...
:45:05
and I think it's the dirtiest,
filthiest piece of politics...
:45:08
that ever came into
the State of Oklahoma...
:45:10
and I'll smash you
and everybody connected with it...
:45:12
- before I'm through with you.
- You ain't coming in, then?
:45:17
Then I'll smash your chances
for governor...
:45:20
and I can do it, too.
:45:33
Yancey, you know about Cim and Ruby.
:45:37
We can't live our children's lives
for them, honey.
:45:40
Listen to this, the lead for tomorrow.
:45:43
"The demagogues plan to rob them again.
:45:46
"Stealing the vast ocean of oil gushing up
through the miserable, barren land...
:45:49
"known as the Osage Indian reservation...
:45:51
"again victimizing those duped and
wretched Americans, the Osage Indians.
:45:56
"Their treaties broken, their land stolen...
:45:58
"and now there's about to burst forth
the gaudiest...
:46:01
"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.
:46:31
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...
