B. S. Reeves, county surveyor; A. G. Kes-
sler, county weigher; o. P. Cooper, New
ton Jackson and John Schetrunp, county
commissioners. The following platform
was adopted:
THE Republican party of Logan coun-
ty assembled in county convention here
by proclaim a platform Of faith.
''We endorse in full the platform Of
the Republican party adopted at Phil
adelphia.
I'VE rejoice in the fulillment Of every
pledge made by the Republican party in
1896 and the Splendid results coming
therefrom to every frugal and energetic
citizen. The people are prosperous. La
Dor is plentious, and wages good. Prices
for farm products return a handsome
profit to the husbandman. The nation
internally and externally in all the ele-
ments Of greatness and prosperity is
greater than at any other period In its
history.
THE Republican party of Oklahoma
in 1898 pledged froee homes to the people
Of the territory The people believed in
this pledge They elected Hon. D. T.
Flynn by a majority of eleven thousand.
Now the honesteader realizes the fruit
OF his faith. He has his home free. Not
only has he his home free. but the open
ing Of the Kiowa and Comanche country
through the energy of Mr.. Flynn, gives
opportunity for thousands of other home
seekers. Every pledge made by the Re-
publican party in 1898 In this territory has
been carried out.
'@Ue endorse Hon. a T. Flynn as the
representative of all the great issues adj
vocated and carried out by the Repub-
lican party in Oklahoma. The unanimity
of the people for his denomination ano
the gratitude of the people for the work
splendidly done attest the accomplish
ment of Mr.. Flynn and the Republican
party Of this territory
I'VE endorse the territorial and feder-
al administration of Oklahoma The ter
ritory has never stood so high abroad as
now. The territorial tax levy has been
reduced. More school land money has
been collected under this administration
than under all previous ones. The good
name and resources Of the territory have
been heralded aborad. by the incompara-
BILE reports Of Governor Barnes. bring
ing thousands Of industrious farmers and
business men to share in the development
and progress of our country.
We extendvfo the relatives Of the, late
Captain R. B. Huston our sincere condo
lence over the deatht of that gallant
soldier in the Philippines who was
among the first of Logan county and this
territory to offer his services IN the cause
of his country. His spotless and chivil-
Gus life will remain a sacred memory
no Of
Republican government in Logan coun-
ty has shown itself conspicuously SUI
perior to the hybrid administrations of
the county in its earlierdays. The large
fusion government has been reduced and
the remainder funded into four and one
half per cent bond. The county is upon
cash basis. No new debts are being
created The tax levy Of ten mills for
county purposes is the lowest OF any
county levy in Oklahoma, and assess
ments are equitable. The county is be-
ing handled by business men with good
business judgment.
The Republican party stands upon the
record in this territory, and county and
in the nation. 1t invites discussion upon
the merits OF its politics II gives cor
dia Invitations to all who believe in
progress; who believe the negroes Of this
country Of this country as worthy OF
