DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL
PLATFORM.

The Democrats Of Oklahoma, in ter
rltorial convention assembled, re-af-
firm their allegiance to the principles
of Democracy as expounded by Thomas
Jefferson and enforced by Andrew
Jackson and made illustrious by a
long line OF Democratic presidents, and
we heartily endorse he Democratic
platform adopted at our recent natiGn.

ination of those pure, patriotic, able.
ana fearless statesmen and leaders. Al
tor y. Parker and Henry G. Davis for
president and vice president of these
United States, and we believe that un.
der thoir leadership the government Of
this nation win be restored to Demo
cratic control and administered under
Democratic economy and fidelity.
We declare our answering fidelity
and devotion to that fearless tribune
Of the people and champion of popular
rights. William Jennings Bryan twice
the matchless leader OF the party and
express our conviction that We can
safely follow where he leads in the
support Of our party nominees and
platform declarations.
Joint Statehood Affirmed.
We re-afiirm the statehood PLANK Of
our. platform adopted at the Enid cons
vention two years ago and again de
clare that the dominant issue. as long
as We remain territory, IS and must
OF necessity continue TO be the state
hood question. We reiterate that we
favor the immediate creation of state
out OF Oklahoma and Indian territories
on far and equal terms. because the
material interests OF the people Of both
territories demand it and the over
whelming majority Of the people of
both territories desire It, and the right
of such majority to rule Is one OF the
fundamental! aripciples Of the Demo
cratic party. Therefore we declare that
we have a right to demand Of he ma
tional congress the immediate passage
Of such a joint statehood bill
We congratulate the Democratic
party of Oklahoma in the successful
fight which II has made for single
statehood. and in forcing the Republl-

pleased to say that progress is being
made as rapidly as can be reasonably ex-

such law, for they tumbled from it in
almost every town, reducing the number
of towns licensed from 90 to 40, and in
many cases, especially that of Rutland.
showing remarkable change in public
sentiment.
The lesson of all this is plain. First
that the people do not want prohibition.
Second, that they want still less high
license, and third that they would like
to try, and try at once, State Control
system with local option which they be-
lieve will prove satisfactory to the great
majority of our citizens.
If this is true, and we see no reason to
doubt it, there should be no hesitation
among the leaders of public opinion in
either party to advocate such a system,
and to strive to meet the wishes of the
people in its adoption at the earliest
opportunity.
This we believe to be the test of good
leadership. The elimination of priva tie
gain in the sale of liquor thereby cutting
off all advertisement, and the reduction
of the number of places in which it is sold,
when the citizens of town vote to
allow its sale, we believe make such
a law practically the soundest possible in
the interests of temperance. In the pur-
chase of the liquors by the State, all of
which will be tested by proper author
tiles, we have an assurance of the best
quality of liquors. And third, we think
it will be unchallenged that, if there is
any employment which for prudential
reasons cannot be thrown open to all, and
from which of necessity there is a very
large profit, it should be managed by
the State, and the profits divided equally
among the people.
How large these profits are may be
guessed from the following among a
number of other similar instances that
have been brought to our notice; One
of the leading citizens of Woodstock,
whom we met on the train in trip to
Boston, told us that the bank account of
the party licensed to sell liquor at Wood
stock showed that the sales averaged
above $1,000 a week Again at Mont
pelier we were told that the sales of a
third class license as shown also by de-
posts at a bank, amounted to $4,000 in
seven months. And that when this
license was revoked with certain lee-way
given for the business to he closed up,
the party instead of returning the liquors
to the wholesale dealers which by agree
ment he was permitted to do at the prices
paid for them, dropped the price one
half, and showed them; showing con-
clusively that he made over 100 per cent.
The profits of the sale of liquors in
South Carolina for 1903 We're about $780,,
600. Quite recently Senator Beverage of
Indiana in a speech in the Senate stated
that the profits from the sale of liquors
accruing to the Russian government,
which for number of years has had
government regulation throughout their
Empire, would pay all the expenses of
their war with Japan.

The Register regrets to see that a per-
sonal plank has been injected into the
county Republican platform, undertake
ing to dictate to the Republican voters
whom they shall elect as United States
Senator, when the proper time comes for
such election. OF course this was done
by the party most directly interested,
and is perhaps especially out Of place
because this gentleman and his methods
were badly discredted by the Republi-
can party at their last election.
Bossism of all kinds is most distasteful
to Vermonters. They wear their SOW
ereignty under their hats, and in all
respects eabundantly able at the proper
time to select candidates for any office.

Here's something new! Isn't it reason
able to expect that a medicine that con-
tains ingredients that act on every vital
organ is sure to strike the diseased spot?
And that when it finds it, if it is power
full and scientifically formulated will
regulate and drive disease from this
affected spot? That's the new principle

diseases, (tumors and cancers eXcepted)
