and dead, who have marched beneath
the Republican standard, forever en-
richmg the history Of mankind with
acts Of valor; the mute, inglorious
millions of prosperous toiling men

The Republican party is the party

night to have in this meeting repre-
sentatives Of an ancient race of
kings, who will be found marching
with us shoulder to shoulder in the
Republican party. Original pioneer.

habitant of the American continent, it
is upon his hearthstone we are build
ing a great commonwealth to-day.
The American Indian, standing on
the threshold of a new freedom soon
to enjoy full rights of citizenship
intelligent in his power of choice, in
dependent in action with the ballot in
his hand will be found regeristing at
the polls his faith in Republican prin-
ciples. Removal of restrictions and
the dissolution of tribal relations
will bring for the Indian prosperity
immeasurable "Give the Indian
white mans chance" is the wish
and feeling of all Republicans in
Oklahoma. The Republican party is
the natural affiliation for the Indian
in Oklahoma.
The Republican party is the party
of the farmer and the miner citizens
of field and forge. In this connection
we have to remind ourselves Repub-
licans ofGthe new state that the back
bone and chief glory of the Republi-
can party has been the multitude of
its farmers and miners who make up
the strength of American civilization.
The greatest statesmen and leaders
the nation has ever known were farm
er Republicans. Washington, Web
ster, Lincoln were not only boys on
the farm, but to the end of life re.
mained brother with the brother
farmers and rested their faith in the
farmers of the country to save the
nation. In this day under a Repub
lean administration the tariff is regu-
lated at the command and in the in
terest Of the farmer and the miner.
The Republican party protects the
rights of the farming and mining
classes by passage of freight rate
legislation. The Republican party is
building the Panama canal which
will do more for the farmer and
miner of Oklahoma of the great
Southwest than any other single in
fluence in the world | refer to the
new market in the Orient for our
surplus produce. Be not deceived,
my friend. In this day of newspaper,
magazine and Rural free delivery,
popular education is so rapid that a
six months campaign is more than
ample time to bring these unanswer
able facts to the attention of the
hundreds of thousands of voters in
the new state. Is it any wonder we
feel certain of Republican triumph
in Oklahoma? Democratic politics
with its shortsighted policies and
promises, cannot endure before the
intelligent gaze of a million and a
aalf enlightened people We are
moving in this day at too rapid

tion, information. facts are our Re-
