pEMocRATIc 10 LIE coRE.

The constitutional convention looks
very much like great Democratic
rally, which in truth it is. The fra
ternal feeling that pervades the mem
bers is ominous of their future work.
The greatest harmony prevails. All
are intent on the great work the pee.
pie have laid upon them both as in.
diyiduals and representatives of gen
uine go,d old Jenersonlan Democracy.
Jefferson stood for the very largest
liberty of the individual consistent
with organized government He be-
lieved in the people and trusted them.
He opposed Capitalization in govern
mental matters and believed that the
government should always stand very
near the whole people. With this the
people of Oklahoma are clearly in ac-
cord. They have registered their de-
sire by sending almost exclusively
coed broad minded Democrats to
this convention.
A glance at the personnel OF this
convention Is very assuring. Never
before In these territories has there
ever assembled a body Of men of such
evident ability They are Of the very
best 5'ood and brains of the new
state, and strictly American in every
particular The whole territory and
the Democratic party in particular
have made wise choice, as the fu-
tme OF this honorable body will dem,
onstrate
Every man of them will stand by
his constituents, but will not be un.

owes 70 ihe whole people whose sover-
eighty he now represents. There is
not man among them that would
