see the party 90 down to defeat and
keep itself from STOPPING to one

Fof wisest economy in the state and
nation. The last session of Congress,
for quality and extent of business
done, stands forth the greatest ses-

American supremacy on land and on
sea. Foraker and Cannon, Republi-
can statesmen, together engineer the
cause of statehood and establish our
independence as free common
wealth. Results make votes and,
therefore, Oklahoma will be found
in the Republican column. The new

more to you of the Indian Territory
than it has ever meant to us of Ok
