There are many conflicting views in
Oklahoma in 'reguard to dealing with
the constitution. Republicans, Demo
Gratis, Populists and Socialists are
mixed up on the question. There
seems 20 he much division of sentiment
in the Republican party as to the prop
er course to follow. Some are for
placing a ticket in the field, pointing
out the defects of the constitution,
showing its broken pledges and un-
redeemed promises and leave the mat
ter to the conscience of the voter as to
what he should do in regard to voting
for or against it. This class claim that
inasmuch as the constitution provides
that 1t can be amended 10y the initia-
tive process that it would be better to
run tho risk of an amendment than to
run the risk of defeating statehood.
There is provision in the constitution
which arranges for an amendment on
petition and direct vote of the people
without going to the legislature for
authority to submit an amendment
That provision is TO the effect that up

on petition containing the names of
fifteen per cent of the votes cast at the
last general election. the petition set
ting forth the matter to be amended
the governor shall submit the proposed
amendment, or amendments, to the
people and a majority vote shall de-
eide
Again there are Others who think it
is difficult matter to amend a consti-
ution after it is adopted, and that the
way to do is to put out ticket and at
the same time declare against the
adoption of the constitution. There
are others who do not want to put out
state ticket but want to go in and
fight the constitution, believing that it
can and should be defeated. One of
the plans proposed is very foolish. In
fact it is so ridiculous that if followed
the Republicans would be held up to
ridicule all over the proposed state.
That is to put out ticket and at the
same time declare against the adoption
of the constitution. 1t would be
double crossing the candidates and
asking them to make fight knowing
that if successful in the fight it would
mean their personal defeat Such a
plan is certainly foolish and unworthy
of consideration If the Republicans
are going to fight the adoption of the
constitution the only honest plan is to
come out in the open and fight it,.
Why go through the farce of placing a
ticket in the field, if the party is going
to fight the adoption of the constitu-
tion, and then start in to slaughter
that ticket. There is but one proper
way to work in politics and that way is
to be candid with the people If the
party is against the constitution fight
it like men. Do not play double with
the people Do not think that 10y
placing ticket in the field ard then
lighting the adoption of the constitu-
tion, the people will not resent the inn
position. Such course would carry
the constitution and defeat the Repub-
lican state ticket. 1t does not follow
that the party, if it places ticket in
the field need indorse the provisions of
that constitution. Two thirds of the
people of the new state are against
many of the vicious provisions of that
instrument 1t furnishes all the ma
terial the Republicans could ask for in
the way of campaign material.
If its adoption. however, is to be
made party matter, go into it right.

Do not be foolish about it. If a ticket
is placed in the field the only proper
course would be to pledge the party to
in the future undo the bad features
placed in the instrument by the franz
ers of that un-American instrument.
1t contains some good features and it
contains some very bad ones. There
are people who believe that The bad
features of the constitution can be
eliminated and there are tho Sc who
think differently That is matter for
decision.
The Republicans could not indorse
the constitution, nor could they re-
commend many of its provisi ons.
They could, however, if the prevailing
Judgment of the party is to put out a
ticket, consider the thing as an untill-
ished structure, full of rotten tinbe r
which they pledge themselves to recon-
struct. They conld show that the
builders who attempted to construct
the constitution had task which was
too blg for them. However, if tn
party is going to advise that the instru-
ment be turned down, do it right
