Fulfilment Of Pledges.
In the constitution which we sub
nit we call attention to the import
ant fact that we have faithfully car
ried out every pledge made 30 the
people ia the last campaign We
unreservedly endorse the action OF
the Democratic n,ajorlty in It's faith
, ful compliance Ia drawing the consti-
tuition I'm accordance with our pledges
90 the people, and we believe hat the
Democratic party, If now entrusted
with power In the administration OF
the state government, will faithfully
enforce execute and carry into effect
every principle Of the constitution as
adopted by the people and strict
enforcement OF every law enacted by
the people or legislature of .his
state.
National Issues.
We hereby express our allegiance
TO the great principles OF govern
ment advocated by the national Dem
ocratic party upon which we believe
the future welfare OF the Republic
must depend.
We reaffirm our allegiance TO that
greatest living exponent of Demo
| cratic principles, William Jennings
Bryan. and endorse him for our Pres
idential nominee in 1908
We emphatically demand the rea.
sonable and proper control OF trans
portation and transmission companies
and the supervision and control Of
all enterprises engaged in interstate
commerce
We favor the Improvement Of the
waterways OF the Mississippi valley
and the establishment of water trans.
poriation wherever practicable
throughout the Union.
We believe that the patriotic ele-
ment Of the Republican party are
no longer able 90 control or greatly
iufluence that great political organ
ism We believe that the machinery
IN that part has fallen under the in
sidious influence Of the great pluto
cratic powers and organized monopo-
lies Of this nation
We denounce and condemn the ma
| tlOnal Republican party for the Law
| ish use Of money belonging To the
people OF Oklahoma Ia the reclama-
ton service in other states. and
| pledge our members IN our national
congress 10 use their best efforts 10
require the reclamation service 10
use the money belonging 10 Oklahpma
in Oklahoma
We believe that the vast contrihu-
tons OF money b. these special IN.
terests have given snch interests
such power over the Republican party
that a remedy for national conditions
under which the people suffer IS i'm.
possible through that party.
We appeal therefore, to every good
/ olflzen Who places patriotism above
oOmmefcialism, happiness and the
welfare OF the great body OF our pro
dncing classes above the enrichment
Of the few; ana who believes IN local
selfgoyernment. to join as IN a nOly
crusade for the restoration 10 the peO

We enlOin upon the advocates Of
Democracy that they treat with spe
cial respect those OF our fellow cifi
zcns who by environments. affilisilon
or by any other reasons have hereto
fore affiliated with Oihel parties. and
we urge them only 10 use sound argu
