THE ISSUE.

The issue before the people Of Okla.
homa is simple: II is for or against
the constitution There is no middle
ground and no dodging. Words and
resolutions can not cloud It, It is
prescribed by the enabling act.
The democratic party stands for
the constitution. The party platform
Is un"quiyocally and straight.out for
the constitution. the constitution
was written by democrats by com.
mand of the people.
The other side of the issue Is
against the constitution This po
sition the republicans have occupied
for eight months.
II the republican party so desires
1t may abandon its position against"
the constitution and come over to the
Democratic position for" the consti.

no ifs aud no ands. The issue is hard
and fast The enabling act made I,

No amount of haggling can cloud
that issue. That is what pinchcs th'
republican toe AT Tulsa. There is no
picccmcal adoption of the cunstitu.

liked does not in the least cloud ar
