Wireless Telephones for British War

The British admiralty have made all
arrangements for installing wireless
telephones in some of the vessels of

1t is claimed that by these wireless tel

on between two vessels that are thirty
miles apart.

telephones are clear and distinct, and

National lsaNes

We hereby express our allegiance
to the great principles Of government
advocated by the national democratic
party, upon which we believe the fu-
ture welfare Of this republic must
depend.
We reaffirm our allegiance to that
greatest living exponent Of democratic
principles, William Jennings Bryan,
and endorse him for our presidential
nominee in 1908.
We emphatically demand the reason
able and proper control of transpor-
tation and transmission companies and
/ the supervision and control Of all en-
terprises engaged in interstate com
merce.
We favor the improvement Of the
waterways Of the Missouri valley and
the establishment ow water transpor-
tation wherever practical throughout
the Union.
We believe that the patriotic ele-
ments Of the republican party are no
longer able to control or influence
that great political organism. We be-
lieve that the machinery Of the party
has fallen under the insidious influ-
enee Of the great plutOcratic power
and organized monopolies of this ma
ton.
We denounce and condemn the ma
tional republican party for the lavish
use Of moneys belonging to the peo-
pie Of Oklahoma in the reclamation
service in other states, and pledge
our members in our national congress
to use their best efforts to require the
clamation service to use the money be.
longing to Oklahoma in Oklahoma.
We belive that the vast contribu.
tions Of money by these special inter.
ests have given such interests such
power over the republican party thai
a remedy for national conditions un
der which the people suffer is impos
sible through that party.
We appeal therefore to every gocs
city who places patriotism above
commercialism, happiness and the wei
fare Of the great body Of our produc
ling class above the enrichment Of thl
few; and who believe in local self-gov
ernment, to join US in a holy erusad
for the restoration Of the people Il
their rights.
E We enjoin upon the advocates o
j democracy that they treat with sep
cal respect those Of our fellow citi
] zens who by environment, affiliatiol
E or by other reasons have heretofor

urge them to use only sound argumen
