will be in Guthrie all the time to di
rect the work, A press bureau will b,
established at Once. MIR. Costello o

actively from now on to the state cleo
ton"
The republicans are now in a posi-
ton TO enter the campaign with Ger
tainty of SUCCESS. The people are un
doutedly dissatisfied with the mamie
in which affairs are being administers,
and are now ready 10 trust the admin
istration of state affairs to the repub
lican party. The people are tired o
democratic depression, and demagog
ucry."
THE democratic party has faile,
thus far to keep pledges made by it
members in the platforms upon whicl
they were elected to the constitutions
convention. They cannot keep on,
half OF the pledges made and witt
which they falsely bought the homes
suffrage of the people of oklahoms
They will fail to keep their promise
with reference TO the liquor traffic
By thsir platforms and campaign no
air they have sworn that if sent al
here To make the constitution tina
they would dispose of the race question
nee and forever. And will they dc
it.2 They haven't done it and the,
will not. In Oklahoma they wer,
elected upon platforms declaring il
disfayor Of county divisions, yet il
every instance where it was possibl,
they have divided Oklahoma counties
and contrsdicted their promises to the
people. They have given the people
of these counties the most unjust
treatment capable of coming from the
hand of man, and hat by the use OF
Doodle"
The constitutional convention will
fail to investigate these charges OF
graft and il they do, il will be under
the watchful eye of those interested
and nothing will result except a mock
e~xoneration."
Mr.. Wells who lives at Ardmore in
the Chickasaw nation said
II think the chances for republican
success is very bright. will give at
least one half Of my time from now on
for the benefit of the party's interest.
