National Issues
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-
ence of the great plutocratic power
and organized monopolies Of this ma
ton.
We denounee 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 that
remedy for national conditions un-
der which Che people suffer is impos-
sible through that party.
We appeal therefore to every good
city who places patriotism above
commereialism, happiness and the vel
fare Of the great body Of our produc-
ing class above the enrichment Of the
few; and who believe in local self-gov
eminent, to join us in holy crusade
for the restoration of the people to
their rights.
We enioin upon the advocates Of
democracy that they treat with sep
cial respect those of our fellow citi-
zens who by environment, affiliation
or by other reasons have heretofore
affiliated with other parties, and we
urge them to use only sound argument
in appealing to their reason and to
use the force Of courtesy and kind
ness in persuadiny them to join us in
the great task Of restoring to the Am
erican people their rights TO the pur.

MAE WOOD VS.. PLATT.
She Has Instituted an Action Against
the New Yorker.

New York, Feb. 27.-Suit has been
brought in the supreme court in this
city by Miss Mae Catherine Wood
against United States Senator Thomas
c. Platt, and there is every likelihood
that it will create sensation when it
comes to trial.
AS the case now stands the complaint
and the answer have been served, and
unless the lawyers go into court with
some motion, the suit cannot be heard
until it is reported on the calendar
for trial.
Miss Wood, who now is at Colon,
Mich, is quoted as saying:
81 instituted the divorce proceedings,
Dec. 81 last in New York, against
Senator Platt through my attorney,
Mr.. O'Flaherty. I have named sixteen
women as correspondents. The trial
will disclose crimes of various kinds,
including robberies and perhaps at
tempted assassination"
