natural resources so well qualify the

We pledge the passage Of a road

good system Of roads.
Schools
We recommend the education of the
people as absolutely essential to the
development Of this state, and to the
continuance of supremacy Of the dem
ocratic party. We pledge the party
to vigorously promote in every rea-
sonable way our public school system,

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
llieve 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 denounce and condemn the ma
tional republican party for the lavish
use of moneys belonging to the peo-
lple 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 eontribu-
tions Of money by these special inter-
ests have given such interests such
power over the republican party that
a remedy for national conditions I'M
der which the people suffer is impos-
sible through that party.
We appeal therefore to Hery good
! city who places patriotism above
commercialism, happiness and the vel
! fare Of the great body Of our produc
ing class above the enrichment Of th'
! few; and who believe in local self-gov
: eminent, to join us in a holy crusadl
: for the restoration Of the people t
s their rights.
e We enjoin upon the advocates 0
h democracy that they treat with sep
; cial respect those of our fellow citi
n zens who by environment, affiliatiol
G or by other reasons have heretofor
n affiliated with other parties, and W
: urge them to use only sound argumen
e in appealing to their reason and
e use the force of courtesy and kind
e ness in persuading them to join Us j
n the great task of restoring to the An
4 erican people their rights to the pui
n suits Of happiness.
