Fultilment OF Pledges.
In the constitution which we sub
NIT we call attention to the import
ant fast that we have faithfully car
ried out every pledge made 10 the>
people in the last campaign We
unreservedly endorse the action OF
the Democratic majority IN its saith-
ful compliance m drawing the consii-
tuition in accordance with oiir pledges
TO the people, and we believe that hhe
Democratic party, r now entrusted
with powtr In the administration OF
the state government, will faithfully
enforce. execute and carry into effect
every principle of the consultation as
adopted by the people and a strict
enforcement of every law enacted ny
the people or legislature Of this
state.
National Issues.
We hereby express our allegiance
to the great principles of govern
ment advocated by the national DEM
ocratic party. upon which we believe
the future welfare of the Republic
must depend.
We reanrm our allegiance TO that
greatest living exponent OF Demo
cratic principles, William Jennings
Bryan. and endorse him for our Pres
idential nominee in 1908.
We emphatically demand the rea-
sonable and proper control Of trans
portation and transmission companies
and the supervision and control of
all enterprises engaged In interstate
commerce.
We favor the Improvement OF tha
waterways OF the Mississippi valley
and the establishment of water trans
| portation wherpre' practicable
| Throughout the Union.
We believe that the patriotic ele-
ment Of the Republican party are
10 longer able TO control or greatly
influence that great political organ
| ism We believe that the machinery
| IN that part has fallen under the In
sidiOpa influence Of the great pluto
cratic powers and organized mOnopo-
lies OF this nation.
We denounce and condemn the ma
tional Republican party for the law
ish use Of money belonging TO the
people of Oklahoma IN the reclama-
ton service In other states. and
| pledge our members In c0f national
| congress- to use their best efforts to
| require the reclamation service, to
use the money belonging 20 Oklahoma
| in Oklahoma
We believe that the vast contrlbu-
tions of money by these special in.
tcrests have given such interests
such power over the Republican party
that remedy for national conditions
under which the people suffer Is inn
possible through that party
We apptai, therefore, 20 every good
citizen who places patriotism above
commercialism, happiness and The
welfare Of the great body Cf our pro-
ducing classes above the enrichment
of the few: and who believes in local
self-goyernment, to join MS in holy
crusade for the restoration to the peo-
pie OF their rights.
We enjoin upon the advocates "
Democracy that they treat with spa
cial respect those of our fellow citi-
zens who by environments, affiliation
or by any other reasons have hereto
fore affiliated with other parties, anc
+ we urge them only to use seund argu
