F1tIfillment of Pledges
In the constitution which we sub
nit we call attention to the important
fact that we have faithfully carried
out every pledge made the people in
the last campaign. We unreservedly
endorse the action Of the democratic
majority in its faithful compliance in
drawing the constitution in accord
ance with our pledges to the people
and we pledge that the democratic par
ty, if now entrusted with power in the
administration Of the state govern
ment, will faithfully enforce, execute
and carry into effect every principle Of
sal dconstitution as adopted by the
people and a strict enforcement Of ev-
cry law enacted by the legislature Of
this state.
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
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-
Iieve that the machinery Of the party
has fallen under the insidious influ,l
ance Of the great plutoeratie power
and organized monopolies Of this ma
ton.
We denounce and condemn the ma
-ional 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
70 use their best efforts to require the
slamation service to use the money be-
longing to Oklahoma in. Oklahoma.
We belive that the vast contribu-
lions Of money by these special inter-
asts have given such interests such
power over the republican party that
A remedy for national conditions un-
der which the people suffer is impos-
sible through that party.
We appeal therefore to every good
,ity who places patriotism above
,ommercialism, happiness and the vel
fare Of the great body Of our produc-
ng class above the enrichment Of the
few; and who believe in local self-gov-
eminent, to join Us in a holy crusade
tor the restoration Of the people to
her rights.
We enjoin upon the advocates Of
democracy that they treat with sep
nal respect those Of orr fellow citi.
