FulfilIment 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
lty, 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 dcorstitution as adopted by the
people and 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
nominee in 1908.
We emphaticaIly 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-
Itation wherever practical throughout
1.-THE Union.
We believe that The patriotic ele-
Iments Of the republican party are no
Longer able to control or influence
that great political organism. We be-
Ilieve that the machinery Of the party
|has fallen under the insidious influ-
enee of the great plutocratic power
and organized monopolies of this ma
Ition.
i We denounce 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 pledg'
lour members in our national congress
to use their best efforts to require thl
lcIamation service to use the money be
longing to Oklahoma in Oklahoma.
i We beIive that the vast contribu
tions Of money by these special inter
| tests have given such interests sucl
power over the republican party tha
a remedy for national conditions IN
der which the people suffer is impOs
dble through that party
4 We appeal therefore to every goo'
city who places patriotism above
