PROGRAM OF POLITICAL
LOOT AND GRAFT

The opposition of the Republican
leaders and Office holders OF the Ok
lahoma territory part of the new state
and some OF the Democratic leaders
who have been more or iess hand in
glove with them for years to the adop-
ton OF the constitution, is beginning
to be apparent
One OF the most troublesome stumb-
ling blocks in the way of statehood
for several years has been a desire of
this same element to have Indian Ter
ritory made a part of Oklahoma terri
tory, absorbed as IL we're This would
bring the Oklahoma politicians the OPP
portunity of extending the area of
their operations to nearly double It's
present proportions.
The governorship of Oklahoma be.
ing an appointive office, the RepIb.
licans would have that power over In
dian Territory at once cinched as well
as the courts and all the other ap-
pointiye officers. In the transition Of
Indian Territory from an unorganized
territory 10 a part of Oklahoma terri
tory the first full complement of coun-
ty and township officers would also
derive their existence from the same
appointiye power. II will thus he seen
that that party having the initiative
in all these things would have golden
opportunity TO organize a machine
that II would require Herculean efforts
on the part of the people to break
down.
The Oklahoma machine that has
reveled and rioted in the graft that
anne through favoritism to the rail
roads and other corporations is a
clever one and has looked with long
ing eye on the sister territory as a
plum tree 1t would some day shake
and gather the fruit. (putting the mat

There IS one thing that ought to at.

In connection with the assaults Of the
subsidized Republican newspapers and
their hackers upon the constitution
Not one Of them dare point out a
single provision In the whole consti-
tuition, and show wherein 1t is IN con
ihct with the enabling act of congress,
the constitution of the United States
or the Declaration of independence, OF
lacks any feature to make II conform
to a republican form of government
If II is the initiative and referendum,
as some of their apologists say, why
don't they come out boldly and say so?
They dare not do this.

When the Republican commission
made up the unequal and unfair con
stitutional districts, with the conf
dence that they would surely return
an overwhelming Republican majority
to the convention, the Democrats feh
blue. but they accepted the situation
without a murmur. TSey couldn't
help themselves, and they knew It.
and instead of playing the baby act
as the Republicans are doing, mar
shalled their forces and swept the
Republicans OF the face of the earth
The constitution was therefore writ

the matter The Republicans hope
and it's all they've got. that II they
can turn down the constitution they
will get one more chance to write It,

The objector wishes 70 substitute

promise Of another enabling act. The
men who make that promise have no
power or authority TO make il. II
they had such authority then the peo-
pie Of Oklahoma could cite them TO a
very unsavory record OF Republican
promises OF statehood extending over
a period OF twelve years. Those
twelveyear.old promises were definite
ana certain. They called for immedi-
ate statehood and declared Il 10 be
the paramount issue. and yet no state
