be paid bv contributions from the diff
ferent candidates. The Democratic
party believes in bringing the rule of
the state directly home to the people.
The constitution will also contain a
clause which will provide that the
first legislature shall pass a manua-
tory blanket primary law for the nom
ination of all candidates by all par
ties of the new state. In making this
provision, the Democratic majority
has met the well ocnied demand OF
the people that they shall nominate
the officers of the state, including
United States senator's, by direct vote.
This is one of the most important
platform pledges that has been re-
deemed by the party in the conven-
tion.

The First Election in August.

The committee on prlvneges and
election has reported the date of the
first election for the adoption of the
constitution and for state officers to
be held on August 9th of this year
In fixing this date it was believed
that 1t would meet the approval Of
the masses of the people better than
any other date. The farmers and the
Farmers Union caucus of the conven-
tion insisted that the election be held
in August as this is the .-.cnic"
month of the farmers of Oklahoma
and there is less farm work done than
in any other month of the year. The
small grain will be harvested and
the cotton picking will not have been
begun. With the election fixed at this
date there should be the biggest vote
polled that was ever cast at an cleo
tion either in Oklahoma or in Indian
Territory. The rank and file of the
state should take an interest in this
election and see that they get out
to vote. The constitution is protecting
every right of the people and is at the
same time giving capital that is seek
ing investment here, a square deal;
but in spite of this the Republican
carpet bagger, the press bureau and
the special interests of the state are
not satisfied and are organizing to
| defeat the constitution. We have mo
fear that this will be done, but we
want to urge upon the people, the far
mers, the Farmers Union, to be up
and doing and organize and get out

first Saturday and only applies to

1t Is well known that Washington

Oklahoma Gas for Oklahoma.

At this time it seems probable that
the convention would take steps to
prevent the piping of natural gas out
of the new state. In doing this they
are acting in the best interests Of
the citizens Of Oklahoma. There is no
question but what foreign capital will
seek investment where there Is cheap
fuel. The gas fields of other states
nave been exhausted in many in
stances by the gas being plped out
of the state for use in foreign cities
and communities. Many of the facto-
ries in Indiana that were doing big
business years ago. have had to nban-
don their works and leave the state.
Pittsburg has reached her present
state Of splendid development through
her foresightedness in securing up-
tions on adjacent gas fields. Until the
restrictions on the lands are removed
in Indian Territory, the taxes will nee.
essarily be high and every endeavor
should be made to attract factories
and other industrial plants to the
state. There is nothing that will serve
to do this in a greater degree than
the immense fields of natural gas. In
protecting the rights and best inter
ests of Indian Territory in this mat
ter. the convention is only acting fol-
the good of the whole state.

With hay selling in our mar,

There is no better combination

a tremendous profit on The IN
