OF the coal trust, and how they
conferred with the coal men. Did
they confer with the miners
whose wages in the past 10 years
have gone up 80 per cent while
their living expenses have gone
up 100 per cent, or did they con-
fer with the operators, whose out
put has gone up in price 200 per
cent? To whom do you think
Busby took them to see?
Every man who is for Frantz
is for the conditions that now
prevail, while every man who is
for Haskell is for a new and fair
adjustment of the conditions OF
living. Think of this when you
go to vote.
Mr.. West left off speaking at
9:33; and a minute later, Mr..
Robnett, introduced by Chair
man Gilbreath, began to speak.
Mr.. Robnett said in substance
that he believes the people want
to be fair and examine both sides
that they would judge best by
having several of a thing to
choose from. He then passed on
t. a consideration of how the
leaders of both parties have full
filled their pledges. He showed
that the Democratic platform of
1892 had in it a promise to admit
the Territories to statehood. Re.
ferring to Vests unfolding of
the anti trust work in the courts
last winter, he said it was a
"family row." and that he did
not want to mix up in it. He
slurred Vests use of the pro-
noun 81" saying he had lost
count after 967, and claimed that
the leaders of the Democratic
party in Oklahoma would not en-.
dorse it's record; that Haskell
himself would not endorse t, and
offered to quit the stump if il
couldbe shown.
Last year, the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee, he said, of.
fered to put the trusts out of
business i. the Democrats could
write the state constitution. They
have written it, and should have
defined the trust, and have failed
to it. Mr.. West cannot find it in
his constitution. They promised
to place exemptions for heads OF
families at $3.50, and I'll promise
to eat the constitution if Mr.,
West will show any such provis-
ion.
Mr.. Robnett claimed that al
antitrust laws were put on the
statute books BY the Republi.
can administrations, aud that Out
of the twelve states admitted
since the Civil War, Only
one was admitted by the Demo-
Gratis, Utah. He said that Bot
Williams, of Durant. claims the
honor of writing the two cen.
fare clause, which they have i
the railroads would allow it. A
for the constitution, Mr.. Robnet
said that it was rotton through.
out and all wrong; nevertheless
he would hold his nose and vot
for it. The Democrats, he stat
ed, claim that the Republican
are against statehood because
they criticize the constitution
when last year Haskell and Muir
: Tray attempted to kill statehood
with their Sequoyah Convention
| He then referred TO Section 30
p, 80, Of the constitution, an.
claimed that the Legislature wa
given power to repeal the cor
poration clauses and to Section
Z of Article 8 where, he said, tn.
initiative and referendum hav
been slaughtered. CAT thi
point John E. White, of AnAdar

There were some reports that the other
