Platform adopted BY the Oklahoma
state democratic conventions
We the representative Of the demo-
cratic party Of the state Of Oklahoma
in appealing to the citizenship of our
state for their support do respectfully
submit these principles Of self govern
ment, for which We stand and which
are Of special interest to the cam
paign.
Local Issues
We believe we should have the right
Of local seIf-government Immediately
without denial, delay or evasion.
We belive the people Of Oklahoma
should and viii condemn at the polls
the efforts Of those who are trying
to defeat statehood for our people.
We submit to the people Of Okla
homa the best state constitution that
has ever been written, and in asking
the suffrage Of the patriotic citizen
ship of this state, we firmly stand
upon this constitution in its entirety
as our platform.
In this splendid organic law we have
carried out in perfect good faith every
pledge made by US to the people Of
the state. We have made constitu-
tion that takes the most advanced
ground Of any organic law in exis-
tence;which not only protects the right
to life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
piness Of the citizens, but constitu-
ton for the protection Of the property
Of the people against the stealthy
hand Of ingenious modern monopoly,
School Lands
We believe that as soon as possible
and practicable the lands held BY the
state for educational purposes should
be sold upon terms that shall be abb
solutely fair to the people Of this state
preserving the preference right to the
lessees, guaranteed by the enabling act
and to the end that such lands should
become taxable and made more
valuable and productive by the actual
owner thereof.
We believe that the funds derived
from the sale Of such land should be
fully preserved and invested as pro-
vided in the constitution
We believe that the present state
schools should be maintained and that
other necessary state schools and in
stitutions should be established equit-
ably throughout the state.
Coal and Asphalt Lands
We favor the purchase Of the se-
gregated coal and asphalt lands at
a fair price to be agreed upon BY the
state authorities and the Choctaw and
Chickasaw governments, subject to the
approval by vote Of the people Of
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1907-08-07

We reaffirm oaH allegiance g -nat
greatest living exponent Sc Democratic
principles. William Jennings Bryan,
and endorse him for our presidential
nominee IL 1905
We emphaticaiiy demand the reason
able and proper control 81 transpor-
tation and transmission companies and
the supervision and control of all en-
terprises engaged in Interstate com
merce.
We favor the improvement uf 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
lieYe that the machinery Of the party
has fallen under the insidious influ-
ence Of the great plutocratic power
and organized monopolies Of this ma
ton.
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 pledge
our members in our national congress
to use their best efforts to require the
clamation service to use the money be-
longing to Oklahoma in Oklahoma.
We belive that the vast contribu-
tions of money by these special inter
ests have given such interests such
power over the republican party that
a remedy for national conditions un-
der which the people suffer is impos-
sibIe through that party.
We appeal therefore to every good
city who places patriotism above
commercialism, happiness and the vel
fare Of the great body Of our produc-
ing class above the enrichment of the
few; and who believe in local self-gov-
eminent, to join US in a holy crusade
for the restoration Of the people to
their rights.
We enjoin upon the advocates of
democracy that they treat with sep
cial respect those Of our fellow citi-
zans who by environment, affiliation
or by other reasons have heretofore
affiliated with other parties, and we
urge them to use only sound argument
in appealing to their reason and to
use the force of courtesy and kind
ness in persuading them to join US in
the great task Of restoring to the Am
erican people their rights to the pur-
suits Of happiness.

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATE0RM

this state, before the contract Of pur-
chase shall become effective.
we favor the fullest development Of
such lands ia the interest Of the
schools and charitable institutions and
the product Of cheap fuel for the peo-
pie Of the state.
We favor the immediate sale Of the
surface Of such segregated coal and
asphalt lands in small tracts to actual
settlers.
We strongly oppose the passing Of
the timber land and other natural re-
sources of this state into the hands Of
the great monopolies.
RemoUal of Restrictions
We believe the people Of this sover-
eign state should have the full meas
ure Of liberty enjoyed by the citizens
of other sovereign states.
We believe that the various federal
bureaus established in this state
should be Immediately terminated and
that the basis Of this bureau govern
ment, the restrictions on the sale and
lease Of land Of our citizens, should be
removed summarily, except as to home
steads Of full-bloods; and we favor
the immediate settlement Of all tribal
affairs and the immediate distribution
Of all tribal funds.
We believe that the estates of those
mentally incompetent Of whatsoever
race, should be protected by our state
probate courts. We will take care Of
our own detectives Of whatever race
or color, and will not rely upon the
federal government to discharge this
proper function Of our own state.
Invested Capital
We believe that it is Of the greatest
Importance to the development Of our
new state to give perfect safety and
assurance to invested capital, and that
where complete security is afforded
capital will gladly seek investment at
the lowest rates Of interest.
We draw broad line of distinction
between capital invested in honest en-
terprises and predatory capital engag-
er in conspiracy. against the proceeds
Of labor Of the American people. We
oppose the crafty corporations which
artfully contrive to destroy compe-
tition and thus fix arbitrary prices on
the necessities Of life, and on those
things which are produced by our own
people. We do not intend to encour-
age predatory capital in this state. We
do intend TO protect our people in the
proceeds of their honest labor. We
favor especial care Of the protection
in the rights and interests Of the la
boring people, such as the tradesmen
and women and children Of this state.

Schools

people as absolutely essential to the
development Of this state, and to the
continuance Of supremacy Of the dem
ocratic party. We pledge the party
to vigorously promote in every rea-
sonable way our public school system,
50 that this state shall stand in the
front ran kin the educational column.
Economy
We pledge the people Of this state
an economical and faithful admins
tration of its affairs, and that the
state taxes shall be as low as pos
sible for the conduct Of state gov
.ernment properly administered.
Separate Coaches
We approve the resolution Of the
constitutional convention of March /
1907, pledging the enactment of law
at the earliest possible date during
the first session Of the first legisla-
ture providing for separate coaches
or Accommodations and waiting rooms
for the negro race.
Prohibition
The question Of prohibition has
been removed from partisan politics
and has been left to vote Of the peo-
pie in accordance with the principle
of the referendum.
FulfiIlment 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 strict enforcement Of ev-
cry law enacted by the legislature Of
this state.

TAX THE NONRESIDENT

If the nonresident property holders

would soon be thousands of acres Of
virgin soil sold at reasonable figure

in the summer and warns his finger
by blowing on them while gathering
his crops in the winter, must dig the
deepest when he enters the tax col.

those improvements on which he pays
taxes are the very things that have
doubled, trebled and even in many
instances more than quadrupled the

MAHoMET AND THE MOUNTAIN.

Cooperation and determination will

fused to give over 1912 cents for up.
land lOng-Staple cotton. The growers
Of this cotton formed an association,
the members living in South Carolina
and Georgia principally, with a few
from two or three other States. This
association fixed the price of longSta.
pie cotton at a fair and Just figure, re-
fusing TO sell for less. The mills were
very independent at first. because a
few growers WHO were forced to sell
had taken their price, and they an
nounced that they could not use the
long staple, and did not care to buy.
This bravado did not intimidate or
disturb the association in the least,
and 1t pursued the even tenor OF its
way, adhering to the fixed price. Di.
