ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Shall the proposed constitu-
tion be adopted? Shall the Dem.
ocratic party or the Republican
party control the New State /?
One year ago the people Of the
two territories entrusted the
work of preparing a constitution
to the Democratic party. They
have done their work and sub
mitted it to the people for their
approval The Democratic party
is before the people asking that
the constitution be ratified, and
that further confidence in them
be expressed by the voters on
next Tuesday, and that they be
entrusted with controlof the state
government of the new state.
The Republican party denounces
the proposed constitution as
vicious and un-republican in
form, and declare it to be the
work of demagogues and political
bosses. II the council Of the
Republican party is needed, the
constitution will be defeated and
statehood delayed indefinitely.
If the constitution is ratified
Oklahoma will be admitted as a
state within thirty days after the
election. Therefore, the contest.
is between the friends OF state.
hood upon the one side and its
enemies upon the other
The great political idea that
predominates throughout the
proposed constitution is to bring
the government of the state as
close to the people as possible.
The constitution by express
provisions confers greater power
upon the Legislature Of the state,
and expressly reserves to the.
people greater rights and powers
than those conferred by any
other state in the Union. The
trainers of this constitution in
tended that the state of Okla
homa shall be governed and con
troled by the people, through
their regularly elected represent
atives, and not by the powerful
few, as is the case in many Of the
older states.
With this polical idea in view.
