teryiew published in the state Capital
Bird Mcclure says oklahoma win go
republican by twenty thousand next
year and gives as his reason "the per
fidy and extravaganza of the demo
cratic administration
1t Is TO be supposed that Mcclure
is conversant with definitions Of
words, and understood when he used
the word perfdy that it means 'yio-
lation Of promise or vow, or trust
reposed." Now let's see where the
democratic party and administration
has been perfdious. 1t promised in
the platforms for election of delegates
to the constitutional convention, that,
If successful its delegates would
place in the constitution provision
for the regulation of corporations; the
initiative and referendum; primary
elections. a labor commissioner, and
for board of arbitration; and for sep
arate coaches and waiting rooms for
whites and colored There were many
other minor matters, but these were
the principal questions up before the
people
After an overwhelming victory for
the democrats. the constitutional con.
vention organized and began It's work.
Every promise made to the people by
the democratic party was carried out
every pledge fulfilled, except the pro-
vision for separate coaches and wait
ing rooms. and it was put up to the
delegates in plain alnguage that there
would be no statehood unless that
measure was left out of the constitu
tion.
Not only did the party fulhll all its
pledges through its delegates. but
many other things were done IN ac.
cord with the wishes of the people A
two cent fare proposition was inserted
in the constitution, many requests Of
iaboring, business, and farming people
were placed there for the protection of
the masses.
When the constitution was ratified
and we became a state. the people
showed their appreciation of the demo.
cratic party by Overwhelmingly elect
ing representatives and senators to
the first legislature.
The first bin introduced was one IN
fulhllment of the peldge to provide for
separate coaches and waiting rooms
Now that we had statehood, the party
of Bird Mcclure could no longer threat.
en- us with no statehood, and the bin
was quickly passed At that session
OF the legislature the constitution was

party to the people made good II
