promise and pledge tor which the
Democratic administrztiOn OF Okla
hona stands indicted before the peo-
pie.
Has Kept Faith.
A. proof that the Republican party
has kept faith with the people in the
fulfllmeni Of pledges, we point to the
railroad bill. the MeCall bill providing
for the publicity Of campaign expenses
the appropriation for the Taft tariff
eommission-all Of which measures
will BE- completed by the present sess-
ION Of Congress.
We extend a hearty welcome home
20 our former President. Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt. and commend the
movement TO make his welcome a ma
tinnal demonstration.
stands For Labor
The Republican party has stood for
the farmer and the laborer a. well as
for all classes. The present high
prices % the products Of the farm are
the direct result Of the benefcieut
policies put into effect by the Republi-
can party. On the soil depends the
prosperity Of our country. When the
tillers Of the soil are prosperous every
body p-ospers; then all labor receives
its just reward. snd plenty and happi-
ness are found among all the people.
Enacted Antitrust Laws
The Republican party is the original
anti trust party. IL has enacted laws
and created the Interstate Commerce
Commissions for the regulation of rate.
Of transportation and the prevention
OF combinations of capital inimical e
the interests OF the public. Ry the en-.
forement of these provisions number
Of great trusts have been put out o.
business and we have confidence thai
President Taft, il given proper suppor
will. through the measures adopted by
Republican Congress, mete out ade
quate punishment to all unlawful com
binations and trusts.
Improvement of Waterways.
We commend the policy improve
ment OF the inland waterways and urg'
that the Arkansas river be included il
the plans for the utilization of thes'
natural highways
Fayors Reclamation.
We endorse the national policy o
reclamation OF agricultural lands, an,
believe it should be so extended a. I,
include drainage a. well as irrigation
We approve the efforts to secure Fede
raj aid in the building OF good roads.
We note with patriotic pride tha
country IS more liberal in the carin
for its defenders than any nation o.
: earth, as evidenced by the liberal pen
sion policy pursued in the past whic
we advocate.
Encourage Rural Delivery.
We regard Republican policy Of ru
fal delivery Of mail as one of the great
} est boons to the farmer, and the rura
mail carrier is his most valued friend
The high price of farm products
which has brought increased pre- sperit
to the farmers, has Increased the eS
pense Of maintaining the rural carrier
equipment We therefore favor a
adequate allowance, in addition to tn
carriers salaries, for the meeting
this expense.
Condemn the Governor.
We desire to specifically condemn a
executive as insineere, unsafe and di
honest who will squander public funC
regardless of the purpose for whic
they are appropriated, condemn LEI
islature as puerile which will not r.
sent it, and endorse the action Of tt
Republican minority which brough
1 public attention TO their profigal
practices by forcing investigation thei
Of, and making record of the IA,
that this same executive has openl
+. violated the constitution and laws
: the state, attempted TO usurp the pov
er of the courts and the legislatur
B and abused the power Of pardon unit
