does or does not conflict with the Constitution of the United States; and in'the enabling act for admis sion of New Mexico and Arizona Congress very wisely declared that it had retained in .he President and, itself the power to review the constitutions of the proposed states before proclaiming them as such. In declaring that unless the people of Atizena omitted from their pro- posed fundamental law certain very popular principles of govern ment, Congress would reject the constitution, republican newspap. CTS and leaders in various counties put themselves and their party upon the defensive in a very inde- fensible position. In Santa Cruz county the republican organization refused to take that position, and it won out. Had the county or ganizations pursued the same wise course in other counties, the same guerdon of success would have been their reward.
 Now when MT. Cameron finds in Washington any stiff necked repub- lican senator who opposes admis. sion of Arizona under a progressive constitution, let him get down a volume of Abraham Lincoln's state papers and speeches and read to. that senator that speech ofJune 18th, 1858. ~ Ya

nals of the constitutional conven- tions of Michigan, California, Min nesota and other states that have framed new fundamental laws within the past thirty years, show that was the method of procedure followed. Arizona cannot afford to permit anything else. A consti- .tutional convention should be a great deliberative body in which all having seats should be heard and their opinions given all the weight to which they are entitled. To make of the constitutional con- venrion of Arizona anything less would be to brand the new state with the stamp of infamy.

THE OASIS is pleased to note that
 Hon. Ralph Cameron, delegate in Congress from Arizona, has an
 nounced that he will devote all of his energies toward securing, the approval of the President and of Congress to whatever constitution the Arizona convention may frame. In that regard itis to be regretted that such an attitude was not assumed By the entire republican party in Arizona in the campaign that closed so disastrously i6 all but three or four small counties on the twelfth of September. As Mark. Twain says, tritely and truthfully. "hindsight is a good deal better than foresight" 'and all can see plainly now what was "seen through glass darkly" to quote St. Peter, before the twelfth of Sep tember. But if republican leaders and those who aspire to instruct the public mind would only go into the past history of their party for their inspiration and abide by the wisdom they find there, they would not fall into such predicar ments as they find themselves now in Arizona. The very question that was before the people of Ari- zona in the election three weeks ago-the right of people to make their own nstitutio n-was threshed out in the joint debate between Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, in 1858. In the course of that debate in his speech at Springfield, Illinois, June 18th, 1858, MT. Lincoln laid down the very proposition upon which the democrats have now carried Ari. zona; and that is that the people in creating state have right to put into their fundamental law whatever provisions they see fit, so long as those provisions do not conflict with the Constitution of the United States.
 In the very nature of things there has to be some seat of review where it shall be determined whether 6 new state constitution

THEY KNOW THEIR PARTY.

Some of the local democratic leaders are said to be expressing a belief that the republican delegates elect to the Arizona constitu- tional convention may as we'll re- main at home; thatto use an in- elegant yet expressive term "they will not have a look in" upon the work of making a fundamental law for government oi the new state. In fact it is stated that at least one democratic chieftain has ale ged that he0constitution will be framed as was much of the legisla- tion enacted by the last general as ssmbly of Arizona-what is agreed upon in the democratic Gaucus will be rammed through the convention without argument and without op- portunity for debate.
 It is possible that the predictions noted will be found correct and accurate. THE OASIS hopes and trusts to the contrary. But the gentlemen making the predictions probably know better the temper of their own party than can any one in the opposition. However, if fthat be the plan and the plan be carried out, it will be most potent argument that the people of Ari. zona areo not fit for statehood and self government.
 THE OASIS believes that any con- stitution framed in that way will meet with defeat at the hands of the people of Arizona.
 In the great work of making a constitution to govern a sovereign state there should be no star cham Der proceedings. Everything should be done openly and in the light of day. There should be full and free discussion upon the floor of the convention and every oppor- tunity given for thorough examina- ton of each and every provision proposed for incorporation into the new fundamental law.

OKLAHOMA REPUBLICANS.
+s+++s+++$++++41


The failure Of the Oklahoma repub-
licans to meet the expectation Of the
people has been the trouble with the
party in that state from the time Of
nominating the delegates to the consti
tutionaI convention in 1906 down to
the date cf the primary election in
1910. But kster every election, result
ing In defeat to the party, the republi-
cans wonder what brought about the
democratic victory.
The republicans permitted the spec
ial interests to dominate their nomina.
lions to the constitutional convention.
What few of them were elected op-
posed the best features of the consti-
tuition upon which Oklahoma was ad-
mitted. In the fight for admission the
Oklahoma republicans took an absurd
position; the position OF hostility to
the movement without any apparent
reason for such an attitude except
that the Standard OIL and the rail
roads objected to the constitution.
This year the Oklahoma republicans
have renominated their standpat con.
gressmen. That means the loss OF
what little foothold the party still has
in the new state.
Why is it that the republicans Of
Oklahoma are willing to surrender ali
hope Of victory at the polls in order
to maintcin a aapatronage controlling
machine2 Surely the majority of that
party is not more deeply interested in
the division Of f,post Offices than in max
ing their party a factor In the develop
ment Of such splendid young state.
But thus far they have been content
to allow their party to stand in the po-
sition Of being a mere office-broking
organization.
The republicans might have won in
the state contest this year. They have
apparently nominated candidate for
governor who is worthy Of support.
But instead OF accepting its opportu-
nifty the republicans have burdened
their candidate for governor with the
nomination of three reactionary con.
gressmen who cannot hope for election
under any circumstances.
The Oklahoma republicans should
know by this time why they cannot
win victories.-Kansas City Star.
