through the railroad yards. The
shooting was at 10 o'clock.
The victim dragged himself to the

Referring to the stand-pat plat

SPECIAL INTERESTS OR

SHALL THE WHITE RACE OR THE
BLACK RACE RULE THE STATE?
YOU TO SAY.
To My Fellow Democrats:

The constitution of Oklahoma is 10
day the best constitution ever written,
| and is so considered by students of
constitutional law. Possibly the next
best after that of Oklahoma IS the
constitution of Pennsylvania, although
his constitution, as construed and ma
nipulated by the republican party, has
caused Pennsylvania to be the great.
est graft-ridden and nterest-controlled
state in the union. Should the repuk-
lican party get into power in Oklaho-
ma, the same conditions will exIs,
here that now exist in Pennsylvania.
The special interests of the Unit.
ed States are making a fight against
our constitution by trying TO eject the
republican ticket. This Is done for
the sole purpose OF discrediting Okla
homa's constitution and thereby dis
couraging other states from atoptlng
a similar one. 1t Is the duty of ev-
cry loyal, patriotic democrat and citi-
zen of Oklahoma to defeat this scher.e
of the special interests on election
day.
Another vital question TO the people
OF Oklahoma Is whether or not the
whites or blacks shall dominate the
affairs of the state. The republican
machine in Oklahoma has promised
the negroes that in the event OF the
election Of the republican ticket, the
separate coach law and separate
school law shall be repealed. There Is
not republican state in the un~on
that has a separate coach law, or a
separate school law Are you will
ing to assist the republican machine
in carrying out their promise to the
negroes?
The two paramount questions be-
tween the democrats and republicans
in this campaign are:
First-Shall the special interests or
the people rule the state?
Second-Shall the white race or the
black race dominate the affairs Of Ok
lahoma?
These questions are up to you" and
