Il also lifts. to large degree, from
the State the blight that has been

The Republican party in Oklahoma
doesn't stand for a single positive prin-
ciple. Their promises are all of a
negative character. They do not
promise TO enact any reformatory or
progressive legislation. In fact they
fail to promise to do anything. They
simply promise that in the event they
are given power they will Tot do any
thing. Ia view ftheirt errltorial rec
ord tnis Is not surprising In the hey
day Of their power prior TO statehood
they were strangely forgetful and
criminally neglectful They forgot to
build a peniitentiary They forgot to
provide an asylum for the insane.
They forgot to provide a department
of charities. They forgoe to provide
department of labor. They forgot TO
provide corporation commission.
They forgot to establish regulation
Of freight and passenger rates. True
they received a report from Attorna
General w. o. Cromwell. declarihs
that the railroads had literally stolen
fifty-four million dollars from the peo.
pie of Oklahoma. But they allowed
that report to sleep in the dust and sill
eDce of the upper shelf and forgot to
supply any remedial legislation. They
forgot every demand OF the federation
OF labor and left the enactment fde-
manded laws to the grace of Demo
cratic legislature. Their position TO
day is exactly what it was through
seventeen years of territorial govern
ment-they promised to do nothing
except TO do nothing

EXHIBIT At END;
WAS GREAT SUCCESS
Wednesday Club Gives Excellent
Concert-Nearly All the
Pianos Brought Here.

With a splendid concert by the

Orchestra and one of the largest
crowds of the week in attendance, the
first national piano exhibit of the
manufacturers and dealers OF the
United States and Canada was
brought to a. close with Aud Lang
Sine" sung by the exhibitors and
audience Saturday night. -
Under the direction of Mr.. Walter
c. Mercer, who had carefully drilled
the scores OF singers, the Wednesday
Club repeated its success of a few
weeks ago at the auditorium. The
program was difficult. all the numbers
being Of the classic variety and CALI
ing for the best the singers We're
capable of. but the men and women
met all the requirements OF the COM
posers and the audience. The singers
were repeatedly encored and each
time responded with selection which
seemed equally as pleasing. IL not
more SO.
The exhibit was as Respondent as
ever and the thousands OF persons
who had postponed visiting the horse
show building until the very last min
ute got as good view of the scores
of pianos and attractive booths as
the men and women who attended
on the opening night.
y The exhibit was a most pronounced
success and win doubtless be repeat
ed ut all the future conventions of
the dealers and manufacturers. Rich
mond folk saw probably a million
dollars worth OF pianos and talking
machines and are now thoroughly
up on the latest thing In struments
and somewhat familiar with the
