WOODROW WILSON

Opponents Are Now Seeking Way to
Stop the New Jersey Governor
Senators Out For Him.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 27- The

adelphia Record sends the following
to his paper:
As the result of conferences held
here by southern leaders in congress,
! these conclusions regarding the demo-
cratic political situation, so far as
presidential candidates are concerned.
have been reached:
!. Unless Governor Wilson is to be
conceded the democratic presidential
nomination his opposition must give

William J Bryan and his followers On

3. Speaker Clark is the only candi-
date in the field having more than To-
cal support with whom Wilson can be
beaten for the nomination and with
whom the party can succeed at the
polls.
These conclusions have been reach

THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA.

While Governor Woodrow Wilson Of
New Jersey, candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for president, was
telling the people of Kansas that the
movement back to the people in the
field OF politics must precede the move
ment away from monopoly back to free
Thursday night. the dem
ocratic convention of Oklahoma was
proclaiming to the world that that
movement is an accomplished fact in
this state. II was a convention in which
politics was relegated TO the back
ground. That long dreamed of millen.
mum day when the people shall rule,
which has been dawning dimly In the
distance. broke forth with the full
effulgence of the MONDAY sun when
the votes had been tailed and their
full significance realized.
The Oklahoma convention was
unique 1t was political revelation
to say nothing of a political revolu-
ton. The spectacle Of governor,
owing his election in part to the men
he confronted, politely telling them
that the Will OF the people was greater
than their VIII; that he was the gov
|ernor OF all the people. set new ex-
ample in governmental administra-
tons. The wisdom of his logic lodged
lin the minds and hearts OF ali his hear
ers, those delegated representatives Of
the people OF the commonwealth. and
Lee Cruces high principle received the
Endorsement OF the majority assembled.
4 large portion of those delegates
came to the Oklahoma City conven-
ton without instructions They held
the balance OF power. II was a signif-
cant fact that when the convention
was called to order not one man was
in aposition to deliver the vote OF any
delegation 10 any person or to any
cause. And as one proposition after
enether came mp for settlement and
disposition. this same spirit Of politi-
cal independence was manifested.
The political significance OF this CON
rention hardly can be summed up in
words. II marked new epoch in the
political economies of Oklahoma.
Only two Oklahoma offieeholders will
be- on the delegation to the Baltimore
convention The other eighteen come
from the rank and file. Senator Gore
led the fight in this state for Wilson
and it would have been manifestly un-
fair had be been left OF the delegation.
Congressman Scott Ferris Of Lawton
also was placed on the delegation.
This was done without his knowledge
or solicitation. and comes as pretty
compliment to him

OKLAHOMA, THE LANE OF oP-
PORTUNITY."

Oklahoma is wonderfully blest by
the providence Of God. First OF all.
it has a splendid climate-temperate
ami mild. as a whole. yet with sufa-
cient changes to prevent monotony.
The spring and the fall seasons are
especially beautiful in Oklahoma. The
winter is fine and the summer com
pares favorably with other parts OF
the great Mississippi Valley. with the
additional advantage of steady Gulf
breeze which prevents the summer
from being too oppressive
The health conditions OF the state
are excellent. 1t has abundant rain
fall, as a rule. great rivers, numerous
fine streams to give sufficient water
for every human need.
The state is wonderfully well fitted
for raising fruits and flowers. and all
grains and agricultural products It
is splendidly adapted to vegetables.
and produces a great variety of Der
ries-the strawberry. the raspberry,
the blackberry and many other spe-
cies. No finer apples grow anywhere
than in Oklahoma, and its peaches and
plums are famous.
The great cotton crop OF Oklahoma
is worth between sixty and eighty mil
lion dollars annually.
Wonderfully rich in building ma
terial is Oklahoma, with mountains of
splendid merchantabIe granite. huge
deposits Of marble. Bedford limestone
and the finest sandstone. There IS en-
ought glass sand in Oklahoma to pave
the universe with crystal. There is a
huge ledge Of it nearly hundred
miles long. and almost chemically
pure. The deposits of gypsum are the
largest of any state in the Union. The
material for making hydraulic cement
is unlimited. and the splendid cement
made at Dewey and Ada shows the
high quality of this material II has
vast deposits Of fuel and eoking coal
snd great forests OF hardwood and
pine
Above all, however. in material
way, perhaps. is the gigantic oil and
gas fields which have been developed
in Oklahoma, and which are still grow
ing on a large scale. Oklahoma pro-
duces more oil this year than the en-
tire United States did at the preced-
ing census of 1900 Abundant gas
furnishes cheap heat. light and power
FOR nearly all Oklahoma.
Great are all these things. but
greater FAR are the intelligent, indus
trious. God-worshipfng. man-loying
sons and daughters of Oklahoma. who
give welcome and offer every oppor-
tunity to all worthy newcomers. Ok
lahoma is indeed the land OF oppor-
tunity. blest with every condition TO
make human life peaceful. contenJed

An incident Of the recent democratic
state convention that shonld not be
overlooked was that wherein Judge
Henry Furman. called upon for an ad-
dress. walked 70 the front OF the stage
and, though weakened By illness and
arduous court labors, told his hearers
that be was temporarily incapacitated
