Cal for State Convention.


To the People Of Oklahoma:
A call Is hereby made for a dele
gate convention for the state Of okla
homa, to be held at Oklahoma city, on
the 2ith day Of July. 1912. for the
purpose Of the election of ten dele
gates from the state of Oklahoma to
the national convention August g.,
1912, for the nomination Of candidates
for president and vice president of the
United States and to transact such
other business as may In the discretion
Of such state convention, properly
come before II. by all citizens in sym
pathy with the national progressive
movement, and who believe that the
deliverance from the wrongs that OPP
press the people may no longer be eX-
pected from the enemies of righteous
government no win control of the old
political parties. Political parties are
sacred only as they sacredly serve the
people.
The new movement to be organized
in Chicago is not merely a protest
against the fragrant thefts and inlqui-
ties that brought about the alleged
nomination of William II. Taft in defi-
ance of the wishes of an overwhelm
ing majority OF republican voters in
every state where they were given free
opportunity to express their choice OF
candidates for the presidential nom
ination. The new movement appeals
to every man in this nation to unite
with his neighbors, regardless of relig-
ious creed or past party affiliations
that sectional lines of whatever kind
may be obliterated that control Of our
national government may be wrested
from vicious, unpatriotic, destruc-
tive minority and restored to the peo-
Pile; that the square deal may become
a fact. instead of a splendid vision, and
that in a land of plenty 1t shall be no
longer possible for any man to be de-
prived of the fruits of his industry and
reduced to the struggles OF poverty,
merely to increase the vast and useless
wealth of those who have usurped
control of our government and forti-
fled themselves behind the walls of
special privilege.
