prisoners would be surrendered under

hua. But as Presidetn Wilson has de-
Clared there is no government in Mex

involve grave difficulties.
The state department has been ap-

partment to retain Castillo and his
party in custody under the same con-
dltions as General SalaZar and the
soldiers who came across the intcrna-
tional line with arms in hand thereby

VIII Run on the Platform
Adopted Here.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 1S.-(Spe-
cial. State Chairman Arthur II

ler says:
THE Tulsa convention, called for
that purpose, adopted a platform, and
directed the calling Of another con-
vention for the purpose Of settling
upon and recommending to the vot-
ers at the primary, candidates for the
various state offices.
THE call for the Oklahoma City

Of course, in it's specification Of the
purpose of that meeting, be limited
strictly to the above direction of the
Tulsa convention. Meanwhile. those
who desire to be named as candidates
by the oklahoma City state conven-
ton, will have ample opportunity to
study the Tulsa platform. This Will
not be amiss, for we who are giving
our time and efforts in this fight,
without compensation and without de-
sire of any reward, other than the
Satisfaction of helping the cause of
good government, are In dead earnest
and we shall expect these candidates
when elected. to redeem every prom
ise made to the people by the repub-
lican party in the Tulsa platform"
BY way of comment on the Tulsa
platform, the republican state chair
man said:
This platform will appeal strongly
to the people of this state. regardless
of past party affiliations. Naturally,
IT causes those to squirm and squeal
who desire to aid the democratic ma
chine in Its struggle to maintain its
power But this will be OF no avail
for on that platform will be eletced
the next governor Of Oklahoma. and
with him a full set of state officials,
who will cooperate with him in put
ting into effect the principles enunci-
ated in that platform"
"The Tulsa convention was com
posed Of delegates who were earnest
~ desirous of formulating a platform
which would answer the needs and
necessities of the people. As to the
issue of honest, efficient and econom-
ical government. the main Issue. all
delegates were agreed. Believing that
where there is an agreement as to the
main issue there should be no cap
tfous clinglng to preconceived notions
on minor subjects. The committee ON
resolutions, on which every county
was represented built from the mass
of planks suggested by the various
methods Of the convention. which had
the approval OF nearly all of the dele
gates. and l am confident that every
republican in this state will apprec :
ate the platform as a whole, after h.
has carefully examined all OF its i'm
portant parts This applies also to
many former democrats. some Of
whom sat as delegates in the Tulsa
convention"
