Moose Will Not Support Fields.
Someone has pointed out that
whenever the lion and the lamb lie
down together the lamb is on the
inside. This appears to be the re-
publican idea of bringing about a
state of events whereby the elephan;
and the moose will peacefully lie to-
gether, but up to date the moose
has been somewhat willy and has
refused TO share the couch Of the
elephant, although, it has repeated
ly been announced from republican
orators that the progressives would
support John Fields.
At a meeting of the H:ck?m sor
Governor club in Oklahoma City
Tuesday night, which was largely
attended by representative progress
sives, the following resolutions we're
adopted
Whereas, by repeated misrepre
sentation, the reactionaries who are
in control of the republican party in
! Oklahoma have attempted to create
the impression that numerous 1ro
gressives are supporting John Field
for governor, and,
Whereas, it is inconceivable &c
the members of the Oklahoma
county Hickam for Governor club
that any voter who believes in the
great principles set forth in the pro
gressive national and state platforms
could for a moment consider sup
! porting for office a man who has
| shown himself to be absolutely op
posed to the principles as Field:
has, and further,
Whereas, we believe that the
rank and ioelf those voters who
retain their allegiance to the repub
lican party in this state, do 81
through a misunderstanding of the
real conditions that exists.
Resolved, we urge first, that thu
voters of Oklahoma who favor th'
great constructive program to which
the progressive party of Oklahoma
and the nation has pledged itself, tC
pay no heed to the reports sent ou
from republican headquarters tina
numbers of progressives have an
nounced that they would supper
the stand.pat candidate.
Second, we urge upon the ranl
and file of the voters of the repub
lican party, that they recall that il
every place where primary election
has been held since 1912 the arcl
stand-patters have gained control o
the republican party until today il
every state in the Union such re
dictionary bosses as Barnes, Penrose
Cannon, Watson and Curtis are abso
lutely in control with their policy o.
rule or ruin.
1--WE urge further upon the ranl
and file of the republican party thai
they recall the great fight for pro
gress which has been made by such
leaders as Roosevelt, Johnson, Bev
eridge, Pinchot, Murdock, Allen and
Parker and remember that a vote
for John P. Hickam is a vote tc
further the cause of progress, while
a vote for the candidate selected by
the jim Harris machine is a vote
for the return of reactionary con
troll, and finally we urge that all
voters favorable to the success OF
progressive principles be loyal to the
party and men that advocate those
principles to the end that out of the
result of the coming election there
may be builded a greater progress.
sive party that shall unite all pro.
gressives to oppose and eliminate

sent the interests of the men, women
and children of the nation"
