THE PRESIDENT-W pledge anew
our wholehearted determination O
uphold and strengthen the patriotic
purposes Of our great President and
ommander-in.chief, Woodrow vii
son,
I THE WAR We advocate a victory
so conclusive that the dominating
powers OF Germany and the German
people will know that right and lib.
erty shall prevail everywhere. Wa
shall not abandon this war until our
objective is definitely attained We
want no peace Of barter or trade, but
a peace Of victory that shall for all
time end the danger and menace of
renewal of this frightful war. Presi-
dent Wilson has laid down the only
basis upon which such a peace can, or
should be concluded,
NATIONAL ADMINISTRATIONS
We point with pride to the wonderful
achievements of the Democratic Ma
tional Administration under the SUI
perb leadership of that matchless pa
llIOL ana statesman w OOulOW w IL
son, whose every act we endorse, and
to whose loyal and unhinching sup
port we pledge every lover of Ameri-
can principles of this state
The administration Of Woodrow VIII
son can better be supported and sus-
tanned by its friends, who believe in
it, and who are in their everyday life
supporting it, than by others who are
adversely criticising it, and who are
eager to make selfish use OF
what they conceive to be its mistakes.
1t is an absurdity to assert
that the country needs Republican
Congress to support a Democratic Ma
tional Administration.
STATE ADMINISTRATION-The
present state administration has made
a splendid record for honesty, ability,
efficiency and economy, Aof which all
Democrats should be proud.

WANT A BRIEF CAMPAIGN
Judge Robertson Declares War Work
Shall Take Precedence over
Politics This Year.

When President Wilson announced
politics is adjourned until, after i'm
portant war work was accomplished,
he found a ready supported in the Ok
lahoma Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, Judge J. b. A. Robertson. VINO
Immediately declared active political
campaigning would not be started un-
til after the successful conclusion Of
the Fourth Liberty Loan drive.
Addressing the Democratic state
convention few days ago. Judge Rob
ertson laid down the policy OF his
party in the present campaign when
he declared: The slogan of this cam
paign will be: Win the war first and
everything else secondary" In this
campaign the services of all the can
didates have been donated to the Fed
eral Government through the State
Council OF Defense, and il we have
our wish about the matter there will
not be a partisan speech made in this
campaign.
"In years gone by" he continued,
"the campaign would now be at its
highest point Of enthusiasm Here in
Oklahoma, and elsewhere. we have
been busy with the war and the wars
work. We have purposely delayed the
opening of the campaign and | hope
the opening may be delayed as long
as possible.
However, that matter is entirly in
the hands of our friends, the Repubi-
cans, and if they choose to make the
issue we are willing and anxious to
accept They have not one among
their number who has the temerity to
assail President Wilson as a leader of
our people. but if you will get into
conversation with them you will find
them attacking Secretaries Daniels
and Newton. Baker and McAdoo. and
all the other subordinate officials of
our Government at Washington. They
are asking the people OF the state to
place them in power Why? Because
they are supporting the policies OF
the present administration? I am one
OF those old-fashioned Democrats who
believes that the friends Of President
Wilson and the friends of his admin
istration would be in better position
to uphold his hand, and to give him
that support that may be necessary,
than the man that is all the time stab
bing his subordinates and his advisers

ELECTION OF CONGRESSMEN-
The present National Administration

gram would mean, first. the lengthen-
ing Of the war indefinitely Second.
the unnecessary loss of thousands Of
our brave boys across the sea fighting
for democracy and the upholding Of
our country's flag upon the field Of
honor
Therefore, in the name OF Americas
army. and the future peace of the
world we appeal especially to the pa
triotism Of the citizens OF the First.
and Eighth Congressional districts to
elect men to congress not only in
harmony with the administration, but
who believe in the great underlying
principles advocated by President
Wilson. In the nomination
of e. B. Howard in the First District
and c. II. Hyde in the Eighth District
the voters Of those districts have an
opportunity to elect as their represen-
tatves to the National Congress men
who have achieved credit as workers
for the common good.
Oklahoma is with the President and
for the successful conclusion Of this
war, and she should sustain the gov
ernment by sending to Washington a
solid delegation of congressman who
will work in harmony With the Presi-
dent through the irving hours ahead.
STATE NOMINEES We hereby

candidate chosen in the late primary

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Our state constitution recognized the
9 importance OF this industry by plac-
( ing the agricultural schools and t ho
! administration of agriculture, horti-
cultural and live stock laws and reguF
lations under a state board, to which
1t granted exceptional powers; and to
the promotion of the general interest
Of this great industry, and In the Sc
lection of representative farmers to-
constitute the appointive part CT the.
board we pledge our most earnest and
sincere efforts and best judgment. =.
Ninetenths of the hardships and
burdens of which our farmers and
stock raisers complain haye their ori-
gin in the clumsy, unscientiflc and Tin
fair marketing conditions to which
they are forced to submit. y
We favor laws enabling farmers, fruit
growers and stock raisers to organize
cooperative marketing associations.
Any helpful, legitimate way to inn
prove marketing conditions, and to
stabilize and increase production will
have our most earnest effort and ac-
tive support.
TENANT FARM MER-HOME OWN
RSHIP-O Oklahoma has been a pio-
neer in the movement for home own
ership No other state has yet made
such extensive and practical efforts to
encourage the tenant farmer and the
landless farm worker to acquire and
own the soil on which he earns his
livlihood To continue this
policy and to improve and extend it.
as fast as experience and opportunity
shall point the way until Oklahoma
shall become noted for its leadership.
in "home ownership" is a democratic
principle to which we stand unresery-
edly committed.
OUR SOLDIER BOYS-To the fight

battling for humanity and the free
dom OF the world, and those prepar-
ing to battle, we send greetings OF
confidence and pride with the assur-
ance that while they are facing the
foe in front we will take care of the
snipers in the rear; that we will sup
port the government in every effort
to make their power to strike more
effective and potent. We
will guard their interests at home
with jealous care and uphold the gov
ernment in its protection of their de.
pendents and loved ones, The state
should be as proud Of this duty and
the while the sons and husbands are
protecting US on foreign battle fields
It is our duty to protect their fami-
lies and the market baskets of their
wives and mothers from the profteersi
at home, and we assure those boys
that we will not only support and
sustain them now, but remember them
with a Nations gratitude when theyi
return home.
We believe that the soldiers from
Oklahoma who are fighting for thei
principles of free government which
equal and free elections
should be protected and safeguarded
IN their privilege of suffrage, and to
this end the laws should be amended
or modified so that every soldier cleo
tor. whether in or out OF the state,
can exercise this privilege in national
and state elections. 1
