Special 70 The World
OKLAHOMA cry, May lo.-E.
O McAdnms today made public the
platform upon which he will stand
In his race for the democratic noini-
nation for United states senator
against 7. l.. core. Following Is the
statement.
Realizing ms do that oklahoma
n possessrd 81 80 many natural re-
sourcea and Inhabited with 80 many
citizens unescolled In intellect, that
she has furnished no many or her
lnvpl sons In tho worlds war, hnd
that she has contributed 80 much
~ her money TO carry on this war. !
have fully made up my MIND TO
next year contest for the nomination
on tho democratic ticket. for seat
In the United statcs senate to the
end, n nominated and elected, that
Oklahoma shall have n share ana
voice IN administering the affairs OF
this nation.
when realize that oklahoma
stands seventh In tho payment OF in
come tax and first in tho production
~ oil and contemplate all hor vas,
coal asphalt, lead, zinc and other
natural resources, wonder why We
have no Representation In admins
tertng the affairs OF this republic. ex-
cent the representation TO which we
nre entitled without contest under
the constitution and laws or the
nation.
when I realize that more than ~
per cent OF the Indian population OF
this nation reside In oklahoma. I
wonder why the commissioner OF In.
dian affairs II not resident or
Oklahoma instead OF from tho state
~ Texas where there In not an In
dian reservation.
When ! realize that ok lahoma n
the only democratic state Within tho
Federal Farm Loan bank district,
and that Tulsa has more money per
capita on deposit In her banks thhn
any town or city In this section, ]
wonder why this bank was estab-
llshed Mt Wichita, IN a republican
state, instead Of In oklahoma, where
Il rightly belongs.
When realize that Oklahoma
furnishes practically 90 per cent OF
the entire litigation for tho eighth
circuit court Of appeals, and that
three positions have been filled on
that court since statehood, two
under the republican administration
ana one under tho democratic sd-
ministration, wonder why, when
we have 30 many able lawyers In this
state, who are no doubt more Ia
milisr with the general litigation be
fore that court than a lawyer rom
any other state In tho district, that
lawyer from Oklahoma was not
appointed TO one OF these positions
or at least a fight made for such
appointment.
when realize that oklahoma
furrishor more business than tho
court nr n court has ever transacted
In any one year, wonder why an
other circuit has not been estao-
ilshed with headquarters IN Okla
homa city.
The senator who now aspires for
reelection IL seeking TO have tho
citIyens OF this state overlook the
foregoing Important matters, ps well
ns his opposition 10 practically all war
measures, and HIS vote against In
creaslng our soldier boys pay nv
flooding the malls with letters tell
inE those who are engaged In the
production OF oit gas lead. zinc hnd
coal OF the valuable services he rem
dered them In the passage OF the
amendment 10 the income law,
known a. the depletion allowance,
and telling the farmers that he IL
their friend In that he insisted on
the government guaranteeing to
them $3.50 per hushel for their
wheat
He docs not tell the farmer, how
ever, that IN 1919. at time when
he was popular with the admlnistrn-
tion and people and chairman on
agriculture, when tho agriculture ap-
preparation bin involving about 500
600. 900 WAS before tho senate, that
