DEMOCRATS Get
WHAT is LEFT OF
OKLAHOMA PARTY
Reconstruction League
Names Millionaire
Especial to The DAILY worker

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, March
27.-A real farmer-labor movement
will be started, by workers and
farmers of this city following the
complete betrayal of their interests
at the convention Of the Farmer
Labor Reconstruction League at Ell
Reno, at which the democratic party
was Endorsed and a plutocrat was
nominated.
The Workers Party offered Gre
dentials for d. Cobb and Holman.
All the committee were favorable to
seating them, but Victor Purdy, and
finally his argument prevailed and
the credentials were tabled. Having
no champion on the floor of the con-
vention to plead our cause and no
outsider allowed to plead his own
we were forced to silence.
Wrightman Nominated.
The convention endorsed the
democrat party and nominated full
state ticket choosing a multimillion-
aire, G. ]. Wrightman, for senator
on the grounds that the league is
busted and he can finance his cam
paign and will help others to get
thru. Wrightman is against gov
eminent ownership of railroads. He
is about of the seme makeup as
any reform Roosevelt republican
would be. Sold to the highest bid
der.
The platform was made to suit
him on railroads by declaring the
league stands for REGULATION or
public ownership of public utilities"
A cheap foreign exclusion act was
passed and my suggestion to pass a
resolution to condemn the pending
congressional bill was ignored. No
mention was made of Russia. A
move to unite the Farmers Union
and the Farm-Labor Union was
turned down.
The convention voted to strike out
the word regulation" from the
railroad clause in the platform but
reeactionary vice-chairman declar-
ed the motion lost. The majority
was so visible that the farm dele
gates went home quite peeved over
the defeat.
Otherwise the platform is the
usual populist platform that has
been handed down for forty years.
Dan Hogan Turned Down.
Dan Hogan introduced a resolu-
ton leading to third party and the
endorsement of Robert La Toilette,
also to send delegates to the meet
ing at Cleveland July 4th. 1t was
turned down so no attempt was
made for st. Paul. It was truly a
southern democrat convention with
large body of former socialists all
divided against themselves. The
Farm Labor Union was the most
hopeful sign of the convention. They
were not well organized but showed
large sense Of class solidarity and
an understanding of what farmers
and workers want. They have in
vited me to come to number of
places and present the trend OF the
movement Of farmer labor in the
northwest.
We viii start petition at once
for a Farmer-Labor Party. It re-
quires FIVE thousand signatures and
all we have to do is to name the
party and go to bat, as | understand
the resolution that passed for a
third party. We will call it the
Farm Labor Party Of Oklahoma.
The old farm labor party is dead
and does not count. 1t is like the
socialist party that had just six
people at the state convention.

The labor situation in this section
of the state is bad The Standish
Mills Company is laying off hands,
there being no orders ahead. The

Beach is not entirely reserved for
oil plotters and there are a few
more cold days left in this neck of
the woods, but the workers are
worrying as there are no jobs in
any other part Of the state.

OUT WITH DAUGHERTY!
Fake 5 Cent Trolley.
Fare Is Exposed by
~. Y. Correspondent

To The DAILY WORKER: I re-
Gently read in The DAILY WORK
Err that the Public Service Electric
Co. Of New Jersey had made profits
on five cent fare-meaning that
IL had reduced the fare from eight
cents TO five cents and was stealing
more money than before. believe
that it could be done, but, being a
resident Of the Public Service State
/ know that the p. S. did not actu-
ally reduce the fare. The p. s.
split the territory into zones. For
instance, from Passaic to Paterson
the fare used to be eight cents, with
one fare. Now the P. S. charges
two fares, at five cents each, totally
ten cents. No wonder the p. S.
makes money. Ten cents is more
than eight cents.-SEYMOUR ZAS-
KIN, Passaic, N. ].

into the tunnel. Indeed he did start to. Then he remembered Miner the Mole. It would be no worse to be caught by Old Man Coyote than to be caught by Miner the Mole Down in that tunnel there wouldn't be the teeni- est, weeniest chance of escape from Miner, and there was just the least bit of chance that somehow, he didn't know how, he might get away from Old Man Coyote. Fortunately Old Man Coyote was standing with his back to him. Holding his breath, Danny softly crept down the side of the little mound of earth which Miner had thrown up when he made the doorway at the end of his tunnel. Just beyond were two or three brown leaves. Danny crept under them. Just as he did so, out of the doorway he had just left came Miner the Mole, snapping his teeth in a terrible rage. Of course Old Man Coyote heard him. Like flash he turned and with two long jumps he was on the little mound. Danny didn't wait to see what happened then. He slipped out from under the leaves, and in the shelter of friendly Black Shadow he ran with all his might. He hoped Old Man Coy ote didn't catch Miner the Mole, He had no hard feelings against Miner, for he knew that he had no business to be in Miners tunnel Once he turned to look back. The moonlight fell full on that little mound, and what he saw was Old Man Coyote digging with all his might. By that he guessed that Old Man Coyote hadn't caught Miner after all and somehow that thought made Danny feel better. Then he turned his attention to getting away from there as fast as he could

Little Stories For Bedtime
Out Of The Frying.Pan Into The Fire
tBy THORNTON BURGEss)

KTOU KNOW that is an old saying
 which mans getting out of one kind of trouble into worse trouble. Danny Meadow Mouse, running as fast as he could along, the tunnel of Miner the Mole, wondered if that was what he had done. He had just escaped from Did Man Coyote by digging down into that tunnel where Old Man Coyote could not follow him. Now here he was with Miner the Mole gnashing his teeth n a terrible rage behind him, and he not knowing whether Of not there was an opening at the end of that tunnel. If kthere was he would be safe from Miner for Miner couldn't catch him on the 1 surface of the ground and wouldn' t try. If there wasn't an opening-well, Danny tried not to think of that. He just gritted his teeth and ran faster. He would haye to dig his way out and he would havS> to have time enough to do it before M lner could catch him.
 Would tHht tunnel ever end? Danny was beginning to breathe hard. Miner the Mole was slow enough on top of the ground but here in his tunnel he could move faster than Danny had any idea he could. And Miner was work ing himself into a terrible temper. Danny knew by the sounds that it would be quite useless to stop and try to tell Miner that he wasn't doing any harm there and that the only reason he was in there was because it had been his only chance to get away from Old Man Coyote. No, there was but | one thing for him to do and that was \to get out of there.

Ambitions And Books

oiC AAOlACl AoJo'
 My boy is in the adolescent period when he is continually thinking about what he is "going to be-" And, as is characteristic of his age, he is always changing his mind. I am not amused by his sudden enthusiasms. but believe that this is good time for him to get lot of information on different voca- tions, and so I take advantage of his changing interests. When he has de- cided to be a construction engineer, I bring home from the library a book about the experiences of such an en- gineer; when he changes to being a scientist I find some stories, which are truly fascinating, of the lives of great scientists.
