appeal in the Oklahoma City $62,000

Ing faith and allegiance to the prin-
ciples of the party as outlined In the
nationnl platform of the national con-

state convention in substance follows:
The progressive party is the "na-
tional party” nnd is better qualified to
deal efficiently with the problems of
modern lire and appeal without offense
or embarrassment to every section of
our common country.
“The progressive party Is the only
party that stands unreservedly for the
rule of the whole people, or that has
proposed practical measures for re-
serving to the people the power to ex-
ercise self government.
"The progressive party Is the only
party that does not attempt to cripple
business or Industrial growth by un-
natural legislation, but would set busi-
ness free to expand at will, reserving
the right of the government to regu-
late the same In the Interest of so-
ciety.
•The progressive party Is the only
party pledged to s practical program
for securing social and Industrial Jus-
tice according to the doctrine that hu-
man welfare Is above all other con-
siderations.
"The history of the state and na-
tion since August. 1912, has Justified
the creation of tha progressive party.

scientious scruples or as a matter of
party expediency, public sentiment, or
on account of the financial welfare of
any person.
“NVe believe that the ownership of
oil mills in this state by any individual
or corporation should be limited to
such an extent that the ownership
would not interfere with fair compe-
tition in the purchase of cotton seed
and we believe the right of the oil
mills or any stockholder therein to
own or to have any interest in cotton
gins should he limited or prohibited.
“Usury being a detriment to the de-
velopment of the resources of the state
and a great burden to the poor of the
state, we favor a law which will, in
addition to the present statutes plaea
a fine on the practice of same and on
a second offense a prison term ba
provided.
“We stand for a square deal to all
persons, who have toiled to improve
the school lands of the state, including
therein their right to royalties on pur-
chased land and favor the program of
Ihe right cf the lessee to purchase oil
and gas leases on such lands when
