IS NOT A PARTISAN QUESTION.
Hon. Selwyn Douglas, of Oklaho-
ma City, on the "Initiative
and Referendum" in the
Chandler News.
It is, perhaps, undisputed that
the American people are the most
conservative free people in the
world in regard to political mat-
ters. In every other department
of life they are quick to adopt in-
ventions and advantages. But
they are slow to adopt innovations
in politics. Because Washington
had been charged with wishing
to make himself a king, he declin-
ed a third election to the presi
can hardly bo said to have been
heretofore a party principle in
partisan politics. If I mistake
not, the populist party first an-
nounced it as plank and principle
in a party platform some twenty
odd years ago. For thi« the pop
ulist party is entitled to much
credit. But the populist party
has since had control for a
brief period of several state
governments and I do not now
recall that it ever attempted to
put the principle into the organic
law of any of these states. The
democratic party has had abso-
lute control of a number of states
for a peViod of thirty years, a
control that embraced every de

Cooper Township for Prohibition.
J. N. Higby in the Kimriisher Star.
Seven-eighthsof Cooper Town-
ship have signed the voters' pro-
Irbition pledge, regardless of
party lilies, and the work is go-
ing on in Otter, Coronado and
Reserve townships. Among the
signers we have doctors, preach-
ers and farmers. There appeal 8
to be a disposition on the part of
our political leaders at head
quarters to dominate our primar-
ies and county convention. This
has been practiced heretofore.
Often times our better candi-
dates have been turned down
through those factions and the
influence of the liquor trust and
we wish to say right here that
their harvest is past, and their
summer is ended. For the sake
of those who suffer most from
the liquor traftic, namely the
wives of drunkards and their
children here goes for prohibi-
tion in the constitution, die or
live, survive or perish,
The fact that the better citizens
of Oklahoma are up against this
thing in dead baruest and in the
Two years ago, a part of
the Republican county ticket
was turned down for this reason
The democrats elected, came out
on Temperance issue, asked Tein
perance Republicans to vote for
them on this issue, and now their
constituents expect them to sign
this voters pledge or forever hold
their peace.
There is no question but what
ihc sentiment of the majority of
both territories is for prohibi
bitiontopermeatethe whole state.
Mr. Kane, the Democratic
delegate for the Convention, sub
ject to the Democratic Primary
appears to bo on the anxious
seat. He apjiears to be anxious
to know whether the party circu
lating this prohibition pledge will
be able to deliver their goods in
the October primaries and on
November 6th. We will answer
it, by saying that if Mr. Kane
stands pat on the position he
now occupies, we would advise
him to do one of two things-
make him a good stout boat and
be ready to launch it on Salt
River, or do the right thing that
every home loving citizen should
do, that is to namely subscribe to
the voters prohibition pledge.
We will give Mr. Kane the op
portunity to sign it or any other
candidate, regardless of party
lines.
We wish to state in conclusion
that we are not a socialist, but
with our hundred subscribers to
to this petition, we have failed to
find a socialist who refused to
sign the pledge and Democrats
and Republicans are about equal
for and against but the opposition
is very small indeed.
