JOHN 3. ALLAN Editor
Hob. TW. E. Watson's Visw od a nat-
ional Platform.
The following platform U suggest-
ed by Hon. T. E. Watson, In the July
number of bU magizine;
1 —Direct legislation; election of
all officers by the people; the right
of recall.
2.—The Necewaries of life on
the Free List. Ports of entry in
Interior towns to be abolished.
Custom houses where outgo exceeds
Income to be closed. Import
duties to be laid upon luxuries, and
for Revenue, only.
3.—The Income and Inheritance
tan, to increase progressively as the
Income and inheritance increase.
4.—Repeal by congress of all laws
creating Federal Courts, excepting
the Supreme Court, whose appellate
Jurisdiction shall be abolished.
Io this manner the Federal judic-
iary can be practially wiped off the
face of the earth, and the corpor-
ations compelled to obey state courts.
5.—Public utilities to be owned and
operated by the public for the public
beneflt.
6.—All money to be created by the
government: the lending of public
money to corporations and Individ
uals to be prohibited; the public debt
to l>e paid off; no more bonds to be
i >ued or endorsed by the govern-
ment; the Act rechartering National
Ranks to be repealed; the financial
ay-item of the county to be that estab-
lished by the Constitution and practic-
ed by Jefferson, Madison Jackson and
Liooata.
1 —The prodigal extravagance of
the national government to be check
ed; the Increase in nrlltary and
haval expenditures stopped, the
Colonal Umpire nonsense abandoned;
the Philippines to be granted self-
government.
8.—No ship subsidy, or mail subsidy.
The compulsory use of steel cars
for the railway mail service: Postal
saving banks; the Parcels Post: the
continued extention of the Rural
Free Delivery t-ystem.
about these things; but if they wait
for the Oklahoman or its Guthrie
correspondent to tell them, the*;
never will know. Why do we make
this assersion? Because we believe
that if the truth were told concern
ing transactions and relations that;
have transpired and still exist, be- j
tween the railroads, Book Trust,;
Lumber Trust, Grain Trust, Oil'
Trust, Coal Trust, Beef Trust, Bank
Trust, Insurance Trust and other
grafts,and democrat and republican
territorial officials and legislators, a |
democrat or republican, as such,
would not warm a seat in the con-1
stitutional convention or in the new
state government. It would com-1
p'etely annihilate both of the old
parties in Oklahoma and the editor
of the Daily Oklahoman isconsciou.
of this fact. The same thing is true
in the Nation. The old parties are
not going to tell all they know abou-
each other. They may hint around
on one another, for the purpose of
securing political advantage, as the
Oklahoman is noted for, but there
«re too many democrats tarred with
the same stick republicans are tar-
red with and too many of them with
a share of the same spoils in their
pockets for either of them to desire
any vast amount of investigating. O

8 Old Settlers Reunion %
and Picnic •
We noticed an article in last
Tuesday's Daily Oklahoman from
its Guthrie correspondent that con-
tained some very broad hints, to-
gether with an inference of know
ledge of some very shady transac-
tions the School Book Trust and
certain territorial officials and legis
latOrs were mixed up in, with the
suggestion that an investigation of
some of the deals in connection
with the passage of smme legislative
measures, the purchasing of music-
al instruments for territorial schools
the offer of liooo for the appoint
ment of a certain individual as ter-
ritorial superintendent of public in
struction and whether certain va
cancies have been created in one of
the schools of the territory for the
purpose of making a place for other
teachers who hold a club over one
member of the Regents board and
as to whether junketing trips to
Washington by certain politicians
were paid by book trust people.
The correspendent winds up his ar-
ticle by a) ing, " I'he people would
like to know about these things."
Ctr'Kinly, they would like to know
Eugene V. Debbs was in Okla-
homa City the first of the week de-
livering a lecture at the Chautauqua.
In an interview he said "that in a
few years there will not be any dem-
ocrat party. The radical democrats
will align themselves with a progres-
sive party and the conservative dem
ocrats will join the republican par-
ty." A party with two elements in
it so equally balanced, one a radical
and the other a conservative^* to be
led and policy dictated in one cam-
paign by one element and in next
campaign by other element, is soon
discredited by both elements. Had
the democrat party stood steadfast
in advanced positon taken in 1896,
it might have, in time, won; but in
1900 it began to retreat, and in 1904
it surrendered to the conservative
element, and going back to Bayan-
isra now will avail it nothing. The
conservatives will sulk, if not actual-
vote the republican ticket, and the
people generally will not trust it. A
man who will shout for Bryan iu
one campaign and for Parker in the
next, when the two men stand as
representatives of directly opposite
policies, will soon make the discov-
ery that his political convictions
are not taken seriously by his fel-
low men.

lhe spectacle of five republican
nominees for congress campaign
ing for several months without an
issue with no opponent in the field
will promote the gayety of nations
to furnish amusement for the masses
during the dull season--Daily Okla-
homan.
Pshaw; Cleveland County Demo
crats Nominated a full set of County
officers June 9th and they are now
in the field campaigning for offices
not even created to be filled and
furnishing just about as much gay-
ety as people can stand in Cleveland
county.
Did you ever hear of or know an
Irish band in your life? No. Why?
Is there no brass music in the sons
of Erin? Yes, plenty of it. Then
hy no Irish band*? Because they
have never been able to agree on
leader. They all must be leaders,
or they won't play in the band
The democrats in Oklahoma are
possessed of much of this I fish
spirit.
Up until Cleveland made a record
for the democrat party, democrats
had only record of republican party
to fight; but ever since they have
bad their own as well as the republi
can record to fight. This perhaps ac-
counts for the side steppiog the dem-
ocrat party ha9 been doing since 1896.
Tom Taggart insists that he was
not running a gambling establish-
ment, but he would like to get hold
of the party who put the police onto
him.
