Republican Platform
Continued from Page Two
some, defective and eviiensive election
laws passed by the last democratic
legislature. And we demand the re-
peal of said laws, and the enactment
of a simple, fair, non-partisan pri-
mary el( i I ion law which will give ev-
ery voter the right to express his
c hoice at the polls, irrespective of his
politics, and the enactment of a gen-
eral eliction law which will return
the control of the elections to the
hands of local elective county, town-
ship and precinct officers Instead of
appointed partisans.
We di nounce the creation of use-
liss. highly compensated officers,
hoard! a id commissions created by
the di inc rutic legislature and gover-
nor of Oklahoma, The high taxation
and unjust schcmes of taxation pro-
vided b the democratic legislature
niaki our government onerous and
buidt nst i.ie and have contributed ti,
give our state an unsavory reputation
abroad as an Unsafe place in which to
invest or to transat I business, and has
frightened new investment from the
state, and caused capital and enter-
prise aln ady in our midst to stagnate
and falle i\ bringing about loss and
Income nil nee to employe as well as
employe r.
The re publican party first provided
for a prohibatory liquor law in the
provisions of the enabling act by
which the state was admitted into the
union of states. Since which the peo-
ple o fthe state have enacted its pro-
visions into state wide prohibition,
,ve. the refore, demand Its strict en-
force me ut to the end that the state
may enjoy the liighst standard of
citizenship, and that the will of the
pe ople as expressed at the ballot box
may be strictly obBerved.
The election of United tSates sen-
ators bj a direct vote of the people
has been made a tenet of the eiemo-
crntlc and embodied In the Denver
platform. In accord with such de-
claration. we favor the placing of the
names of senators selected at late
primaries on the ballot for the coin-
ing election in order that the peo-
ple may express their choice at the
ballot box as a «nl<ie lo the action of
the' in t legislature In the selection
'.'r tin' state. of Unit high official, and
demand that same lie done.
We> demand that the provisions of
the enabling act in reference to pro-
viding free public schools, seperuted
for whites and negroes shall be com-
plied with, and condemn the demo-
cratic party for its failure to provide
for the support and maintenance of
such seperate schools aud for repeal-
ing the law which had been found
sufficient for that purpose in the
courts of lust resort.
Realizing that all sources of wealth
of Oklahoma should be fostered in ev-
ery way by good and wholeseime law,
that agriculture « one of the great-
est resources of wealth; that the In-
telligence, coupled with proper ener-
gy, only, will bring the agriculturist
to the highest stunderd desired in an
Oklahoma farmer. Therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, the republicans
in convention assembled in Oklahoma
City, on August ]2tli , favor the en-
actment of good and vwjnlesome laws
to govern and protect the agricultural
and mechanical schejois of the state,
and eve r> other institution of learn-
ing calculated to impart that knowl-
edge to Oklahoma farmers necessary
(l make them masters in the art, and
if the republican party is allowed to
do so by the voters of the state, we
pledge ourselves to establish demon-
stration farms throughout the state,
under the supervision of the state
board of agriculture.
We denounce the actions of the
codifying commission who prepared
the lawB of the late legislature for
publication and making changes and
alterations in and destroying the
character of such bills as evideuce of
their original contents, the original
bills bearing the authentication of
the presiding officers of both houses,
and the approval of the governor and
on file In the office of the secretary of
state. And we censure the secretary
of state for prmlttiug these sacred
documents of which he is the custo-
eiiun, to be mutilated. The sacredness
of public records must lie preserved
and their authenticity should not be
open to suspicion.

FURNACE FOUND
Muskogee Officers Drive Out Two Men
Who Make Escape
Muskogee, Okla., Aug. 13.—The elen
of a gang of counterfeiters was dis-
covered in the city limits here today.
Several workmen commenced clearing
up a tract of ground which was for-
merly a nursery where the stock had
been allowed to grow for three years,
making a thicket of fruit trees, so
dense a man could scarcely penetrate
It. When the workmen commenced
clearing up the brush, a smoke was
seen coming from the middle of the
thicket. When ihey reached this spot
they found a brush house partially
burned dowr and near It a rude fur-
nace was where has been melted up
u lot of metal resembling silver.
Two men were driven from the
thicket and escaped. There is undis-
puted proof that counterfeiting had
been going on there. People living in
the vicinity of the thicket had often
seen suspicious characters dart In and
out and the place was shunned after
dark.
The thicket was so dense It made an
ideal retreat and was free from sus-
picion. Lots of counterfeit money has
been in circulation here recently. The
government has put men out to run
down the men driven from the thicket
today.
