HASKELL A TRICKSTER.
A few weeks ago the democrats of
the two territories and Mr. Haskell
In particular, declared that the repub-
licans had never specifically pointed
out evils in the constitution but that
they had condemned solely in general
terms.
When the convention reconvened
Mr. Murray read a copy of a letter to
the president of the United States In
which he declared that all charges
had been general and that no specific
charges had been made. He declared
the only opposition to the constitution
came from officials who wished to re-
tain their Jobs, the corporate press
and the trusts.
In the last Issue of Haskell's paper
there is given a list of twenty-six
changes alleged to have been demand-
ed by the republicans.
The first statement made by Has-
kell that no specific wrongs had been
polnteo out was false and that it was
false every sane person in the state
knows.
Mr. Haskell knew he was not telling
the truth when he made the assertion.
Mr. Haskell knows that he states
that which is false in most of the al-
leged twenty-six demands.
Mr. Haskell resorts to small poll-
tics when he writes a list of demands
made by republicans most of which
were not suggested by any republi-
can.
The republicans, as such, made no
demands but republicans as Individu-
als demanded a correction of the ger-
rymander. the elimination of provision
giving legislature power to disfran-
chise citizens and the elimination of
the provision giving legislature power
to pass upon the election of state of-
ficers.
Haskell In the fake demands says
the republicans demanded the elim-
ination of eight hour provision, tho
provision for primary election, limita-
tion of taxes, to prevent discrimination
In trade, limiting rate of interest, for
electing United States senators by di-
rect vote, etc.
When Mr. Haskell says that republi-
cans demanded such changes he de-
liberately makes a false statement.
If republicans were to say these
things should be attended to by the
legislature and that the constitution
Is no place for provisions which might
need changing within a year, they
would be on the side of common
sense. A man honored with the nom-
ination for governor of the state,
phould be honest with the people.
SThls article confirms the charge made
by the Oklahoman and other demo-
cratic papers prior to his nomination,
that he Is a political trickster and
nothing else.
hend the propositions set forth In this I lng with corporations, so that it almost
organic? law by a thorough examina- begins to look as though the people of
tion of the printed copies to be fur- | the fledgling state
nlshed the public. It Is fortunate that
the people should have such a brief
few weeks to examine this document
which has been framing for nine
months, but tho people must make
the best of a bad botch of constitution
making.
The republicans are the victims of
this political jobbery of men Intrusted
with tho sacred mission of framing t
constitution for ourselves and our pos
terlty. But ten or fifteen days will
elapse before the republicans must
meet In convention assembled In Tul
sa to consider this constitution in its
entirety and commit the party to a
settled policy. It is a short time, but
the republicans will prove themselves
equal to the emergency. If the con
stitutlon Is found to be un-American
un-republlcan in form and disfran-
chising the republican party, then the
party will declare war upon the docu
ment and defeat it at the polls. But
if the amendments are found to be
sufficient to permit the republicans
to swallow It, then the republican:
will go forth to battle prepared to de
stroy the pollcal enemy. Whether for
or against the constitution, the repub-
lican policy will be for statehood, as-
suring beyond peradventure
doubt, a new enabling act In the event
of the defeat of the present unfair
document, within sixty to ninety days
But whatever the decision of the
state convention, the policy so adopt
ed should and will be the policy of
the whole party. This is a critical
hour In the history of the party, and
by standing strongly and unitedly, pre-
senting a solid front to the enemy,
with full confidence instilled Into ev
ery breast and unfaltering trust In
the ultimate triumph of the republl
can principles, a sweeping victory can
be won at the polls. The fifteen hun-
dred and seventy-six delegates repre
sent the whole party. They will come
strong In the faith, but differing some-
what as to the best manner to fight
the political enemy, but the battles
will be fought out on the convention
floor and the will of the majority be-
come determined, fully settled, strong
and unwavering policy of the repub
llcan party in the first statehood bat

A COMPARISON
tie.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND OK
LAHOM A STATEHOOD.
The Oklahoman continues to Inter'
pret republican rules, regulations and
customs always In such a way as to
produce a great row.
There will be no bloody fight auionf
the republicans of this OoBnty. over
any Insignificant difference of opinions
as to Wnat should aui ukouli nut oave
been done.
Kansas City Times: Th* report
from Oklahoma that the Republicans
are still dissatisfied with the legisla-
tive apportionment as amended by
the recent session of the constitutional
convention adds the information that
"President Roosevelt will be Impor
tuned by Republicans to see that the
Republican party In the new state gets
a Square Deal."
It is hardly probable that President
Roosevelt will use his power to help
the Republican party at the expense
of justice to the people of Oklahoma.
But the President will undoubtedly
exercise his authority in behalf of
Spuare Deal for every man In the ne%
state. And this he will do without the
importunity of the Oklahoma Repub
Ucans.
Statehood is not a question of parti-
san politics, and the President must
have grown weary with the office grab
bers and professional politicians of
both parties In Oklahoma who have
attempted to use his administration to
bolster up their ambition to "work
the question for personal gain.
If there Is a provision In the constl
tutlon which the Democratic majority
placed there for purely political efTect
to aid In defeating the will of the vot
ers of the state an appeal to the peo-
ple of Oklahoma would perhaps be
quite as effective as an appeal to the
President, for the people would hardly
ratify a partisan constitution.
Oklahoma desires statehood, but the
politicians are acting upon the theory
that the only Issue involved is the
right of certain "leaders'* to hold of-
fice.
The green bugs did vast damage to
wheat in this section of the state, but
Oklahoma Is thrashing out a good
deal just the same. A man In the
thrashing business near Manchester
thrashed 2100 bushels of wheat the
very first day his machine was In oper-
ation.
Those who know anything about
tfifftahlog know thgt the wheat would
litVe to be good to make this possible
even after the machinery was well ad-
Justed snd the thrashing corps waa
well organized,
•ourtlng those
economic monsters. Domestic corpor
atlons, at least, may merge, and fore-
ign corporations may remove proceed-
ings from state to federal courts.
These are not all the changes that are
being made by any means, but they
will suffice to hint the anguish which
must constrict the Bryan intellectuals
as he Aads about them, only to note
further that the reported disposition
of the convention is to undo Its prev-
ious work to any extent which may
be necesarys to make the. constitution
unobjectional. To whom It Is to
made unobjectionable is not said—per-
haps to the proponents of that extend-
ed list of objections which the attor-
ney general of the United States re-
cently transmitted to the president of
the Oklahoma constitutional conven-
tion as having been "filed with the
president and with the department of
justice."
Who these objectors may be who
are to be placated we have no means
of knowing, but we know that Mr.
Bryan is not one of them. By so
much as the others are pleased and
gratified, by that much will he be
grieved and disheartened. As the con
stltution for the new state of Oklaho-
ma came from the delegates In the
first place it won his enthusiastic ap-
proval. There never was such
constitution, he sakl. when
called upon to address the Dem-
ocratic state convention when it met
to ratify the state ticket chosen at the
primaries and prepare otherwise for
the coming election. It put all other
constitutions in the shade:
You have the best constitution to-
day of any other state In the Union
and a better constitution than the con-
stitution of the United States."
That is what the great Nebraska
authority on constitutions told the peo
pie of Oklahoma less than a month
ago, and here the framers of its won-
ders and authors of Its perfections are
pruning and clipping it and exercising
and modifying just as though Mr.
Bryan had called It the worst consti-
tution in the world This repudiation
of Bryan Is pitiful enough, but we are
sure that It is not this aspect which
auses Mr. Bryan the most exquisite
mental suffering, but the reflection
that Oklahoma Is now In a fair way
to have a constitution not only no whit
better than the constitution of
other state, but very possibly
tched a constitution as that silly
and futile old Instrument under which
the country has been deteriorating
the United States for about two and
a half times as long as Mr Bryan
years old.

has been for the nomination of a full
ticket at the Tulsu convention.
It stands there yet. Could a ticket
be kept out of the field, the stluatlon
would be different.
But there would be a ticket. The
kickers and county seat speculators
woyld put out a ticket.
Then there would be two state com-
mittees and a inunk ticket—mere dem
ocratlc aid societies.
There is no inconsistency In the
nomination of a ticket and lighting
the constitution.
Our candidates will not be put out
for office. They will be out as the of-
fical mouth pieces « f the republican
party to voice Its sentiment against
the Iniquitous Instrument proposed as
a constitution.

What republican would endorse It?
There can surely be no republican at
Tulsa who will advocate endorsing the
alledged constitution. Such a one
would either be a sham republican or
crazy—for what republican could
vote to endorse a document so cursed
In construction, that a convention
democratic delegate could de.inn* that
the gerrymander has been so made as
to give the democrats an absolute cer-
tainty of sixty majority In the legis-
lature.
The people should not endorse a
constitution that by its out-
rageous extravagance will saddle on
the backs odf the taxpayers a million
dollars a year for state government
and that will bankrupt all the smaller
counties of the state.
Bear In mind that not one of the
villanious taxation extravagances of

What Should He
The Times-Journal opposed
adoption of the constitution unlesi
was so changed as to make It fair to
all parties and so that It could be ac-
cepted by the president. The dele-
gates met and made many changes
and if these changes are fair and so
the president can accept it, The Times-
Journal believes that the republic
at Tulsa should name a ticket and
make a tremendous effort to elect it.
On the other hand the delegates did
not remove the objectionable features
then every republican In that
tlon should vote to fight the adoption
of the fraud of a constitution In the
most effective manner possible.
By the time the convention meets
the changes can be studied and these
men selected by the republicans of the
state for that purpose, will decide
whether the changes are adequate and
what shall be done In the matter.
If the delegates conclude that It Is
the duty of the republicans to fight
the constitution they will have to de-
termine whether a

The members of th
convention met and made, or pretend-
ed to make, thirty changes In ths
constitution. It will make no differ- |
enc« whether the changes were really
made or not, the fact that the demo-
cratic committee took up the charges
and admitted changes should be made,
confirms the correctness of the con-
tention of those republicans who de-
manded changes. What republicans
demanded changes In the constitution
or demanded a fight? All tho republi-
can new-papers In the two territories
except one which Is In the employ
of the democratic committee, all the
county conventions but one and every
writer apd speaker In the state.
Were there any of these republicans
opposed to aceptlng the constitution
If properly changed? Certainly not.
All republicans want statehood and
hey will get it In the near fu-
ture. They know that If they cannot
honorably accept the constitution
drafted by th. democratic slate com-
mittee, they can *• cure permission to
write a new one just a*- stain as -on-

The democrats were compelled to
acknowledge the Justness of the claim
and the attention of the people of
the whole United States has been
called to the unfalrne.--- « f the docu-
ment and to Its unwleldly code fea-
tures. The fact that thousands ..!
people outside Oklahoma have made a
study of a code called the constitu-
tion, makes It certain that H must be
fair and must be in harmony with
the enabling act or It will never be
accepted by President Roosevelt.

BUILDING A METROPOLIS.
Eor years the post office receipts
have shown a regular Increase, ono
onth after another, of about 25 per
nt. over receipts of the same month
the preceedlng year. This regu-
larity shows the growth to be sub-
stantial and that the growth has bee®

luring each year when for a week r
two at a time, the movement of e-
ah state was checked. These hava
proved that there is nothing fore d
■ r unnatural in the growth of the
city A boom nurtured by specula-
tors when one. burst i • ne\ r put in
motion .igaln. When an artUhial
boom or one not founded on the de-
mands of trade, ceases to grow, col-
lapse follows with undevlatlng cer-
tainty. The very fact that from tlmo
to tlmo during the last six year- th< re
have been small lulls proves that
every advance has been made on a
real demand. Building (never has
gone ah-ad of the demand because
when there is the least slakenlng up
for two or three weeks works begins
again with greater force than ever.
There is not a building or bu ln< sh
In the metropolis but that came on
urgent demand and the demand is as
great as ever and this demand will

real city.
Tuls
stat«' convention will be held at
August first which is but
few days away. The tlrst thing the
delegates- to that convention will de-
cide will be whether the party shall
fight the constitution. The second in
importance if a light is determined
upon, will be whether a state ticket
shall be named. If that convention
decides to accept the constitution so
that a tleU.-t is put in the field and
unties are advised to name tickets,
e delegates to the last convention
this county will be called together
soon as possible to put in nomi-
nation a county ticket.

the part of County chairman Eacock,

sary expense of a second caucus.

Just exactly what those changes are
before concluding they are satisfac-

all political deals cannot be trusted.
One other thing should be settled and
that Is as to whether the delegates
can be recalled to once more amend
the constitution. It should be definite-
ly settled that no further changes
can be made in the document before
the republicans accept It. Haskell's
crowd of tricksters cannot be trusted
to stand by an agreement.
Why would not this be a good
time for the Ohio republicans of the
two territories to organize an Ohio
association. It would be a compli-
