County Platform
We, ttie republicans of GarfleH
county, in convention assembled, do
hereby pledge our faith and fidelity
to the precepts, doctrines and tradi-
tions of Hie National Republican or-
ganization. Recognizing that from
its matchless leaders, whether it he
in the executive, legislative and judi-
cial departments of the government,
it has made a record that stamps it
as the foremost champion of the
rights of the common people.
It is needless to recount its hril-
liant victories. In every great nation-
al crisis that has arisen in the iast fif-
ty years, to him who reads, mustcome
the inevitable conclusion, that the
republican party, intenched upon the
eternal principles, liberty and pat-
riotism, stands preeminent as the
chosen party, whose mission among
men will close only with this civiliza-
tion. It is the party that does things;
a. party of stupendous activity; it nev-
er makes a promise that it does not
fulfill. It is the party of hope, of lib-
erty, of pratriotism, of law, of order;
it believes and teaches the doctorine
of equal privileges to all and special
favors to none.
It was a republican congress that
gave us all our anti-trust laws, and it
lias been a republican president
whose strenous demand for a square
deal has lined up both branches of
the congress to follow him, so that to
day all unlawful trusts and combina
tions are now upon the rack begging
forgiveness; a republican judge bears
the distinction of enforcing the
lew against the Standard Oil Corpora
tion in assessing up a tine of twenty-
nine and one fourty million dollars for
vrantonly violating the law of the
land.
It is our bold, fearless leader, the
matchles statesmen,the terror to gre d
and graft, our President, Theodore
Roosevelt, to whom all our people look
and hope fordeliverence from the now
eminent dangers threatening the
peace, happiness and prosperity of
our common country. We are taught
by experience, and time will disclose
that our President in pursuing the
even tenor of his way, will not per
tr.it to be slain the goose that, lays the
golden egg, but that where he stands
as the final arbiter between the coil
tending hosts of right and justice on
the one side and against the combin
■ed hoards of demagogues and idle ig
norance.led by political henchmen oil
the other, that he will meet the is-
sue squarely and will determine
without fear or favor. Ami we feel
secure and rest in the serene hope
that'thj people of the proposed statt
will have a final hearlnj Oefpre H13
Chief Magistrate from whose decision
there is 110 appeal.
A brutal majority calling them-
selves democrats—but in fact dema-
gogues—drunken with power, led by
the dangerous and unscrupulous lead-
♦ v, Haskell, after deliberating several
months—most of the time behind
(. " il doors, and after many personal
fu-1'iiuters among the accoucheurs—
there was delivered, or rather there
was given birth, a partisan monstrosi-
ty. so monstrous and >ydra-headed
that the righteous indignation of an
outraged people arose en masse and
^demanded that it be born again, after
it had been declared to be the fore-
most fundamental document of aP.
history, greater than Magna Chaita,
greater than the Federal Constitu-
tion. this aggregation of freebooters
again got together and have again
turned out, after t hirty odd changes
another document, and now ask its
adoption by the people.
We denounce the infamous, greedy,
partisan spirit which actuated the
late Constitution Convention, nomi-
nated and controlled by Haskell ^nd
his henchmen. They conceived in
secret partisan caucus and adopted
under tyrannical rule a document
which is hostile to the Federal gov-
ernment and its brave defenders
This document denies to each citizen
equal lights under t lie law with every
other dt'wn; deprives the minority of
their just proportion of representa-
tives; unfairly discriminates in favor
of one locality against another; in-
creases tlie l-urdt>n of taxation with-
out compensating benefits;lessens the
demand for labor and decreases wages;
antagogizes capital and depreciates
investments; repudiates public obli-
gations and destroys public credit,
and has already brought ablightupon
the fame and credit of the proposed
state, in the interest of a lotof town-
site grafters and boodlers it wantonly
and needlessly butchered county
boundaries and abolished existing
municipalities in disregard of the
wishes of the inhabitants, and over
their determined objections. It cre-
ates a state go ve mm ant with an army
officers whose fixed compensation for
their services, it will require revenue
to meet the expenses in asum that will
pauperize the taxpayers and bankrupt
the public treasury; It impairs theef
ticiency of our public school system by
providing Insufficient levies for school
revenves, thus shortening the school
terms, depriving our.children of ade-
quate educational privilegs besides,
archy by depriving our courts «' n
inherent power to adequately enforce
obedience to its orders for the protec-
tion of property and the preservatio
of the lives of our citizens. It will
naturally Increase the burden of tax-
ation upon real estate and correspond-
ing reduce farm values. By its Jdila-
tory tactics while in session it wasted
the appropriation wade by Congress
mid has piled up an enormous debt
for the taxpayers -f the state to pay.
It unjustly discriminates against re-
publican localities in favor of demo
cratic localities.
In the creation of courts and judi-
cial districts they committed the ex-
ecrable crime of attempting to make
the courts partisan and subject to po-
litical control and created special dis-
tricts for their own members. It de-
prives the Governor of the power to
suspend the Writ of Habeas Corpus,
in case of insurrection, or rebellion.
It is unrepublicau and violative of the
spirit of fairness and equality—it fail-
ed to make provision for the main-
tainance of separate schools.
The republican party, the specia
chair pion of the doctorine of a free
ballot and a fair count, concedes to
every elector the right to cast his
ballot as his enlightened judgement
and conscience uiay dictate. And in
the event this partisan monstrosity
shall become the fundamental law, we
pin our hopes upon the republican
party of the state to secure the speedy
elimination of its objectionable fea-
tures to make it conform to the needs
and requirements of the people of the
state. On the other baud, if the
judgment-of the voters of state, ex-
pressed at the polls shall be against
tills proposed constitution, if it shall
be rejected at the' polls or disapprov-
ed by our peerless president, we as-
sure the people that the national re-
publican party will exert its power to
have the.coming congress grant such
relief as our peopfe may be entitled
to, and make such provisions for a
new enabling act at the earliest date
possible, under which a constitution
for a state government may be formed
free from partisan bias and fair alike
to all persons and interests.
We favor a provision, by the first
State Legislature for the sale of the
School and Public building lands, un-
der the terms of the enabling act.
We endorse and ratify the action of
the republican convention at Tulsa,
of August 1 and 2, 1907, and pledge
our fidelity and support, to all of the
candidates nominated.from our fear,
kss champion, and fellow citizen
Frank Frantz, down to and including
the justices of the peace and con-
stables nominated at this convention.
We heartily endorse every decima-
tion set forth in the republican state
platform; we endorse the nomination
Kniedi'o ourselves to'secure
the election ui 1 .. .Ijn. Bird S. Mc-
Guire as Congressman from the First
Congressional District of Oklahoma.
We pledge the people of Garfield
county that if our condidates are
elected and they should qualify under
the proposed constitution and their
administration of affairs of the county
will be 6onducted upon safe and con-
servative methods, constantly guard-
ing the interests of the taxpayers of
the county.

Have Yon Sent in /our Dollar?
The legitima'e expenses of conducting the first
Republican Sta e Campaign are necessarily
very heavy They must be born by the friends
of the Republican i>arty in Oklahoma We are
not soliciting funds from corporations, trusts
or other similf"- organizations. We are ask-
iug the rank and file of the Republican party
in Oklahoma and the Indian Territory to con- I
tribute to our urgent needs
We Must all do our Part
Have you Sent in Your Dollar?
If you HAVE, you have received a souvenir
receipt testifying to the fact that you have ma-
terially assisted us in conducting our cam-
paign for the good of the New State -that you
have recognized the ability of the Republican
nominees—that you have endorsed our plat-
form—that you have driven a wedge for state-
hood and struck a decisive blow against Demo-
cratic misrule.
You Have Done Your Part
Have you Sent in your Dollar?
If vou have NOT, we urge you to realize the
position of your Campaign Committe. If ev-
ery Republican voter in the New State sends

they do not, we can not carry out half of our
plans for success. Do not say "My $1.00 will
not do any good." Drops of water make
oceans. If every loyal Republican heeds this
request, and sends his dollar NOW, we shall
achieve great success. We need this money.
One dollar now is better than ten dollars later.
