Reassembling the constitutional
convention means tat everything
that ur reasonable acid oonsistent
will bo done to attain the coveted
boon of statehood for the people
of Oklahoma and Indian terri
nei v -
The people cannot hut be lm
pressed with the spirit of fairness
that is made manifest upon the
part of the democratic majority
of the const! tutidxlal convention
in making numerous concessions
to bvercome any sfefeious objections
to the organic law Quit might
serve as obstructions to immedi
ate statehood v 1
That this spirit of fairness will
be appreciated and result
ratification tf the const!
the coming election is apparent
from the great number of Teji&b
bean's Vho are outspoken m ther
assurances that they will vote for
the' adoption of the organic law if
several of the really objectionable
provisions are eliminated or
amended '
These republicans realise that
by ratification of the constitution
they ar& making sure and certCih
the triumph ol-democracy'in the
first' state election but they are
of that broad-minded class of citi-
zens who realize that the securing
of statehood and self-government
is of suprtme importance '
They airt aiio convinced in all
probability that the men who
hatefe4eu nominated on the dCifii
ocratic'staW ticket Ufe citizens of
character and iategrly of -broad
patriotism uid disposed to give
an administration - in -Rarmony
Mtfi' the orgahic 1 instrument and
for the best interests of the peo
pie
With this view of conditions it
makes' littidifiertnce to- the
average ‘republican voter that the
men who will constitute the first
state administration of Oklahbma
differ from them in "minor isms
of partisanship while on the
other hand h is a matter of su
preme importance that statehood
and the right of seli-goVernhient
be secured and at once
Broad-guafte men of all parties
aside from those who make tbd
game of partisan politics their
business in life frankly admit
that with the correction of a few
Admitted mistakes of the conven-
tion the proposed fundamental
