DEMOCRATIC' CANDIDATES
i DEMAND HONEST PRIMARY
I
t-
Wc as democrats asking to be
named as our party’s choice for
1 the various positions we seekjre-
j gard politics as a matter of jfrin-
’ ciple and in no sense personal
We have the highest respect for
our neighbors and friends who
(
differ with us on fundamental
c principles of government and are
confident this respect is recipro-
rated by them There can be no
4 party success without party soli-
I dity We therefore declare our-
selves as unalterably opposed to
i republican or socialists participat
I j ing in the democratic primary or
democrats interferring vdth re-
sd publicans or socialists in selecting
£ their nomineesv In this position
fsB We believe we will be sustained
by every honest citizen of what-
f F ever political faith and be criti-
' cised only by the political rene-
F gade I
Therefore we as candidates
and members of the democratic
rarty of Okfuskee county do
i j hereby unqualifiedly endorse sec-
I tion 10 of chapter 157 of the ses-
- sion laws in 1913 relating to the
r rights of the individual voters to
i votein a primary election for the
) nomination of party candidates
' and the spirit and intent of said
F laW
Ve condemn' the action of any
i person who seeks to vote or in-
! j duce others to vote for the nom-
‘ ination of any person in an
r'posine political party

SAME sentiment exists
i IN OKFUSKEE COUNTY
F Referring to the matter of so-
cialists and republicans taking
part in the democratic primary
Fnon1 equal terms with tried hnd
true ‘ democrats as advocated
Fofrom the stump in this county re-
' kently the Holdenville Democrat
the recognized organ of the
FoHughes county democracy says:
‘ "Any democratic candidate for
offi'ce large or small who advo-
cates the voting of republican or
FoSocialists in the coming demo-
cratic primary is not the kind of
a democrat who should be nomi-
nated All democrats who believe
Foinj-a: fair and straight primary
lection will agree with us in
this”
” All of which is heartily cr-
A dorsed by every real working
democrat in Okfuskee county not
because they are unfriendly to I
The socialists and republicans but
IH'Lecause they believe democratic
dominations should be made by
democrats for the upbuilding of
‘democracy and not by members
tof other parties for democrats
and the upbuilding of the enemies
