The constitutional delegates are

Henry Asp is like a bound boy at a

or keep out of the game.

The delegates are going to give us
he :>est constitution ever presensed to
u people. This is the ambition of them
all.

Some editors are blaming the repub-
lican defeat on the voter* who *taved
at home. Thin is another explanation
that doesn't explain. There were
just os many democrats who stayed
away from the polls as there were re-
publicans. in Perkia* township .perhaps
more.
000
Before the election the Asp-McGuire
republicans insisted that the republicans
should write the constitution; but the
people decided that the democrats
should write it -and the people are the
wisest. However Asp himself managed
to get a seat in the convention by a
successful gerrymander of a small ne-
gro ward in Guthrie.
000
The result of the election would indi-
cate that it is the duty of the constitu-
tional convention not to write prohibi-
tion for Oklahoma in the constitution of
the new state, nor to ignore the ques-
tion, but to submit a separate clause for
prohibition in the western half of the
new state to be voted on separately
from the rest of the constitution by the
people of Oklahoma territory only.
000
It appeare now that the claim made
by the anti-saloon league, immediately
after the election, that 70 per cent of
the delegates elected are pledged to
constitutional prohibition, is without
foundation. Neither are th<^ Indian
Territory delegates, as they hoped,
going to impose prohibition upon Okla-
homa against the wishs of the people.
The delegates from that part of the
coming state are, generally speaking,
broad and liberal, and not inclined to
deal arbitrarily with Oklahoma in any
matter.
