REPUBLICAN PLATFORM IBB
Adopted By the Territorial Convention
at Guthrie April Seventh.
The Republicans of Oklahoma in convention
assembled, hereby declare:
1. We hereby give our enthusiastic and un-
qualified endorsement to Theodore Roosevelt.
We commend his high citixenship and exalted
reason of public policy. We believe his admin-
ittration is the highest standard of popular
government, for which the Republican party
lias always stood. We believe the nomination
and election of Roosevelt will be a declaration
for the purest and best government, worthyof
the most exalted American citixenship.-We
hereby instruct the delegation elected by this
convention to the national convention to vote
for Roosevelt as the enthusiastic desiro of the
people of Oklahoma.
2 In the Hon. B. S. McGuire the territory has
a representative at Washington who commands
the admiration and respect of all the poople
and whose valuable services and careful and
intelligent nttention to the interests of our

IN ACTIVE HOSTILITY.
Democrats Proclaim Their
Enmity to the indus-
tries of the Country.
The platform adopted at St Louis
is a patchwork compromise, and as
a whole does not satisfy either the
conservative or the radical elements
of the Democracy. It is plati-
tudinous and commonplace. It
presents no paramount issue and
offere nothing that will commend
it to the intelligent judgment of
the country. It speaks ot funda-
mental principles and defines none
not now recognized and in opera-
tion. It calls for economy and
honesty in the administration of
the government, which is desired
by every citizen. The record of
Democratic administration, how-
ever, offers no guaranty that if that
party Bhould again be restored to
power it would practice economy.
On the Tariff it maintains the
party’s traditional position, de-
nouncing Protection as robbery
and favoring a Tariff for revenue
only. The first draft of the plat-
form took a conservative position
on this question, but the anti-Pro-
tection element was able to carry
its demand and place the party
again in an uttitude of hostility to
the industries of the country whose
maintenance and development are
essential to the welfare of labor.
In iguoring the money question
the sound money Democrats made
an inglorious surrender to the rad-
ical element which places the party
in an embarrassing position. It
leaves as the only authoritative
declaration of the democracy on
this question the money plank of
the Kansas City platform. That
this will seriously trouble the party
in the campaign is not to be
doubted. It will not be sufficient
for it to say that the money issue is
dead, in view of the fact that hun-
dreds of thousands of Democrats
are still devoted to silver and that
their representatives in the national
convention were able to prevent
committing the party to the gold
standard.
The denunciation of trusts and
combinations expresses praotically
universal sentimont. Republicans
are as strongly opposed to monopo-
listic combinations as are Demo-
crats, and the former have Bhown
their hostility by enacting and en-
forcing anti-trust legislation. 1 ho
St Louis platform offers no prac-
ticable plan or proposition for deal-
ing witli trusts and combinations,
which is quite in Keeping with the
failure of the Democratic party to
onaot any anti-trust legislation

preted as a stand for statehood
The Oklahoma fellows wanted a
plank for immediate stutehood for
Oklahoma end the Indian Territo-
ry as on? state. The convention de-
clared for immediate seperale state-
hood for New Mexico and Arizona.
Why do the Democratic leaders
hesitate to express themselves as
a gainst joint statehood for Okla-
homa and Indian Territory ? Such
sentiment was expressed at the late
Democratic convention without re-
serve. The Democratic senators are
uncompromising against single
stutehood. Why? They hope to se-
cure four more Democratic slates in
the west with eight Democratic sen-
ators. They think that New Mexico,
Arizona and Indian Territory
will be Democratic and believe
that they have a fighting chance to
win in Oklahoma under statehood.
The Democrats in Oklahoma who
are posing as statehood promoters
are in a peculiar position. They ad-
vocate what they know will be repu-
diated by their party at Washing-
ton.—Ex.
fine growth, so that fall pasture
will be good, which with the abun-
dance of feed being raised this sea-
son will enable the farmers to bring
their stock through the coming
winter in good condition. We pre-
dicted early in the spring that the
failure of the wheat crop was a
blessing in disguise, and our proph-
ecy is being verified. As an agri-
culture and stock country southern
Woods county is unexcelled.
Four years ugo the Democrats
condemned the Republican party
on the grounds of imperialism; that
issue is now acknowledged to have
died along witli free silver, and it
declares that our administration of
foreign possessions is a failure with
the same complucency as they de-
clared forty years ago that the war
was a failure. Verily,history re-
peats itself.
Why “Gradual?”
In one sentence denouncing Pro
tection as robbery, almost the next
phrase of the Democratic platform
guarantees the “gradual revision”
of the existing Protective Tariff!
What’s that? Protection a robbory
that is to be correced “gradually?”
It is as though a thief caught red
handed, stood in the prisoners’
dock to be thus addressed by the
judge:
I find you, sir, convicted of pick-
ing pockets. Tlie sentence of this
court is that you gradually revise
your thievish propensity, and that
you diminish the number of pock-
ets picked from day to day and
from week .to week, until finally
you cease altogether to pick pock-
ets. You may go.”
If it be true that “Protection is
robbery,” then there should bo
nothing "gradual” about suppress

3. We are proud of the business sense and
purity exhibited in the territorial government
of Oklahoma. The condition of public affairs of
our territory under the wise guidance of
Governor T. B. Ferguson proves the superiority
of Republioan government. He lias put into
practice the principles of public fidelity laid
down by president Roosevelt, requiring a strict
adherence to them by all his official family.
4 We reaffirm the declaration of the Repub-
lican party for the right of every citizen to cast
one free and untrammeled vote and to have that
vote honestly counted. .
5. Wo congratulate the people of this terri-
tory, as a part of the great middle west, on the
wise statesmanship of President Roosevelt and
<us administration in the completion of the ne-
gotiations necessary to the building of the Pan
amn canal, which, when completed, will widen
the markets of our country and add immeasur-
ably to the value of the products of the farms
and workshops of the entire country.
6. The Republican party has declared for
twelve years for immediate statehood for Okla
homa, agreeing that the Indian Territory be at-
tached when its conditions made it ready.
We endorse, therefore, the bill by the commit-
tee on territories which 1ms been introduced by
Chairman Hamilton nnd now pending in the
lower house of congress; nnd we urge the im-
mediate passage of this bill, that the people of
Oklahoma may have that soveregnty which
their wealth, imputation nnd exalted citizen-
ship so thoroughly entitle them to.
7. We congratulate the people of Oklahoma
on tlie acknowledgment by congress of the dec-
laration of the Republican party of Oklahoma
in the Inst enmpnign for some plan of equaliza-
tion of the school funds of Oklahoma and In-
dian Territory, in tlie appropriation bv con-
gress of five million dollars in lieu of school
ands in the Indian Territory as a partial offset
for the splendid school lnud endowment of Okla-
homa. We point to this as the direct result of
the imlicyof the Republican party in the last
campaign.
8, We heartily approve of the action of a re-
publican congress in providing for the reclama-
tion and development of the arid and soini-
arid lands of the west by the inauguration and
construction of a substantial system af irriga-
tion works under government supervision, and
in ns much as Oklahoma has contributed large-
ly to the National Irrigation Reclamation fund (
wo maintain that as far as possible, there ,
should be a proportionate expenditure in the ,
construction of diversion, storage and distrib-
uting systems in the western part of Oklahoma.
We, therefore, especially commend the activity
of our dologato In congress, Honorable Bird S.
McGuire, ill liis firm and insistent efforts to se-
cure tlie promise of early action to that end.
0 We endorse the national and territorial
Kood roads movement. We pledge our encour-
agement in every way possible to the bottermpnt
of the highways of Oklahoma and to the fur-
therance of tlie various organizations in tilts ter-
ritory for this purpose.
10. Wo favor tne early allotment of the In
dian reservations within the territory and that
Indian lands will be subject to taxation and
hour tlieir Just share of the oxpenso of gov-
ernment, that civilization will surround every
person in the fcorrritory.
,11. In furtherance of the principles ennnci-
Hied hitherto by tlie» Republican party and ill
justice to a loyal ally in said party resolve;
That we heartily endorse the resolution passed
by the Indian Territory asking incorporation
of tlio “Quay Suffrage amendment” in the state-
hood bill when passed by congress.
12. Wo invito the peoplo of Oklahoma to as-
sist the Republican party in the election of its
candidates ns tho surest way for the accom-
plishment of good government, nationally, ter-
ritorially and locally. The history of Oklahoma
in congress proves that tlio only way to accom-
plish anything for the territory, iHby the elec-
tion of a Republican delegate.
