This is in anticipation, of course, |
of the day when the United States
will control the commerce of the
Pacific ocean, and be the para-
mount power in Asia. The Com-
mission will not be able to control
the Panama railroad until next
April. After that time it is ex-
pected the carrying trade from
this country to the Isthmus will
be thrown open to competition.
At present there is but little ma-
terial to transport. _
j Van Brunt Wheat Drills j
In his letter of August 16th to
the Grand Army in Boston the
; President foreshadowed his policy
regarding the Filipinos. He said:
• ‘Under the lead of your comrades
the Philippine Islands were won
i or the cause of civilization, of civ-
: 1 liberty, and of peace and jus-
tice.” This is all any reasonable
people can ask for, and with these
will come prosperity and content-
ment. _'
There is considerable anxiety
manifesting itself among the Dem
ocrats regarding the part Messrs
Bryan and Hearst will take in the
campaign. This is amusing, when
one considers with what scant
courtesy they have been treated by
those who are now running the
party. If Bryan and Hearst were
of Buch slight consequence before
the St. Louis convention it can be
of little importance what they do
or say since the convention.
In an article sometime ago, we
charged Lon Holmes of Liberty
township of violating his instruc-
tions and voting in opposition to
the wishes of his township. It
now seems that ho had no specific
instructions and our charge work-
ed an injustice to him. Mr.
Holmes is a republican and while
our article looked like a personal
attack, the matter has been ex-
plained and he is ready to stand
by the ticket as selected at Carmen.
President Roosevelt can see no
good reason why mechanics em-
ployed in the Washingtori Navy
Yard, who have half a day off on
Saturday, should not be paid for
that half day as well as clerks who
are in the employ of the Govern-
ment. At all events he has induc-
ed the comptroller of the Treasury
to take his view of the matter and
now people who work with their
hands and brains in the District
of Columbia will be treated on the
same footing as those who work
witli their brains.
The Pops of Kansas do not see
any benefit to be derived in voting
for Parker, Wall Street’s presiden-
tial "eandidate, and will vote for
Roosevelt. It iB estimated that
Roosevelt will carry Kansas by 60
000.
Frank Matthews, the democratic
nominee to Congress seems to have
lost out with the school land lessees
where he expected to get much
strength, His record in the legis-
lature is too plain and oan not be
explained away. His vote killed
the bill the lessees ware asking to
have passed!
Senator Fairbanks, the vice-pres-
idential candidate on the Republi-
can ticket, will be at Marion, Kan.,
September 1st. and assist in open-
ing the eorapaign in that state.
Marion is the home of E. W. Hoch,
Republican nominee for govern-
or and from all indications the meet-
ing will be the largest that has been
held in the state for a good many
-years.
It is generally admitted that this
year New York is a doubtful state,
and the political fight will be as
hot there as in any state in the
Union. It has not yet been decid-
ed who will be the candidate for
governor for either party, but it is
understood that Mr. Root posi-
tively declines to run. Col. La-
mont says the nomination has not
yet been offered to him. Whoever
runs for governor, neither party
will surrender the state without a
desperate effort to hold it. It is
the Port Arthur of the situation.
The Panama commission is very
busy with preliminary work in
connection with the canal. It is
now sending to the Isthmus large
quantities of dynamite for blasting
purposes*, and it will also establish
a printing office in the Zone. The
Goverment has decided to build a
large naval station and dry dock at
Panama. It is intended to make
it the largest and most efficient on
the western coast of this hemisptre.
The English press is as usual,
practically a unit in fuvor of the
election of *be Democratic ticket.
The London "Observer” SHys with
the exception of the plank reaffirm-
ing the Monroe Doctrine the Dem-
ocratic platform is much more ac-
ceptable to Great Britian than that
adopted by the Republicans, It
stands for a movement in the di-
rection of Free-Trade, or at least
low Tariff. London “Truth” is al-
so for the ticket. “Why should
we place any barriers to Irish im-
migration?” said the London
“Times” a few years ago “When
they go to America the Irish vote
l or a low Tariff and the importa-
tion of English goods.”
The “Spectator’s” ideas of how
the result of the election may ef-
fect the interests of England indi-
cate a decided anxiety for the suc-
cess of Parker. The paper says:
If Englishmen were to think only of the In-
terests <* their own country they would prob-
Bbly desire the success of the Democratic can-
didate at the presidential election. Neither
party in the United States ia now unfriendly to
this country, and whether the President is a
Republican or a Democrat, he is certain to
maintain the tradition of good-will which in-
spires the Government nt Washington as fully
as it does that at Westminster. But though
the good terms on which the United Stutes and
the British Empire now find themselves are
not likely to be jeopardized whichever way the
election goes, a selttah and narrow view of our
interests would no doubt indicate a Democratic
victory as desirable. If the Democratic party
wins, a veto will almost certainly be placed on
American expansion, and on the development
of an American over sen territory. Again, a
Democratic victory will mean a small as con-
trasted with a great navy. The Democrats are
opposed to the development of American sea
imwor, and declare that they have no use for a
navy larger than that required to defepd their
own shores. Now, though there is no fear that
the American navy, even if it becomes the se-
cond or third biggest navy in the world, as the
active section of the Republican party desire
to inako it, will ever be used against Britian
it must la* admitted that Its existence will to
some extent derogate front the supremacy of
our fleet, and make our command of the sea
less absolute. While the Americans have only
a small navy they cannot claim the right to be
heard in distance waters which they could claim
if their navy were of large proportions.
Robert Ellis Thomson, the emi-
ment economist, writing in the
“Irish World,” to which organ he
contributes a weekly article, says:
Taking the case broadly, the Republican
platform speaks the truth. Every alteration
of tlie Tariff in the direction of lower duties
on the productions of foreign labor, which com-
pete with our own, has brought us disaster.
Every retracing of our steps nf ter such a re-
duction has restored prosperity.
And yet some Irismen will vote
for Tariff reduction and British
Free-Trade.
When the English people de-
sire the success of the Democratic
party from selfish motives it lroks
as though all Americans Bhould be
loyal to their own interests anc
see that the Republican party be
continued in power and onr own
home interests benefited. To the
same end, the voters of Oklahoma
should see that their delegate to
Congress should be a Republican
a nd in touch with the national gov-
ernment at Washington. A vote
for McGuire means a vote for con-
tinued prosperity for Oklahoma.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
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 citizenship and exnlted
reason of public policy. We believe Ilia admin-
istration is the highest standard of popular
government, for which the Republican party
lias nhvays stood. We believe the nomination
and oloction of Rooaevelt will be a declaration
for the purest and best government, worthy of
the most exulted American citizenship. We
hereby instruct the delegation elected by this
conveutlon to the national convention to vote
for Roosevelt as the enthusiastic desire of the
people of Oklahoma.
2. In the Hou. B. 8. McGuire the territory lias
a representative at Washington who commands
the a dmirntion and respect of nil the people
■nd whose valuable services and careful and
intelligent attention to the interests of our
people at the nntioual capital unqualifiedly en-
title him to our cordial endorsement and re-
election.
3. Wo nre prDnd of the business sense and
purity exhibited in the territorial government
of Oklahnmu. The condition of public affairs of
our territory under the wise guidance of
Governor T. B. Ferguson proveB the superiority
of Republican government. He lias put into
practice the principles of public fidelity laid
down by president Hoosevelt, requiring n strlot
udhorence to them by nil his official family.
i. 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. We congratulate the people of this terri-
tory, as a part of the great middle west, on the
wise statesmanship of President Roosevelt and
his administration in the completion of the ne-
gotiations necessary to the buildiDg of the Pan
ama canal, which, when completed, will widen
the markets of our country and add immeasur-
ably to the value of tho products of the farms
and workshops of the entire country.
6. The Republican party has declared for
twelve years for immediate statehood forOkla
home, 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 has been introduced by
Chairman Hamilton and now pending in the
lower house of congress; and we urge the im-
mediate passage of this bill, that the people of
Oklahoma may have that sovereguty which
their wealth, population and exalted citizen-
ship so thoroughly entitle them to.
7. We congratulate the people of Oklahoma
on the acknowledgment by congress of the dec-
laration of the Republican party of Oklahoma
in the last campaign for some plan of equaliza-
tion of the school funds of Oklahoma and In-
dian Territory, in the appropriation by con-
gress of five million dollars in lieu of school
ands iu the Indian Territory as a partial offset
for the splendid school lend endowment of Okla-
homa. We point to this as the direct result of
the pollcyof the Republican party in the Inst
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 semi-
arid lands of the west by the inauguration and
construction of a substantial system af irriga-
tion works under government supervision, and
in as much as Oklahoma has contributed large-
ly to the National Irrigation Reclamation fund
we maintain that as far as possible, there
should be a proportionate expenditure in the
construction of diversion, storage end distrib-
uting systems in the western part of Oklahoma.
We, therefore, especially commend the activity
of our delegate in congress, Honorable Bird 8.
MoGulre, in his firm and insistent efforts to «e-
oure the promise of early action to that end.
8. Wo endorse the national and territorial
good roads movement. We pledge our encour-
agement in every way possible to the bettermeDt
of the highways of Oklahoma and to the fur-
therance of the vnrious organizations in this ter-
ritory for this purpose.
10. We favor tne early allotment of the Io
dian reservations within the territory and that
Indian lands will be subject to taxation aud
bear their just share of the expense of gov-
ernment, that civilization will surround every
person in the territory.
11. In furtherance of the principles enunci-
ated hitherto by the Republican party and in
justice to a loyal ally in said party resolve;
That we heartily endorse the resolution passed
by the Indian Territory asking incorporation
of the “Quay Suffrage amendment” in the state-
hood bill when passed by congress.
12. We Invite the people of Oklahoma to as-
sist the Republican party in tho election of its
candidates as the surest way for the accom-
plishment of good government, nationally, ter-
ritorially and locally. The history of Oklahoma
in oongress proves that the only way to accom-
plish anything for the territory, is by the elec-
tion of a Ropubllcau delegate.
