tlce J. II. Burford In the course of a
speech to the l gan county m>publlc;in
convention yesterday at ICioctric park.
"The sight unseen document which the
people of the proposed state will soon be
called upon to vote to approve or reject—
If the convention delo(jat ti ever decide
to adjourn and place it before the peo-
ple—was framed by a body of men
made bold by a majority which has bean

jority, and has been adopted as the plat-
form of the democratisc party >f the
proposed state. Hegandiess of tne
fart that the enabling act was
given to the people by a republican con-
groar., a republican president, and secur-
ed by a republican delogato, when the
people of Oklahoma sent the brutal ma-
jority to Guthrie to framo the consti-
tution they Ignored the advice of the
minority and proceeded to frame a con-
stitution, which, in my Judgment will
never pass the scrutiny of tho presi-
dent. The document Is not In harmony
with the constitution of the United rintos
as there are propositions in it whlcn ex-
ist in no other constitution and havo no
authority at law for their existence. The
disfranchisement of the soldier who en-
lists from the state is not in sympathy
with the provisions of tho federal •in-

which it would take at lesut two hours
to enumerate, and point out the objec-

now proposed to tho people for their

ju■ Btfrford said tho provisions of
the constitution lis proposed will stifle
the Investment of capltul, place the
courts In the position of not being c.hla
to enforce respect, and In many other
ways retard and obstruct tho devolop-
xnent of the new state.
Dangers in Constitution
F. H. Greer followed Judge Burfori
and pointed out a number of the provi-
sions of tho constltulon which will re-
flect to the detriment of the progressive
and prosperous people of the new state.
The initiative and referendum which tho
democrats claim will remedy nil evils
Inoperative as framed, and will place the
controling pov er of the entire country
If made a national policy In the control
of New York, Pennsylvania, JUlnolB tnd
Massachusetts, which cast almost one-
third of the entire vote of the country.
If the Initiative and referendum is put
Into force, Mr. Greer showed the entire
legislative power will he controlled by
the greatly populated cities, and will not
be of the great bentit to the farmers
hoped for.
Dem°crats Incompetent
A. H. Huston said the many glaring
mistakes made by the convention has had
■ tendency to mako Oklahoma republican
for all time to come by convincing the
great mass of the voters that the demo-
cratic. party Is entirely Incompetent to
manage public affairs and mako funda-

Disfranchisement Soldiers at Home
Probate Judge Strung said tho con
federates have been licked once and If
it is necessary to do the Job again
m i) t-respect the will of the ma
Jorlty, he is not afraid to help to uo
dcrtake the Job Mr. Strang stated that
he has not read the constitution, but has
watched the papers, and when the
veutlon adopted the disfranchisement
< la use he reached the conclusion (hut
they did not have sense enough to '
a document with which would over
such a blunder. The Judge cited tho
provislosn of other states in relation t
filiated soldiers, showing up the de-
liberate nttempt to misrepresent the facta
by Oockiobur Hill and hla followers.
Frantz Given Ovation
Governor Frank Frantz was given an
enthusltstle reception when he appeared
upon the floor of the convention, and
hen he wns introduced It was several
minutes before the enthusiasm died
flclently for the governor to be h
Frants thanked the convention for
the endorsement given his administration
and his candidacy for governor
new state. As the standard bearer of
tho republican party of the great state,
if tlie republleans decide to nominate
and he Is the choice, he can conscientious
ly go before the people and oppose the
oonstltutlon ns now proposed. "I would
rather sacrifice whatever ambitions
havo to be chief executive of the great-
est state-to-be In the country, than to
Ik* governor of a state having such a
constitution as the one now said to be
about ready to submit to the people for
their approval."
No Honest Man Can Read it and ap-
prove.
John W Pcothorn endorsed the rtate-
ment of Governor Frantz. and said he
studied the constlttulon carefully
and believes that no honest man can vote
for It after becoming familiar with its
provisions. He believes the objectionable
features are too many for any attemot at
doctoring It to place a document beforo
the voters that they could approve and
be safe. "We are entitled to a constitu-
tion that Is good from start to finish,
and not one that good exists only In
parts of It. To take a dose of poison de-
liberately Just because some one prom-
ises to give relief from Its effects is
unsafe and foolhardy, and If tho pies-
ent proposed constitution Is approval
that will be what the voters of tho state
are dong.' Mr. flcothorn advocated, as
did also Governor Frantz and JVdge
Strang, the nomination of state. Judicial
and county tickets, bellvlng that a bet-
ter organization may be had, and a more
systematic education of the voters on
Infamous provisions of the consti-
tution made.
Details of Convsntion
The convention was called to order by

ris, Harper fl. Cunningham was made

erty; of local self-government und of
equal rights to all persons, without re-

the scrutiny of the public; the {tarty
of industrial development, that gives re-
munerative employment to capital und
to labor; the party that touches obedisno
to law and thu supremacy of the national
constitution; the party that gave to the
people of Oklahoma the right to adopt

Endorse Governor Frjn:z
We lentmend pnd approve the highly
Intelligent and satisfactory administra-
tion of territorial afTalrs by Governor
Frank Frantz. In his just and equitable
handling of senooi laud problems, his
siieetssful efforts In bringing about
choanal' ibaufa^muutiun tuj, wui
producers and censumers In Oklahoma,
Ills BMf«- and economic management of
the fiscal ufTairn of tho territory and In
his wise and Judicious enforcement of
thu laws, h« has earned and coiniuunds
tho respect and confidence of the entire
people, ills official ozperlenco, his knowl-
edge of the conditions and retirements
of tho coming state, his ability to deal
Wth men of all races and classes equip
and qualify him for the first executive
officer of the state of Oklahoma rud
we heartily endorse Hon Frank Frantz,
thd brave soldier, the popular governor,
the loyal Oklahoman, for the nomination
for the office of governor of the propdt*
ed state, und Instruct our delegates to
present his name to the state conven-
tion and cast tho vote of Logan county
for him, first, last and all the time, In
the event the state convention snail de-
termine a ntate ticket.
McGuire haa Proved Loyal
Our delegate to congress, the able ad-
vocate of statehood for Oklahoma, 7Ion.
Bird S. McGuire, has proved his loyalty
to the people of Ixtgan county and con-
ferred upon us a benefit which commands
our lastlrf gratitude. We assure hhn of
our confidence and pledge to him cur
loyal, faithful and united support.
Condemn Infamous Constitution
'e denounce and condemn the Infam-
ous partisan spirit which controled und
actuated tho majority In the constitution-
al convention In all their proceedings.
They refused to recognize the rights of
the republican minority or treat t?iem
with decent respect. They ignored the
requirements of statesmanship or the
demands of reason and Justice and pe-
pared an Instrument and propose It as
our consttuton wheh breathes the
spirit of disloyalty and hostility to the
national government. It Is unrepubllcan
In form and deprives each of the co-or-
dinate departments of government of
some of their Inherent prerogatives. It
discriminates against our nation's de-
fenders, the solders and sailors; It de-
spoils our public schools and destroys
their high oxoellence, It antagonizes tho
federal courts and denies the courts of
Its own creation the power to enforce
their procees or to protect the rights cf
person? or property. It denies *qual
rights to all the citizens of the state and
discriminates against one locality In
favor of another. It butchers and oblit-
erates existing counties without the con-
sent of their Inhabitants. It destroys
existing public credit and impairs exist-
ing obligations.
Some of the Objections
It deprives our citizens of the right to
protect their homes and property. It in-
creases the burdens of taxation without
compensating benefits. Its adoption will
antagonize capital and depreciate Invest-
ments. It will discourage Industrial and
commercial development and lessen tho
demand for labor. It will decrease farm
valueg nnd Increase land taxes. It wfll
retard our progress and development os
people and country, and we demand a
constitution fair to all classes, Interests
localities, which guarantees equal rights
and privilege^ to every person and lo-
cality regardless of party or politics,
and we call upon all patriotic, loyal Olc-
labomans who love fair play nnd be-
lle/e In a "square deal" to unite with
us to place the stamp of disapproval
upon the so-called constitution, and we
pledge our earnest efforts to procure
statehood nt the earliest possible perlol
under a state governmnt and constitu-
tion that will place us upon an equal
footing with the other states of the
union.
Approve Territorial Committe Action
It Is the senae of this convention that
the withdrawal of the coll for the ntnte
convention meets with our approval that
no action be taken towards declaring the
policy of thg party towards the propos-
ed oonstlturJn or towards nominating a
state ticket until such time as the con-
stitutional convention shall have com-

fulfills every wish iu curiug rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hola water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasarft ne-
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. 'I he mild aud

is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wouderful cures of the most dis-

royally that they voted to come back

Governor Frantz's little son acted as
"General" of tho encampment.
A beautiful boquet was presented to

Hunter by the members. He accepted It
with a few choice words and said he
would present It to his devoted wife.

picture of the second encampment 103 s.
Charlie Hunter represented Boss Has-
kell and Don Muxlow Judge Baker of the
constitutional convention. On account of
the absence of ink wells and paper
weights no one was hurt.
There will be twenty camps organized
by the time tho third encampment con-
venes at Guthrie.
All the Muskogee delegates received m
office and If there had boen any mere
delegates the veterans would have crea-
ted more offices for the reason that th
Muskogee vets are royal good fellows.
Charlie Hunter and Fred Hunter of
Oklahoma City proved they were „'ood
men on the firing line. Neither could agre
on any subject and they fought it out
with their executive ability.
Col Hoffman'c address was one of tine
comradeship. His remarks were touching
to the boys who offered to sacrifice their
lives for the protection of the American
stars and stripes and he hoped to s<*e all
flpanlsh-Arnprlcan veterans sitting on the
right hand of God when "taps'* nre
sounded for the call "to Heaven."
Comrade Frank Frantz, governor of
Oklahoma delivered a few short remarks
ar.d insisted that all comrades appoint
themselves as committee of one to enlist
all the veterans In the new wtate ns the
organization Is one, to mutually help
each comrade and the veterans will
soon take the place of the Grand c.rmy
veterans nnd the Confederate Vet trans
The Spanish-American veterans are sons
of Union and Confederate soldiers.
The Guthrie Retail dealers are hustlers
and they "sslsted the local camp in en-
tertaining ihe second encampment of the
Spanish-/ /nerican war boys. They have
to do it again for the boy had such a
royaJ time they will be here In larjsr
numbers nezt year. Guthrie will be well
advertised on account of this hospitality.
Captain Alley gave a camp call "to
arms" and two of tho charming Guthrie
girls rushed to him, ,
Comrade Frank C, Cone has a medal
for saving many Amrican soldiers from
having their heads chopped off with a
bnlo in the Philippines. The encampment
