Sam Jones places Roosevelt above Lincoln and
Washington. And like Washington, Roosevelt re-
fuses a third term.
Russia should start the revolution without so
Mich fooling if it wishes to retain the interest of
ike reading public.
Bryan is a poor forgetter, as is evidenced by his
reviving the Sulivan fight which resulted in his
decisive defeat at St. Louis in 1904.
The democratic nominees in Michigan are already
pulling off the ticket. Though these are prosperous
times they do not feel like throwing money away.
Tulsa World >—-"If we understand Governor
Franttz correctly, he advocates taking the common
people into the confidence of the party. No better,
6aner, sounder, political doctrine was ever promul-
gated."
If you affiliate with the democratic party, vou
will be compelled to guess what you and your party
stand for. The leaders fear the result of holding
a state convention and making a declaration of party
principles, anil have tabooed the plan.
In extending sympathy to the Russian people, do
likewiso to tlt^e democrats of this country for they
hare, an all powerful Czar directing even the affair*
of the state organizations as was demonstrated by
the letter ordering the democrats of Jllinoia to '"lire"
Sullivan."
The talk about the democratic party being the
party of high morality has been suddenly hushed
in Michigan. The democrats in that state voted
down the resolution to investigate Tom Taggart, and
demand his resigation if the charges against him
are proven.
Vinita Chieftain:—"The Oklahoinan is engaged
in trying to prove that the initiative and referendum
is a democratic policy. The Oklahoman is confron-
ted with a rather difficult task, in view of the fact
that the system is in operation in this country only
in republican states."
I THE WITHDRAWAL OF ROBBERTS MEANS
NAMING OF McOUTRE AND HARMONY
The withdrawal of Judge J. C. Robberts of Enid,
from the race for nomination for congress, is a long
step towards harmony among republicans in the first
Oklahoma district, and makes certain the nomination
>f Hon. B. S. McGuire and his election by at least five
thousand majority. Though some j>ersons who had
hoped to gratify personal grievances through Robbert's
candidacy, may criticise him for quitting, all good re-
publican*—those opposed and those friendly to him,
will have only words of praise for the unselfish,
broad stand he has taken in the interest of republicanism
in the new state.
Judge Robberts has been recognized everywhere as a
ptrong clean, able man, yet the people, generally, of the
flrst district, and of all Oklahoma, for that matter, felt
that Delegate McGuire, who had twice led the party
to victory at the pollc, when there were many doubters,
and who had made good every campaign pledge of the
republican party by his efficient work at Washington,
was entitled to the nomination. His record was clean
and unassailable. The only matters of difference be-
tween him and the anti-organization republicans were
"party matters." His record a* an official is one upon
which republicans all over the new state Mill stand in
the coming campaigns and will make votes thereby.
Delegate McGuire was the logical man for the nomi-
nation for congress from the first district, but it is one
of the principles of the republican party that every
man has a right to stand for a nomination or support,
whom he desires for a place, until the party makes itr-
choice. In view of this there could be no criticism of
Judge Robberts for becoming a candidate and remain-
ing in the race. Had lie continued in the race, lie
would have entered the convention stronger than any
man except McGuire. His friends claim be had a
chance to win. Yet the only hopes of landing him
would have been by the making of a bitter fight that
would have weakened the party. For this reason Judge
Robberts decided to pull out, feeling that the interests
of the republican party of the new state should be con-
sidered above his own.
That is the kind of republicanism that wins victories
that leaves the opposition nothing to make "medicine
of". It is the kind that makes the men who hold it a*
a tenet of their faith stronger, and Judge Robberts is
stronger todav than he was last week. The democrats
have been banking on a republican factional split—and
of late there had even been talk of a republican "bolt"—
but Judge Robberts has dashed their hopes.
The opposition to McGuire had centered around
Robberts. The withdrawal of the latter leaves M -
Guire practically a clear field, lie ha- earned the
nomination, and is the strongest man the republican
party could put in the field in the first district. The
only thing that could have injured him would have
been a bitter factional fight for the nominal ion that
would have caused defection from the party.
Briefly summarized, Robbcrts's withdrawal means
harmony in the first district, and harmony in the first
means that it will extend all over the new state. It
means the wiping out of factional lines, and the getting
together of all republicans in the interests of the party.
Ilnrmonv will make possible sweeping republican vic-
tories in the new state.
The republican party. Delegate McGuire, and Judge
Robberts as well as every member of the G. O. P. are
to be congratulated upon the turn political affairs in the
new state are taking.
Senator Bailey of Texas who has been secured by
the democrats to stump the new state, is still preach-
ing slavery and secession in his public speeches and
lays that he is teaching his children that such things
*re right. Ho does not represent the sentiment of
Sis loyal patriotic constituency.
"Book Campbell of the Waukomis Hornet says
that the "Old Guard" wil not bolt and he gives color
to his statement by announcing for McGuire for
congress. Everything is harmony in the first dis-
trict and every membor of the constitutional conven-
tion from the counties comprising it will be a repub-
lican. -
Shawnee Journal (deni.) >—"The democratic com-
mittee in the new state ought to issue an 'imperative
mandato' to the candidates and some of the newspapers
that are preaching populist-socialistic doctrines anii
* recall' their attention to the fact that they cannot
use the democratic label on those brauds of political
heresy."
Five thousand persons attended the funeral at
Anderson, 111., of Joseph Rodecap, who weighed 400
pounds. It was a big funeral all round.
"They say *'v and "it is said" and "it is
rumored" are the words of the chronic gossip and
the cowardly character assassin. They should be
"tabooed" by all honorable people.
THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE EL RENO MEET
INO 8HOULD KEEP PARTY ABOVE SELF
The meeting at K1 Reno of "The Old Guard"—what-
ever that means—seems to have been principally to con-
trol the nomination in the first district. A committee
was selected to confer in this district about whether the
congressional call for the 28th of August should be
recognized. About fifteen men wer? then* from the first
district. Do these fifteen self-constituted guardians
think they are greater than the large number who were
present at the time this call was made? There were
scarcely more unofficially from the first district at El
Reno than were present officially—regularly constituted
members of the Territorial committee—at Guthrie when
the call for the 28th was made.
If those few at El Reno—directed bv men outride of
this district, and to vent a personal spite against Mr.
McGuire bolt the call of the party organization, they
will tread very dangerous ground, and personally and
deliberately menace partv success
In the days of the so-called "Old Guard"—and a mere
handful of them were at EI Reno—the man who bolted
the organization got the eternal execution of the "Old
Guard and stood no more show for partv recognition
than an ice-cake in sulpherina. It will be the same way
now. The men at EI Reno voluntarily relinquished
the party organization. Some of them were honorable
and efficacious leaders in the old days and can be vet.
I hey cannot afford to let personal wrangles lead them
from the same. unswerving fealty to the party and its
legal organization, that they always exhibited in the days
when they were in power. To do so would be too
puerile and selfish to come from such men. Most of
them are past beneficiaries of the party. To bolt any or-
ganization call now would ruin them personally and pol-
itically. Such a move would get no following. It would
result solely as a boomerang on those who instituted it.
Another thing, those who live outside the first dis-
trict should keep hands off this district. I.et them stay
where they belong. Those who "slop over" and attempt
to "even up" on territory from which they have been se-
gregated. will find no encouragement from republican?
who want party harmony and partv success.
This is the same kind of an article the State Capital
often wrote when Mr. Flynn was at the head of the or-
ganization. Then a "-an was a tabooed republican and
the fodder was taken from his reach if he did not stand
bv the organic ion. The organization then, as now.
chaa^od every two years, hut each new batch exacted the
same loyalty, as it had a right to. for no success ean be
achieved without party organization. Why should the
l men of old adopt a U'-w code now? Th1.' present organ-
j i ration and many of the n were also loval members of
j the old—have the same loyal aid from the party indi-
vidually as in the ilavs of past successes. Of course thev
should, and any republican who declares differently
,-how> personal selfishness above party success and has
j degenerated from the old standard, lie is not a worthy
I leader who will do it.

The platform shows strong and deserved endorse-
ment of both men. This instrument, upon which the
G. O. P. will again go to victory in the Hawkeye
state is good reading. The part of the platform
referring to national questions follows:
"We find abundant cause for rejoicing in condi-
tions prevailing. The country as a whole is unceas-
ingly prosperous and our state is experiencing the
climax of protection and prosperity. We are
rightly proud of the history of our party, which for
many years has determined the policies and directed
the administration of our public affairs.
"We commend the inspiring character, important
achievements and undaunted leadership of Theodore
Roosevelt. It is with exceeding pride we contem-
plate the confidence reposed in him by the people of
our country and the admiration which he commands
from the whole world.
"We a:*e unalterably opposed to to the domination
of corporate influences in public affairs. We favor
I the enactment of stringent statutes to purge the
polities of our state and nation from the corrupting
influences of corporate power, and we pledge our-
selves to the enactment of such laws as will render
i; impossible and unpopular for corporations to en-
gage in politics or iu any way contribute to political
I organizations.
"The abolishment of free passes on railways is a
1 most important step in curbing the influence of
corporations in political affairs and we commend the
republican legislature which has enacted a law to
.this end.
| "We are uncompromisingly in favor of the Amer-
! ican system of protection. Duties on foreign im-
! ports should not be levied for revenue only, but
I should be so adjusted as to promote our domestic
interests, enlarge our foreign markets, secure re-

WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY
THE LATE RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT.
The dissolution of the Douma naturally brings
up the question as to what was accomplished by that
body. In the matter of legislation practically noth-
ing was done, yet the bills passed were expected to
be a small part of the work accomplished by the
first Russian parliament. If that body did not pave
the way for a representative government, then it
failed. If it sowed the seed that will mean the
emancipation of the downtrodden masses in Russia
then the time and labor of its members was well
spent.
Just one bill was passed by the Douma, that re-
ceived the approval of the Czar and therefore be-
came a law. It, appropriated $7,500,000 for famine
relief and was opposed by the ministry.
The bill was meritorious of course, yet it amounts
to little in consideration of the result upon Rusia
of the parliament just dissolved. That Russia is
not ready for a popular government, where all have
an equal voice is certain, yet it is equally true that
the Russian people have outgrown the autocratic,
tyrannical government now in control. Russia is
at least ready for a representative government with
a restricted suffrage. Universal suffrage will never
be advisable until the Russian masses are more en-
lightened.
Yet there is little advancement under the present
rulers Their policy is to keep the masses in ignor-
ance, realizing that enlightenment and autocracy
cannot exist, side by side. Russia is a disgrace to
the present day civilization, aud it is to be sincerely
hoped, as is believed in many quarters, that the
Douma planted the tree which, will bear a repre-
sentative government, at first with restricted suf
frage, but later, as intelligence may be spread
among the masses, with an equal voice for all in
the affairs of government.
Bryan's efforts to espouse both "free silver" and
the "gold standard" are almost as amusing as a
page from Puck or Judge.
Through the retirement of Cad Allard. editor of
the Chickasha Star from the newspaper field, the
new state loses one of its stars. Mr. Allard will go
to New Mexico for his health, and his many friends
in the profession in the twin territories hope that
he will soon return to the new state in good health
to again wield the pen for his friends and right.
Oklahoma has had no more interesting editorial
writer than he.
OKLAHOMAN EEING CONDEMNED FOR
UNWARRANTED CHARACTER ASSAULTS.
Oklahomans regardless of party are condemning
Jhe vicious and«unwarranted assaults upon the char-
acter of public officials, that have been appearing
in the Oklahoman, which evidently goes on the nar-
row partisan theory that being a democratic paper
it should print anything it obtains whether truth-
ful or not about republicans. The trouble with the
Oklahomau is that it has failed to keep abreast oi
the items and of the broad character of the Okla-
homa citizenship, which believes firmly in the square
deal. Fairness is not alone confined to members of
one party and very few democrats ean be found so
narrow as to stand behind the baseless articles
which have been appearing in the Oklahoman.
The character assassin who works not out in the
open, but through insiuations and innuendos is
Vletested by republicans and democrats alike. A
democratic or a republican paper can afford to be
decent in its reference to members of the opposing
political parties.
In this connection the following which was written
by editor Brown of the Oklahoma Times-Journal
Saturday, immediately after reading the Oklahoman.
aud before he had heard of the slapping of the
Guthrie correspondent, will be read with interest:
"The Oklahoman's Guthrie correspondent in a
long communication assaults Governor Frant/.
through a series of innuendos. One of these, where
the statement is made that inquiries are being made
in connection with certain pardons and certain
financial deals, is contemptible. To bo sure, the
article does not say the governor has been guilty of
a criminal act, but the article is so worded as to
convey that idea without the author's actually
saying so. Attacks by innuendo are cowardly, con-
temptible and wholly inexcusable. If that corres-
pondent knows of any financial deal in connection
with the granting of pardons, he would say v o
and state the names and places and names of parties
involved. He knows nothing to the governor's
discredit but seeks to carry suspicion by a cowardly
insinuation. A real good thrashing would do such
a correspondent a vast deal of good, but of coursc
the governor could not do such a thing while in
office. This article is condemned by all people who
believe in decency and fair play."
