The record of ,"ny popular vote s:: for electors prior to 1824 is so meager and imperfect that a compilation would be useless. In most of the states, for more than a :>- quarter century following the establishment of the government, the state legislatures "appointed" the presidential electors, and the ;J:I people therefore voted only indirectly for them, their choice being expressed by their votes for members of the legislature. In this t;l tabulation only the aggregate electoral \'otes for candidates for Pres!dent and Vice-President in the first nine (juadt'8nnial eledions appear. t:I ttl REFElRENCE NOTES-'The candidates starred were elected. (a) The first republican party is claimed by the present demo- 0 cratic party as its progenitor. (b) No. candidate having a majority of the electoral vote, the House of Representatives elected .Adams. 0 (c) Candidate of the Anti-Masonic party. (d) There heing no choice the Senate elected Johnson. (e) Eleven southern states, being ~ within the belligerent territory, did not yote. (f) Three southern states disfranchised. (g) Horace Greeley died after election, anc'l democratic electors scattered their votes. (h) 'There being a dis pute over the electoral vote of Florida, Louisiana, Oregon and South Carolina, they were referred by Congress to an electoral commision composed ()f eight republicans and seven democrats, which. by a strict party vote, awarded 185 electoral votes to Hayes and, 1.84 to Tilden. (i) Free Democrat. (j) Free Silver Prohibition party. (k) In Massachusetts. There was also a Native American ticket in that state, which received 184 votes.

For Vice-President JAMES S. SHERMAN, of New York

National Convention, Chicago, June 16-19, 1908. Temporary Chairman, JULIUS C. BURROWS, of Michigan. Permanent Chairman-HENRY CABOT LODGE, of Massachusetts. Secretary-JOHN R. MALLOY, of Ohio.

NATIONAL PLATFORM. Once more the Republican party, in national convention assembled, sub nuts its cause to the people. This great historic organization, that destroyed slavery, preserved the Union, restored credit, expanded the national domain, established a sound financial system, developed the industries and resources Of the country, and gave to the nation her seat of honor In the councils ot the world, now meets the new problems of government with the same courage and capacity with which it solved the old.

Republicanism Under' Roosevelt. In this greatest era of American advancement the Republican party has reached its highest service under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. His administration is an epoch in American history. In no other period since na tional soverignty was won under Washington, or preserved under Lincoln has there been such mighty progress in those ideals of government which make for justice, equality, and fair dealing among "men. The highest aspir ations of the American people have found a voice. Their most exalted ser vant represents the best aims and wor.thiest purposes of all his countrymen. American manhood has been lifted to a nobler Sel1lle of duty and obligation. Conscience and courage in public station and higher standards of rlgM and wrong in private life have become cardinal principles of political faith; capi· ital and labor have been brought into closer relations of confidence and inter dependence; and the abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power, and all the evils of privilege and favoritism have been put to scorn by the .impIe, manly virtues of justice and fair play. 318 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

The great accomplishments of President Roosevelt ha_ ~"n, first and foremost, a brave and impartial enforcement of the law; the prosecution of illegal trusts and monopolies; the exposure and punishmlIDt of evil-doers in the public service; the more effective regulation of the rates and service of the great transportation lines; the complete over,throw of preferences, rebates and discriminations; the arbitration of labor disputes; the ameliora tion of the condition of wageworkers everywhere; the conservation of the natural resources of the country; the forward step in the improvement of the inland waterways, and always the earn cst support and defense of every wholesome safeguard which has made more secure the guarantees of life, liberty and property. These are the achievements that will make Theodore Roosevelt his place in history, but more than all else the great things he has done will be an inspirrution to those who have yet greater things to do. We declare our unfaltering adherence to the policies thus inaugurated, and pledge their continuance under a republican administration of the government.

Equality of Opportunity.

Under the guidQIDce of republican principles the American people have become the richest nation in the world. Our wealth today exceeds that of England and all her colonies, and that of France and Germany combined. When the republican party was born the total wealth of the country was $16,000,000,000. It has leaped to $111,000,000,000 in a generation, while Great Britain has gathered-but $60,000,000,000 in five hundred years. The United States now owns one-fourth of the world's wealth and makes one-third of all modern manufactured products. In the great necessities of ,civilization such as coal, the motive power of all activity; iron, the chief basis of all industry; cotton, the staple foundation of all gabrics; wheat, corn and all the agricultural products that feed n~ankind, America's supremacy is undis puted. And yet her great natural wealth has been scarcely touched. We have a vast domain of three million square miles, literally bursting with latent treasure, s'tHI waiting the magic of capital and industry to be con verted to the practical uses of mankind; a country rich in soil aH~ >'imate, in the unharnessed energy of its rivers and in all the varied pro,l" .•s of the field, the forest and factory. With gratitude for God's bounty, with pride in the splendid productiveness of the past and with confidence in the plenty and prosperity of the future, the republican party declares for the principle Ithat in the development and enjoyment of wealth so great and blessings so benign there shall be equal opportunity for all.

The Revival of Business.

Nothing so clearly demonstrates the sound basis upon which our com mercial, industrial and agricultural interests are founded, and the necessity of promoting their continued welfare through the operation of republican pOlicies, as the recent safe passage of the American people through a financial disturbance which, if appearing in the midst of democratic rule Or the menace of it, might have equalled the familiar democratic panics of the past. We congratulate the people upon this renewed evIdence of Ameri can supremacy and hail with confidence the signs now manifest of a complete restoration of business prosperity in all lines of trade, commerCA and manufacturing.

Recent Republican Legislation.

Since the election of Wdlliam McKinley in 1896 the people of this country have felt anew the wisdom of entrusting to the republican party ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 319 through decisive majorities the control and direction of national legislatioR. The many wise and progressive measures adopted at recent sessions ot Congress have demonstrated the patriotic resolve of republican leadership In the legislative department to keep step in the forward march toward better government. Notwithstanding the indefensible filibustering of a Democratic minority in the House of Representatives during the last session many wholesome and progressive laws were enacted, and we especially commend the passage of the emergency currency bill, the appointment of the National Monetary Commission, the Employers' and Government liability laws, the measures for the greater efficiency of the army and navy, the widows' pension bill, the child labor law for the District of Coumbla, the new statute for the safety of railroad engineers and firemen, and lII1any other acts conserving the public walfare.

Republican Pledges for the Future.

Tariff.

The republican party declares unequivocally for the revision of the tariff by a special session of Congress immediately following the inaugura- • tion of the neXit President, and commPhilippines we 'believe In a free interchange of products with such limitations as to sugar and tobacco as will afford adequate protection to domestic interests.

Currency.

We approve the emergency measures adopted by the government during the recent financial disturbance, and especially commend ,the passage by Congress at the last session of the law deSigned to protect the country from a repetition of such stringency. The republican party is committed to the developmen't of a permanent currency system, responding to our greet needs; and the appointment of the National Monetary Commission by the present Congress, which will impartially investigate all proposed method". insures the early realization of this purpose. The present currency laws have fully justified their adoption, but an expanding commerce, a marvelous groWlth in wealth and population. multiplying the centers of distribution, increasing the demand for the ·movement of crops in the west and south, and entailing periodic changes in monetary conditions, disclose the need of a more elastic and adaptable system. Such a system must meet the requirements of agriculturalists, manufacturers, merchants and business men generation, must be automatic In operation, minimizing the fluctuations in 320 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

interest rates, and; above all, must be in harmony with that republican doctrine which insists that every dollars shall be based upon and as good a.s gold.

Postal Savings.

W,e favor the establishment of a postal savings :bank system for the convenience of the people and the encouragement of thrift.

Trusts.

The republican party passed the Sherman Anti-Trust law over demo cratic opposition, and enforced it after democratic dereliction. It has been a wholesome instrument for good in the' hands of a wise and fear.less administra:tion. But experience has shown that its effectiveness can be strengthened and its real objects better attained by such amendments as will give to the federal government greater supervision and control over, and secure greater publicity in, the management of that class of corporrutions engaged in interstate commerce having power and opportunity to effect monopolies.

Railroads.

We approve the enactment of the railroad rate law and the vigorous enforcement by the present administration of the statutes against rebates and discriminations, as a result of which the advantages formerly possessed by the large shipper over the small shipper have substantially disappeared; and in this connection we commend the appropriation by the present Congress to enable the Interstate Commerce Commission 10 thoroughly investigat" and give publicity to the accounts of interstate railroads. We believe, however, that the interstate commerce law should be further amended so as to give railroads the right to make and publish traffic agreements subject to the approval of .the commission, but maintaining always the principle of competition between naturally competing lines and avoiding the common control of such lines by any means whatsoever. We favor such national legislation and supervision as will prevent the future over Issue of stocks and bonds by interstate carriers.

Railroad and Government Employes.

The enactment in constitutional form at the present session of Congress of the Employers' Liability law, the passage and enforcement of the safety appliance statutes, as well as the additional protection secured for engineers and firemen, the reduction in the hours of labor of trainmen and raikoad telegraphers, the successful exercise of the powers of mediation and arbitra tion between interstate railroads and their employes, and the law making a beginning in the policy of compensation for injured employes of the .government, are among the most commendable accomplishments of the pres ent administration. But there is further work in this direction yet to be done, and thl') republican party pledges its continued devotion to every cause that makes for safety and betterment of conditions among those whose labor contributes so much to the progress and welfare of the country.

Wage Earners Generally.

The same wise policy which has induced the republican party to maln ta.in protection to American labor, to establish an eight-hour day In the construction of all public works, to increase the list of employes who shall • ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 321 have preferred claims for wages under the bankruptcy laws, to adopt a child labor statute for the District of Columbia, to direct an investigation into the condition of working women and children, and later, of employes of telephone and telegraph companies engaged in interstate business; to appropriate $150,000 at the recent session of Congress in order to secure a thorough inquiry into the causes of catastrophes and loss of life in the mines and to amend and strengthen I the law prohibiting the importation of cvntract labor, will be pursued in every legitimate direction within federal authority to lighten the burdens and increase the opportunity for happiness and advancement of all who toil. The republican party recognizes the special needs of wake-workers generally, for their well being means the well being of all. Eu t more important than all other considerations is that of good citizenship, and we especially stand for the needs of every American, whatever his occupation, in his capacity as a self respecting citizen.

Court Procedure. The republican party will uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, state and federal,· and will ever insist that their powers to> enforce their process and to protect life, liberty and property shall be preserved inviolate. We believe, however, that the rules of procedure in the federal courts with respect to the issuance of the writ of Injunction should be more accurately defined by statute, and that no injunction or· temporary restraining order should be issued without notice, except where irreparable injury would result from delay, in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted.

The American Farmer.

Among those whose welfare is as vital to the welfare of the whole country as that of the wage-earner is the American farmer. The pros perity of the country rests peculiarly upon the prosperity of agriculture. The republican party during the last twelve years has accomplished extra ordinary work in bringing the resources of the national government to the aid of the farmer, not only in advancing agriculture itself. but in increasing the conveniences of rural life. Free rural mail delivery has been established; it now reaches millions of our citizens, and we favor its extension until every community in the land receives the full benefits of the postal service. We recognize the social and economical advantages of good country roads, maintained more and more. largely at public expense, and less and less at the expense of the abutting owner. In this work we commend the growing practice of the state aid, and we approve the efforts of the national agricultural department by experiments and otherwise Ito make clear to the public the best methods of road construction.

Rights of the Negro. The republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil ann political rights, and it believes today thM his noteworthy progress in Intel ligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encour agement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the negro, and we condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land. Sig. 23. 322 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK •

Natural Resources and W·aterways. We indorse the movement inaugurated by the administration for the conservation of natural resources; we approve all measures to prevent the waste of timber; we commend the work now going on for the reclamation of arid lands, and reaffirm the republican policy of the free distribution of the available areas of the public domain to the landless settler. No obligation of the future is more insistent and none will resuH in greater blessings to posterity. In line with this splendid undertaking is the further duty, equally imperative, to enter upon a systematic improvement upon a large and comprehensive plan, just to all portions of the country, of the waterways, harbors, and great lakes, whose natural adaptability to the in creasing Itraffic of the land is one of the greatest gifts of a benign Providence.

The Army and Navy.

The Sixtieth Congress passed many commendable acts increasing the efficiency of the army and navy, making the militia of the states an integral part of the national establishment, authorizing joint maneuvers of army .and militia, fortifying new naval bases and completing the construction of coaling' stations, instituting a female nurse cotps for naval hospitals and ships, and adding two new battleships, ten torpedo-boat destroyers, three steam colliers, and eight submarines to the strength of the navy. Although .at peace with all the world, and secure in the consciousnness that the ..American people do not desire and will not provoke a war with any other o(lountry, we nevertheless declare our unalterable devotion to a policy that . will keep this Republic ready at all times to defend her traditional doctrines, and assure her appropriate part in promoting permanent tranquility among the nations.

Pro·tectlon of American Citizens Abroad.

We commend the vigorous efforts made by the administration to protect American citizens in foreign lands, and pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and equal protection of all our citizens abroad. It Is the unquestioned duty of the government to procure for all our citizens, without distinction, the rights to travel and sojourn in friendly countries, and we declare our selves In favor of all proper efforts tending to that end.

Extension of Foreign Commerce.

Under the administration of the republican party the foreign commerce of the United States has experienced a remarkable growth until It has a present annual valuation of approximately three bllllons of dollars, and gives employment to a vast amount of labor and capital which would otherwise be Idle. It has inaugurated through the recent vlslt of the secretary of state to liIouth America and Mexico, a new era of Pan-American commerce and comity, which is bringing us Into closer touch with our twenty sIster American republics, having a common historical heritage, a republican form of government, and offering us a limitless field of legitimate com· merclal enterprise.

Arbitration and The Hague Treaties.

The ('onspicuous contributions of American statesmanship to the great cause of Interna.tlonal peace so signally advanced In The Hague conferenceI' are an occasion for just pride and gratification. At the last session of the Senate of the United States, eleven Hague conventions were ratified, ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 323 establishing Ithe rights of neutrals, laws of war on land, restriction of submarine mines, limiting the use of force for the collection of contractural debts, governing the opening of hostilities, extending the application of Geneva. principles, and, in many ways, lessening the evils of wa.r and promoting the peaceful settlement of international controversies. At the same session twelve arbitration conventions with great nations were con firmed, and extradition, boundary and naturalization, treaties of supreme importance were ratified. We indorse such achievements as the highest duty a people can perform and proclaim the obligaton of further strength ening the bonds of friendship and good will with all nations of the world.

Merchant Marine.

We adhere to the republican doctrine of encouragement to American shipping and urge such legislation as will revive 'the merchant marine prestige of the country, so essential to national defense, the enlargement of foreign trade and the indust~ial prosperity of our own people.

Veterans of the Wars.

Another republican policy which must ever be maintaIned is thM 01 generous provision for those who have fought the country's battle and for the widOWS and orphans of those who have fallen. We commend the Increase In the widows' pensions made by the present congress, and declare for a liberal administration of all pension laws, to the end that the people's gratitude may grow deeper as the memories of heroic sacrifice grow more sacred with the passing years. Civil Service. We reaffirm our former declaration that the civil service laws, enacted, extended and ('nforced by the repuhllcan party, shall continue to be main tained and obeyed. Public Health. We commend the efforts designed to secure greater efficiency In national public health agencies, and favor such l!lgislatlon as will effect this purpose.

Bureau of Mines and Mining. In the interest of the great mineral Industries of our country, we earnestly favor the establishment of a Bureau of Mines and Mining.

Cuba, Porto Rico, Philippines and Panama. The American government, In republican hands, has freed Cuba, given peace and protection to Porto Rico and the Philippines under our flag, and begun the construction of the Panama canal. The present conditions in Cuba. vindicate the wisdom of maintaining between that republic and this Imperishable bonds of mutual Interest, and the hope Is· now expressed that the Cuban people will soon again be ready to assume complete soverlgnty over their land. In Porto Rico, the government of the United States Is meeting loyal and patriotic support; order and prosperity prevail, and· the well being of the people Is In every respect promoted and conserved. We believe that the native Inhabitants of Porto Rico should be at once collectively made citizens of· the United States, and that all others properly qualified under existing laws residing In sa.1d Island should have the privilege of becoming na.turalized. 324 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

In the Philippines, insurrection has been suppressed, law established and lifll and property made secure. Education and practical experience are there advancing the capaciJty of the people for government, and the policies of McKinley and Roosevelt are leading the inhabitants step by step to an ever-increasing measure of home rule. Time has justified the selection of the Panama route for the great Isthmian canal, and the events have shown the wisdom of securing authority over the-zone through which It is to be built. The work is now progressing with a rapidity far beyond. expectation, and already the realization of the hopes of centuries has come within the vision of the near future.

New Mexico and Arizona.

We favor the immediate admission of the territories of New Mexico and Arizona as separate states in the Union.

Centenary of the Birth of Lincoln.

February 12, 1909, will be the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, an immort'al spirit 'whose fame has brightened with the receding years, and whose name stands among the first of thos given to the world by the great republic. We recommend that this centennial anniversary be celebrated throughout the confines of the nation by all the people thereof, and especially by ,the public schools, as an exercise to stir the patriotism of the youth of the land.

Democratic I ncapacity for Government.

We call the attention of the American people to the fa.ct that none of !the great measures here advocated by the republlcan party could be enacted, and none of the steps forward here proposed could be taken, under a democratic administration or under one In which party responsibility is divided. The continuance in power of that party which believes in them and which possesses the capacity to put them into operMion.

Fundamental Differences Between Democracy and Republicanism

Beyond all platform declarations there are fundamental differences be \ween the republican party and its chief opponent which makes the one worthy and the other unworthy of public trust. In history the difference between democracy and republicanism is that the one stood for debased currency, the other for honest currency; the one for free silver; the other for sound money; the one for free trade. the other for protection; the one for the contraction of American influence, the other for its expansion; the one has been forced to abandon every position taken on the great issues before the people, the other has held and vin dicated all. In experience, the difference between democracy and republicanism is that the one means adversi:ty, while the other means prosperity; one means low wages, the other means high; one means doubt and debt, the other means confidence and thrift. ? In principle the difference between democracy and republlcanism Is that one stands for vaciJIation and timidity in government, the other for strength and purpose; one promises, the .other performs; one finds fault, the other finds work. ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 325

The present tendencies of the two parties are even more marked by inherent differences. The ,trend of democracy is toward socialism, while the republican party stands for a wise and regulated individualism. Socialism would destroy wealth. Republicanism would prevent its abuse. Socialism would give to each an equal right to take; republicanism would give to each an equal right to earn. Socialism would offer an equality of possession which would soon leave no one anything to possess; republicanism would give equality of opportunity which would assure to each his share of ... constantly increasing sum of possessions. In line with this tendency, the democratic party of today believes in government ownership, while the republican party believes in government regulation. Ultimately democracy would have the nation own the people, while republicanism would have the people own the nation. Upon this platform of principles and purposes, reaffirming our adherence to every republican doctrine proclaimed since the birth of the party, we go before the country asking the support not only of those who have acted with us heretofore, but of all our fellow citizens who, regardless of past political difference, unite in the desire to maintain the policies, perpetuate the blessings and make secure the achievements of a greater America.

National convention, Denver, Colorado, July 7-11, 1908. Temporary Chairman-Theodore A. Bell, of California. Permanent Chairman-Henry D. Clayton, 'of Alabama. 'SecretarY-Drey Woodson, of Kentucky.

NATIONAL PLATFORM.

~We. the representatives of the democracy of the united States, in national convention assembled, reaffirm our belief in, and pledge our loyalty to the principles of the party. We rejoice at the increasing signs of an awakening throughout the country. The various investigations have traced graft and political corrup tion to the representatives of predatory wealth and laid bare the unscrupulous methods by which they have debauched elections and preyed upon a defense less public through the subservient officials whom they have raised to place and power. The conscience of the nation is now aroused and will free the government from the grip of those who have made it a business asset of the favor seel;:ing corporations; it must become again a people's govern ment, and be administered in all its departments according to the Jeffer sonion maxim, "equal rights to all, special privileges to none." "ShaH the people rule?" is the overshadowing issue which manifests itsefi' in all the questions now under discussion.

Economy In Administration.

The republican Congress in the session just ended made appropriations amounting to $1,008",000,000, exceeding the total expenditures of 'ihe past fiscal year by $90,000,000, and leaving a deficit of more than $60,000,000 for the fiscal year just ended. yrre denounce the heedless waste of the people's moncy which has resulted in this appalling increase as a shameful violation of all prudent considerations of government and as no less than a crime against the millions of working men and women from whose earn ings the great proportion of these colossal sums must be extorted through exocessive tariff exactions and other indirect methods. It is not surprising that in the face of this shocking record the republican plMform contains no reference to economical administration or promise thereof In the future. We demand that a stop be put to this frightful extraxagance and insist upon the strictest economy in every department compatible with frugal and efficient administration. 328 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

Increase in Officeholders.

Coincident with the enormous increase in expenditure is a like addition to the number of officeholiiers. During the past year 23.784 were added costing $16,156,000, and in the past six years of republican administration the total number of new offices created aside from many commissions, has been 99,319, entailing an additional expenditure of nearly $70,000,000, as against only 10,279 new ofuces created under the Cleveland and McKinley administrations, which involved an expenditure of only $6,000.000. We de nounce this great and growing increase in the number of officeholders as not only unnecessary and wasteful, but also as clearly indicating a deliberate purpose on the part of the administration to keep the republican party in power at public expense by thus increasig the number of its retainers and dependents. Such procedure we declare to be no less dangerous an" corrupt than the open purchase of votes at the polls.

Arbitrary Power-The Speaker.

The House of Represntatives was designed by the fathers of the consti tution to be the popular branch of our government responsive to the public will. The House of Representatives, as controlled in recent years by the repub lican party, has ceased to be a deliberative and legislative body, responsi've to the will of a majority of its members, but has come under the absoiut(> domination of the speaker, who has entire control of its deliberations and powers of legislation. We have observed with amazement the popular branch of our federal government helpless to obtain either the consideration or enactment ot measures desired by a majority of its members. Legislative control becomes a failure when one member in the person of the speaker is more powerful than the entire body. We demand that the House of Representatives shall again become a deliberative body, controlled by a majority of the people's representatives and not by the speaker, and we pledge ourselves to adopt such rules and regulations to govern the house of representatives as will enable a majority of its members to direct its deliberatios and control legislation.

Misuse of Patronage.

We condemn as a violation of the spirit of our institutions the action of the preset chief executive in using the patronage of his high office to secure the nomination for the presidency of one of his cabinet officers. A forced succession in the presidency is scarcely less repugnant to public sentiment than is life tenure in that office. No good intention on the part of the executive and no virtue in the on~ selected can justify the establishment of a dynasty, The right of the people to freely select their officials is inalienable and cannot be delegated.

PubliCity of Campaign Contributions.

We demand federal legislation forever terminating the partnership which has existed between corporations of the country and the republican party under

The Rights of the States.

Believing with Jefferson, in "the support of the state governments in all their rights as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies." and in "the preservrution of the general goverment in its whole constitutional vigQl', as the sheet anchor of our peace ~t home and safety abroad," we are opposed to the centralization implied in the suggestion, now frequently made, that the powers of the general government should be extended to judicial construction. There is no twilight zone between the nation and the state in which exploiting interests can take refuge from both; and it is as necessary that the federal government shall exercise the powers delegated to it as that the state governments shall use the authority reserved to them; but we insist that federal remedies fl)r the regulation of interstate comItJ,erce and for the prevention of private monopoly shall be added to, not substituted for state remedies.

Popular Election of Senator.

We favor the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people and regard this reform as the gateway to other national reforms.

Tariff.

We welcome the belated promise of tariff reform now offered by the republican party as a tardy tecognition of the righteousness of the demo cratic position on this question. But the people cannot safely entrust the execution of this important work to a party which is so deeply obIlgated to the highly protected interests as is the repubIlcan party. We call attention to the significant fact that th" promised relief is postponed until aner the coming election-an election to succeed in which the republican party 330 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK must have the same support from the benefic\aries of the high protective tariff as it has always heretofore received from them; and to the further fact that during the years of uninterrupted power no action whatever has been taken by the republican congress to correct the admitedly existing tariff iniquities. We favor immediate revision of the tariff by the reduction of import duties. A"Ucles entering into competition with trust controlled products should be placed upon the free list; material reduction~. should be made In the tariff upon the necessaries of life, especially upon articles competing with such American manufacturers as are sold abroad more cheaply than at home, and gradual reductions should be made in sucll other schedules as may be necessary to restore the tariff Ito a revenue basis. Existing duties have given the manufacturers of paper· a shelter behind which they have organized combinations' to raise the ,price of pulp and paper, thus imposing a tax upon the spread of knowledge. We demand the immediate removal of the tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber, timber and logs, and that these articles 'be placed upon the free list.

Income Tax.

We favor an income tax as a part of our revenue system and we urge the submission of a constitutional amendment specifically authorizing con gress to lev~ and ·collect a iW.x upon individual and corporate incomes to the end that wealth may bear its proportionate share of the burdens of the federal government.

Trusts.

A priYate moopoly is indefensible and intolerable; we therefore favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal law against guilty trust magnates ad officials and demand the enactment of such additional legislation as may be ecessary to make It impossible for a private monopoly to exist In the United States. Among the additional remedies, we specify three: First, a law preventing a duplication of directors among competing corporations; second. a license system which will, without abridging the right of each state to create corporations, or i,ts rights to regulate as it will foreign corporations doing business within Its limits make it necessary for a manufacturer or trading 'corporation engaged in interstate commerce to take out a federal license before it shall be permitted to control as much as twenty-five per cent of the product In which it deals, the license to pr·otect the public from watm-ed stock and to prohibit the control by such corporation of more than fifty per cent of the total amount of any product consumed in the United States; and third, a law compelling such licensed corporation to sell Ito all purchasers in all parts of. the country on the same terms, after making due allowance for cost of transportation.

Railroad Legislation.

We assert the right of congress to exercise complete control over Inter state commerce and the right of each state to exercise like control over commerce within Its borders. We demand such enlargement of the powers of the Interstate commerce commission as may be necessary to enable it to compel railroads to perform their duties as common carriers and prevent discrimination and extortion. We favor the' efficient supervision and rate regulation of railroads en gaged In Interstate commerce. To this end we recommend the valuation of railroads by the Interstate commerce commission,' such vaI'uation to take into consideration the physical value of the property, the original cost, the ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 331 cost of production, an'd all elements of value that will render the va.luation fair and just. We favor such legislation as will prohibit the railroads from engaging in business which brings them into competition with their shippers; also legislation which will assure such reduction in transportation rates as con ditions will permit, care being taken to avoid reductions' 'that would compel a reduction of wages, prevent adequate service or do injustice to legitimMe investments. We heartily approve the laws prohibiting the pass and the reb!l-te and we favor any further necessary legislation to restrain, correct and prevent such abuses. We favor such legislrution as will increase the power of the interstate commerce commission, giving to it the initiative with reference to rates and transportation charges put into effect by the railroad companies, and permit ting the interstMe commerce commission on its own initiative to declare a rate illegal and as being more than should be charged for such service. The present law relating thereto is inadequate by reason of the fact that the fact that the interstate commece commission is without power to fix or inves- ' tigate a rate until complaint has been made to it by the shipper. We further declare in favor of a law providing that all agreements of traffic or other associations of railway agents affecting interstate rates, ser vice or classification shall be unlawful unless filed with and approved by the interstate commerce commission. We favor the enactment of a law giving to the interstate commerce com mission the power to inspect proposed railroad tariff rates or schedules be fore they sholl take effect, and if they be found to be unreasonable to initiate an adjustment thereof.

Telegraph and Telephone.

We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law to regulate under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission, the sates and services of telegraph, and telephone companies engaged in the transmission of messages between ,the states.

Banking.

The panic of 1907, coming without any legitimate excuse when the republican party had for a decade been in complete control of the federal government, furnishes additional proof that it is either unwilling or incom petent to protect the interests of the general public. It has so linked the country to Wall street that the sins of the speculators are visited upon the whole people. While refusing to rescue the wealth producers from spoilation at the hands of the stock gamblers and speculators in farm products" It has deposited treasury funds, without interest and without competition, in favorite banks. It has used an emergency for which it is largely respon sible to force through .congress a bill changing the basis of. bank currency and inviting market manipulation, and has failed to give to the fifteen mIl lion, depositors of the country protection in their savings. We believe that insofar as the needs of commerce require an emergency currency, such currency should be issued and controlled by the federal gov ernment and loaned on adequate security to national and state banks. We 'pledge ourselves to legislation under which the national banks shall be required to establish a guarantee fund for the prompt payment of the deposi 'tors of any insoivent national bank, under an equitable system which shail 'be' available' to all state banking institutions wishing to use it. We favor a postal savings bank if the guaranteed ba~ cannot be se cured, and believe that it should be so constituted as to keep the deposited 332 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK money in the communities where the depositors live. But we condemn the policy of the republican party in proposing postal savings banks under a plan of conduct by which they will aggregate the deposits of the rural communi ties and redeposit the same while under government charge in the banks of Wall street, thus depleting the circulating medium of the producing regions and unjustly favoring the speculative markets.

Labor and Injunctions.

The courts of justice are the bulwarks of our liberties and we yield to none in our purpose to maintain their dignity. Our party has given to the bench a long line of distinguished judges who have added to the respect and confidence in which this department must be jealously maintained. We re sent the attempt of the republican party to raise a false issue respecting the judiciary. It is an unjust reflection upon a great body of our citizens to as sume that they lack respect for the courts. It is the function of the courts to interpret the laws which the people create, and if the laws appear to work economk, social or political injustice, it is our duty to change them. The only basis upon which the integrity of our courts can stand is that of un swerving justice and protection of life, personal liberty and property. If judicial processes may be abused, we should guard them against abuse. Experience has proven the necessity of a modification of the present law relating to injunctions, and we reiterate the pledge of our national platforms of 1896 and 1904 in favor of the measure which passed the United States senate in 1896, but which a republican congress has ever since refused to enact, relating to contempts in federal courts and providing for trial by jury in cases of indirect contempt. Questions of judicial practice have arisen especially in connection with industrial disputes. We believe that the parties to all judicial proceedings should be treated with rigid impartiality and that injunctions should not be issued in any cases in which injunction would not issue if no industrial dis putes were involved. The expanding organiza,uon of industry makes it essential tha·t there should be no abridgement of the right of wage earners and producers to organize for the protection of wages and the improvement of labor conditions, to the end that such labor organizations and their members should not he regarded as illegal combinations in restraint of ~rade. We favor the eight-hour day on all government work. We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law by congress as far as tlie federal jurisdiction extends, for a general employers' liability act covering injury to body or loss of life of employes. We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law creating a department of labor, represented separately in the president's cabinet, in which department shall be included the subject of mines and mining.

The Philippines.

We condemn the experiment in imperialism as an inexcusable blunder which has involved us in enormous expense, brought us weakness instead of strength, and laid our nation open to the charge of abandoning a fundamental doctrine of self government. We fa.vor an immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to recognize the Independence of th Philippine islands as soon as a stable government can be established, such Independence to be guaranteed by us as we guaranteed, the Independence of Cuba, until the neutralization of the Islands can be secured by treaty with other powers.. In recognizing the Independence of the Philippines our government should retain such land as may be necessary for coaling stations and naval bases. ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 333

Waterways.

Water furnishes the cheaper means of transportation and the national government having the control of navigable waters should improve them to their fullest capacity. ,Ve earnestly favor the immediate adoption of a lib eral and comprehensive plan for improving every water course in the union which is justified by the needs of eommerce. and to secure that end we favor, when practicable, the connection of the Great Lakes with the navi gable rivers and with the Gulf through the Mississippi river, and 'the navi gable rivers with each other by artificial canals, with a view to perfecting a system of inland waterways to be navigated by vessels of standard draught. We favor the co-ordination of the various services of the government connected with waterways in one service for -the purpose of aiding in the completion of such a system of inland waterways; and we favor the creation of a fund ample for continuous work which shall be conducted under the direction of a commission of experts to be authorized by law.

Merchant Marine.

We believe in the upbuilding of the American merchant marine withollt new or additio'!al burdens upon the people and without bounties frolll the public treasury.

The Navy.

The constitutional provision that a navy shall be provided and maintained means an adequate navy, and we believe that the interests of this country would be best served by having a navy sufficient to defend the coasts of this country and protect American citizens wherever their rights may be In jeopardy.

Protection of American Citizens.

We pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad and to use all proper methods to secure for them, whether native born or naturalized, and without distinction of r:Lee or creed, the equal protection of the law and the enjoyment of all rights and privileges open to them under our treaties; and if, under existing treaties, the right of travel and sojourn is denied to America.n citizens or recognition Is withheld from American passports by any countries on the ground of race or creed, we favor prompt negotiations with the government of such coun tries to secure the removal of these unjust discriminations. We demand that all over the world a duly authenticated paSSpDI"~ issued by the government of the United States to an American citizen shall he' proof of the fact that he is an American citizen and shall entitle him ::0 the treatment due him as such.

Foreign Patents.

We believe that where an American citizen holding a patent in a foreign country is compelled to manufacture under his patent within a creditabie time, similar restriction should be applied in this country, to the citizens or subjects of such a country.

Civil Service.

The law pertaining to the civil service should be honestly and rigidly en forced, to the end that merit and ability shall be the standard of appOint ment and promotion, rather than services rendered to a political party. 334 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

Pensions.

We favor a generous pension policy, both as a matter of justice to the surviving veterans and their dependents, and because it tends to relieve the ment and promotion, rather than services rendered to a politiial party.

Health Bureau.

We advocate the organization of all existing national public health agen cies into a national bureau of public health, with such power over sanitary conditions connected with factories, mines, tenements, child lahor, and such other subjects as are properly within the jurisdiction of the federal govern ment, and do not interfere with the power of the states controlling public health agencies.

Agricultural and Mechanical Education.

The democratic party favors the extension of agricultural, mechanical and industrial education. We therefore favor the establishment of district agricultural experiment stations and secondary agricultural and mechanical colleges in the several states.

Oklahoma.

We welcome Oklahoma to the sisterhood of states and heartily congratu late her upon the auspicious beginning of a great career.

Arizona and New Mexico.

The national democratic party has for the last sixteen years labored for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states of the federal union, and recognizing that each possesses every qualification successfully to maintain separate state governments, we favor the immediate admission of these territories as separate states.

Alaska and Porto Rico. W demand for the people of Alaska and Porto Rico the full enjoyment of the rights and privileges of a territorial form of government, and that the officials apPOinted to administer the government of all our territories and the District of Columbia should be thoroughly qualified by previous bona. fide residence.

Hawaii.

We favor the application of the principles of the land laws of the United States to our newly acquired territory, Hawaii, to the end that the public lands of that territory may be held and .utilized for the benefit of bona fide homesteaders. Post Roads.

We favor federal aid to state and local authorities in the construction and maintenance of post roads.

Natural Resources.

We repeat the demand for Internal development, and for the conserva tion of our natural resources, contained In previous platforms. the enforce ment ot which Mr. Roosevelt has vainly sought from a reluctant party; and to that end we insist upon the preservation, protection and replacement ot ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 335 needed forests, the preservation of the public domain for homesteaders, the protection of the nation's naturrul resources, in timber, coal, iron and oil, against monopolistic control, the development of our waterways for naviga tion and every other useful purpose, including the irrigation of arid lands, the reclamation of swamp lands, the clarification of streams, the develop ment of water power and the preservation of electric power generated by this natural force from the control of monopoly, and to such end we urge the exereise of all powers, national, state and municipaJ, both separately and in co-operation. We insist upon a policy of administration of our forest reserves, which shall relieve it of the abuses which have arisen thereunder and which shall, as far as practicable, conform to the police regulations of the several states wherein the reserves are located, which shall enable homesteaders as of right to occupy and acquire title to all portions thereof which are espeeially adapted to agriculture, and which shall furnish a system of timber sales available as well to the private citizen as to the large manufacturer and consumer.

Grazing Lands.

The establishment of rules and regulations, if any such are necessary in relation to free grazing upon the public lands outside of forest or other reservations until the same shaH eventually be disposed of should be left to the people of the states respectively in which such lands may be situated.

Pan-American Relations.

The democratic party recognizes the importance and advantage of devel oping closer ties of Pan-American friendship and commerce between the United States and her sister nations of Latin America, and favors the taking of such steps, consistent with democratic policies, for better acquaintance, greater mutual confidence and larger exchange of trade as will bring lasting benefit not only to the United States, but to this group of American republics having constitutions, forms of government, ambitions and interests akin to our own.

Panama Control.

We believe that the Panama canal will prove of great value to our country and favor its speedy completion.

Asiatic Immigration.

We favor full protection by both national and state governments within their respective spheres, of all foreigners residing in the United States under treaty, but we are opposed to the admission of Asiatic immigrants who can not be amalgamated with our population or whose presence among us would raise a race issue and Involve us in diplomatic controversies with orlenta;l powers.

Conclusion.

The democratic party stands for democracy; the republican party has drawn to itself all that Is aristocratic and plutocratic. The democratic party Is the champion of equal rights and opportunities to all; Hie republican party is the party of privilege and private monopoly. The democratic party listens to the voice of the whole people and gauges progress by the prosperity and advancement of the average man; the repub Ilcan party is subservant ,to the comparatively few who are the beneficiaries 336 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK of governmental favoritism. We invite the co-operation of all, regardless of previous pOlitical affiliation or past differences, who desire to preserve a gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people, and who favor such an administration of the government as will insure, as far as human wisdom can, that each citizen shall draw from s\,ciety a reward commensurate with his contribution to the welfare of society.

PL.ATFORM.

The socialist party, in national convention assembled, again declares it self as the party of the working class, and appeals for the SUPPOl't of all workers of the United States and of all citizens who sympathize with the great and just cause of labor. We are at this moment in the midst of one of those industrial break downs that periodically paralyze the life of the nation. The much-boasted era of our national prosperity has been followed by one of general misery. Factories, mills and mines are closed. Millions of men, ready, willing and able to provide the nation with all the necessities and comforts of life are forced }nto idleness and starvation. Within recent times the trusts and monopolies have attained an enor mous and menacing development. They have acquired the power to dictate the terms upon which we shall be allowed to live. The trusts fix the prices of our bread. meat and sugar, of our coal, oii and clothing, of our raw ma terial and machinery, of all the necessities of life. The present desperate condition of the workers has been made the oppor tunity for a renewed onslaught on organized labor. The highest courts of the country have within the last year rendered decision after decision depriving the workers of rights which they had won by generations of struggle. The attempt to destroy the Western Federation of Miners, although de feated by ,the solidarity of organized labor and the socialist movement, re vealed the existence of a far-reaching and unscrupulous conspiracy by the ruling class against the organizations of labor. In their efforts to take the lives of the leaders of the miners the con spirators Yiolated state laws and the federal constitutl.on in a manner seldom equaled even In a country so completely dominated by the profit-seeking class as is the United States. The congress of the United States has shown its contempt for the inter ests of labor as plainly and unmistakably as have the other branches of gOy ernment. The laws for which the labor organizations have continually peti tioned have failed to pass. Laws ostensibly enacted for the benefit of labor have been distorted against labor. The working class of the United States cannot expect any remedy for Its wrongs from the present ruling class or from the dominant. parties. So long as a small number of individuals are permitted to control the sources of the nation's wealth for their private profit in competition with each othe.r and for the exploitation of their fellowmen. industrial depressions are bound to occur at certain intervals. No currency reform or other legislative measures proposed by capitalist reformers can avail against these fatal results of utter anarchy In production. Individual competition leads inevitably to combinations and trusts. No amount of government regulation, or of publicity. or of restrictive legislation will arrest the natural course of modern industrial development. While our courts. legislatures and executive offices remain In the hands of the ruling classes and their agents, the government )'I'1ll be u'sd in the interest of these classes as against the toilers. Political parties are but the expression of economic class interests. The republican, the democratic, and ,the so-called "independence" parties and all ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 341 parties other than the socialist party, are financed, directed and controlled by the representatives of different groups of the ruling class. In the maintenance of class government both the democratic and repub lican parties have been equally guilty. The republican party has had cuntrol of the national government and has been directly and actively responsible for these wrongs. The democratic party, while saved from direct responsi bility by its political impotence, has shown itself equally subservient to the aims of the capitalist class whenever and wherever it has been in power. The old chattel slave owning aristocracy of the south, which was the back. bone of the democratic party, has been supplanted by a child slave plutocracy. In the great cities of our country the democratic party is allied with the criminal element of the slums as the republican party is allied with the preda tory criminals of the palace in maintaining the interest of the possessing class. The various "reform" movements and parties which have sprung up withm recent years are but the clumsy expression of widespread popular dis content. They are not based on an intelligent understanding of historical development of civilization and of the economic and political needs of our time. They are bound to perish as the numerous middle class reform move ment~ of the past have perished.

Program.

As measures calculated to strengthen the working class in its fight for the realization of this ultimate aim, ana to increase Its power of resistance against capitalist oppression, we advucate and pledge ourselves and our elected officers to the following program:

General Demands.

1. The immediate government reHef for the unemployed workers by building schools, by reforesting of cut-over and waste lands, by reclamation of arid tracts, and the building of canals, and by extending all other useful public works. All persons employed on such works shall be employed directly by the government under an eight-hour work day and at the prevailing union wages. The government shall also loan money to states and municipalities without interest for the purpose of carrying on public works. It shail con tribute to the funds of labor organizations for the purpose of assisting their unemployed members, and shall take such other measures within its power as will lessen the widespread misery of the workers caused by the misrule of the capitalist class. 2. The collective ownership of railroads, telegraphs, telephones, steam ship lines and all other means of social transportation and communication and all land. 3. The collective ownership of all industries which are organized on a national scale and in which competition has virtually ceased to exist. 4. Tlie extension of ,the public domain to include mines, quarries, oil wells, forests and water power. 5. That occupancy and use of land be the sole title to possession. The scientific reforestration of timber lands, and the reclamation of swamp lands. The land so reforested or reclaimed to' be permanently retained as a part of th public domain. 6. The absolute freedom of press, speech and assemblage.

Industrial Demands.

7. The improvement of the industrial condition of the workers. (a) By shortening the work day in keeping with the increased produG tlveness of machinery. 342 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

(b) By securing to every worker a rest period of not less than a da3 and a half in each week. (c) By securing a more effective inspection of workshops and factories. (d) By forbidding the employment of children under sixteen years of age. (e) By forbidding the interstate transportation of the products of child labor, of convict labor and all uninspected factories. (f) By abolishing official charity and substituting in its place compul sory insurance against unemployment, illness, accidents, invalidism, old age and death.

Political Demands.

8. The extension of inheritance taxes, graduated in proportion to the amount of the bequests and to the nearness of kin. 9. A graduated income tax. 10. Unrestricted and equal suffrage for men and women, and we pledge ourselves to engage in an active campitign in that direction. 11. The initiative and referendum, proportional representation and the righ t of recall. 12. The abolition of the senate. 13. The abolition of the power usurped by the supreme court of the United States to pass upon the constitutionality of legislation enacted by Congress. National laws to be repealed or abrogated only by act of Congress or by a referendum of the whole people. 14. That the constitution be made amendable by majority vote. 15. The enactment of further measures for general education and for the conservation of health. The bureau of education to be made a department. The creation of a department of public health. 16. The separation of the present bureau of labor from the department of commerce and labor, and the establishment of a department of labor. 17. That all judges be elected by the people for short terms, and that the power to issue injunctions shall be curbed by immediate legislation. 18. The free administration of justice. Such measures of relief as' we may be able to force from capitalism are but a preparation of the workers to seize the whole powers of government, in order that they may thereby lay hold of the whole system of industry and thus come to their rightful inheritance.

PEOPLE'S PARTY.

NATIONAL TICKET.

For President THOMAS E. WATSON, of Georgia.

For Vice-Pre,sident, SAMUEL W. WILLIAMS;, of Indiana.

National Convention, St. Louis, April 2-3, 1908. Temporary Chairman-Jacob S. Coxey, of Ohio. Permanent Chairman-George A. Honnecker, of New Jersey. Secretary-John S. Allen, of Oklahoma.

PLATFORM.

Preamble. The People's party of the United States in convention assembled at St Louis. Missouri, this 2nd day of Aprll, 1908, with Increased confidence In its contentions, reaffirms the ,declara.tions made by its national convention at Omaha. The admonition of Washington's farewell; the state papers of Jefferson and the words of Lincoln are the teachings of our greatest apostles of human rights and political liberty. There has been a departure from the tea.chlngs of these great patriots during recent administrations. The government haa been controlled so as to place the rights of property above the rights of hu manity and has brought the country to a condition that Is full of danger for our national well-being. Financial combinations have had too much power over Congress and too much influence with the administrative departments of the government. Prerogatives of government have been unwisely and often corruptly sur rendered to corporate monopoly and aggregations of predatory wealtb. The supreme duty of the hour Is for the people to Insist that these functions of government be exercised In their own Interest. Not the giver of the "thirty pieces" of silver has been condemned, but the "Judas" that received them, execrated through the ages; the sycophants of monopoly deserve no better fate.

Money. The issua;nce 6f money is a function of government and should not be delegated to corporations or individuals. The constitution gives Congress alone the power to issue money and regulate the value therof. We therefore demand that all money shall be Issued by the government direct to the people without .the Intervention of banks and shall be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and In quantity sufficient to supply the needs of the country. The Issue and distribution of full legal tender money from the treasury' shall not be through private banks, preferred or otherWise, but direct to the people without interest for the construction and purchase of federal and in ternal Improvements, utilities and employment of labor. ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 345

Land.

The public domain is the sacred heritage of all the people, and should be held for homesteads for actual settlers only. Alien ownership should be forbidden and lands now held by aliens or by corporations who have violated the conditions of their grants should be restored to the public domain.

Trusts and Monopolies.

To prevent unjust discriminati()ns and monopoly the government should own and control the railroads and those public utilities which in their nature are monopolies. To perfect the postal service the government should own and operate the general telegraph and telephone systems and provide a parcels post. As to those trusts and monopolies which are not public utilities or natural monopolies we demand that those special privileges which they now enjoy and which alone enable them to exist should be immediately withdrawn. Corporations being the creatures of government should be subjected to such governmental regulation and control as will adequately protect the public. We demand the taxation of monopoly privileges while they remain in pri vate hands to tile extent of the value of the privilge granted. We demand that Congress shall enact a general law uniformly rgulatinll the powers and duties of all incorporated companies doing interstate business.

Initiative and Referendum.

As a means of placing all public questions directly under the control of the people we demand that legal provision be made under which. the people may exercise the initiative, referendum and proportional representation, and direct vote for all public officers with tile right of recall. We recommend a federal statute that will recognize the principle of the initiative and referendum, and thereby restore to the voters the right to instruct the n8!tional representatives.

Labor.

We believe in the right of those who labor to organize for their mutual protection and benefit, and pledge the efforts of the People's party to preserve this right inviol8!te. We condemn the recent attempt to destroy tile power of trades unions through the unjust use of federal injunction, substituting government by in junction for free government. We favor the enactment of legislation looking to the improvement of con ditions for wage-earners. We demand the abolition of ehild labor in factories and mines, and the suppression of sweat-ShOps. We oppose the u~e of convict labor in competition with free labor. We demand the exclusion from American shores of foreign pauper labor imported to beat down the wages of intelligent American workingmen. We favor the eight-hour work day, and legislation protecting the Bves and limbs of workmen through the use of safety appliances. We demand the enactment of an employers' liability act within consti tutional ·bounds. We declare against 'the continuation of the criminal carelessness of the operation of mines through which thousands of miners have lost their lives to increase the dividends of stockholders and demand the immediate adoption of precautIOnary measures to prevent a repetitIOn of such horrible catas trophes. 346 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

We declare that in time of depression when workingmen are thrown into enforced idleness that wotks of public improvement should be at once inaug urated and work provided for those who cannot otherwise secure employment. We especially emphasize the declaration of the Omaha platform that "Wealth belongs to him who creates it and every dollar taken from labor without a just equivalent is robbery." We congratulate the farmers of the country upon the enormous growth of their splendid organizations and the good already accomplished through them, bringing higher prices for farm products and better conditions generally for those engaged in agricultural pursuits, We urge the importance of maintain ing these organizations and extending their power and influence.

Courts.

We condemn all unwarranted assumption of authority by inferior federal courts in annulling, by injunction, the laws of the states, and demand legis lative action by Congress which will inhibit such usurpation of such power In cases involving state legislation. We are opposed to gambling in futures. We present to all people the foregoing declaration of principles and poli cies as our deep, earnest abiding convictions; and now, before the country and in the name of the great moral but eternal power in the universe that makes for right thinking and right living and determines the destiny of nations. thi~ convention pledges that the People's party will stand by these principles and policies in success and in defeat; that never again will the party by the siren songs and false promises of designing politicians be tempted to change its course or be again drawn upon the treacherous rocks of fusion.

INDEPENDENCE PARTY.

NATIONAL TICKET,

For President. THOMAS L. HISGEN, of Massachusetts.

For Vice-President, JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES of Georgia.

National convention, Chicago, July 27-28, 1908. Temporary Chairman-William R. Hearst, of New York. Permanent Chairman-Charles A. Walsh of Iowa. Secretary-William A. DeFord, of New York.

PLATFORM.

We, independent American citizens, represenflng the Independence party In forty-four states and two territories, have met in national convention to nominate, absolutely independent of all other political parties, candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States. Our action is based upon a determination to wrest the conduct of public affairs from the hands of selfish Interests, political tricksteril and corrupt bosses, and make the government, as the founders intended, Ij.n agency for the' common good. At a period of unexampled national prosperity and promise, a staggering blow was dealt to legitimate business by the unmole~ted practice of stock 348 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK watering and dishonest financiering. Multitudes of defenseless investors, thousands of honest business men and an army of idle workingmen are paying the penalty. Year by year, fostered by wasteful and reckless governmental extravagance, by the manipulation of trusts and by a privilege creating tar iff, >the cost of living mounts higher and higher. Day by day tpe control of the government drifts further away from the people and more firmly into the grip of machine politicians and party bosses.

Relief for Voters.

The Republican. and Democrat parties are not only responsible -for these conditions, but are committed to their indefinite continuance. Prodigal of promises, they are so barren of performance that to a new party of independ ent voters the country must look for the ~stablishment of ,a new policy and a return to genuine popular government. Our object is not to introduce violent innovations or startling new theo ories. We of the Independence party look back, as Lincoln did, to the Dec laration of Independence as the fountain head of all pOlitical inspiration. .It is not our purpose to attempt to revolutionize the American system of govern ment, but to restore the action of the government to the principles of Wash ingon and Jefferson and Lincoln. It is not our purpose either to effect a radioal change in the American system of government, ·but to conserve for the citizens of the United States their privileges and liberties won for them by the founders of this government and to perpetuate the principles and policies upon which the nation's greatness has been built. The Independence party is, therefore, a conservative force in American politics, devoted to the preservation of Americ:an liberty and independence, to honesty in elections, to opportunity in business and to equality before the law. Those who believe in the Independence party and work with it are con vinced that a genuine democracy should exist; that a true republican form of government should continue; that the power of government should rest with the majority of the people, and that the government should be conducted for the benefit of the whole citizenship, rather than for special advantage of any particular class.

Direct Nomination.

As of first importance, in order to restore the power of government to the people to make their will supreme in the primaries, in the election and in the control of public officials after they have been elected, we declare for direct nominations, the initiative and referendum and the right of recall. It ,is idle to cry out against the evil of bossism while we perpetrate a sys tem under which the boss is inevita,ble. The destruction of an individual boss is of little value. The people in their politics must establish a system which will eliminate, not only an objectionable boss, but the system of bossism. Representative government is made a mockery by the system of modern party conventions dominated by bosses and controUed by cliques. We demand the natural remedy of direct nominations by which the people not only elect, but, which is far more important, select their representatives.

The Referendum.

We believe in the principles of the initia:tive and referendum and we par ticularly demand that no franchise grant go into operation until the terms and conditions ha"e been approved by popular vote in the locality interested.

The Recalf.

We demand for the people the right to recall public officials from public service. The power to make officials resides in the people, and in them also ELECTIONS AND PLATFORM 349 should reside the power to unmake and remove from office any offieial who demonstrates his unfitness or betrays the public trust.

Corruption Funds.

Of next importance in destroying the power of selfish special interests and the corrupt political bosses whom they control is to wrest from the,ir hands their main weapon, the corruption fund. "\Ve demand severe and effective legislation against all forms of corrupt practices at elections and advocate prohibiting the use of any money at elections except. for meetings, literature and the necessary traveling expenses of candidates. Bidding for votes, the Republican and Democratic candidates are making an outcry about publicity of contributions, although both the Republican and Democratic parties have for years consistently blocked every effort to pass a corrupt practices act. Publicity of contributions is des1rable and should be required, but the main 'matter of importance is the use to which contributions are put. We believe that the dishonest use of money in the past, whether contributed by individ uals or by corporations, has been chiefly responsible for the corruption which has undermined our system of popular government.

Economic Administration.

We demand honest conduct of public office and businesslike and economi cal administration of public affairs, and we condemn the gross extravagance of federal administration and its appalling annual increase in appropriations. Unnecessary appropriations mean unnecessary taxes, and unnecessary taxes, whether direct or indirect, are paid by the people and add to the everincreas lng cost of living.

Over-Capital ization.

We condemn the evil of over-capitalization. Modern industrial conditions make the corporation and stock company a necessity, but over-capitalization in corporations is as harmful and criminal as is personal dishonesty in an individual. Compelling'the payment of dividends upon great sums that have never been invested, upon masses of watered stock not justified by the prop erty, overcapitalization prevents the better wages, the better public services and the lower cost that should result from American inventive genius and the wide organization which is replacing costly individual competition. The collapse of dishonestly inflated enterprises robs investors, closes banks, de stroys confidence and engenders panics. The Independenc party advocates as a primary necessity for sounder business conditions and improved public service the enactment of laws, state and national, to prevent watering of stOCK, dishonest issues of bonds and other forms of corporation frauds.

Labor,

We denounce the so-called labor planks of the Republican and Demo cratic "latforms as political buncombe and contemptible cIap-trap unworthy of national parties claiming to be serious and sincere. The Republican declaration that "no injunction or temporary restraining order should be issued without notice, except where irreparablEf injury would result from delay" is empty verbiage, for a showing of irreparable injury can always be made and is always made in ex parte affidavits. The Democratic declaration that "injunctions should not be issued in any case in which injunctions should not issue if no industrial dispute were in volved" is meaningless and worthless. 350 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

Such insincere and meaningless declarations place a low estimate upon the intelligence of the average "',merican workingman and exhibit either ignorance of or indifference to the real interests of labor. The Independence party condelIlr;s the aruitrary usc of the writ of in junction and contempt proceedings as a violation of the fundamental American right ·of trial by jury. From the foundation of our government down to 1872 the federal judiciary act prohibited the issue of any injunction without reasonable notice until after a hearing. We assert that in all actions growing out of a dispute be tween employers and employes concerning terms or conditions of employment, no injunction should issue until after a trial upon the merits, that such trial should be had before a jury and that in no case of alleged contempt should any person be deprived of liberty without a trial by jury. The Independence party believes that the distribution of wealth is as im portant as the creation of wealth, and indorses those organizations among farmers and workers which tend to bring about a just discrimination of wealth through good wages for workers and good prices for farmers, and which protect the employer and the consumer through equality of price for lator and for product, and we favor such legislation as will remove them from the operation of the Sherman anti-trust law.

Eight-Hour Day.

We indorse the eight-hour day, favor its application to all government em ployes and demand the enactment of laws requiring that all work done for the government. whether federal or state, and whether done dirctly or indi retly through contractors or sub-contractors, shall be done on an eight-hour basis. We favor the enactment of a law condemning as illegal any combination or conspiracy to blacklist employes. We demand protection for workmen through enforced use of Btandard safety appli».nces and provisions of hygienic conditions in the operation of factories, railways, mills, mines and all Industrial undertakings. We advocate state and federal inspection of railways to secure a greater safety for railway employes and for the traveling public. We call for the enactment of stringent laws fixing employers' liabilities and a rigid prohibition of child labor ,through co-operation between the state governments and the national government. We condemn the manufacture and sale of prison-made goods In the open market in competition with free labor manufactured goods. We demand that convicts be employed direct by different states in the manufacture of pro ducts for use in state institutions and in making good roads and in no case snan convicts be hired out to contractors or sub-contractors. We favor the creation of a department of liabor Including mines and mlJ14 lng, the head of which shall be a member of the president's cabinet. The great abuses of grain Inspection by which the producers are lJlun dered. demand immediate and vigorous correction. To that end we favor federal Inspection under a strict civil service law.

Currency.

The Independence party declares that the right to issue money is Inherent In the government and it favors the establishment of a central governmental bank through which the money so issued shall be put Into general circulation.

The Tariff.

We demand a revision of the tariff, not by the friends of the tariff, but by the friends of the people, and declare for a. gradual reduction of tariff ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 351 duties, with just consideration for the rights of the consuming public, and of established industry. T.here should be no protection for oppressive trusts which sell cheaply abroad and take advantage of the tariff at home to' crush competition, raise prices, control production and limit work and wages.

Railroads.

'.rhe railroads must be kept open to all upon exaCltly equal terms. Every form of rebate and discrimination in railroad rates is a crime against business and must be stamped out. We demand adequate railroad facilities and advo cate a bill empowering shippers in time of need to compel railroads to provide sufficient cars for freight and passenger traffic and other railroad facilities through summary appeal to the courts. We favor the creation of an Inter state Commerce Court, whose sole function it shall be to review speedily and enforce summarily the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Interstate Commerce Commission should have the power to initiate investi gation into the reasonableness of rates and practices, and no increase in rates should be put into effect until opportunity for such investigation is afforded. The Interstate Commerce Commission should proceed at once with a physical valuation of railroads engagoo in interstate commerce.

Commercial Monopolies.

We believe that legitimate organizations in business, designed to secure an economy of operation and increased production, are beneficial wherever the public participates in the advantages which result. We denounce all combinations for restraint of trade and for the establish ment of monopoly in all products of labor and declare that such combinations are not combinations for production, but for extortion, and that activity in this direction is not industry, but robbery. In cases of infractions of the anti-trust law or of the Interstate commerce act, we believe in the enforcement of a prison penalty against the guilty and responsible individuals controlling the management of the offending corpora tions, rather than a fine imposed upon stockholders.

Public Ownership.

We advocate the extension of the principle of public ownership of public utilities, including railroads, as rapidly as municipal, state or national govern ments shall demonstrate ability to cond •• .:t public utlllties for the public benefit. We favor specifically government owaershlp of the telegraphs, such as prevai1s in every other civilized countr~ in" the world, and demand as an Immediate measure that the government shall purchase and operate the tele graphs in connection with the postal service.

Parcels Post.

The parcels post system should be rapidly and widely extended and ~ov ernment postal savings banks should be established where the people's de posits will be secure, the money to be loaned In the locality of the several banks and at a rate of Interest to be fixed by the go,"ernment.

Good Roads.

We favor the Immediate development of a national system of good roads connecting all stat£>s and national aid to states In the construction and main tenance of post roads. 352 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

Postal censorship.

We favor a court of review of the censorship and arbitrary ruUngs of the postoffice department.

Statehood.

We favor the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to separate statehood.

Bucket Shops.

We advocate such legislation, both state and national, as will suppress the bucket shop and prohibit the fictitious selling of farm products for future de livery.

National Health Bureau.

We favor the creation of a national department of public health to be presided over by a member of the medical profession, this department to ex ercise such authority over matters of public health and hygiene and sanitation which come properly within the jurisdiction of the national government and does not interfere with the right of states or municipalities.

Asiatic Exclusion.

We oppose Asiatic immigration, which does, not amalgamate with' our population, creates race issues and un-American conditions and which re duces wages and tends to lower ,the high standard of living and the high standard of morality which American civilization has established. We demand the passage of an exclusion act which shall protect American workingmen from competition with Asiatic cheap labor and which shall pro tect American civilization from the contamination of Asiatic conditions.

The Navy.

The Independence party declares for peace and against aggression and will promote the movement for the settlement of international disputes by arbitration. We believe, however, that a small navy is poor economy, and that a strong navy is the best protection in time of war and the best preventative of war. We therefore favor the speedy building of a navy sufficiently strong to protect at the same time both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States.

Inland Waterways. We rejoice in the adoption by both the Democratic and Republican plat forms of the demand of the Independence party for improved nati-onal water ways and the Mississippi Inland Deep Waterways project, to complete a ship canal from the gulf to the great lakes. We favor the extension of this sys tem to the tributaries of the Mississippi, by means of which thirty states shall be served and twenty thousand miles added to the coast line of the United States. The reclamation of arid lands should be continued and the irrigation program now contemplated by the government extended and steps taken for the conservation of the country's natural resources, which should be guarded not only against devastation and waste, but against falling into the control of monopoly. T'he abuses growing out of the adminis,tration of our forest reserves must be corrected and provision should be made for free grazing from public lands outside of forest or other reservation. In behalf of the people residing in arid portion!? of our western states we protest vigorously against the policy of the ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 353 jederal governn1ent in selling the exclusive use of ,vater and electric power derived from .public ,Yorks to private corporations, thus creating a monopoly and subjecting' citizens living in those sections to exorbitant charges for light and power and diverting enterprises originally start~d for public benefit into channels for corporate greed and oppressiun, and 'i,ve uemand that no 11101'8 ex clusive contracts he 111ade.

Protection of Citizens.

Anlcriean citizens abroad, \yhether native born ur naUlI'alized, and of whatever race or creed, lllust Le secured in the enjoYlnent of all rights lind privilege$ under our treaties. and vvhatever such rights are ,vithheld by finy country on the ground of race or religious faith, steps should be taken to se cure the 1'en10v<:11 of such injust discrirnination.

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS IN STATEHOOD ELlCTION, 1907

DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

(Adopted at Oklahoma City, June 18, 1907.)

"We, the representatives of the democratic party of the State of Oklahoma, in appealing to the citizenship of our state for, their sup· p.o·rt, do respectfully submit these principles of self-government, for which we stand and which are of special interest in the pending campaign. "\iVe believe that we should have the right of self-government im mediately, without denial, delay or evasion. "We believe the people of Oklahoma should and will condemn at the polls the efforts of those who have been trying to defeat statehood for our people. "We submit to the people of Oklahoma the best state constitution that has ever been written, and in asking the suffrage of the patriotic citizenship of this state, we firmly stand upon this constitution in its. entirety as our platform. "In this splendid organic law we have carried out in perfect good faith every pledge made by us to the people .of the state, and have drawn a constitution which not only protects the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of the citizens, but a constitution that takes the most advanced ground of any organic law in existence f.o,r the protection of the property rights of the people against the stealthy hand of ingenious modern monopoly. "We believe that as soon as possible and practicable the lands held by the state for educational purpnses should be sold upon term~ that shall be absolutely fair to tre people of the state, preserving the preference rights to the lessees, guaranteed by the enabling act, to the end that such lands should become taxable and be made more valuable and productive by the actual owner thereof. ""Ve believe that the funds derived from the sale of such lands should be faithfully preserved and invested as provided by the consti tu tion. "Wp believe that the present state scLoo·ls should be maintained, and that other necessary schools and state institutions should be established equitably throughout the state. "We favor the purchase of the segregated coal and asphalt lands at a fair price to be agreed upon between the state authorities and the Choctaw and Chickasaw governments, subject to approval by a vote of the people ,of tLis state, before the contract of purchase shall become effective. "We favor the fullest development of such lands in the interest of the schools and charitable institutions and the production of cheap fuel for the people of this state. "We favor the immediate sale of the surface of such segregated coal and asphalt lands in small tracts to actual settlers. 356 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

"vVe strongly 'oppose the passing of the timber land and other natural resources of this state into the hands of tile great private monopolies. . "We believe the people of this sovereign state should have the full measure of liberty enjoyed by citizens of other sovereign states. ",eve believe that the various federal bureaus established in this state should be immediately terminated and that the basis of this bureau government. the restrictions on the sale and lease of land of our citizens should be removed summarily, except as to homesteads of full-bloods; and we favor the immediate settlement of all tribal affairs and the immediate distribution of all tribal funds. wWe believe that the estates of those mentally incompetent, or whatsoeyer race, should be protected by our state pro,bate courts. We will take care of our own defectives of whatever race or color, ami will not rely upon the federal government to discharge this proper function of our own state. "Vife believe that it is of the greatest impo,rtance to the develop ment of our new state, to give perfect safety and assurance to invested capital, and that where complete security is afforded, capital will gladly seek investment at the lowest rates of interest. "We draw a broad line of distinction between capital investpd in honest enterprises and predatory capital engaged in conspiracy against the proceeds of labor of the American people. \'/e oppose those crafty corporations wt ich artfully contrive to destroy cOTP1)et i tion and thus fix arbitrary prices on the necessities of life and on those things which are prodnced by our own people. ,Ve do not intend to encourage predatory capital in this state. vVe do intend to protect our people in the proceeds of their honest labor. ,Ve favor especial care for the protection of the rights and interests of the laboring people, such as the farmers, the miners, the artisan, 'the small tradesman and the women and children of this state. ",eve favor the speedy deyelopment of all our natural resources and especially of our oil and gas region. "We favor the development of every form of manufacture, for which our natural resources so well qualify the state. "We pledge the passage of a road law that will enahle the people in each county to proyide for themselves a good system of roads. "We recognize the education of the people as absolutely essential to the development of the state, and to the continuance ,of supremacy of the democratic party. ,Ve pledge the party to vigorously promote in every reasonable way onr public school system, so that tl:e state shall sl and in the front rank in the educational column. "We pledge the people o,f this state an economical and faithful administration of its affairs, and that the state taxes shall be as low as possible for the conduct of a state government properly administered. "\Ve approve the resolutions of the constitutional convention ot March 1, 1907, pledging the enactment of laws at the earliest possible date during the first session of the first legislatur!) providing for sep arate coaches or accommodations and waiting roms for tre negro race. vVe pledge in like manner to carry into effect the vrovisions in the constitution for sevarate schools for the negro race. "The question of prohibition has been removed from partisan poll tics and has been left to a vote of the people in accordance with the principles of the referendum. "In the constitution whicb we submit we call attention to the important fact that we have faithfully carried out every pledge made to the people in the last campaign. ELECTIONS AND PLA TFORlVIS 357

"IVe unreservedly endorse the action of the democratic majority in its faithful compliance in drawing the constitution in accordance with oar pledges to the people. and we pledge that the democratic party, if entrusted with power in administration .of the state govern ment, will faithfully enforce, execute and carry into effect every prin ciple of said constitution as adopted by the people and a strict enforce ment of every law enacted by the people or legislature of this state. "We hereby express our allegiance to the great principles of gov ernment, advocated by the national democratic party, up,on which we believe the future welfare of nis republic must depend. "IVe reaffirm our allegiance to that greatest living exponent of democratic principles, IVil!iam Jennings Bryan, and endorse him for our presidential nominee in 1908. . "IVe emphatically demand the reasonable and proper control of transportation and transmission companies and the supervIsIOn and control of·all enterprises engaged in interstate commerce.

REPUBLICAN PARTY (Adopted at Tulsa, August 2, 1907.)

"1. The republicans of the new state of Oklahoma in convention assembled, mindful of their responsibilities, but conscious of their strength, approach their new duties without a fear and gladly wel come the work of the pending contest. Inspired by the illustrious history of their party for the past half century, from- Fremont, the intrepid pathfinder, to Roosevelt, the terror of the trusts, they are ready to do tJ::teir part in upholding the invincible principles of repub licanism. The party has achieved its wonderful success because it has been right and in harmony with the needs, hopes and aspirations of humanity. Led by Lincoln, the great emancipator, by Grant, the unconquerable, and by the sainted McKinley, the foremost champion of protection to American labor, the party has placed U!lon our mighty nation the peerless stamp of primacy among the nations of the earth. "2. There is confided to the new state the dec tiny of two million intelligent, deserving people, for weal or woe. It is the duty of republicanism to see that the beneficent principles and policies which have made our nation great, shall be put into operation in the new state. "3. Proud of the history and achievements of the party of pro tection and prosperity, of expansion and enlighitenment, of loyalty and of patriotism, of sound policies and of sound dollars; the party that upholds the principles of human rights and personal liberty, of local self-government and of equal rights to all persons regardless of race, creed, color, or locality; the party of industrial development and provides profitable employment for labor and remunerative in vestment for capital; the party that recognizes the supremacy of the national government and enforces obedience to law, the party that has throttled the trusts and dismantled monopolies, and animated by its laudable deeds and inspired by its brilliant future, the republican party of young Oklahoma springs joyously to its opportunities and fearlessly takes its place in the advancing battle line for .human rights and human progress, determined that the favored star of Oklahoma shall give added luster to the constellation of states. "4. The true test of a party's worth is its record, not its promise, but performances; not pledges, but deeds. With confidence in the sober, discriminate judgment of the people, republicans refer to the work of the last congress as proof of their statesmanship and a just and ample recognition of the public needs. The railroad rate and anti-pass law, of general benefit to all the people; the employers' liability law. for the benefit of injured laborers; the law limiting the hours of service for employes upon· railroads; the free alcohol law, for industrial purposes; the law prohibiting corporations from COh tributing to political campaigns or for election purposes; the pure food and drug laws and meat inspection requirements, looking to the preser vation of the health of all the people; the service pension act. by which the defenders of our country in army and navy are liberally ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 359 provided for in old age; the laws e!llarging the powers of the inter state commerce commission in the interests of cheaper transportation rates; legislation insuring the speedy completion of the Panama canal, by which we will control the commerce of the Orient and enable our enlarged navy to command our vast coast and numerous harbors upon two great oceans; the law for the final disposition of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes; the appropriations for improvement of waterways and the reclamation of agricultural lands; the national quarantine law, for the prevention of epidemics and protection of life;. the law limiting the classes and character of emigrants; the enabling act, which tenders the coveted boon of statehood to two million people, are in themselves ample proof of the watchful care of the people's, interests by repnblican legislatures. 'By their fruits you shall know them.' "5. \Ve hail with pride the bold and fearless leader, the match less statesman, the patriotic citizen, the loyal American, our honored and respected president, Theodore Roosevelt. He has unflinchingly met every issue in the open and firmly advocated the right. He is tne relentless foe of greed and graft and the trusted friend of honest effort. He has given to combined capital and to organized labor a fair hearing and a square deal. He has compelled trusts and unlawful combinaLons to recognize organized government, observe the law and observe the courts. He has heralded the message of peace to warring nations and has prepared our country for war should any foreign power dare to insult our flag or impose upon an American citizen. By his dauntless vigilance and splendid diplomacy our nation has been made to take a higher place among nations of the world, while by his purity 07 purpose and nobility of character, our citizenship has attained a higher standard of excellence. \Ve approve and commend his public acts and teachings and pledge him a continuance of our loyal and earnest support. "6. A republican preSident, republican congress and republican delegate gave to us the enabling act, under which the people of the twin territories are authorized to form a state government and adopt a constitution which will admit the progressiYe and prosperous com monwealth of Oklahoma into the union of states upon all equal footing with that of every other state. And we denounce the infamous, greed,; partisan spirit which actuated the democratic majority in the consti tutional convention, dominated by the treacherous and slippery boss their present nominee for governor. They conceived in secret, partisan caucus and adopted under tyrannical rule a document which was so hostile to the federal government and its brave defenders and which was so disloyal to pure republican institutions, that after having in their state platform declared it the best constil'1tion, that· they were forced by an outraged public sentiment to reconvene and modify its provisions before submitting it for the action of an intelligent, fair minded people. "After laborious effort they have now submitted an instrument which denies to each citizen equal rights under the law with every other citizen; deprives the minority of their just proportion of repre sentation; unfairly discriminates in favor of one locality against an other; increases the burdens of taxation without compensating benefits discourages industrial and commercial development; lessens the de mand for labor and decreases wages; antagonizes capital and depre ciates investments; repudiates public obligations and destroys public credit, and has already brought a blight upon the fair name of the proposed state. "7. The democratic party of Oklahoma and Indian Territories, by its lack of judgment and statesmanship, its inability to com pre-

• 360 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

hend the needs of the people or to deal with the problems of govern ment, its disregard of the rights of persons and property, its arrogant assumption of virtue without wisdom, as exemplified by the conduct of its representatives in the c"Onstitutional convention, 'has proven its incompetency to control the governmental affairs of a great state, and has forfeited all ciaim to the suffrage of the 'electors of the proposed state. In the adoption of the provisions of the proposed constitution by the exercise of arbitrary and tyrannical power, it trampled upon the cherished rights of local self-government. In the' interest of corrupt townsite promoters and county seat boosters, it wantonly and needlessly butchered county boundaries and obliterated existing municipalities in disregard of the wishes of the inhabitants and over their determined objections. "It created a state government with an army of unnecessary officers at such extravagant salaries that the raising of necessary revenues to meet the required expenses will pauperize the taxpayers and bankrupt the public treasury. "With no regard for economy, or the burdens of taxation, it pro vides for a large number of small counties, many of which do not contain a sufficient amount of taxable property to, at any reasonable rate of taxation, provide sufficient revenues to meet the ordinary current expenses, thus impoverishing the property owners and destroy ing public credit. "It impairs the efficiency of our public school system by provid ing inadequate levies for school revenues, thus shortening the school terms, depriving our children of adequate educational privileges and compelling thousands of trained and experienced teachers to seek more remunerative occupations. "It encourages anarchy and lawlessness by depriving the courts of an inherent power to adequately enforce obedience to their orders for the protection of property and preservation of the lives of the citizens. "It wil! materially increase the burdens of taxation upon taxable real estate and correspondingly reduce farm values. "It authorizes private property to be taken by private individuals for private uses, without the consent of the owner. "By wasting its time in useless partisan caucuses and prolonging its sessions unnecessarily, it has created an unreasonably large in debtedness, in excess of the amount proportioned by congress, which the property owners of the new states are required to assume and pay. "In apportioning representation in the legislature, they, for base, pa~tisan purposes unjustly and grossly discriminated against repub lican localities in favor of democratic localities. "In the creation of courts and judicial districts, they committed the execrable crime of, attempting to make the courts partisan. and subject to political control and created particular districts for special memloers of their own body. "It deprives the governor of the power, in case of insurrection or rebellion, to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, thus inviting hostile conflict between the military and civil branches of the state govern ment should it become necessary to declare martial law in order to preserve the lives and liberties of our citizens. "It is unrepublican and violates the spirit of fairness and equality which characterizes the declaration of independence. "It fails to make provisions for revenue for the maintenance of separate schools, thus either forcing mixed schools, or depriving a portion of our people of educational facilities. "8. The republican party, the special champion of the doctrine of the free ballot and fair count, concedes to ever;y elector the right to cast his ballot as his enlightened judgment and conscience may ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 361 suggest. In the event that this partisan constitution shall become the fundamental law of the state we pledge the republican party of the state to use every means at our command to secure the speedy elimination of its objectionable features and to make it conform to the needs and requirements of the people and the interests of the state. On the other hand, if the judgment of the voters of this state, expresEed at the polls, shall be against this proposed constitution, or if it shall be disapproved by President Roosevelt, we assure the people that republicans of the two territories and of the nation will exercise their power to have the coming congress at its first session, pass a new enabling act, at the earliest date possible during said session, under which a constitution and state government may be formed free from partisan bais and fair alike to all persons, interests and localities. "9. The democratic majority in the constitutional convention, by reason of their timidity and cowardice, have failed to submit to the people a Lnished document and adjourn after three separate attempts covering a period of over eight months, when the work should have been completed in sixty days. And all this at an enormous expense. ThEY have again taken a recess until the day previous to the election upon the constitution. Unwilling to risk their work to the discriminating judgment of an intelligent public they claim the right to reconvene and make further amendments. Such trifling with the rights and eonfidence of a long-suffering public is a menace to honest government. The people demand that if more changes are to be made they reconvene at once, complete the instrument, file it and adjourn sine die, that the people may act intelligently upon what is bEfore them with no possibility of having a constitution to vote upon differ· ent from the one on which the election is called. "10. The safety of a republican form of government depends upon the intelligence and patriotism of citizenship. Contentment makes patriots. The great laboring classes are the steel framework of the republic. The better they are prepared for the duties of citizenship the stronger and more permanent the structure. We favor the enact m.ent of such laws as will give just recognition to organized labor, the fullest security to individual effort, minimize t11e hours of labor and insure the highest degree of safety in places where laborers are required to work. IVe believe in the principles of arbitration, and that differences between employers and employes should be adjusted by arbitration whenever possible. The employment of children of tender years in mines or factories is an evil heritage to posterity and would be a disgrace to the state; and we demand such laws as will effectually prohibit such employment. "11. IVe approve the highly intelligent and competent administra tion of territorial affairs by Governor Frank Frantz. In his just and equitable handling of school land problems, his successful efforts in bringing about cheaper transportation rates for both producers and consumers in Oklahoma, his safe and economic management of the fiscal affairs of Oklahoma, his impartial and judicious enforce ment of the laws, he has earned and commands the respect and entire confidence of the people. His official experience, his knowledge of the conditions and requirements of the coming state, his ability to deal fairly with men of all races and classes, his integrity of character and stubborn determination to givlO to every person and interest a square deal, peculiarly equip and qualify him for the first governor of the State of Oklahoma; and we confidently commend Honorable Frank Frantz, the gallant soldier, the popular governor, the loyal Oklahoman. to the electors of the new state for its fir~t governor: and we invite all lovers of honesty, justice and right to join with us in securing his election. 362 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

"12. '.Ve are thoroughly in favor of the American and republican policy of adequate protection to our labor and industries. ViTe believe that the unprecedented prosperity which we have enjoyed for the past' decade is due to the splendid home market built up and main tained by our protective tariffs in general and tbe Dingley law in particular, giving a full measure of employment, high wages and equi- 1 a hIe prices to all. We have confidence in our chosen national legis lators and insist that when revision of the tariff is made it shall be made by republicans and protectionists, without prejudice to any sec tion, any class or any industry. "13. The republican party is the anti-trust party. All legislation in the national congress for the regulation and control of trusts and combines operating in restraint of trade or commerce has been enacted by the republican party. The work of the last congress and the de termined efforts of President Roosevelt have proven to the people that the republican is the only party to be depended upon in destroying trusts and monopolies. The paper trust has been wiped out, the beef trust has been made to respect the rights of the people, the iron pipe trust, the railroad freight traffic trust, the drug trust, tobacco trust, lumber trust, wire trust, match trust, the Standard Oil, have all been upon the rack and will be made to cease their extortions. Ti. e repub lican party will protect the people against trusts and unlawful combi nations iIi restraint of trade. The democratic party, by its failure to define and prohibit trusts and monepolies in the proposed constitu tion of Oklahoma, has shown its snbserviency to corporation interests and its incapacity to deal with great political problems. "14. The producers and consumers of shipped products in the twin territories have for years been ("ompelled to pay exhorbitant transportation charges, and have been fllrniRhing the funds for divi dends to corporation stockholders, wrile supplied with inadequate and inferior facilities. '.Vith the coming of statehood, we demand a square deal. '.Vith no reckless hostility to corporate interests or investments, we favor the enactment and enforcement of such legislation as will compel all railway, express and transportation companies doing: busi ness within the state of Oklahoma to carry the freight and passfmger traffic within the slate at such reasonable rates as will be just to the shipper and at the same time provide a fair return upon the actnal investment of capital in such company. We demand that the man who pays the freight in Oklahoma shall be put upon an equal footing with the same class of persons in other states. "15. A magnificent fund has been created from the sa Ie of pllblic lands, to be used to provide means for the storage of water and the irrigation of arid lands. A large portion of this fund arose from the sale of lands in Oklahoma. In the past the people of Oklahoma have refused to admit that any portion of treir territory i"s within the arid belt, but as there is a considerable area of agricultural lands in the state which can be made more productive by irrigation. and a larg-e body of rich bottom lands which are too wet for cultivation, we favor snch modification of the federal laws as will permit Oklahoma's share of this fund to be used within the sta,te for either reclamation of arid or wet lands by drainage or irrigation, as may be found the most practicable. "16. Individual ownership of the soil and the establisrment of permanent homes has ever been one of the strongest incentives to intellectual and industrial development. It strengthens the family ties, inspires love of home and loyalty to country. The republican party, proud of its record in adopting the generous provisions of the homestead and free home law, whereby millions of happy and pros per.ous homes have been provided for the tillers of the s.oil, and loyal to its principles, declares its opposition to any system which fosters ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 363 a c.ondition of tenantry and withholds a vast area of our domain from the burdens of taxation; and we favor the sale by the first legislature of the public lands donated to the state, upon long time and easy, pay ments, at a reasonable rate of interest upon deferred payments, with preference rights to the lessee, under such safeguards as will prevent the acquisition of these lands by speculators; and we demand that the proceeds realized from the sale of school and indemnity lands shall be held inviolate as a permanent trust fund for the benefit of our schools, the principle never to be diminished, and we demand the en actment of such laws for the control and safe investment of the per manent school fund as will prohibH the accumulation of large sums in the treasury. We favor the loaning of such funds upon the im proved agricultural lands in the state of Oklahoma to actual residents up·on the lands, on long time and such reasonable rates of interest as will insure its constant investment. "17. We demand tte removal of all restrictions upon the aliena tion of lands belonging to Indians. \Ve favor the enactment of such laws by congress as will give to each member of the Indian tribes in this state, all the rights and privileges of other American citizens, in cluding the right to control, sell, lease, mortgage, or devise the lands allotted to him, the same as white persons under similar conditions: except that the homestead of full bloods shall be inalienable, as now provided by law, and we request our members in congress to urge such immediate legislation. "18. TIle inception of all traffic is over the public roads. The farmers and land owners are entitled to assistance in improvin~ and making them good. Federal and state aid should be extended for their improvement. Post roads for rural mail, and tl,e highways of the people should be placed and maintained in condition commensu rate with' the greatness of ,our nation and state. We favor the enact ment ,of the most liberal laws to secure this result. "19. Nature has endowed the new state most bountifully. We have a supply of oil an dgas sufficient to supply all Dllr needs for years to come. Profiting by the experience ,of others, we favor the enact ment of sllch laws as will foster and protect the oil and gas industry, controlling their consumption and preventing waste. "20. The great natural waterways are the peDple's highways, and their improvement and use cheapens transportation and increases the market prices of agricultural produ.cts and other commodities. We favor the appropriation by congress of such liberal S'lmR fDr the im provement of our rivers as will maintain them in navigable conclition at all timeR to the highflst points pr8e1icablfl. "21. The rflpublicans of the combined territorieR desire to express to Hon. Bird S. McGuire their hearty appreciation of his able and valu able work in the interests of statehood and in securing the passage ,of the enabling act. His work in congress as a delegate has been in the interests ,of the people of the entire state, without discrimination. We congratulate the republicans of the First cDngressional district in making him their nominee. He has justly earned the reward of a seat in congress from the new state, and as an evidence of our gratitude and appreciation we tender him our united and enthusiastic support. "22. ,\Ve heartily endorse the nomination of GovernDr T. B. Fer guson for congress in the Second district. His progressive and honest administratiDn as governor of Oklahoma proves his fitness as a public official. He merits the election we feel the people will accord him by a large majority. "23. We pledge the people in the big pasture, who are the pur chasers of the land therein frDm the government, that its representa tives in congress will use every endeavor to procure an extension of one year, to make their payments mature in 1908. 364 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

"24. We favor the immediate payment by the United States gov ernment to tce Choctaw-Chickasaw citizens for their improvement on segregated coal and asphalt lands, as provided by the treaty or agree ment ratified on September 25, 1902. "25. VYe favor the passage of laws by the next session of con gress, providing for the immediate sale of all segregated coal and asphaltum lands and the per capita payment to the members of the nations owning such lands, of the money received from such sales. ""Ve favor the immediate settlement of all Indian claims and the immediate payment to the Indians of all claims and invested funds, by congress. "With full appreciation of past achievements of the republican party so ably perf,ormed, our present organization and leaderstip pre eminent, we submit the above declaration of our future usefulness and work, and go before the people pledged to their performance and in vite the co-operation of all good citizens, regardless of past political affiliations."

DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM 1910.

"On ths the threshold of the third state campaign since entrusted with power, the democratic party of Oklahoma greets the citizenship of the state and nation, exultant in the trumphant success of its ad v?,nced principles of modern government, and progressive statesman ship, Vndismayed by the aspersions and assaults of the represent!"! ti\"es of special interests at home and abroad, it greets the people of the state and nation with its constitution, its legislation and its C'lll didates. Proud and triumphant over every opposition and vigorouil in its patriotic purposes it again invites the co-operation of all 10"er3 of good government. ",Vie endorse our democratic senators and representati,-es in the Congress of the United States, and in view of the pending in vestiga tion of Indian affairs we express our con tinned confidence in tJ- e hOllor and integrity of Senator Gore and commend his courageous 51 and in the interest of fair dealing for the Indians and for honesty in the government. Org.3nic Law.

"After a prolonged period of misrule, the hopeless peoph~ of the two territories availed themselves of the earliest opportuu;ty to he relieved of the burdens under which they traveled, and the intelligence of the state confidently entrusted to our party the duty o·f formulating its organic law, and vitalizing it b1 appropriate legislation. The marked success achieved has been due to tre active co-operation and sympathy of the honest people of all parties, and in spite of and OV'lr the malignant slander of a venal organization and press representing in its purpose the destruction of the good achieved. ,\Ve deplore the injury, real or seeming, this organization has done the business and other interests of the state, and as evidence of its hypocrisy, point to the fact that while condemning the constitution, it has never assaulted it by any proposed amendment. ,Ve congratulate the citizenship of the state in the fact that every pledge made has been fulfilled, every duty assumed met, and that though charged with the responsibility of fo.ur great legislative assemblies, dealing with plenary power with th€ great moneyed interests of the state and nation, no agency has yet had the temerity to charge anyone of them or any member ~hereor with dishonesty, bribery or graft.

Faith in Party. "We reaffirm our faith in and adherence to the fundamental prin ciples of the democratic party as proclaimed by the founders of the party and adhered to by all lovers of g,ood government. "We endorse the wise leadership of Gov. C. N. Haskell, the admin istration of public affairs in this state by the democratic party, in the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, as able and economical. 366 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

"No party in the history of the country is capable of showing a record of achievement which surpasses the one made by the democracy of this state since statehood. Every pledge made to the people has been fully redeemed. In substantiation of this statement we point with pride to the fact that among the pledges made to He people in our previous platform may be mentioned the separation of the races in schools and in traveling, improved revenue laws, sale of part of the public building lands, banking legislation, fee and salary legislation, good roads legislation, laws. which preserve the natural gas of our state, and encourage the development of the oil industry and protect the independent producer, and likewise legislation promotive of the interests of th~ agricultural, labor and business interests. Everyone ot these demands have been enacted into law, and the democracy of the state stands pledged for the continuance of these policies. "We submit, therefore, that the democracy of this state is entitled to the continued confidence of its citizenship because it has fully kept faith with them.

Labor.

"The man who labors is entitled to the first and highest considera tion. Without labor there is no progress and the democratic party of this state has demonstrated that it can be depended upon to conserve the rights of Oklahoma's toilers. Enumeration of its beneficient laws on the subject is unnecessary; in both constitution and statute they are recognized as the most advanced of any state in the nation; we pledge a continuation of the righteous policy prodUCing them, and in keeping therewith approve the precedent act hy Oregon and Illinois limiting the hours of labor for women to a maximum work day of ten flours in occupations other than domestic and agriculture.

Agriculture.

"No single interest of our state stands higher in importance than that of agriculture. And we piedge the democratic party to a continu ance of the advanced policies which have marked its history to thIs time. "We favor the Oklahoma agricultural and industrial system of education; the continuation of all the laws now in force governing said system; the preservation of the present powers of the board of agriculture and method of electing the same, and a sufficient appropri ation to enable a continuance of tte wholesome work of said board.

Banking Law.

"We favor the representation of the state banks on the state bank ing board and the publication of quarterly statements of the guaranty fund and the deposit of guaranty fund in the contributing banks on the same conditions that all other state deposits are made in the state banks. "As pledged in the state constitution, our state legislature has provided a banking law, the results nf which in actual operation show, for the period of two and one-half years that it has been in operation, that no state bank failure has ever embarrassed business in the state or community; that no depositor has ever lost a single dollar, or even failed to receive his money upon demand; that the bank deposits -of our state banks have grown from eighteen millibn dollars to forty-five million dollars; that the burden upon the banks of furnishing the fund ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 367

for the protection to the people tas been many times repaid by in creased volume ,of business, and that the practical operation of our banking system has challenged the admiration of the business world.

Usury.

"We favor an effective usury law, with penalties to insure a proper enforcement of the same.

State and School Land and School Funds.

"We believe that as soon as possible and practical the lands held by the state for educational purposes should be sold upon termss that shall be absolutely fair to the people of this state, preserving the pref erence right to the lessees, guaranteed by the enabling act, to the end that such lands should become taxable and be made more valuable and productive by the actual owner thereof. "That anything that adds to the value of said land and costs time, labor ,o,r money, shall be classed as an improvement. "Improvements on said land shall be appraised at such sum as they add to the value of the land for the purpose of sale. "In drafting the constitution of the State of Oklahoma, the demo cratic party forever guaranteed protection to the school lands and • school funds of the state, and unlike a multitude of older states, the principal of this' fund will forever remain sacred and secure from any loss or depletion. "It provides that the principal sum shall never be diminished; and in the investment of the permanent school fund, we point with pride to the fact that the agriculural interests of our state, the principal industry upon which the prosperity and comfort of Oklahoma depends. should have the first right to use these public moneys upon good farm security, and at a fair rate of interest. "The result of this policy has been to reduce the rate of interest on farm mortgage loans throughout the state by reason of the state competition with farm mortgage companies. "The management of the school land leasing department >tssumed by the democratic administration from the territorial comlition of negligence, favoritism and mismanagement, has in the brief veriod of state government, grown in efficiency to where complete records of the location, character, description and values of these lands are a matter of record, and where all lessees are upon the same basis without regard to political favorites, and where today the school child ren of Oklahoma are receiving from these lands rents more than 60 per cent net money annually in excess of the best year of territorial government.

Public Institutions.

"Oklahoma Territory has followed the policy of failing to provide any institutions for the insane, deaf, dumb, blind, orphans or the state convicts, except by contract with other states, or private institutions within the state conducted by political favorites of members of the dominating official family at an extortionate rate. "A notable instance is to be the keeping of the insane at a private instutition at Norman, at such extravagant rates that the stock owner ship of that institution was considered a special privilege to the fa vored few of the dominating clique. "The prisoners of the territory were farmed out to a neighboring state at an extravagant rate, producing enormous profits to that state, 368 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK and a corresponding loss to the taxpayers of Oklahoma. The>

Schools. "Lavishness in education is economy. The democratic party has ever been the friend of efficient public schools, realizing that an educated citizenship insures the perpetnity pf free government. ,Ve take pride in the educational system in operation in this state, and pledge ourselves to its further development and improvement. To this end we favor a law that will provide a school fund. raised by the state, sufficient, when added to the interest on our invested school fund and rentals on school lands, to provide not less than five months free school in each district in the state. "We also favor making provision for the establishment of graded consolidated schools, to the end that children liYing in the country districts may receive the benefits of a high school education in com munities where they live.

Educational Institutions. "The democratic party, in providing institutions of higher educa tion, has has dealt justly with the eastern half of the state in securing for it the necessary industrial and preparatory schools necessary to provide for that part of the new state, and in providing district agri cultural and mechanical colleges throughout the entire state. "The democracy is proud of the educational progress made and pledges its continued support to encourage all of these institutions, and calls upon our adversaries to 'point out which one of the institu tions of this state, created by the democratic party, which cares for and guards the unfortunate or educates our youth, they would strike down, abandon or cripple if they were placed in control of this state government. Law Enforceml)nt. "The democratic party has always stood for a strict and vigorous enforcement of all laws and pledges its representatives to a continua tion of that policy. Election Laws. "The democratic party of Oklahoma stands for a fair primary and general election law, with all boards to be bi-partisan and the members of the same to receive endorsement of the respectiv.e parties pre requisite to appointment. Good Roads. "'\Ve call attehtion to the laws heretofore passed providing for the building of good roads, and we promise to pursue the policy thus inaugurated. Constitution. "''''e are proud of the constitution which our party has given to the people and obligate ourselves to maintain it in its integrity. The ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 369

~nforcement of its provisions should be committed to its friends who have steadfastly upheld and defended it and not surrendered into the lIiI;a,nds of its enemies who have done everything possible to discredit it and render it inoperative.

Corporations. "'Ve recognize the fact that corporations are absolutely essential to the proper growth and development of the state, and laws should be so fashioned and administered as to encourage legitimate corporationi' to do business here. We realize, however, that corporations, like individuals, are susceptible of division into two classes, the good and the bad. All corporations honestly conducting their business and faithfully observing our laws we welcome into our state and pledge to them the protection of our laws, but those who violate our statutes win find in the democratic party an invincible enemy and an uncon· querable foe. Anti·Trust Legislation. "The laws of Oklahoma on this subject speak for themselves. Where laws of similar title in the nation and in many states are but an ineffective theory, the anti·trust laws of Oklahoma have proven a. rea.lity. "We note the domestication in Oklahoma of the pipe line com· panies, and the successful prosecution of trusts and monopolies; and we point to the fact that while the rights of the people are being protected, and embarrassing obstacles incident to the first few years of law enforcement being removed, yet none of our laws have proven to be unjust or unreasonable from the standpoint of the great legitimate enterprises, and Oklahoma is rapidly approaching the realization of the spirit of a state constitution which says that the weak and the strong, the rich and the poor, the laborer and the capitalist shall each have equal protection under the laws. "The democratic policy in Oklahoma has declared the right of every element of our citizenship to be heard with patient consideration by the representatives of all classes, and as a result of this policy, the agricultural classes and the laboring classes in general In Okla· homa have had more to do with the formulating the constitution and the laws of our state than in any other constitution or code of laws ever written, and yet we challenge our adversaries to point to any one of the numerous provisions for the protection and benefit of the toiling masses that they would repeal if given the power so to do.

Taxation. "As the party of strict economy the democratic party advocates the lowest t!tx rate possible consistent with good and efficient gov·. ernment. We believe that taxation should be just, equal and ;Illiform. "In this connection we pOint to the fact that under form or repub· lican rule the special privilege and franchise class paid only eight per cent of the expenses of the territory, while the taxpayers paid ninety·two percent, while under present democratic rule the speCial privilege and franchise class pay practically seventy·five percent of all expenses of the state government and the taxpayers pay only twenty·five per cent. Indians. "Referring to our citizenship of Indian descent, we view with regret the deplorable condition resulting from misgovernment through Sig.26 370 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

the interior department of the United States. It is a record of pledges given the Indian nations by the federal government for a valuable consideration and thereafter recklessly and ruthlessly ignored and trampled under foot. It is the administration of affairs at long range, in most instances through deputies, clerks and subordinates, whose purposes have been to enlarge and prolong their selfish opportunities at the expense of and to the. great embarrassment of our Indian citi zens, and out of this has grown a constant drain upon the property of the Indian and a constant embarrassment to his exercise of personal control of his property and his person. The policy of this character of government has been to magnify the necessity of its importance and to live upon the sustenance of our people. The varying and constantly changing policies and rules have involved the whole Indian citizen ship and their property iIi a chaotic condition destructive to the In dian's rights and his property. The United tSates government in its greatness in a spirit of justice should immediately right its wrongful policy, place the administration of l.aws in the hands of'those unselfish enough to faithfully administer that great trust, and where the United States government has violruted its contracts with our Indian citizen justice demands that full compensation be made to every such Indian for every dollar of loss and needless expense that has been imposed by the violation of sllch governmental pledges and obligations. There fore, we favor a speedy settlement of all Oklahoma Indian matters; the sale of all Indian tribal property; the payment to the Indians of all funds belonging to them, free from any charge or cost to the Indians as granted them by treaty, and we are opposed to the reopen ing the rolls, whether by the McOuire bill or otherwise, al? the same would disturb the business interests throughout the state and would do more harm than good; and we urge our democratic senators and representatives in congress to exercise every honorable means to carry out this policy; and we favor the preservation of the property rights of all Indian tribes and the protection of the minor India. children from any and all classes of dishonest and unscrupuioul grafters. Will of People Prevail. "The democratic party declares that whenever any amendment to the constitution or act initiated by the people is pending for the .consideration of the people, and for their adoption or rejection, that 'it is not the privilege of any political party to seek to influence such ·election by party control or dlrelltion, and, therefore,it declares call such measures, to-wit: Prohibition, woman's suffrage and aU meas ures initiate by the people, to be free from political dictation and sub jection to the uninfluenced and unprejudiced choice of every voter .·of the state. Progress and Prosperity. "Contrary to the prophecies and false representations of a sub ·sidized press at home and abroad, and a corrupt organization mls -representing honorable and honest republicans within our· state, _Okla homa people can truthfully point with pride to a progressive govern ment that has placed us among the leading states of the union, to a financial credit without a parallel and to development that has added thirty per cent to our manufacturing industries, and multiplied the commerce of our state over fourfold within the short space of lesa than three years. State Credit. The state of Oklahoma points' with pride to the fact that it is the only new state in half a century' which has gone through the first two ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 371

Natic.lal Legislation.

"Life tenure of public Loti' ~e being born of despotic and irrespon sive power, we therefore favor that the term of federal office be limited to a reasonable term of years. Be it further resolved, that we favor an act of congress that will strip all inferior federal courts of all jurisdiction except in cases involving the constitution, laws and treaties of the United States and that in all cases where the state is a party or- the laws of a state are involved no federal courts shall have jurisdiction except the supreme court of the United States agreeable to the constitution of the United tSates. "We favor the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people. . "We favor an income and an inheritance tax. I "We favor a revision of the rules of the house of representatives so that the power·to control and enact legislation shall be taken from the speaker and restored to the members. "We are opposed to the interference by federal authorities with the organizations of laboring men and farmers. "We favor a law which will prevent the federal courts from annulling any state law until the same has been acted upon by the highest tribunal of the state. "We oppose a ship subsidy and a central bank. "We favor the physical valuation of all railroads. "We demand that an eight-hour law be enforced upon all govern ment works. "We favor a federal law requiring a trial by jury in all cases of indirect contempt. . "We favor a law prohibiting gambling on stock exchanges and the boards of trade in stocks, bonds, and farm products. . "We favor an honest revision of the tariff by reducing the duties to revenue basis, so as to raise the greatest amount of revenue with the least burden of taxation upon the masses of the American people, and so adjusting the rates of duty as to deal. fairly with both producer and consumer with regard to the needs of the government. "We favor making the tariff as high as possible upon the luxuries of life and as low as possible upon the necessities. "We favor placing lumber, leather-goods, farm machinery, house hold tools and all trust-made goods upon the free list. "We favor the extension of the adoption of the fellow servant rule to all others engaged in hazardous and dangerous pursuits besides those already exempt from that rule iIi this state." "With the laudable achievements mentioned in the foregoing plat form accomplished with honesty of purpose animating us, with the confidence of a citizenship which realizes the burdens carried and difficulties met, the democracy submits its cause for judgment. Cov ering a continuance of the good will, confidence and esteem of onr fellow citizen.s of all parties, and firm in the determination of securing it, we invite and welcome their co-operation in a continuance of a reign of law where the rights of all citizens are protected and con served with equal and exact impartiality. .. 372 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

OKLAHOMA REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM

(Adopted at Guthrie, June 16, 1910.)

"The republicans of Oklahoma, assembled in delegate convention at Guthrie on June 16, 1910, affirmed their loyal adherence to the prin· ciples of their party as expressed in the National platform and exem· plified in the administrative acts of a republican president and the laws enacted by a republican congress. "W'e believe that President Wm. H. Taft, in his official acts and: recommendations, is faithfully and successfully carrying out the pledges and policies set forth in the declaration of principles upon which he was elected, and we take pleasure in endorsing his administration of National affairs and in giving him assurance of the continued united support of the republican party of Oklahoma. The rugged honesty of Mr. Taft, his frankness with the public, and his calm, judicial tempera ment are making an administration which will stand ,out for great public good, and we. believe will have the universal approval of the American people.

Stand by Congress. "We endorse the record of the present congress and believe, with President Taft, that the Payne tariff is the best tariff law ever enacted because it reduces the tax on necessities and increases it on luxuries. The republican policy of a protective tariff has always brought pros perity to the farmer and manufacturer and employment to the wage earner. The maximum and minimum features of tre present law have opened the markets of the entire civilized world to the products of American industry.

Has Kept Faith. "As proof that the republican party has kept faith with the people in the fulfillment of pledges. we point to the railroad bill, the postal savings bank bill, the McCall bill providing for the publicity of cam paign expenses, the appr,opriation for the Taft tariff commission-all of which measures will be compJ.eted by the present session of congress. "We extend a hearty welcome home to our former President Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, and commend the movement to make his welcome a national demonstration.

Stands for Labor.

"The republican party has stood for the farmer and the laborer as well as for all clases. The present high prices of the products of the farm are the direct result of the beneficient policies put into effect by the republican party. On the soil depends the prosperity of our country. When the tillers of the soil are prosperous everybody pros- ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 373 pel'S; then all labor receives its just reward, and plenty and happinesll are found among all the people.

Enacted Anti-Trust Laws. "The republican party is the original anti-trust party. It has en acted laws and created the Interstate Commerce Commission for the regulation of rates of transportation and the prevention of combina tions of capital inimical to the interests of the public. By the enforce ment of these provisions a number of t1.e great trusts have been put out of business and we have confidence that President Taft, if given proper support, will, through the measures adopted by a republican congress, mete out adequate punishment to all unlawful combinations and trusts. Improvement of Waterways. "We recommend the policy of improvement of the inland water ways and urge that the Arkansas river be included in the plans of the utilization of these natural waterways. Irrigation, Drainage and Good Roads. "We endorse the national policy of reclamation of agricultural lands, and believe it should be so extended as to include drainage as well as irrigation. We approve the efforts to secure federal aid in the building of good roads. Pensions. "We note with patriotic pride that our country is more liberal in the caring for its defenders than any nation on earth, as evidenced by the liberal pension policy pursued in the past, which we endorse. Encourage Rural Delivery. "We regard the republican policy of rural delivery of mail as one of the greatest boons to the farmer, and the rural mail carrier is his most valued friend. The high price of farm products, which has brought increased prosperity to the farmers, has increased the expense of maintaining the rural ('2rriers' equipment. We therefore favor an adequate allowance in addition to the carriers' salaries, for the meet ing of this expense. Arraigns State Administration. "We charge that the history of the present democratic state admin istration is a history of extravagance, incompetency and malfeasance in office. To prove this let the following facts be submitted to the voters of Oklahoma: Debt. "'Democracy has been in charge of the state less than three years, and in spite of the fact that the constitution prohibits the debt from ever exceeding $400,000, they have issued bonds in the sum of $1,460,- 000, in addition to outstanding warrant indebtedness in excess of $2,000,000 and have mortgaged the public building lands for $2,000,000 more, while the debt is steadily increasing. Taxes. "They have collected $3,079,968.89 in direct taxes from the people which, according to their own ,official statements, has been less than half of the expense of carrying on the state government. 3H OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

"They have already doubled taxes and enacted laws which will further increase the bUrden of taxation; have levied so many kinds of taxes that no man knows when the sheriff will appear with a tax war rant confiscating his property.

Extravagance. "They called a speciill session of the legislature for the sole pur Pose of enacting laws to disfranchise citizens of the state at a cost of $11&,948.00 to the taxpayers and the appropriations of $1,247,746.00 made at this session, added to those made at the two previous sessions, aggregate $10,237,924.00 of the taxpayers' money.

Bank Fund Looted_ "They have looted the bank guaranty fund and manipulated the same for political and private· gain, refusing even their own state ac countant access to the books, and have failed and .refused to prosecute the guilty embezzlers of funds and those who have made false entries in bank books. . "They have paid large sums of money iilegally to democratic state officials in excess of their salaries. Funds Misappropriated. "They have kept the public fUnds of the state in banks outside of the state in violation of law and good public policy, and have deposited the same in amounts in excess of the limit of the law in banks within the state. "They have expended many thousands of dollars illegally for the hiring of private attorneys, detectives, statistical agents, and others. "They have violated the spirit and intent of the initiative and refer endum by enacting arid amending laws thereto so as to make them a fa.rce. Damaged Educational I nstitutions_ "They have prostituted the educational institutions of the state into political machines, and inaugurated therein an administration of mismanagement and extravagance until the people of the state no longer have confidence in them, and are sending their son,s.and daugh ters to outside institutions of learning. Violated Constitution. "They have violated the terms of the constitution repeatedly, open ly and defiantly. Mismanaged Land Office. "They have inaugurated a system of mismanagement, extrava gance and incompetency in the Public Land Department, using the sacI'ed.school funds of the state in violation of law, to hire an army of useless employees. They have olltraged the rights of the lessees in every way possible, haraSSing them by exorbitant rentals and unfair appraisement of improvements, denying them hearings and refusing to abide by even their own rules. Defied the People. "They have continued the liquor dispensary system after the peo ple have declared agaiilst it; and mismanaged the same so as to in crease the burden of taxation and bring disgrace upon the state. ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 375

I njured Credit. "They have brought reproach upon the fair name of Oklahoma at home and abroad, driven capital and immigration from the- state, in· jured -.our credit so that private and public securities are a drug on the market. . "They have manipulated the $5,000,000 school fund to further their personal interests; have failed and refused to make any public report accounting for the same, and have withheld funds from distribution among the school districts of the state.

I nteTfered With Cou rts.

"They have interfered with the work of the courts in order to thwart justice and stopped the proceedings of grand juries in order to save democratic officials from prosecution for crimes committed. "They have failed and refused to make proper public reports, or t() allow the public to have access to their records.

Tricked the Farmers.

"By political manipulation and chicanery they have taken the Board of Agriculture out of the hands of. the farmers of the state and used it for political purposes.

Would Steal Election. "They have enacted election laws which seek to prevent a free and untrammelled ballot and a fair count, denying tte minority repre· sentation upon election boards. and affording every opportunity to manipulate the count and defeat the will of the people. "They are attempting to set up a test of snffrage for the ne~ro which they dare not submit to themselves.

Harass the People. "They have created a multitude of new offices and sent over the .tate swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their sub· stance, and are continuously and illegally paying out in addition large sums of money to personal and political henchmen for services reno dered against the best interests of the state and the taxpayers. "These are but a few of the acts of incompetence, extravagance, mismanagement, bad faith, and violation of promise and pledge for which the democratic administration of Oklahoma stands indicted be· fore the people.

Governor Condemned.

"We desire to specifically condemn an executive as insincere, un· safe and dishonest who will squander public funds regardless of the . purpose for which they are appropriated; condemn a legislature as puerile which will not resent it, and endorse the action of the repub· Iican minority which brought attention to their profligate practices by forcing investigation thereof, and making a recora of the fact that this same executive has openly violated the constitution and kiws of the state, 'attempted to usurp the power of the courts and the legislature, and abused th'e power of pardon until even the convicts in the prison have lost confidence in his integrity. 376 OKLAHOMA RED BdoK

Will Eliminate Machine Politics. "The republican party pledges the people that if given power it will remedy the many and serious evils existing in the present state government, establish public credit, give to every citizen his just and equal right, and redeem t1:e honor of the state at home and abroad; we will eliminate machine politics in governmental affairs ana give the people a thorough business administration, with the strictest pub lic economy and the lowest possible taxes.

To Redeem the State. "To this end we invite all citizens of this state who believe In honest, economical government, stability of public credit, and an equal chance for all to join with us in redeeming this state from the abyss of degeneration to which the democratic party tas taken us.

Favors Pure Ballot. "The republican party has always stood for the purity of the bal lot. The democratic party of the state is criminally attempting to subordinate the will of the people to the selfish desires of political machinists. We demand a return to the election machinery in force prior to statehood; that each political party having state candidates be allowed representation ,on every precinct, county and state election board that we may have an honest ballot and a fair count.

Warrants Two-Cent Rate. "We believe that it can be shown that the trunk line railroads doing business in Oklahoma are deriving sufficient revenues from their business in this state to warrant the enforcement of the two-cent pas senger rate; and while the federal court could, under the showing made to it, render no other decision than it did, in our opinion the facts were obtainable and the showing could have been made to have prevented the injunction which was grantd, and we condemn the in. competency and lack of ability of the State Corporation Commission and the democratic administration in failing to properly present the state's case to the 0ourt, and to make the showing to defeat the claims of the railroads to the constitutional immunity.

School Land Department. "We declare for an honest, economical business administration ot the school land department, one that will protect the interests of the school fund and the school children, as well as g11arantee to the lessees the enjoyment of all his rights and fair treatment at all times. "We endorse the action of the republicans in the last legislature and of the Farmers' Union in proposing to loan the public, state and school funds by an equal apportionment to the different counties.

Plea for School. "That our population may be drawn from the cities to the country and small towns and villages, and that our boys and girls may stay upon the farm; we favor legislation that will develop and maintain good schools within the reach of every country boy and girl, made easy of acltess by good roads. "We favor placing on the official ballot the party nominess lor United States senators as advisory to the legislature that they may know the will of the maj,ority before exercising the elective function. ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 377

"W'e are in favor of abolishing the state dispensary and all ap pointees thereunder and leave the enforcement of the law to the local officers.

For Law Enforcement. "Prohibition has been incorporated into the constitution and is now a constitutional enactment. We condemn the democratic state administration for non-enforcement of law, and pledge the republican. party to law enforcement.

Merit, the Test. "We pledge the party, if successful at the polls, to eliminate par tisan politics from our school system and that qualification and not party affiliation shall be the test for position in the var10us state schools." 37i OKLAHOMA RED BOOK

SOCIALIST PARTY STATE PLATFORM

"The socialist party of Oklahoma reaffirms its adherence to the »rinciples of international socialism as enunciated in the national plat form of the socialist party. "The socialist party of Oklahoma declares its object to be the political organization of the working class and those in sympathy with it. for the purpose of capturing the powers of government of the state of Oklahoma and using this power for the betterment of the condi tions of the workers. "The socialist party of Oklahoma demands the state ownership and control of such industries and means of transportation as are eollectively used by the people of Oklar,oma; such as the coal and mining industries, the oil industry. the cotton ginning and compressing and cotto..:;,-spinning industries; the stock yards, packing and cpld storage industries, the telephone lines, the interurban elec1,;ic lines, etc_; such industries to be under the democratic management of the workers in such industries, and to be operated not f.or the purpose of ma.king profits for the state, but to give to the workers in such indus tries the full social value of their labor_ "The socialist party of Oklahoma stands for universal suffrage, and advocates the extension of the franchise to women upon the same terms as men; and will fight every move having for its object the dis franchisement of the working class, or any part of it, through so-called pou tax laws, grandfather clauses. educatLonal, property and residence qualifications that have no object other than the gradual taking away trom the workers the right of franchise; and thus prevent the work ers from securing control of the powers of government. "The socialist party of Oklahoma demands the enactment of laws that will effectively give into the hands of the people the use of the initiative and referendum. The socialist' party charges that the demo oratic administration and the interests it represents, has and is using every effort to prevent the people from using the initiative and refer eJl.dum on any measure, unless such measure is advocated by the capi talist class. The democratic administration has further circumvented and evaded the demands of the people. even after the people had voted and determined upon such measures by large majorities at the polls. "As such measures we cite: "The people voted against the sale -of the school lands. "The legislature immediately after sold part of the school lands. "The people initiated a referendum on the Taylor Ribbon Ballot election law. The legis}ature evaded this referendum by passing- an election law equally as obnoxious as the Taylor law, which repealed the Taylor law; and thus took away from the people the right to vote on the Taylor law. I .:.~ "The capitalist interests of the state initiated an amendment to the constitution to be known -as article IX, section 9; and further ini tiated a law to determine the location of the state capital. On these measures the ,democratic governor called a special election so as to make these measures easily passed, as it requires but a majority vote of the people voting at such election. ELlDCTIONS AND PLATFORMS 379

"On tlie other hand, the initiative petition signed by more than 38,000 voters demanding the right to vote for women upon the same terms as men is held up in the courts on the word of one man, one of the henchmen of the democratic administration. No special elec· tion is called on this measure. It must wait for the general election, when it requires a majority of all the people voting at such election for the state officer receiving the highest number of votes, to pass this measure. "The socialist party further demands the enactment of laws pro· Tiding for the right of recall, and such election laws that recognize the rights of all political parties taking part in such elections, to representation on the election boards, and to a counter at each pre einct. Such eillction boards to be elective, and not appointive. "The socialist party demands the repeal ,of senate bill No. 126, which has for its aim and object the taking out of the hands of the people the use of the initiative and referendum, by limiting the time for the securing of petttions to 60 days, in violation of a constitutional provision of 90 days; and which law further gives into the hands of the legislature such powers as to make any 'measure suggested for initiation by them. Easy of passage through an unfair and nefarious arrangement of the ballot. "The socialist party demands the enactment of a law abolishing 'professional' guardianship, for the purpose of cutting our court ex penses and lawyer fees, which are now gobbling up practically all the income from small estates, especially that of Indians in the eastern half of the state. "The socialist party demands the free administration of justice, and the maintenance by the state of families dependent on state and county convicts. "The socialist party demands the enactment of laws providing for state insurance of workers against sickness, accident, and death; so as to give to an injured or sick worker, or those dependent upon him, compulsory compensation, and relieve him from the necessity of go ing into the courts and sue for compensation, which delays action indefinitely, or to such a time as to be of little benefit to the worker. "The socialist party demands the establishment of sanitariums for the free treatment of tuberculosis and other social diseases. "The socialist party stands for every measure that will add to the material, intellectual or moral welfare of the working class; and as the w()rking class of Oklahoma is largely made up of agricultural workers, we stand for the following: ' "Farmers' program: "As measures calculated to bring into collective property the land, and enable every farmer to have the use and occupancy of the land sufficient for a home and .the support of his family, we hereby advocate and pledge our elected officers to the following program.

Points of Constitutional Law. Congre!l.il must meet at least once a year. Congress may admit as many new states as desired. One state cannot undo the act of another. By the Constitution every citizen is guaranteed a speedy trial by jury. • A power which is vested in Congress alone cannot be exercised by a state. One state must respect the legal decisions and laws of another. Congress cannot pass a law to punish for a crime already com mitted. A person who commits a felony in one state cannot find refuge in another. Bills for revenue can originate only in the House of Representa- . tives, but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments. Treaties with foreign powers are made by the President and rati fied by the Senate; The Territories each have a delegate in Congress, who is allowed the privilege of debate, but not the right to vote. The Vice-President, who ex-officio presides over the Senate, has no vote in that body except in a case of a tie ballot. If the President holds a bill longer than ten days, while Congress is in session, it becomes a law without his signature. An act of Congress cannot become a law over the President's veto except on a two-thirds vote of both houses. The House of Representatives may impeach the President for any crime, but the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. Amendments to the Constitution of the United States requires a two-thirds vote of each House of Congress and must be ratified by at least three-fourths of the States. The President of the United States must be 35 years of age; a Senator, 30; a Congressman, 25; the President must have been a resident of the United States fourteen years. A naturalized citizen is not eligible to the office of President Df the United States. A male child born in a foreign land of American parents does not lose its American citizenship thereby.
