PREFACE
PREFACE
The information contained in this publication is compiled from official sources where official records and documents could be obtained. In other respects the most reliable unofficial data has been used. Be- ing a publication by the state, it is intended that it should be impart- ial and unprejudiced. In formation concerning political parties and their organization has been obtained from the authorized party offic- ials. Effort has been made to avoid giving prepondating importance to one party over another and where such information is meager or incomplete, it is because no better could be obtained at the time of publication.
In giving this volume to the public it has been the aim to make it a book which will be desired as an addition to the libraries of the state because of its real worth. Special attention has been given to obtaining and preserving facts and historical matters which were about to become lost to the future generations of the state of Oklahoma. Owing to the lack of an historical perspective on events in Oklahoma since it became a state, the selection of the material used has of course been confined to the contemporary, and consequently could be chosen with but doubtful regret to historical value. The purpose of the book is to give Oklahomans real facts concerning their commonwealth and to, at the same time bear a message to the residents of other states who may desire to know something of Oklahoma's make-up, political, social, economic and historical.

OKLAHOMA'S STORY
The story of the contest waged for the opening of the lands of Ok- lahoma to white settlement is most interesting. The long fight made by the "colonies" for entrance to the forbidden land showed the charcater of the men and women who were to become the basic ele- ment of the state's citizenship. As the desire for unoccupied lands grew, a large army of prospective settlers clamored for the unused lands of Indian Territory. These settlers joined forces with the rail- roads and together they waged war on the cattle kings of Oklahoma's pastoral regime.
On April 15, 1879, T. C. Sears, an attorney for the M. K. & T., railroad announced that there were fourteen million acres of public land located here which were subject to homestead entry. This seems to have been the original discovery of the "unassigned lands" and immediately aroused much interest. Three "colonies" were or- ganized. Charles C. Carpenter, a leader of one of the colonies and a man who, three years before, had rushed the Black Hills region, cros- sed the border with his band May 7, 1879, but was promptly ejected by general Wesley Merritt in command of troops of the Fifth Cavalry. David L. Payne then came to the front as an organizer -and leader of the boomers. Again and again presidential proclamations warned the boomers out of the forbidden territory, but as often did Captain Payne and his persistent followers return only to be ejected. Much agitation of the question of settlement resulted. The sudden death of Captain Payne at Wellington, Kas., November 27, 1884, put something of a damper on boomer enthusiasm, although the next year Captain Wil- liam L. Couch, Payne's lieutenant, led another expedition into what is now Payne County. He was forced to withdraw and made a second attempt in November of the same year with no better success.
It was in 1885 that the Santa Fe railroad was built into the Ter- ritory from Arkansas City, and the boomers were convinced that Ok- lahoma, would soon be opened to settlement by legal proclamation. and invasion was given up.
In the interim from 1885 to 1889, the boomers turned their at- tention to "No Man's-Land". When Texas joined the United States in 1845, all its territory north of thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes had to be surrendered because, according to the Missouri compromise there would be no more slave territory north of that line. By the organization of Kansas in 1856 its southern boundary was made thirty- seven degrees. This left a strip of land thirty minutes in width from the 100th meridian, north of Texas and south of Kansas, long known as "No Man's Land." The Indians laid no claim to this region and the cattlemen had already taken possession of those limitless prairies, now constituting the Pan Handle of Oklahoma or Beaver, Texas and Cimarron counties. By the spring of 1887, it was estimated that six
xviii OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
thousand people had entered this unorganized territory. The region had not been surveyed, there was no land office, and titles could not be obtained. The settlers, however, organized a claim board and set up a government of their own. A convention was held in March, 1887, and the "'Territory of Cimarron" was organized and a delegate elected to Congress. A territory legislature was elected in the fall of 1887 and it was in session most of the following winter. A full set of territorial officers and a new delegate to Congress were chosen in November 1888. Here the tnatter ended. The Territory of Cimar- ron was forgotten the next year when Oklahoma was opeiied by the provisions of a "rider" on the Indian Appropriation Bill and in 1890 it vi'as made an Oklahoma county.
President Benjamin F. Harrison issued the proclamation opening Oklahoma to settlement April 22, 1889, thus ending the long fight be- tween the farmer and the herdman.
THE OPENING OF OKLAHOMA
Never was there such a race in the history of the world. Since ^^^9 when ttie Fort Smith soldiers ejected the settlers on the Kiamitia this had been a forbidden region.
"For three quarters of a century the tide of migration had'surged against this wall. Finally when it gave way, the eager settlers hurled themselves upcn the coveted land, as did the ancient Israelites upon the fields of Canaan. The racers had to cross the Cherokee strip, sixty miles in width, in their rush from the Kansas border before they arrived at the land open to settlement. The three days preceding the opening were allowed for this. Now, women and children on horseback and on foot, with buggies, wagons, oxcarts, horses and ponies, all gathered on the line as the hour of noon approached. The noise and .confusion ceased as the moment for the start drew near. With set faces these racers for homes closely watched the officer who, with v/atch in hand, awaited the appointed moment. Suddenly from the carbines of the cavalrymen there came a puff of smoke. The crashing report of the guns was drowned in the mighty shout of the waiting thousands as they crossed the line. On they went in breath- less haste. The solid front shown at the moment of the start was soon broken, and the forces of the invading boomers seemed rather the wild route of a 'defeated foe than the advance of an invading one."
The majority of the settlers came into the territory from the north, but considerable numbers came from the Chickasaw country on the south and the Pottawatomie reservation, which joined the open district on the east.
The "rider" which opened Oklahoma to settlement was the hurried expedient of an almost defeated contingent. No provision was made for a territorial government, and no local laws were in force, but stipu- lations were made that town sites could be laid out. In a day, places which were but railroad sidings with a water tank, a section house, and a name, have become bustling cities, with a population of several thousand.
Provision was made that any person who should enter the new country previous to the moment set for the opening would forfeit his right to hold land, thus becoming a "sooner". Many quarrels over claims and town lots arose. Often there was recourse to arms to settle these disputes. In Oklahoma City rival land companies con- tended for possession of lots, and a bitter feud raged for months.
INTRODUCTORY xix
City governments were at once organized, and wliile tliese had no real authority, according to the strict letter of the law, yet they were obeyed ana proved as useful and efficient a means of maintain- ing order as were the wholly self-constituted governments of the New England Puritans.
The Organic Act, legally establishing Oklahoma Territory and pro- viding a toim of government became a law on May 2, 189T). Power was given the president to appoint the governor and the secretary, and the judges of the supreme court. The governor was given the power to appoint all other executive officials. The legislature consisted of a council of thir{een members and a house of representatives of twenty- six. The supreme court judges acted also as district judges, and as the territory grew in size and population, the number of these judges was increased from three to five and then to seven.
George W. Steele of Indiana became the first territorial governor, May 22, 1890. Guthrie was designated as the temporarj^; capital and remained so until June 11, 1911, when it was moved to, Oklahoma City by referendum vote of the citizens. The election was held invalid by the State Supreme Court on a defect in the bill, but Governor Haskell called a special session of the legislature, which body located the capital at Oklahoma City, December 29th by more than a two-thirds majority vote. After being in office a year and a half Governor Steele resigned and on October 18, 1891, Judge A. J. Seay, a supreme court judge of the territory was named to succeed him. "President Cleveland appointed Vv. C. Renfrow to succeed Seay May 7, 1893. Renfrow serv- ed th'^ f'']l four years and was succeeded by Cassius M. Barnes of Guthrie May 24,, 1897. Governor Barnes also served a full term of four years and William M. Jenkins, also of Guthrie, was named as his suc- cessor April 15, 1901. Governor Jenkins served but a little over seven months when he was summarily removed by President Roose- velt. Thompson P. Ferguson of Watonga was appointed to fill the vacancy on November 30, 1901. He held office for more than the full term of four years, remaining in office until January 5, 1906, when he was sucf>eeded bv Frank Frantz, a captain in Roosevelt's regiment of Rough Riders, during the Spanish-American War. He served as chief executive of the territory until November 16, 1907, when the territory was admitted with the Indian Territory as Oklahoma, the Firty-iSxth State.
Treaties were made with the Iowa, the Sac and Fox, and the Pot- tawatomie and Shawnees by which those reservations were opened to settlement Sept. 22, 1891. The Cheyenne and Arapaho country was opened to settlement by like manner April 19, 1892. Finally the cattle kings of the Cherokee Outlet were routed and this strip of surplus land of the Cherokee, was ceded back to the government by the In- dians and then opened for settlement, Sept. 16, 1893. This was a re- petition of the former runs. "Sooner" and the pistol played an even more prominent part at this opening than at previous runs." In May, 189.5, the Kickapoo county, a small district lying between the reserva- tions of the Iowa and Pottawatomies was opened to settlement. This was the last of the Indian lands to be opened with a "run." At the Kiowa-Comanche-Caddo opening August 6, 1901, the farms were dis- tributed by means of a lottery. Greer county, a disputed portion of land claimed by Texas, was awarded to the jui'isdiction of Oklahoma by a decision of the Supreme Court in 1895.
David A. Harvey was the first delegate to represent Oklahoma at Washington. He was elected in November, 1890, under the terms of the Organic Act, but was allowed no vote. Dennis T. Flynn was chos- en in 1892 to succeed Harvey. He was re-elected in 18t94. but was de- feated in 1896 by James Y. Callahan. In 1898 Flynn was again elected and remained in office until 1903 when he was succeeded by Bird S.

McGuire, who held the office until the coming of statehood.
Almost immediately after the settlers had rushed into Oklahoma, agitation for statehood began, for the new territory soon had more people than many states. Numerous statehood conventions were held in Oklahoma Territory and at these the question immediately pre- sented itself as to whether there should be one or two states carved out of the Twin Territories. The advocates of single statehood felt that the mines and vast oil interests of the eastern part of what is now the state and the agricultural industries of the western half would naturally supplement each other. The advocates of double statehood pointed out that the small and sparsely settled New England states had two senators apiece, and that since each half of Oklahoma already had a larger population than many of these states, simple justice demanded that the Southwest should have this added repres- entation.
The so-called "Sequoyah Constitutional Convention" was the only determined effort made by Indian Territory to secure statehood, in- dependently of Oklahoma Territory. Delegates from the Five Nations met at Muskogee in July, 1905. A constitution for this portion of Ok- lahoma was framed, and the prospective state was named "Sequoyah," in honor of the inventor of the Cherokee alphabet. William H. Mur- ray, who came from the Chickasaw nation and Charles N. Haskell, who later became the first governor, were actively identified as dele- gates in the convention. The constitution written by this convention was given little recognition by Congress, but its work gave the white men of the Civilized Tribes an opportunity to get together, so that when the convention met at Guthrie during the following year to frame a constitution for the united territories, a group of delegates who had worked together in the Sequoyah Convention easily forged to leadership.
Finally the Omnibus Bill was signed by President Roosevelt June 14, 1906. The bill was so called because it united Oklahoma and In- dian Territories as one state and Arizona and New Mexico as an- other. The Enabling Act provided for a constitutional convention of one hundred and twelve members, fifty-five from Oklahoma, fifty-five from Indian Territory and two from the Osage Nation. The election of delegates was held and they met at Guthrie, November 20, 1906. Wm. H. Murray of Tishomingo was elected president. He had served as vice-president of the Sequoyah convention and was subsequently elected speaker of the first legislature. C. N. Haskell was the demo- cratic floor leader.
The constitution framed was adopted by a majority of 107,274 and the entire democratic state ticket was elected at the election, Sept., 17, 1907. The two territories were admitted as the state of Oklahoma, November 17, 1907. Chas. N. Haskell was elected governor and Thomas P. Gore and Robt. L. Owen were chosen the first U. S. Sen- ators from the new state. Bird S. McGuire. Elmer L. Fulton, James S. Davenport, Charles D. Carter and Scott Ferris were elected as the first Congressmen
OKLAHOMA'S CITIZENSHIP.
The Oklahoman is a proud individual. He is rich, not wealthy, less aristocratic. Rich in earned pride in so many things of which to be proud, not vain. Praiseful without boasting. However humble the lot cast in Oklahoma, that lot has changed and ^very Oklahoman stands with head erect, though not in the air. The past life of en- forced drudge, of toil and hardships, that surrounding void of oppor- tunity entailed; the venture made for a chance of life in a strange, untried field, each a stranger to each, necessitating self introductions.
INTRODUCTORY xxi
each to each forced to a sudden fraternization, which born of neces- sity, became an innate quality, deep and deeper burned in with the brand of observance until there has been developed an unconquerable trait of nature.
Hence, the proverbial characteristic of the Oklahoman for sociabil- ity, commonality and generous impulse, the gate ajar for a stranger as well, with no sword of jealousy over the arch; welcome over every door, the latch string out. From the previous drudge to swift gather- ings of all that modern pleasure desires, the Oklahoman rests in ease and comfort, not in that luxury which breeds indolence and fosters pomp. From peonage to peerage, why not proud? For "it was not the wealth and affluence that gathered here with coffers of gold." But the crack of a gun on that forever memorable day when Oklahoman's green gates were thrown open, sounded the crack of doom to poverty and distress to those who waited on the margin of "The Land of the Fair God." The day of jubilee under proclaimed script from the in- finite, bidding the bondman go free; and sunset of the first day cast fading rays on a surging, seething tide of venture, rushing, jostling, struggling. The like was never seen before, never will be seen again in its extent, in its orderly tumult. And what system, what patience in that mad cavalcade of adventure; what noble citizenship stamped peace and fraternity and, good fellowship upon that clamorous, tumult- ous mass in the heterogeneous scramble for vantage!
Beneath each foot of the sea of green that day, each throb that thrilled the untamed swards of Oklahoma, lay limitless the germ of rich harvests, of fruits, in florescent splendor, exhaustless the latent resources, and immeasurable by calculation the possibilities. These came, homeless, to seek a home; moneyless, to coin from the respons- ive soil. They "had tasted from the bitter cups of drudgery and dis- tress, but came as the children of favors delayed. They came with their manhood, their womanhood, with their patience, their good citi- zenship, with hope. They had calculated on hardships, for the time, and deprivations; these they met with heroic will and conquered. They smote the hillsides and gushing streams issued forth; they em- braced the virgin fields, and golden sheaves were conceived. Poverty and self-denials vanished as did the mists above the drenched wastes. Herds increased, great bins groaned wtih their care of grains, and the keys to golden stores were turned. Even as Midas prayed for vint- age god that all he touched might turn to gold, so Ceres heard the plea of Oklahoman husbandry, and the primitive is now a reminiscence engraved on aureate plaques.
So came the merchant, the baker, the craftsman. Churches, edu- cational institutions sprang up as if from spontaneity at the nod of Allah. Industries spread like fires before the wild winds of the burn- ing'plain. Venture predicated upon the latent resources of Oklahoma, so that yesterday a seat of improvised tents and habitations less pro- vised — today, collossal marts and palatial homes.
That community which can assure itself that its citizenship is on a plane with the best known to civilization has the greatest asset obtainable.
The circumstances under which the state of Oklahoma was open- ed as a territory to white settlement was such as to assemble, in a single day, a quarter of a million hardy, aggressive, intellectual, dar- ing people from practically every state in the union. Among these were few indeed to whom might not be applied the title "an uncrown- ed king." Only brave hearted, strong minded folk permit themselves to th drawn into a vortex such as was that seething mass formed on the opening day of Oklahoma. Cowards and degenerates could not endure such a strain. Few who came here at that time ever gave the question of returning to their former abodes a second thought. They

knew the natural advantages of the section they had chosen for a future home, and they bravely faced every hardship to make the ef- fort of their lives to make good individually. How well they suc- ceeded in this is manifested in the wonderful strides made in every county in the now popular young commonwealth in the sisterhood of states.
The world has never produced an assemblage of braver, stronger, cleaner specimens of manhood and womanhood than those liberty lov- ing, patriotic, determined men and women who walked from the decks of the May Flower at Plymouth Rock, three hundred years ago and those brilliant Cavaliers who landed at Jamestown in 1607. They form- ed a foundation for a citizenship, which has spread westward steadily and conquered both foe and nature. The same strong arms that wielded the ax in the forests of the New England states in the years that followed the arrival of these patriots, to clear the fields for plant- ing a citizenry, which has reproduced and multiplied descendants whose valor has never dimmed, whose love of country, freedom of speech, pride of home and loyalty to our institutions, have grown stronger as the nation has become popular and its people independent.
Thousands of the descendants of these hardy pioneers were to be found astride striped legged ponies dashing across the sun kissed prairies of Oklahoma on that memorable day, April 22, 1889. A large majority of them may be found, multiplied and advanced in keeping with the time, among the business men throughout the state. There is a larger per centage of people residing within the boundaries of Oklahoma today, in proportion to population, eligible to membership in that society known as the Daughters of the American Revolution than in any other state.
Situated in the central southwest, well removed from any sea- shore, Oklahoma feels less the influx into the country of undesir- able immigrants from foreign shores than almost any other state. The fact that the assimulation of these immigrants aften require two or more generations, renders their admission in larger numbers imdesir- able, hence the fact that Oklahomans are largely American born citi- zens, keen in their conception of the higher ideals of our form of gov- ernment and its institutions, places the state upon a plane above many of its sister states. The low-class foreigners in his ignorance of our institutions bothers little here, hence the few who stray into our midst are lonesome and not impressed by the reception accorded them when they enter into competition with our typical class of active Americans.
A territory situated as Oklahoma naturally appeals to the best people and those most informed of the advantages of a home in a temperate clime, from all over the nation. For this reason there has been developed in twenty years a citizenship of the most pronounced cosmopolitan type. There were just enough descendants from the Cavalier aristocracy of the Old South to blend with the Puritan that formed the Westerner, and then came the typical Yankee of the East, making concessions, e'ach to the other; which character calculated to develop a race unlike anything in the world, and retain a pride of race and respect for that hope for a higher civilization any true American must prize.
In order that the full story of Oklahoma's empire builders be told, it would require the hand of the historian, the foresight of the statesman, and the knowledge of the ethnologist of racial and social conditions and racial and social characteristics of the various races and tribes of men which have become component parts of its citizenry. To clearly depict the life of a people and the growth of a state, which in little more than one score years has been changed from a prairie waste with a lonesome ranch house here and there in some sleepy' valley, to the
INTRODUCTORY xxiii
forefront of the sisterhood of states, and whose banner is seen proudly waving, unsullied and unstained, in the thickest of the industrial and political battle as the battle flag of the great humanitarian forces, would require the hand of no mean artist.
Oklahoma's constitution, like her people, is a product of the entire union. That document has been pronounced as one of the greatest declaration of rights of the common people which has ever been laid down. It ranks with the Magna Charta. It contains the best of the ages. Oklahoma's great leaders and its constitution framers were able to glean the best from the fruits of the years and then wrote that into the fundamental document of our laws.
Oklahoma's men and women have come fi'om practically every state in the union. It is the scene of the final stand of the Indian against the Anglo-Saxon's form of civilization. It is the fusing point o| the ideas and energy of the Southron, the Northerner and the Easterner. It is the one great bright spot in the southwestern corner of the nation's political firmament. From here will come a new type man of the age. The southwest has been the objective point of some of the best educated, best trained, best equipped men of the nation who have forsaken the more crowded avenues of success in the older states and have come hither to achieve their fame and fortune. As a result a new type-man of the first quarter of the Twentieth Century must come from the recently unsettled southwest.
OKLAHOMA STATE SEAL
The conception of the Oklahoma state seal is peculiarly happy in that it combines in a perfect symbol the Great Seal of the Territory of Oklahoma with those of the Five Civilized Tribes, the Great Seal of the Territory of Oklahoma being in the center of a five-pointed star, in each projection of which is one of the national emblems of the red men's former gov- ernments.
The device of the seal was the work of Dr. A. Grant Evans, formerly president of the Oklahoma State University, J. J. Quarles of the Osage Nation, and Gabe Parker of Academy, Okla., members of the Constitutional Convention.
It is described as follows :
"In the center shall be a five-pointed star, with one ray pointing upward. The center of the star shall contain the central device of the seal of the Territory of Oklahoma, in- cluding the words 'Lahbr Omnia Ylncit.' the literal transla- tion of which is 'Labor Conquers All,' and all of which shall be encircled by a wreath of the floral emblem of the new state,
''The upper left-hand ray shall contain the symbol from the ancient seal of the Cherokee Nation — a seven-pointed star surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves.
"The ray pointing upward shall contain the symbol from the ancient seal of the Chickasaw Nation — an Indian warrior standing upright with bow in hand.
"The lower left-hand ray shall contain the symbol from the ancient seal of the Creek Nation — a sheaf of wheat and a plow. '
Sig. 3.
2 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
"The upper right-hand ray shall contain a symbol from the ancient seal of the Choctaw Nation — a tomahawk, bow and three crossed arrows.
''The lower right-hand ray shall contain the symbol from the ancient seal of the Seminole Nation — ;a village with houses and a factory beside a lake upon which an Indian is paddling a canoe.
''Surrounding the central star and grouped between its rays shall be forty-five small stars, divided into five clusters of nine stars each, representing the forty-five states of the union to which the 46th is now added.
"In a circular band surrounding the whole device shall be inscribed, 'Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma, 1907' "
STATE BANNER
The Third Legislature, 1911, adopted a concurrent reso- lution designating a state banner. Its description follows:
"That a banner, consisting of a red field with a five- pointed star, of white, edged with blue, in the center thereof, with the figures 46, in blue, in the center of the star, be, and the same is hereby adopted as the official banner of the State of Oklahoma."
STATE EMBLEM
The Territorial Legislature of 1893 adopted the mistletoe as the state emblem.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE COMMISSIONER OF LABOR.
Section 20 of Article VI of tlie State Constitution creates the office of Commissioner of Labor, wlio stiall be elected by the people. The terra of office is four years and the salary $2,000. The first legislature created a Board of Arbitration and Conciliation in the department, to be appointed by the governor by and with the advice and consent of the state senate, two of whom must be farmers and one an employer, selected by the governor, and two employes and one employer, recommended by the labor commissioner.
That organized labor has played an important part in shaping the destinies of the new state is evident from the fact that the state constitution, statutes, and ordinances of cities and municipali- ties contain laws which were advocated and enacted at its request.
Oklahoma has an eight-hour law for all public work, and provi- sion is made in the same law that the current market rate of per diem wages in the locality where the work is performed, shall be paid.
The State Free Employment Bureau was created at the request of organized labor. The law creating this institution of state gov- ernment affects the unorganized class of labor more than any other, practically 99 per cent, being of that class.
Factory inspection, child labor legislation, and many other laws have proven their value during the three years of their operation. Provision is also made, by statute, for the labeling of convict-made goods; and, in the constitution, for the prohibition of contracting convict labor, other than that of employment by the several counties of the state for road building; prohibiting payment of wages in script; providing a semi-monthly pay day; for service letters; steam boiler protection; operation of at least one repair shop within the limits of the state by all railroads; a mechanic's lien; protection of employes on buildings; punishment for deception in the employment of labor, or the use of unlawful force; regulation of private employ- ment agencies; the exemption of wages, and other provisions.

COMMISSIONERS OF THE LAND OFFICE.
History of Department.
The school lands of Oklahoma are a heritage to the coming gen- erations, the magnitude of which is difficult to comprehend from the present viewpoint of history.
Under the act of Congress, approved March 4, 1889, opening Ok- lahoma to settlement, sections 16 and 36 in each township were re- served for the use and benefit of the common schools, and the reser- vation was confirmed by the organic act of the territory. It had been customary in all territories in which school land was reserved to allow the land to lie idle until such time as the Territory was admitted to statehood, when some provision would be made for the disposal of the lands.
Territorial Governor George W. Steele conceived the plan of hav- ing the lands leased for a term of years. 'He went to Washington and as tbe result of his visit, authority was given the Governor of the Ter- ritory by an act of congress approved March 3, 1891 to lease such lands under such rules and regulations as might be prescribed by the Secre- tary of the Interior. Soon after the school land department was organized with one clerk, appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, and the leasing of land was begun.
By the act of Congress approved May 4, 1894, a board for leasing school lands was created, composed of the Governor. Secretary of the territory, and superintendent of public instruction who were author- ized to lease such lands under the rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior until laws for the administration of the trust should be passed by the territorial legislature.
The Third Legislature failed to pass such legislation. The Fifth Legislature passed a bill which was vetoed by Governor Renfrew and May 3, 1899, the board, as created bv the act of Congress adopted a new set of rules and regulations of its own accord, governing the leasing of land.
It was provided in the ordinance for the government of the Northwest Territory in 1787, that Section 16 in every township be set aside for the maintenance and support of a public school system. Thomas Jefferson was the real author of the public school system prevalent throughout the various states of the Union. In 1848, Section 36 was added to Section 16 for the support and maintenance of a com- mon school system in all the public lands of the United States out of which states might be created.
STATE DEPARTMENTS 45
Oklahoma was opened to settlement by the act of Congress under this law, April 22, 1889. When the Cherokee Strip was opened, Presi- dent Cleveland under the direction of Congress, added section 13 for the support of state educational institutions and Section 33 for the erection of public buildings for the state, which created an endow- ment of 1,415,862 acres of land for the common or district schools, and 1,712,633 for public buildings and for five higher educational institu- tions.
The national government in the Enabling Act in 1907, gave $5,- 000,000 in lieu of Sections 16 and 36, which could not be had in the Indian Territory section of the state.
The Governor, Secretary of State, State Auditor, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the President of the Board of Agriculture, under the provisions of Sections 32, 33 and 34, of Article VI of the State Constitution, constitute the Commissioners of the Land Office, who shall have charge of the sale, rental, disposal and managing of the school lands and other public lands of the State, and of the funds and proceeds derived therefrom.
An account is kept by the officers and commissioners of the State of all moneys and choses in action disbursed or otherwise dis- posed of severally by them, from all sources and for every service performed; and a report thereof shall be made semi-annually and as^ often as may be required by law, to the Governor under oath.

"Original Sources of Oklahoma Titles, with Special Reference to
Indian Titles."
BY KIRBY FITZPATRICK (Chief Examiner of Titles for State Scliool Land Department).
Delivered before the American Association of Title Men, at Little Rock, Ark., November 18, 1911.
The discussion of the original source of Oklahoma titles properly falls into two divisions:
First: The source from which the original individual owner ac- quired the fee;
Second: The condition under which the invidvidual ownei- can convey a fee simple;
Inasmuch as the entire area of Oklahoma except the three extreme western counties was originally included in the Indian Territory, the discussion necessarily involves a consideration of Indian laws and treaties from the foundation of the republic, and even before.
Among the European nations which established colonies in Amer- ica, the doctrine became firmly established that a grant from the Crown carried to a colony only the exclusive right to purchase from the Indians, at such time as they saw fit to sell, their right of occupancy, which right of occupancy remained fixed in the Indian tribes.
The supreme court of the United States has held time and time again that the United States in acquiring sovereignty once held by European nations succeeded only to such rights as the said nations themselves claimed; in other words, the Indian tribes owned a life estate in the territory which they occupied, while the United States held merely a vested remainder.
Our government, in dealing with the Indian right of occupancy has proceeded on the theory that each sub-division of the human race has, according to the law of nature, a right to a reasonable portion of the earth's surface, and that the Indian had no right to roam, unmolested, through this imperial domain, while other parts of the human .family were huddled together in countries over-crowded to such an extent as to make existence extremely precarious and well night intolerable.
The government, therefore, exercised the right of racial eminent c'omain, and while each cession of territory has been accompanied by the formality of a treaty, such treaty was invariably procured by fraud or under duress and for a consideration the insufficiency of which is well nigh appalling, and should be revolting to the national con- science.
Thus, this princely and warlike race, the most virile type of aborigines the world has known, was, by conquest, duress and fraud, reduced to a state of abject hoplessness and forced to assume a form of civilization for which they were not prepared; herded on reserva- tions or allotted on meager quarter sections, which scanty pittance is the patrimony left from the vast domain, all of which, under the construction of our supreme court, should have descended as a heritage to the Indians, in the absence of an alienation for a valuable consideration.
52 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
When we contemplate a spectacle such as the purchase of Man- hattan Island for twenty-four dollars (which was paid with three dollars worth of beads) can we wonder that these children of the forest stood appalled when they saw the land that they thought was to be merely a joint hunting ground being actually reduced to possession, dismantled of its timber, and hedged about with forts? Is it strange that their sense of justice was outraged, and their thirst of vengeance aroused, that they fell back step by step, contesting every foot of ground, leaving the bones of their warriors scattered from the Atlantic to the plains, and quenching with their own life blood every camp fire that the invader built?
When tiring of the unequal struggle, crowded out by an encroach- ing civilization, the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Cherokees, Creeks and Seminoles (now known as the Five Civilized Tribes) relinquished their right of occupancy to all of the country east of the Mississippi, being granted in exchange the fee to the greater part of the area of what is now Oklahoma; they were promised undisputed enjoyment of this hunting ground so long as the grass grew, and so long as the rivers ran on to the sea; but soon the tide of material civilization overran their borders until the intermarried whites and mixed bloods were able to control an election by which a treaty was adopted, against the wishes of ninety per cent of the full-blood Indians, re- linquishing the tribal right and agreeing to a partition of their lands to the individual members of the tribe; and thus the last flower of the most ideal tribal relations the world has ever known has been ruthlessly blotted from the earth.
The government, from time to time, purchased from the Five Civilized Tribes that part of their lands lying in what was Oklahoma Territory, and settled thereon remnants of many scattered tribes, allowing them to hold only under the ordinary right of occupancy, with the exception of what is now the Osage Nation, which land was purchased by the government from the Cherokees and sold out- right to the Great and Little Osages and the Kaws.
When the Territory of Oklahoma was organized, all of the Indian Territory, except what was then occupied by the Five Civilized Tribes, was cut off and, together with the public lands lying west of the one hundredth meridian, known as "No Man's Land," was formed into Oklahoma Territory.
The government, from time to time, purchased from the scat- tered tribes in Oklahoma Territory their right of occupancy, in exchange giving to each member an individual allotment and issuing what is known as a "trust patent," which provides that the govern- ment shall hold the land for twenty-five years in trust for the allottee or his heirs.
The lands, purchased from the above mentioned scattered tribes, together with the public-lands strip above referred to, was from time to time, opened to homestead settlement under the general homestead laws of the United States; the settlers, after proof of settlement and final payment, being issued a fee simple patent.
Out of the public land aforesaid, the government, from time to time, has set aside an amount aggregating three million, one hundred and twenty-six thousand, four hundred and ninety-five and seventy- five one-hundredths acres (worth at this time at least fifty million dollars) ; the title to which land is held by the state of Oklahoma in trust for the benefit of the schools and public buildings of the state. This land is controlled by the commissioners of the land office, and will be treated under the general head of "School Lands."
STATE DEPARTMENTS 53
When it became necessary to establish towns in Indian Territory, the government, acting as the trustee for the respective tribes, set aside townsites, plotted and sold the lots, issuing to the purchasers thereof a fee simple patent.
There was left over, after allotting to the Indians of the Osage nation, and the Five Civilized Tribes, certain lands which are at this time being sold by the government, as trustee, the purchaser receiving from the chiefs of the respective tribes a fee simple patent.
Thus we have in Oklahoma seven distinct classes of land:
A — Homestead entries;
B — Town lots in Indian Territory and Osage Nation;
C — Land purchased from Indian tribes;
D — School lands;
E — Land held by individual Indians of the Osage Nation;
F — Land held under trust patent by members of scattered tribes;
G — Land held by individual members of the Five Civilized Tribes.
This brings us to the second division of the subject namely: "The Condition Under Which the Original Individual Owner May Convey a Fee Simple Title."
The general laws of conveyancing, administration and guardian- ship proceedings, tax titles, sale under execution, probation of will, etc., as modified by our statutes, of course, govern in Oklahoma. I will, therefore, only discuss conditions perculiar to the respective classes of land; and while it is impossible to give an exhaustive treatise on titles in a limited space, however, the following will be found to cover the principal laws governing the transfer of Oklahoma Indian land, acting under which an unquestionable title may be ac- quired.
Classes "A," "B," and "C" are alienable at will after issuance of patent.
Class "D" (school lands) is from time to time being sold under statutory authority by the commissioners of the land office at public auction, the purchaser, upon payment of five per cent of the purchase price is issued a certificate of purchase (which is transferrable), the remainder of the purchase being paid in forty equal annual install- ments, drawing interest at five per cent with the option of the pur- chaser of paying up after five years, and upon full payment the purchaser received a fee simple patent from the commissioners of the land office.
About ten thousand quarter sections of agricultural school land is held under lease, the lessees having, under the constitution, a preference right to take the land at the highest bid; while if the lessee elects to allow the bidder to take the land, the purchaser must pay the lessee, in cash, the appraised value of improvements on the land, as appraised by the commissioners of the land office.
Class "E" lands in the Osage Nation are held by the Osages and Kaws subject to certain restrictions.
The act of congress of June 27, 1906, provides that the adult members of the Osage tribe may sell their surplus land, provided the Secretary of the Interior, upon due investigation, will certify that the particular Indian is competent to attend to his own affairs.
The act of Congress of March 3, 1909, authorized the Secretary of the Interior, as trustee for the Indians, to sell any surplus land in the Osage Nation (both the Kaws and the Osages) provided, how- ever, that the mineral rights to lands, belonging to the Osages, should remain the property of the tribe, for a period of twenty-five years.
54 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
Class "F": Trust patents to the members of the various scat- tered tribes in what was Oklahoma Territory were issued under the general allotment act of 1887, which act has the following language:
" * * * The United States does, and will, hold the land thus allotted for the period of twenty-five years in trust for the sole use and benefits of the Indian to whom such allottment shall have been made, or in case of his decease, of his heirs according to the law of the state or territory where such land is located."
This section was amended by the act of May 27, 1902 (32 Stat. 275), which amendment governs in the sale of such estates in Oklahoma. (See rules and regulations, approved by the interior department, October 12, 1910, Section 10.) Said act of May 27, 1902, section 7, has the following language:
"That the adult heirs of any deceased Indian to whom trust or other patent containing restrictions upon alienation has been or shall be issued for lands allotted to him, may sell and convey the lands inherited from such decendant, but in cases of minor heirs, their interest shall be sold only by guardian duly appointed by the proper court upon the order of such court, made upon petition filed by the guardian, but such conveyance shall be subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, and when so approved shall convey full title to the purchaser, the same as if final patent without re- strictions upon alienation had been issued to the allottee."
The Department of the Interior holds that under the last quoted section the trust estates of Indians (deceased) are not subject to the jurisdiction of state courts (probate or other) and that all that is necessary in order that heirs may convey under said section is to establish heirship by affidavit, thus securing the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, which the Interior Department holds con- veys an indefeasible title. On the other hand, I hold that the approval of the deed of the heirs by the Interior Department merely acts as relinquishment, on the part of the government, of all restrictions against the conveyance of said land, but that such approval does not preclude unknown heirs, who were not a party to the said approval, from setting up a claim to title in the land question and that the effect of said deed is merely an absolute conveyance of all the rights which the parties grantor hold in the said land. I hold that said section seven provides a procedure not for the determination of heirship, but merely a procedure by which the government relinquishes the restrictions on such land. The question as to who the adult heirs of the deceased Indian are must be determined "according to the law of the state or territory where such land is located," as is provided in the general allotment act above quoted. The language of the said section, "when so approved shall convey full title to the purchaser the same as if final patent without restrictions upon the alienation had been issued to the allottee," it seems to me, can have one effect only, namely, to place the heirs of the said allottee in the same status as the heirs of the estate of a white man, "The same a8 if final patent without restrictions upon alienation had been issued to the allottee."
Had such fee simple patent been issued to the allottee during his life, there is no power in the federal government other than armed force that could rob an unknown heir, who is a citizen of Oklahoma of his right to a participation in his patrimony, without due process of law.
Class "G": Titles to the lands held by the Five Civilized Tribes are exceedingly complex, inasmuch as each tribe had its local laws and has been governed by separate treaties and acts of Congress
STATE DEPARTMENTS 65
(with the exception of Choctaws and Chickasaws, who are governed by the same laws) So that, in passing on these titles more than two hundred and fifty conditions may arise wliich do not appear in the ordinary title. Nevertheless, these titles are just as fixed and certain as any titles, provided one stays within the clear meaning of the acts of Congress.
There is a class of title that all admit is alienable, and another class that all admit is inalienable; then there is the twilight zone of uncertainty in which lurks speculators known as "grafters," wno, either through ignorance of, or total disregard for the acts of Coi»- gress, have purchased thousands of acres of land, the alienability of which has always been questioned by the more conservative title experts of the state, and because of this very uncertainty, these lands have been acquired at a nominal purchase price.
A bona fide purchaser, seeking legitimate investment at a fair consideration can acquire an absolute title to thousands of acres of Indian land, which has never been questioned by the courts, provided he will seek the counsel of any reputable title expert.
In the Marchie Tiger case, the supreme court of Oklahoma held that the provisions of the act of April 26, 1906, requiring the Secretary of the Interior to approve the deed of full blood heirs, was retroactive and could not be held to apply to a class of land the restrictions on which had expired under the operation of a prior act. This decision, inasmuch as it involved the interpretation of a federal statute, was in no sense conclusive, but stood subject to review by the supreme court of the United States.
While I have the utmost respect for the supreme court of my state, I could not hold with them in this interpretation and there- fore, for the last three years have refused to recommend loans of this character; the position is vindicated by the fact that on May 11, 1911, the Marchie Tiger case was reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States; and the records of the commissioners of the land office will show that I have disapproved more than one hun- dred thousand dollars worth of loans on which the state would now hold worthless mortgages had I seen fit to follow the ruling of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma in the Marchie Tiger case.
While it is estimated that the celebrated Marchie Tiger case made void the title under which more than one-quarter million acres of land was held in Oklahoma, I submit that every acre of this land was purchased with the full knowledge that the title was uncertain and the reason this land was purchased rather than land that had unquestionable title was that the clouded title forced down the market value.
In the case of Hancock, et al., vs. the Mutual Trust Company, the Supreme Court of Oklahoma held that prior to the act of Congress approved May 26, 1906, and under the act of July 18, 1902, the heirs of a deceased Cherokee Indian might alienate the lands inherited from such a decendant.
A similar question came before the Secretary of the Interior on January 29, 1907, in the case of the heirs of Robinson Watson, and upon an opinion from the Attorney General of the United States, the Secretary of the Interior made a ruling on alfours with the above holding of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. On October 17, 1908, the identical tract of land, title to which was held to be good, in the above case of the Watson heirs, was submitted to the state for a loan, and I disapproved the title in the following language:
" • * * I do not agree with the reasoning of the honor- able Attorney General of the United States. I think that the deduc- tion is unsound and farfetched in the extreme. * • ♦ My
66 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
opinion is that while this class of title is such that a speculator might afford to invest his own money thereon, it is not such as would justify a trustee in loaning a fund which is to be held sacred for the benefit of the unborn generations of the school children of the state. This law is retroactive in its nature, therefore, there is some question as to its constitutionality, but until the courts pass on this question the only safe position is to follow the act of Congress, of April 26, 1906."
While this point has not yet been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, yet a ruling contrary to the above ruling of the Attorney General was made June 7, 1911, by the Honorable At- torney General of the United States, in re the heirs of Lucy Cole; holding squarely that such lands were inalienable.
Of the four million dollars loaned by the commissioners of the land office since statehood, three-quarters of a million is on Indian land to which the title is unassailable.
The Attorney General of the United States, October 17, 1909, construing section nine of the act of Congress of May 27, 1908, held that its provisions were not retroactive, and that all conveyances by full-blood heirs of the deceased allottees who died prior to May 27, 1908, in order to pass a valid title to the estate of said deceased allottees must be approved by the Secretary of the Interior. On May 27, 1911, the Supreme Court of Oklahoma in the case of MacHarry vs. Batman (not et published) held directly to the contrary, and the United States court for the eastern district of Oklahoma has also held with the Supreme Court of Oklahoma in a case parallel with the one above referred to.
It is my opinion that the Attorney General in the above opinion has correctly interpreted the law and that this interpretation will oe followed by the Supreme Court of the United Stateg in due time. However, as the state and federal authorities are clearly at variance on this point, which has been adjudicated by both state and federal courts, the only safe method in approving titles of this class, prior to a final adjudication, is to require the approval of the Secretary ot the Interior, and also of the probate court.
Where the original allottee has parted with his title and the purchase is from a party other than the allottee, the question of the v^alidity of the title depends upon the date of the deed from the original allottee.
With the exception of the Creek Nation, there was practically no land in the Five Civilized Tribes alienable prior to the act of April 21, 1904, which law is still effective and was supplemented by the act of April 26, 1906.
Next in point is the purchase direct from the Indian, in which case the act of Congress, approved May 27, 1908, which became operative after sixty days, namely, July 26, 1908, governs absolutely irrespective of previous enactments on the subject, with the exception of certain conditions as to the estates of deceased Indians.
The acts of Congress above referred to form the main basis of alienation of Indian lands and effect all of the Five Civilized Tribei alike.
Next came a few specific acts relating to individual tribes.
In the Choctaw and Chickasaw agreement, approved by Congress July 1, 1902 (33 Stat. L. 641), Section sixteen is as follows:
"All lands allotted to members of said tribes, except such land as Is set aside to each for homestead as herein provided shall be alien- able after issuance of patent as follows : One-fourth In acreage ih one year, one-fourth in acreage In three years, and the balance In five years; in each case from the date of patent. Provided, that such land
STATE DEPARTMENTS 57
shall not be alienable by the allottee or his heirs at any time before the expiration of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribal governments for less than its appraised value."
This law remained in effect until the act of May 26, 1908, with regard to all Indians except full-bloods, having been repealed as to full-bloods by the act of April 26, 1906. The law was never effective as to Choctaw and Chickasaw freedmen, because such freedmen had no surplus allottment, the land being homestead.
In the Creek agreement on March 9, 1900 (31 Stat. L. 861) Section 7, we find the following language:
"Lands allotted to citizens hereunder shall not in any manner whatsoever or at any time, be encumbered, taken or sold to secure or satisfy any debt or obligation contracted or created prior to the date of the deed to the allottee therefor, and such lands shall not be alien- able by the allottee or his heirs at any time before the expiration of five years from the ratification of this agreement, except with the ap- proval of the secretary of the interior."
The supplemental Creek treaty of June 30, (30 Stat. L. 500), Sec- tion 16, reaffirms the above proposition of law in practically the same language, its only effect being the extension of the time to five years from the date of said supplemental agreement instead of five years from the date of the original agreement, therefore, from March 1, 1901, until August 8, 1907, the surplus allottment of the Creek Indians could be sold with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior.
After August 8, 1907, the surplus land of said Creeks, except full- bloods, could be sold free ffom any restrictions and without the ap- proval of the Secretary of the Interior, said condition existing until the act of July 26, 1908, which act repealed the provision of the treaty above quoted.
There were certain conditions under which the Creek citizen could make a valid will to his land prior to April 26, 1904, but titles arising under these conditions are so rare that it is not deemed sufficiently important to be of great interest.
Cherokee Agreement, approved April 21, 1902 (32 Stat. L. 716) Section 15, is as follows:
"All the lands allotted to members of said tribe, except such lands as set aside for homestead as herein provided, shall be alienable in five years after the issuance of patent."
This provision was repealed as to full-bloods by the act of April 26, 1906, and repealed as to all other Indians by act of July 27, 1908. There are very few deeds made under this provision of law, however, as there are very few patents whose date extended back five years before the acts repealing said law.
Aside from this provision there was no provision either in the Cherokee or Seminole Nations for the alienation of lands prior to the act of congress of April 21, 1904, above quoted.
The following general principles applying to each of the Five Civilized Tribes is conclusive proof as to age of allottee, while the tribal roll is conclusive proof as to the per cent of blood.
Land of an allottee is not liable for any claim or lien contracted prior to the removal of restrictions, and is only taxable after the re- moval of restrictions.
Oklahoma statutes removing the disability of a minor to make con- tracts does not affect Indian minors in the transfer of Indian lands.
58 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
Chapter 49, Mansfield's digest of the statutes of Arkansas (govern- ing as to descent and distribution) was made to apply to the re- spective tribes after the following dates:
Choctaw and Chickasaw, September 25, 1902. Creek, July 1, 1902. Seminole, October 7, 1902. Cherokee, August 7, 1902.
All patents must be approved by the Secretary of the Interior. It has been held, in the case of Shulthis vs. McDougal, 95 C. C. A., page 615, that the Indians of these tribes held their lands as tenants in com- mon; that their right to participation came as an estate of inheritance from their tribal ancestors who, as above set out, received a deed to this land from the United States government at the time they oc- cupied same.
There is, therefore, no reason in equity why the Secretary of the Interior should approve these deeds and the provision that he should so do was wholly gratuitous on the part of congress and partakes of the nature of "malicious mischief."
In closing, I cannot forbear the remark that, with the exception of the outrage that was perpetrated on the Indians of the Five Civi- lized Tribes, in forcing them to share their lands with the negro slaves as a penalty for having espoused the cause of the once glor- ious and ever immortal Southern Confederacy — with this exception, the greatest curse that has fallen to the Indians since they were rob- bed of the main bulk of their estate east of the Mississippi, is the annoying, long distance, restrictive supervision of the federal govern- ment over the little that is left to them.
The courts have held that the United States stands in loco par- entis to the Indians. It is a significant fact, whatever right of guard- ianship the government has, existed at a time when the Indian was a naked and untutored savage, and so greatly needed the guidance of the paternal hand of the "Great White Father." But that hand was then lifted to smite him, and, now that the restraining hand is no longer needed, the Indian is surfeited by unsolicited solicitude and in the language of Shakespeare 'he dies of much cherishing.'
The Indians of Oklahoma are amply able to taKe care of them- selves, and if the restrictions were lifted from all their lands, the in- flux of home builders would double the price of land in the east side of the state.
There are thousands of acres of Indian land clearly alienable, but the lack of confidence in titles that exists in the minds of non-resi- dent investors, through their failure to discriminate between good and bad Indian titles, keeps the market price down, and allows the "graft- ers" to secure the land at a nominal price.
Bars make a prison though they be bars of gold; and the bonds that bind a man whose soul cries out for liberty become shackles of servitude, whether they be the hand of a marshal or the annoying supervision of a misguided federal government.
The spirit of liberty was not born in the breasts of the Revolu- tionary patriots — it was indigenous to the soil; and the wild out-cry for 'Liberty or Death' was equally well expressed by the twang of every bow-string that answered the crack of the invader's rifle; and the same spirit burns today in the breast of every proud Indian citi- zen of Oklahoma and will smoulder there until the restrictions are re- moved.

GAME AND FISH WARDEN DEPARTMENT.
While Cassius M. Barnes was territorial governor, the legisla- ture established a game and fish department and provided for its maintenance from funds derived from fines assessed against those guilty of violating the game laws. This failed to provide adequate funds for the successful enforcement of the game law and the conduct of the ofiice. The 1909 legislature passed a game law, known as the Keys bill, providing for the issuing of hunting licenses for resident, non- resident and alien hunters. The money derived from the sale of these licenses was to be placed in the game protection fund for the support of the department. This law, with a few minor amendments passed since, is now in force.
Since statehood three men have held the position of game and fish warden: J. S. Askew of Chickasha, appointed by Governor C. N. Haskell, who served until January 21, 1911; Lon M. Frame of Ardmore, who occupied the position for about sixty days and resigned to become chairman of the state board of public affairs; and John B, Doolin of Alva.
The work done by the department in the past two years is shown by the following report:
Resident hunting licenses issued from June 9, 1909, to June 1, 1911, 125,000 at $1.00 each, $125,000; non-resident hunting licenses issued June 9, 1909, to June 1, 1911, 415 at $15.00 each, $6,225.00; alien hunting licenses issued June 9, 1909, to June 11, 1911, 4 at $25.00 each, $100.00; number of arrests and convictions for violating state game laws, 450, amount collected from fines assessed, $2,320.00; total amount of money collected and deposited with the State Treasurer from June 9, 1909, to June 1, 1911, $133,645.00; amount of money ex- pended for conduct of state game and fish warden's department, including money expended for propagating purposes from June 9,
1909, to June 1, 1911, $30,908.00; number of live pheasants distributed throughout the state from June 1, 1910, to June 1, 1911, 2,500; num- ber of pheasant eggs distributed throughout the state from June 1,
1910, to June 1, 1911, 60,000; number of live pheasants now in the state, 40,000; number of fish distributed throughout the state, black bass and croppie, 30,000.
Warden John B. Doolin has reorganized and systematized the state game and fish warden's department since his incumbency. He has districted the state into twelve districts, containing from six to ten counties in each district. Each district deputy warden recom- mends the appointment of a sufficient number of assistant game and fish wardens to properly police the state and enforce the law in the territory assigned them.

NATIONAL GUARD.
The National Guard of Oklahoma consists of one regiment of infantry, one detachment of engineers, signal corps, and sanitary troops, which are attached to the first infantry. The total numerical strength of the organization is 1,012 commissioned and enlisted men, 60 officers and 952 enlisted men.
The Governor of the state is commander-in-chief of the militia, and as such has supreme command of the military forces of the state while in the service of the state, or until they are ordered and accepted into service of the United Stats. The adjutant general is in control of the military department of the state and is subordinate only to the governor in matters pertaining to the department.
The militia of the state is divided into two classes, the active and reserve militia. The active militia consists of the organized and uni- formed military forces of the state, which is known as the Oklahoma National Guard. The reserve militia consists of all those liable to service in the militia, or all able bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 years who are or who have declared their intention of be- coming citizens and not serving in a National Guard of a State.
Under provisions of the state law, there is an annual muster and' camp of instruction of the Oklahoma National Guard at Chandler, Okla., where the state rifle range is located, or such other place as may be ordered by the Governor or Adjutant General.

DEPARTMENT OF THE STATE GEOLOGIST.
The territorial legislature of 1899 passed an act creating the oflBce of State Geologist, but provided that the office should be held by the pro- fessor of biology and kindred sciences of the State University and that he should serve without pay. The department was thus established at Norman. The geologist was at that time directed to begin and continue the geological survey of the state by counties or districts. The state geologist is also curator of the geological cabinet, museum, apparatus and library. The third state legislature provided for an enlargement of the bureau and appropriated a considerable amount of funds for the benefit of the department.

UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA
(Norman, Okla.)
The State University was founded by an act of the legislature of the Territory of Oklahoma, entitled "An Act to Locate and Establish the University of Oklahoma." The act provided that when Ten Thou- sand Dollars and forty acres of land should be given to the Territory of Oklahoma by the City of Norman, the school should be located at that place. These requirements were met and the university was established in 1892. The university is a part of the public educational system of the state and the governing board of the institution is the State Board of Education, consisting of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and six members, appointed by the governor.
In the spring of 1893, work was begun on the first building. The institution was organized in the following summer, and in September opened its doors. Colleges and schools have developed in the follow- ing order: The College of Arts and Sciences, 1893, four-year plan; the School of Pharmacy, two-year plan, 1893, four-year plan, 1908; graduate work, 1899, the graduate school being organized separately in 1909; the School of Medicine, first two years' work, 1900, third and fourth years, 1910; the School of Fine Arts, 1903; the School of Applied Science and the School of Mines, 1904, reorganized as the College of Engineering, 1909; the summer session, 1908; the School of Law, 1909; and the School of Teaching, 1909.
David Ross Boyd was president of the university from 1892 to 1908. Arthur Grant Evans was elected to the presidency in June, 1908, hold- ing until 1910, when J. C. Monnett was made acting president.

STATE MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Norman and Oklahoma City, Okla.
The State Medical School was originally made a part of the State University at Norman. The last two years of the course was given at Oklahoma City, the division line being drawn in a general manner after the idea that the clinical work be given at the latter place, in order that patients might be obtained for demonstration. Arrange- ment was made that these years of the course of study should be fol- lowed at Epworth University, with the preliminary two at Norman. This arrangement continued until the fall of 1911, when provision was made for the last two years of study to be followed at Rolater's Hos-

UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY SCHOOL.
The Oklahoma University Preparatory School was founded and located at Tonkawa by the following enactment of the Territorial Legislature of 1901:
"There is hereby created and established a University Prepara- tory School for the Territory of Oklahoma, which shall be located within one mile from the corporate. limits of the town of Tonkawa, in Kay County, in the Territory of Oklahoma, to be known as the Univer- sity Preparatory School."
Complying with the conditions of the Act creating the school, the town of Tonkawa donated tw^enty acres of land adjoining the town to the east. Upon this site the first Board of Regents constructed a sub- stantial four-story building, 54x96 feet, of limestone and pressed brick, which cost $23,000.00
The Legislature of 1905 gave the school an appropriation of $60,- 000.00 for additional buildings. The heating plant and south hall were begun in September, 1906, and were finished about one year later.
The Enabling Act gave to the school 150,000 acres of lands in western Oklahoma.
A special Act of Congress, approved June, 1911, donated the school section thirty-three, adjacent to the town of Tonkawa, for building pur- poses. The Legislature ratified this donation and loaned the school enough money to pay for the improvements on the land. In the fall of 1909 this land, with the exception of forty acres which was retained for additional campus, was sold at public auction, the loan returned to the State, and plans perfected for the erection of two new buildings from the proceeds. These buildings, a boys' gymnasium, costing $18,- 00 and a class room building, costing $44,000, have been completed. The gymnasium has been in use during the last year and the class room building will be ready for occupancy this fall.

EASTERN UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY SCHOOL.
The Eastern University Preparatory School, at Claremore, Okla- homa, was established by Act of the Legislature of 1909. Under the terms of this Act, thirty thousand dollars was appropriated for a main building and thirty-two thousand dollars for the years 1909-1910, and 1910-1911 for maintenance, conditioned upon the presentation of a site by the City of Claremore of not less than thirty-five acres of land. Immediately upon the acceptance of the site by the Board of Regents, the city of Claremore offered its spacious and commodious High School building for the use of teachers and students until the State building was completed. The extraordinary session of the Legis- lature of 1910 appropriated an additional sum of thirty-eight thousand dollars for building and equipment. Twenty thousand dollars of this sum has been used in enlarging the building and the remainder di- vided into two portions — eleven thousand five hundred dollars for the heating plant and six thousand five hundred for equipment.

OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE
Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The State Agricultural and Mechanical College is a State and Federal institution of higher learning, offering industrial, scientific and liberal education to white persons fourteen years of age or over. It also conducts extensive investigations and carries forward research work to establish new scientific truths of value to the people of Oklahoma.
The college was organized in 1891 and located at Stillwater, Payn© County, and after twenty years of sturdy effort, now consists of sixty- one professors and instructors, 1,848 students attending last year, eleven large brick and stone buildings, with equipment valued at $175,000, and 1,000 acres of land.
Tuition is free in all courses and departments. The college is supported by the federal, government and by the state of Oklahoma as a part of the free school system. It owes its origin to a bill of- fered by Unite! States Senator Morrill, of Vermont, in 1862, which provided funds to' one such institution of learning in each state of the union, and set aside certain public lands from which endowments have come to each of these state and federal colleges. Therefore, these institutions are known as "The Land Grant Colleg?s." The Na- tional Grange gave the "Morrill Bill'' ccdial support and was largely instrumental in securing its final passage.
This Act of Congress, approved July 2, 1862, gave to each state which accepted its provisions, 30,000 acres of government land for each representative in Congress, the proceeds to be applied to the en- dowment and maintenance of colleges.
"Where the leading object shall be, without excluding the other scientific and classic studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and mechanic arts * * * in order to promote the liberal and practical educa- tion of the industrial classes in the various pursuits and professions of life."
Again, in 1887, Congress provided for an agricultural experiment station in connection with each of the land grant colleges.
The first legislature of the Territory of Oklahoma adopted a res- olution assenting to and accepting the provisions of Congress and established the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, De- cember 25, 1890. Congress, also, provided 250.000 acres of land as a permanent endowment for the college in the Enabling Act, granting statehood to Oklahoma.
176 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
The Oklahoma constitution provides that the State Board of Ag- riculture shall be the Board of Regents of the A. & M. College.
The college carries on many lines of work not commonly known as school work, though truly educational in all respects. The manage- ment assists in the educational work in behalf of grown people who may lack spare time to attend college, by sending oat point ted and practical literature, by supplying well informed lecturers to popular gatherings and to meetings of farmers' and teachers' institutes or other conventions, under conditions favorable to profitable presenta- tion and discussion of the subjects. The acts of Congress and the state legislature make certain forms of this college extension work obligatory.
Land and Buildings.
The campus, farm, and experiment grounds embrace a tract of 1,000 acres. The present buildings were erected by the state at a cost of over $341,000, and they are euipped with the latest and best appliances and apparatus, representing an outlay by the state and federal governments of approximately $175,000. All buildings are steam heated, electric lighted, and have sewer connections. The do- mestic Science Hall and girls' dormitory cost $62,000. This new build- ing is the most complete, modern and convenient structure on the college grounds.
Twenty-five thousand dollars has been devoted to the erection of a dormitory hall, to be used as a home for young men.
The college has a library of 14,120 volumes, besides some 30,000 unbound publications. All of the desirable current publications are received. Two specially fitted rooms of large dimensions are de- voted to library use.

CENTRAL STATE NORMAL
Edmond. Oklahoma.
The Central Normal School was located at Edmond by the Ter- ritorial Legislature of 1890, providing for the instruction of both men and women in the art of teaching, and in all branches of learning which pertain to a good common school education, also to give instruc- tion in the theory and practice of teaching. For the purpose of lo- cating the school, forty acres was furnished, lying within one mile of the city of Edmond. Ten. acres of the land were reserved as a site for the buildings, the remainder being platted into lots and blocks for sale, from which funds were received to aid the support of the in- stitution, according to the provisions of the act passed.
The property of the State at the institution now consists of thir- teen acres of land, two three-story buildings and a heating plant, with furniture and equipment. The Territory of Oklahoma appropriated approximately $55,000.00 for buildings, the County of Oklahoma gave $5,000 in bonds, and the city of Edmond gave $2,000 in bonds. Twenty- seven of the original forty acres were platted and sold, the money derived from the sales being used in the construction of the North building.
Estimated Value of Property.
Thirteen acres of land $50,000.00
South building 37,500.00
North building. 30,000.00
Heating plant 10,000.00
Furniture and equipment 23,000.00
Total $151,000.00
The first Normal building, constructed of brick, was completed in 1893; the wings, built of stone, were erected in 1894 and 1895. In order to raise the money for this building, the Board of Regents sold the platted lots and the legislature appropriated $15,000. The North building thus constructed, contains sixteen class rooms, a large room for the manual training department, antl a large gymnasium.
To relieve the crowded condition and to increase the facilities for instruction, the legislature in 1903 made an appropriation of $40,000 for the erection of an additional building. The structure is of pressed brick and stone. It has an assembly room with a seating capacity of 800 persons, two laboratories, reception hall, president's office, reading room, and thirteen recitation rooms.
The institution is equipped with four laboratories— chemical, phy- sical, agricultural and biological.
A manual training school with a kindergarten department has been established.

EAST CENTRAL STATE NORMAL
Ada, Oklahoma.
On the last day of the regular session of the Second Legislature a bill was passed, creating the sixth State Normal School and locating it at Ada, the county seat of Pontatoc County. The bill carried an appropriation of $100,000 for the erection of a building.
The general appropriation bill had already been passed and no provision was made for maintenance and equipment. The citizens of Ada were enxious to have the school start on an equal footing with other new normals, and they proposed to the Board of Regents to advance the money necessary for the conduct of the school until the legislature should meet and make an appropriation. The board then elected a president and faculty, and the first session of the school opened September 20, 1909, in the Ada High School building, which had just been completed.
The first year's work was fraught with the usual difficulties incident to perfecting the organization and woi'king with inadequate equipment. But in spite of these difficulties, 5lt) pupils were enrolled representing twenty-one counties of Oklahoma and eight different states. At the close of the opening term, six pupils completed the course of study and were granted diplomas.
The contract for the new building was let in October, 1909, and was completed in July, 1910. The campus comprises twenty acres, donated by the citizens of Ada. The building is a magnificent struc- ture of pressed brick and reinforced concrete construction, including thirty-nine recitation rooms, offices and other apartments, with a large library, and an assembly hall with a seating capacity of 2.000 persons.
The special session of the legislature, which was convened in 1910, made an appropriation for maintenance and equipment. The bill carried $15,000 for equipment and furniture. This amount 'has been expended in equipping the departments of domestic science, manual training, physics, chemistry, biology and agriculture.
The object of the school, as instituted by law, is to prepare teach- ers for service in the schools of the state.
The Third Legislature appropriated .$60,000 for the conduct of the school for the next two years. This is derived in part from the gen- eral fund and in part from revenue derived from rentals.
The State Board of Education announced the following faculty for the school year beginning July 1, 1911:

NORTHEASTERN STATE NORMAL
Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
The Northeastern State Normal was established at Tahlequah by an act of the State Legislature in March, 1909. The bill establishing the school carried an appropriation of $45,000 for the purchase of the Cherokee National Female Seminary building and forty acres of land belonging thereto. There was also appropriated at the same time the sum of $70,000 for maintenance the first two years. The Board of Regents met at Guthrie April 7, 1909, and elected the first faculty.
The building is a three-story brick and stone structure, steam heated, and supplied with pure spring water. The building is the larg- est single school structure in the State and was erected in 1889, by the Cherokee Nation, at a cost of $100,000.
Tahlequah is located thirty-five miles east of Muskogee and the same distance from the eastern line of the State. It is seventy-five miles south of the Kansas line, is the county seat of Cherokee County, and the capital of the old Cherokee Nation. Its location makes it an ideal college town. The natural scenery is unexcelled and the eleva- tion insures excellent drainage and a pleasant and healthful climate.

NORTHWESTERN STATE NORMAL
Alva, Oklahoma.
The Northwestern State Normal School was established by an act of the Territorial Legislature in 1897, and was located at Alva. When the school was established at Alva the town was very small, but it has grown repidly, until it has a population of over 6,000.
An act of the first legislature of the State of Oklahoma has con- firmed the Northwestern Normal School as one of the permanent state educational institutions. The school has been enlarged by the ad dition of many important departments of instruction, and is prepared to offer its students enlarged opportunities for education such as will enable its graduates to measure up to the modern requirements of intensive, as well as extensive scholarship.
The central heating plant, erected at a cost of $20,000, is designed to furnish heat to the buildings now in use or to such as may here- after be constructed. The boilers and engines are of ample capacity, and the design of the buildings includes room for the electric plant soon to be installed.
The school plant at present consists of three buildings situated upon a beautiful tract of forty acres on the south side of town.
The first normal building was erected in 1898, at a cost of more than $100,000 and is easily the handsomest school edifice in the south- west. This building is occupied by the departments of English, mathematics, history, geography, oratory, music, fine arts, domestic science and art, agriculture and commercial department, and the administrative offices of the president and registrar. An auditorium with a seating capacity of 800 is the most conspicuous feature of the interior of the building.
The science hall is a commodious building devoted to the depart- ments of biology, physical science, manual training, pedagogy and training school, and the library. It is fitted with ample equipment in laboratories for chemistry, physics, zoology, and botany, with the museum of natural history, and with shops of manual training.

SOUTHEASTERN STATE NORMAL
Durant, Oklahoma.
The Southeastern State Normal, located at Durant, a city of 8,000 inhabitants, was created by the First State Legislature. Appropria- tions were made in the sum of $100,000 for the administration build- ing, and a faculty of thirty, with M. E. Moore as president, was em- ployed for the first year. Particular stress is placed in the school upon the courses in physiology, history and philosophy of education, and the model school.
While the new administration building, privided for by the State, is in course of construction, the city of Durant has placed at the disposal of the normal school one of its public school buildings, to- gether with several private residences.

SOUTHWESTERN STATE NORMAL
Weatherford, Oklahoma.
Weatherford, the home of the Southwestern Normal School, is well located geographically for the students of western and south- western Oklahoma. The school has two buildings adequate for pres- ent needs. In 1903 the administration hall was built at the cost of $37,500. It has two full stories besides a basement and chapel, with a steating capacity of 500. With the exception of the president's suite of offices, this building is used as a recitation hall.
East of the administration building is science hall, completed in 1910, at a cost of $100,000. The training school and the auditorium, seating 1,750 persons, are in this hall.
Five thousand volumes are at the service of the student body in the library. English literature, German, philosophy, economics, soci- ology, education, psychology, history, agriculture, etc., treated by the best authors, are to be found.
A quarter mile oval running track, a baseball diamond, a football gridiron, tennis courts, basketball space, are among the conveniences which help the open air work of the student. Experienced coaches direct and supervise the athletic work.
As the school is liberal in education aside from that actually sought in books, all organizations which tend to develop the spiritual life are supported. A Young Men's Christian Association was organ- ized seven years ago, the Young Women's Christian Association one year later.

OKLAHOMA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE AND COLLEGE
FOR GIRLS
Chickasha, Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Industrial Institute and College for Girls had its origin in Senate Bill No. 249, introduced by Senator W. P. Stewart, of Hugo, and approved May 16, 1908. The institution was located by the legislature in the city of Chickasha, which donated twenty acres of land for the campus on the outskirts of the city, and another tract of one hundred and forty acres in the country. The value of the cam- pus is estimated at $20,000, and the outlying land at $12,000.
The first session of school opened in five rooms of the ChickasJia High School building, September 14, 1909. The second years' work, beginning September 20, 1910, was carried on in the First Baptist Church, in a near-by apartment house, and in rooms of the Chickasha Business College.
The administration building, costing $100,000, was dedicated with appropriate exercises, May 16, 1911, and, after a two years' career in scattered and rented quarters, the third session of the college opened in its own home, September 12, 1911.
In the spring of 1911, a landscape architect was employed to plat the grounds and the sites of the buildings which will necessarily fol- low in the development of the institution. Cement walks are to be laid, drives made and trees and shrubbery planted.
A special appropriations has been made for the library and liberal courses are offered in all departments, both literary and technical.
The enrollment for the session 1909-1910 was 120, and for the ses- sion 1910-11911, 138.

OKLAHOMA SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND
Fort Gibson, Oklahoma.
The origin of the institution, which has come to be known as the Oklahoma School for the Blind, is to be associated with the name of Miss Lura A. Rowland, now Mrs. Lura A. Lowrey. Mrs. Lowrey, a graduate of the Arkansas School for the Blind, undertook in 1897, the establishment of a school for the blind in the Indian Territory. The school was organized, having a board of directors, and was known as the International School for the Blind.
Mrs. Lowrey traveled extensively in the Territory, and by various means, secured funds with which to equip a building for formal open- ing. The school was formally opened at Fort Gibson, in what was known as the Barracks building, with an enrollment of ten pupils, January 3. 1898. For approximately ten years the school was con- ducted under the direct supervision of Mrs. Lowery. There were in all, eleven terms, comprising each from six weeks to nine months duration. The school, being a private institution, was supported by private and puolic subscription. The Cherokee and Choctaw Nations appropriated for several years from thhree to six hundred dollars per annum for the maintenance of the school. Mrs. Lowery made repeat- ed etiorts to secure an appropriation from Congress — all of which were unsuccessful.
Mrs. Lowery, having resigned, was succeeded by C. E. Harmon, July 1, 1907. He moved the school, December 14, from Fort Gibson to Wagoner, at which place it remained until July, 1908, when it was re- located at Fort Gibsun.
The First Legislature of the State of Oklahoma appropriated $5,000, the act being approved May 29, 1908, for the maintenance of "The Lura A. Lowery School for the Blind," and provided in the same act, that the school should be under the control of the State Board of Education. In July, 1908, George W. Bruce was elected, by the board, president of the school. Under the new management, the school was opened October 15, 1908, in two residence buildings, with an enroll- ment of thirty-three pupils. Bruce served as president of the school until June 30, 1911. During his three years' presidency, the maximum enrollment was forty-two. The State Board of Education, on May 25, 1911, elected as superintendent of the Oklahoma School for the Blind, which name was given to the institution, Oscar W. Stewart, who be- gan his duties July 1, 1911.
The Legislature of 1909 and 1911 each appropriated money for the maintenance of the school for the blind, but declined to perma- nently locate it. The school is being conducted in buildings formerly occupied by officers when a United States fort was maintained at Fort Gibson.
Superintendent Stewart is a graduate of the Texas School for the Blind, and has been for several years unofficially active in behalf of
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS 199
the welfare of this school. Upon taking charge, he immediately ar- ranged for other buildings and now there is capacity for sixty pupils. The State Board of Education prescribed the course of study in the literary department to be that of the common and high schools of the State, and plans are under way whereby the school will be technically articulated with the. State University. Thorough courses in music, piano tuning and repairing, weaving, sewing and typewrit- ing, are given in this school. The eligibility of pupils has been stated as follow^s: "All persons over six and under twenty-one years of age, who are of such mental and physical ability as to enable them to do systematic study, whose vision is so impaired as to make it impossible for them to attend the schools for the sighted, are proper persons to be received in the school for the blind."

COLORED AGRICULTURAL AND NORMAL UNIVERSITY
Langston, Oklahoma.
This institution was established at Langston by an act of the Territorial Legislature in 1897, for the purpose of giving the negroes of Oklahoma, normal collegiate, industrial and agricultural training. Forty acres of land for building and agricultural purposes were do- nated by the people of Langston and its immediate vicinity. The same legislature which established the school, appropriated the sum of $5,000 for its benefit, but this amount proved inadequate for the erection of a suitable building, the employment of teachers and the purchase of necessary aquipment. At this time, the land lease money was so divided among the territorial institutions as to make it pos- sible for the school to continue its work without serious embarass- ment until an appropriation could be made for its support by the next legislature.
The legislature which met in 1899, made an appropriation of $10,- 000 for building purposes, provided a tax levy on one-tenth of a mill, set apart one-fifth of the land lease money and one-tenth of the amount which was given the Territory annually by the Federal Government, in compliance with the Morrill Act, and made an appropriation of $15,000 from the accrued Morrill fund for the maintenance and equip- ment of the university.
Owing to the fact that this last appropriation was not approved by the Secretary of the Interior because he was of the opinion that it was made in violation of law, the regents, at the suggestion of Governor Barnes, adopted a resolution asking the delegate in Congress to introduce a bill providing for the ratification of that part of the act of the ligislature which contained the appropriation. The bill passed.
Two new buildings were then erected — a dormitory for young women and a mechanic arts building, and the amount of acreage was increased to one hundred and sixty acres.
The First Legislature of the State of Oklahoma appropriated a fraction over $40,000 for the maintenance of the university for the year 1908-1909, which amount, added to the income from the rental of section thirteen and from the Morrill fund, raised the total annual income to $48,000.
To relieve the crowded condition, due to the destruction by fire of the main building in November, 1907, and to the increased attend- ance, the same legislature, also, appropriated $100,000 for the erec- tion of a new main building and for additional improvements. The enrollment totals 673 students. The Second Legislature appropriated $85,000 for maintenance and improvements, and the Third. $82,400.

OKLAHOMA HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE
Supply, Oklahoma.
The territorial legislature in 1905 accepted an offer made by Congress to grant to the territory the use of Fort Supply Military Reservation and the buildings thereon for the purpose of an insane asylum. The site of the institution is one of considerable interest from an historical viewpoint. It is located in Woodward County.
Many of the expeditions of the United States regular army against the marauding bands of the socalled wild plains Indians used Fort Supply as their base of supply. General Custer, the noted Indian fighter, who later met death at the battle of the Little Big Horn, at one time was stationed for a short period on the reservation. The house used by him as his home is now the residence of Dr. E. G. New- ell, superintendent of the institution.
The management and control of the hospital is vested in the Board of Trustees, composed of the governor, who shall be ex-officio chairman, and two other persons of different political affiliations, ap- pointed by the governor.

OKLAHOMA SANITARIUM
Norman, Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma hospital for insane at Norman, Oklahoma, is lo- cated on a tract of land just east and immediately adjoining the City of Norman. The grounds are high and dry and command an excel- lent view of the -surrounding country.
The main building is of brick and stone, three stories and a basement. The front of the ground floor is used for offices, recep- tion rooms, prescription department, and laboratory; the basement for store room. The upper stories are used as wards for the care of the patients. m
Besides the main building there are three two-story and seven one-story buildings, which are" also used for wards. All of these are well lighted and ventilated. On the grounds there are two buildings for the officers and many others for commissary, work shops, stor- age roooms, etc., covering about thirty acres of ground. The rest of the vacant land is used for garden, parade grounds, etc.
During 1910 a large two-story building was added, which accom- modates about eighty patients. This building is used exclusively for the reception of new patients.

(Note) — This hospital is a private institution but appropriations are made by the legislature for the care of state patients who are con- fined there, it thus becoming a semi-state institution, ^he Territory cf Oklahoma made a contract with the company operating the institu- tion in May, 1901, for keeping the insane patients of the state until the state institution for the insane located at Fort Supply should be constructed. The original contract was for a term of four years but the legislature of 1903 extended the time of the contract until the state institution should be completed and a railroad built to Fort Supply. A gradual transfer of the patients is being made.

OKLAHOMA STATE CONFEDERATE HOME
Ardmore, Oklahoma.
By provision of an act of the state legislature in 1910, the prop- erty of the Confederate Veteran Home Association at Ardmore, Ok- lahoma, as designated and proposed in the articles of incorporation of that association, was made a charitable institution of the state, the state agreeing to maintain the home for a period of twenty-five years. The purpose of the institution, as outlined in the legislative enactment, is to care for the indigent and disabled soldiers and sailors who enlisted, served or participated as a soldier or sailor in the navy of the Confederate States during the Civil War, and also for the aged wives and widows of such soldiers and sailors.
The association conveyed to the state twenty acres of land and the legislature in turn provided an appropriation of twenty-thousand dollars for the support of the institution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911. The third legislature made an appropriation in 1911, of fifteen thousand dollars for each year of the biennial period, end- ing June 30, 1913, in H. B. No. 557, for the support and maintenance of the institution.
The control of the institution is vested in a board of control, composed of seven members. The names of the members of the board and their addresses are:

PENAL INSTITUTIONS 227
STATE PENITENTIARY
McAlester, Oklahoma.
In January, 1909, before the penitentiary buildings were completed six hundred and forty-three men were brought to McAlester from the Kansas State penitentiary, and were 1 eld in a temporary wooden cell house, without cells or protection of any kind of walls except a guard line of armed men. The prisoners were fed and housed at a great hazard. Time and again mutiny started and it required men of strong courage to stay among them and keep down attempts of concerted breaks. It is now looked upon as a miracle that the desperate crimi- nals were held by only a few men without a single escape. It was only by appealing to the better senses of the men and keeping them in good humor that a wholesale delivery was prevented.
As soon as arrangements could be made, a temporary wire fence was thrown around the buildings and charged with electricity. This fence was fourteen feet high, of barbed wire four inches apart. Pris- oners experimented with It until they found that to touch it meant death and after that time it became a secure wall.
Temporary cells and plumbing followed and attention was then turned to building the new penitentiary. As soon as plans could be completed and approved, the work of construction was begun in June, 1909. The prison walls enclose a fraction less than ten acres of ground. It is of concrete piers and slab3 eighteen feet above the grade line on the inside of the grounds, and twenty-four feet on the outside, and goes eight feet below the surface.
The State Board of Public Affairs advertised for bids in October, lyiU, for the administration building and the west cell wing. The admiii- istration building has a frontage of eighty feet, a depth of sixty-eight feet, and is two stories high with a basement. It is, also, built of concrete and ceiled throughout with tool proof grating.
The cell wing is 240 by 58 feet, four stories high and mostly of steel. The outside window gratings are twenty-eight feet high and of tool proof steel. The windows are operated by a patent window opening device. Between the guards and prisoners' corridors, tool proof grating is used. There are four tiers of cells on each side, each tier containing forty cells or three hundred and twenty in all. The cells are of Bessemer steel three-eighths of an inch in thickness with tool proof grating doors operated by a Pauly automatic device. The cell floor carries four inches of concrete and finish above the steel plate. Each cell is equipped with two bunks, toilet, lavatory and is lighted by electricity. The contract for these two buildings was awarded for a contract price of $267,000.00.
In March, 1911, the prisoners which were held at the old Federal jail in McAlester were moved to the new penitentiary.
The east cell wing is now under way of construction. The state is doing this work independent of contract. This cell wing is to be an exact duplicate of the west cell wing except the dungeons and work cells are to be in the basement.
228 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
The central rotunda is to be octagonal, sixty-eight feet in depth. All corridors lead to the central rotunda where all entrances will be operated by an automatic locking device from a central tower. From this central station all doors to the cell houses, administration build- ing, dining hall, chapel and school rooms as well as those leading to the grounds will be handled by this locking device. And all the prisoners passing in and out will be registered.
A temporary dining hall has been erected which seats the 1,063 prisoners now at the penitentiary. The laundry is in the rear of the temporary dining hall. A model prison hospital has also been planned and a power and storage plant where ice and electricity for the light and power service of the institution will be manufactured. It is now in course of construction. A woman's building, under separate wall, is also in course of construction. Six work shops also will be built inside of the north wall, each large enough to accommodate about one hundred men at work.
A force of nearly one hundred convicts were put to worK on the construction of roads around and through the farm and nearly fourteen miles of first class wagon road has been built. Pittsburg county furnished two bridges, and the roads are the best and most permanent in the state.
Tte farm is to be the chief support of the institution. Under the Constitution, convict labor is limited practically to farm and road work. In order to make the institution self sustaining, many departments have been planned for the farm. It is gradually being stocked with poultry and livestock. Several hundred head of fine hogs are raised each year, and all the meat for the institution in course of time will be produced upon this farm.
In order to properly drain and shape up the farm, it was found necessary to straighten creeks, and drains, and in places to construct entirely new ones. About two miles of this work was done, some of it very heavy, creeks being walled to a depth of ten or twelve feet, and old channels refilled.
In order to insure a permanent supply of water, an artificial lake has been constructed by building a dam between two hills. This lake will drain a water shed of 600 acres, and when filled will cover about ten acres to a maximum depth of eighteen feet. It is proposed to establish a water system which will serve to irrigate a portion of the penitentiary farm, as well as furnish water for domestic purposes.
The first year the farm was put in cultivation proved very suc- cessful, although the season was a bad one, and a large amount of vegetables and forage was raised. A large force of prisoners are still engaged in improving the farm, and also in excavating and grad- ing around the penitentiary property.
There have been five wagon bridges constructed along the road surrounding the farm, and several more are contemplated. This work was done entirely with prison labor.
From the beginning of the penitentiary, a prison shoe shop has been operated, wherein all the shoes used by inmates of the institution are manufactured.
A tailor shop is also in operation in which is manufactured all of the underwear, shirts, overalls, caps, and a large portion of the prison clothing. It is proposed to enlarge this department in order that all of the clothing used by the inmates may be made by them.
A large amount of sugar cane was raised during the past year, and a cane mill was installed. This mill enabled the officers to make sufficient molasses to supply the needs of the prison.
PENAL INSTITUTIONS 229
Eighl hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been appropriated for penitentiary building purposes, of which about $650,000 has been expended in the erection of said buildings and improvements up to the present time, and $20,000 which was appropriated for the pur- chase of. land, has also been expended.
It is estimated that the balance in the above mentioned appropria- tion will complete the rotunda, east cell wing, power plant, mess hall, hospital, woman's building' and stables, all of which are now in course of construction.
Owing to the fact that all of the common labor used in the con- struction of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary was done by convicts, the estimated value of the buildings are far in excess of their actual cost.
An estimated value of the land, buildings which have been erected and are now in course of erection, and improvements, follow^:
Administration building $ 250,000.00
West cell wing 200,000.00
Rotunda and east cell wing (to date) 150,000.00

OKLAHOMA STATE REFORMATORY
Granite, Oklahoma.
An act creating and locating the Oklahoma State Reformatory was passed by the Second State Legislature in 1908, and an appropria- tion of $50,000 made for buildings and equipment. Temporary build- ings were erected and the first installment of prisoners were received by transfer from the McAlester penitentiary in April, 1910.
The Third Legislature made an appropriation of $325,000 for per- manent buildings which are now under construction.
First term prisoners, sixteen to twenty-five years of age inclusive, and not to exceed five-year sentences, are eligible to admission to this institution either by direct commitment of the courts or by order of the Board of Prison Control.
The institution is now governed by the same laws that apply to the State Penitentiary, but as soon as suitable buildings and facilities are provided the legislature will be asked to enact special measures that will enable the institution to be conducted as a modern reform- atory.
The number of inmates (June 30, 1911) was 361. There are about 150 more at the State Penitentiary eligible for admission who cannot be transferred on account of insufficient quarters.
Sam M. Flournoy of Elk City, Okla., was appointed warden at the creation of the institution. He was succeeded in September, 1910, by Clyde A. Reed of Mountain View, the present warden.

OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Oklahoma Historical Society was organized at a meeting of the Territorial Press Association in Kingfisher, May 27, 1893, and was inaugurated as an adjunct to that body under the title, "Historical Society of the Oklahoma Press Association."
W. P. iCampbell, at that time connected with the register of deeds office at Kingfisher, undertook the prosecution of the work. J. B. Camp- bell, a brother, now a member of the State legislature, was register. He offered room in the register's office for storage. Effort was made to collect and preserve copies of every publication in the commonwealth, including the Indian Territory so that a file could always be found for future generations and incidentally to collect and preserve all other matters of a historic, relic or curious interest.
During the legislature of 1895, a similar, society was organized by the faculty and students of the University at Norman. Custodian Campbell co-operated with the new organization, an appropriation was secured, and the collection was taken to Norman where it remained until completion of the Carnegie building at Oklahoma City, which institution sought and obtained through a special act removal of headquarters to the present location in the Carnegie building.
It was made the trustee of the State in caring for valuable docu- ments by the Territorial Legislature of 1895, which provided in the session laws of that year that it should be the duty of the- society to collect books, maps and other papers and materials illustrative of the history of Oklahoma in particular and the west generally; to procure from the early settlers narratives of events relative to the early settlement of Oklahoma and to the early explorations. Indian occupancy and overland travel in the State and the west; and to collect documents of a varied nature such as to facilitate the investigation of historical, scientific, social, educational and literary subjects.
The newspaper feature has always been zealously maintained, bo that there are now about six thousand bound volumes of these and kindred publications, and practically every publication, small and great, daily, weekly, monthly, etc., may be found on file as issued. Other features, however, have not been neglected, there being about twenty-five thousand titles covering every range of historic interest, the entire collection aggregating something like fourteen tons in weight.
On removal of the collection to Norman, Mr. Campbell was re- tired, and W. T. Little became custodian, retaining the place until it was brought to Oklahoma City, January 1, 1901. Sidney Clarke was given charge and was succeeded at the end of the year by Mrs. Marion Rock. June 1, 1904, Mr. Campbell was induced to again take charge of the work, and has remained with it since that date. Miss Edith Rose Kneen has been assistant for the last four years. The society is controlled by a board chosen at annual meetings of the members and is maintained by membership fees and State appro- priations. Slg. 18

OKLAHOMA IN THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
The outbreak of the Spanish-American war in 1898 found thous- ands of young men in the Indian Territory and Oklahoma eager to en- list m the military service. Under the first call for volunteers two troops of cavalry were authorized, one in each territory. Under the second call Oklahoma was to raise a battalion of four companies which became a part of the First Regiment of Territorial Volunteers the other two battalions being raised in Arizona and New Mexico A number of young men in both Indian Territory and Oklahoma enhsted m the volunteer service from adjoining states
The First Regiment of United State Volunteer Cavalry, since become famous as Roosevelt's Rough Riders' had in its consist several Oklahoma volunteers. A part of the regiment saw active service in Cuba, at Las Guasimas, El Caney and San Juan Hill.
The Oklahoma troop was commanded by Captain Robert B. Huston of Guthrie. An attorney by profession, he took great interest in military affairs and held the rank of lieutenant colonel in the first mihtia regiment organized in Oklahoma. In the battle of San Juan Hill, he was m command of his battalion after Major Brodie was wounded. After the close of the war with Spain, he was re-com- missioned in the United States Volunteers for service in the Philio- pines where he died in 1900.
Captain Allyn K. Capron, who organized and commanded the Indian Territory troop was born in 1870. His father was an officer in the regular army and he chose to follow the same profession. He enlisted in the regular army as a private and won his commission by promotion from the ranks, and was first lieutenant in the First Regular Cavalry, stationed at Fort Reno, at the outbreak of the war He was killed in the battle of San Juan Hill. Captains Huston and Capron were both regarded as fine officers and held the respect of their men.
Oklahoma was a young commonwealth when the bugle sounded the call to war, but the pulses of many Oklahoma school boys were quickened by its notes. Among those who heard and answered the call was Roy Cashion of Hennessey, who had been graduated from the public schools of that town only the year before. Though but eighteen years old, he volunteered under the first call, and was enrolled and mustered into the service as a private in' the First Regiment of United States Volunteer Cavalry. With that command he went from the rendezvous at San Antonio, Texas, to Tampa Florida, and thence to the southern coast of Cuba with the army under General Shaffer. Beneath the tropical July sun on the charge up San Juan Hill, young Cashion was stricken with a Mauser bullet from the rifle of a Spanish sharp shooter— the first Oklahoma school boy to give his life for his country on a foreign soil.
Buried by his comrades where he fell, the markings of his grave were lost for a time, and his father made a second trip to Cuba before it was found and identified. After the removal and re-interment of his body in the sun-kissed soil of his prairie homeland, the people

of the community raised a subscription, which was afterwards sup- plemented by a legislative appropriation for the purpose of erecting a monument to his memory.
The First Regiment of United States Volunteer Cavalry on the first call received a contingent of eighty men from Oklahoma. The officers commissioned for this troop and the men mustered in were as follows:
Robert B. Huston, captainn.

OKLAHOMA INDIANS IN MILITARY SERVICE DURING THE CIVIL WAR
In all there were some twenty organizations effected among the Indian tribes of the Indian Territory for service with the Con- federate army. It is probable that the total number of Indians engaged in the war on the Confederate side was between 6,000 and 7,000.
The following list of such organizations has been compiled by the office of the Adjutant General of the United States army:
First Cherokee Cavalry Battalion, Maj. Benj. W. Meyer; First Cherokee Cavalry Battalion, Maj. J. M. Bryan; First Cherokee Mounted Rifles (also called the Second — see Drew's Cherokee Mounted Rifles); First Cherokee Mounted Rifles, Col. Stand Watie; First Chickasaw Cavalry Battalion, Lieut. Col. Joseph D. Harris; First Chickasaw Cavalry Regiment, Col. Wm. L. Hunter; First Choctaw Cavalry Bat- talion (afterward the First Choctaw War Regiment), Lieut. Col, Franceway Battice; First Choctaw Battalion (afterwards Third Choc- taw Regiment), Lieut. Col. Jackson McCurtain; First Choctaw and Chickasaw Mounted Rifles, Col. Douglas H. Cooper; First Choctaw Cavalry War Regiment (in 1864 known as the Second Choctaw Regi- ment), Col. Simpson N. Folsom; First Choctaw Cavalry Regiment, Col. Sampson Folsom; First Seminole Cavalry Battalion (afterwards known as tie First Seminole Regiment), Lieut. Col. John Jumper; First Creek Cavalry Battalion, Lieut. Col. Chilly Mcintosh; First Creek Regiment, Col. Daniel N. Mcintosh; Second Cherokee Mounted Rifles, Col. William P. Adair; Second Creek Regiment, Col. Chilly Mcintosh; Third Choctaw Regiment (formerly First Choctaw Bat- talion), Col. Jack&on McCurtain; Cherokee Battalion, Maj. Moses C. Frye, MaJ. Joseph A. Scales; Chickasaw Cavalry Battalion, Lieut. Col. Martin Sheco; Drew's Cherokee Mounted Rifles (called First and Second), Col. John Drew; Osage Battalion, Maj. Arm Broke.
Both officers and men of these organizations were members of the various tribes among which they were respectively recruited, wit'i the exception, however, of Col. Douglas H. Cooper, of the F irst Choctaw and Chickasaw Mounted Rifle Regiment. He was a white man, who had been the United States Indian Agent for the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes at the outbreak of the war, and was eventually promoted to the rank of Brigadier General.
The Indians who were in the service of the Union Army during the war were organized into three regiments, known as the First, Second, and Third Regiments of the Indian Home Guards. They were recruited principally in the Cherokee, Creek and Seminole Nations, though other tribes were represented, and there were a few Indians who enlisted with Kansas regiments.
The First Regiment, Indian Home Guards, consisted mainly of members of the Creek Nation, and its aggregate strength was sixty- four officers and 1784 enlisted men.
246 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
The Second Regiment was composed principally of Cherokee and Osage Indians, its total force being sixty-six officers and 1835 enlisted men.
The Third Regiment was recruited mostly among the Cherokee and Creek, and its complete enrollment was fifty-two officers and 1437 enlisted men. Possibly two-thirds of the officers of these regiments were white men. There is no record of the tribal military organizations which supported the cause of the Union. The total number of the tribes then residing in the Indian Territory who served in the Union Army probably did not exceed 6,000.
The three regiments of the Home Guards, which composed a brigade in the Union Army, participated in twenty-eight battles, besides many lesser skirmishes, and it is probable that the Indians in the Confederate Army took part in a greater number of battles, as some of them were organized and placed in the field much earlier in the war. The total number of Indians who gave their lives in the struggle, including those killed in battle and those who died from wounds and disease, was over 1,000.

CHRONOLOGICL HISTORY OF OKLAHOMA
The first known inhabitants of Oklahoma were the Osage, Quapaw, Caddo, Wichita, Waco, Tawakony, Kiowa, Comanche, the Apache of the Plains and several other tribes of Indians.
1528-1536. — Four survivors of Cabeca de Vaca's expedition, captured by the Indians, first saw the buffalo in the Red River valley and are supposed to have been taken through a portion of Oklahoma.

OKLAHOMA AMONG THE SOUTHERN STATES
(By Chas. N. Gould, former State Geologist.)
You don't have to misrepresent Oklahoma; if you tell half the truth people won't believe you.
No equal area that the sun shines upon, during recorded history, has made such rapid material progress as has the state of Oklahoma, during the last decade. Her history reads like a romance. Those of us who have been actively engaged in aiding this development as well as those from other states who have watched tl. e progress of Oklahoma, often stand aghast before the wonderful latent possibilities of the state.
Relative Rank.
It is not easy to attempt to condense into a single paragraph a statement of the wonderful resources of Oklahoma and their develop- ment. Some idea of conditions may be gained by reference to the government census reports recently issued, where it is shown that during the past ten years, among the sixteen states represented at the Southern Commercial Congress, Oklahoma ranks as follows:
First in percentage of increase of population of the state, 110%.
First in percentage of increase of population of two chief cities, Oklahoma City having 549'/r, and Muskogee 494%.
First in percentage of increase of value of farm crops, 242%.
First in percentage of increase of wheat raised, 56%.
First in percentage of increase of cotton raised, 176%.
First in percentage of increase of railroad mileage, 154%.
First in percentage of increase in lumber cut, 9017c.
First in percentage of increase in corn raised, 921%.
First in percentage of increase in bank deposits, 1033%.
First among the southern states in the amount of petroleum pro- duced during the past four years.
First in the amount of natural gas in sight.
First in the total amount of available fuel.
First in the total amount of asphalt.
First in the total amount of glass sand.
First in the total amount of gypsum.
First in the amount of salt.
First in the total amount of mineral products.
First in the total amount of wl eat raised.
And first in the number of acres of fertile soil lying idle.
If you exclude Texas, our neighbor state on the South, with an area nearly four times our own, and Missouri, with an area nearly as large, and with nearly 100 years of development, Oklahoma ranks,
First in corn.
First in oats.
First in cattle.
260 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
Excluding Texas, Missouri and Georgia, the Empire state bf the South, Oklahoma, is, First in hogs. First in miles of railroad.
And excluding Texas, Missouri and West Virginia, she is. First in assessed valuation.
History.
Twenty-one years ago the greater part of Oklahoma was bare prairie or unbroken forest. In the eastern part of the state, which was owned and occupied by Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes, there were few small villages, little more than trading posts, built up largely of wooden shacks. Western Oklahoma was then totally unset- tled. In April, 1889, the first land in the Territory of Oklahoma was thrown open to settlement. Cities sprang up as if by magic. An area half as large as that of the State of Maryland was settled in a day. From time to time, various Indian reservations were thrown open to the public and cities sprang up over night. During the past ten years tie land of the Five Civilized Tribes in eastern Oklahoma has iieen allotted and much of it made available for purchase. Farms have been improved, mines and quarries have been opened, factories erected, railroads built and cities have grown, until, today, Oklahoma stands at the forefront of the sisterhood of states.
Topography.
Oklahoma is larger than any state east of the Mississippi river; the total area being 70,740 square miles. Generally speaking, the state is a level plain, sloping from an elevation of about 5,500 feet above sea level in the northwest corner to less than 400 feet in the southeast corner. Western Oklahoma is a flat or rolling prairie. In southern and eastern Oklahoma, this plain is interrupted by a number of ranges of high hills, dignified by the term mountains. These are known as the Wichita, Arbuckle, Quachita, and Ozark mountains. The eastern half of the state contains forests of pine, oak and hickory. Western Oklahoma contains little timber except along the streams.
Rainfall and Soil.
Three-fourths of the state has an abundant rainfall, varying from 40 inches in the southeastern corner to 25 inches near the western line. The extreme northwestern part of the state, old "No Man's Land," lies in the semi-arid region of the Plains, the rainfall varying from 10 to 25 inches per annum.
Oklahoma is well watered by streams. Ten large rivers cross the state. All the drainage is into the Mississippi through the Arkansas or Red rivers. The chief tributaries to the Arkansas are the Grand, Verdigris, Poteau, South Canadian. North Canadian, Cimarron and Salt Fork. The chief tributaries of the Red are the Kiamichi, Blue, Boggy and Washita. The general course of these streams is from northwest to southeast across the state. In each stream valley there is a broad belt of exceedingly fertile bottom land, averaging from one to three miles in width. The upland soil throughout tl e greater part of the state is very feitile. In western Oklahoma much of the soil is red, which color is due to the large percentage of iron which it contains. Eastern Oklahoma contains several large areas of limestone soil.

The happy combination of abundant rainfall, warm climate and fertile soil, all conspire to render Oklahoma one of the most productive of the agricultural states. Practica'ly everyt'. ing that is cultivated between the Canadian line and the Gulf of Mexico, and between the Atlantic and the Rocky mountains can be raised in Oklahoma. The four staples are corn, wheat, cotton and oats. In 1910, Oklahoma led the southern states in the production of wiieat, more than 2.5,000,000 bushels being harvested. She ranks second in the production of oats, with 23,000.000 bushels; fourth in the production of corn with 92,000,000 bushels; and fifth in the production of cotton with yBii.uuu oaies. lu addition to these crops, Oklahoma ranks first in the production of bropmcorn and among the first in the production of alfalfa. Many of her farmers have become wealthy shipping potatoes to northern mar- kets, two crops a year being produced. Truck and vegetables are grown in all localities. The wild hay crop every year adds hundreds of thousands of dollars to the total wealth of the state.
Practically all kinds of fruits grow well. The apples of eastern Oklahoma rival those raised in the famous Ozark country of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, this section of the state being a part of "the land of the big red apples." Elberta peaches, the finest raised in the Mississippi valley, grow big as pint cups, and are often a drug on the market at fifty cents a bushel. Cherries, plums, pears, grapes and fruits of all kinds grow in the greatest profusion. Pecans, walnuts and other nuts are abundant.
It must not be imagined for an instant, however, that Oklahoma has yet come into her own in the matter of agricultural development. The State Board of Agriculture is authority for the statement that at the present time, taking into consideration all known data, only about 24% of the tillable land in the state is yet in cultivation. That is to say, three-fourths of our acreage, which includes much of the finest agricultural land in the United States, is still lying idle.
Live Stock.
In former years, Oklahoma was the stockman's paradise. Before the opening of the country to settlement, great herds of long-horned, Texas cattle roamed at will over the broad" prairies. The nutritious grasses, indigenous to our soil, and the abundant water supply, made Oklahoma the best cattle country in the world. These conditions have passed. Instead of the half-wild, long-horned cattle, we have well-kept herds of Herefords and Jerseys; instead of the tough and wirey cow pony, the draft horse and the racer; and instead of the wild hog, the Poland China and Berkshire. In 1910, Oklahoma ranked third among the southern states in the number of cattle and fourth in the number of hogs produced.
Mineral Wealth,
No state in the Union possesses a greater variety or larger amount of undeveloped mineral wealth than does Oklahoma. During the past three years she has led the United States in the production of petro- leum, and last year produced 54,000,000 barrels of crude oil. The amount of natural gas in sight, including that being utilized, that going to waste and that shut in, will approximate 2,000,000,000 cubic feet per day. At a conservative estimate, not to exceed 20% of the productive oil and gas fields have been developed. The United States Geological Survey is authority for the statement that the amount of coal in Oklahoma is 79,000,000,000 tons. These facts being true, it is
262 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
obvious that so far as we have available data, Oklahoma possesses a greater amount of fuel than any other state in the Union. Wl en it is remembered that approximately 90'r of all the power used in manu- facturing and other industrial purposes is derived from one of these three fuels, it will be easily understood what the future development of Oklahoma may be.
But not in fuels alone is Oklahoma rich. The asphalt deposits in the southern part of the state are the most extensive in the Union. Complete data are not available, but at a conservative estimate, t' ere is enough asphalt in this region to pave all the streets of all the cities in the United States for the next hundred years, and even then one would scarcely know from where the material was taken.
The lead and zinc deposits in northeastern Oklahoma are among the most prolific in this country. Within the last tw^o years a million dollars have been spent in mines and mills on a single square mile near Miami, and more than tiat amount has been taken from the ground at this place in the form of lead and zinc ore. The area in which we may expect to find lead and zinc in paying quantities includes several thousand square miles.
Oklahoma possesses more gypsum than any other state. It is estimated that there are 123,000,000,000 tons of this material in sight in the western counties, which is enough to keep 100 mills, each manu- facturing 100 tons a day, busy for 34.000 years. Oklahoma 1 as enough salt water going to waste to make 100 carloads of salt a day. Her glass sand deposits are among the most extensive of those of any state. There is in southern Oklahoma a ledge of glass sand averaging fifty feet thick, and sixty miles long,' which, on analysis, is found to be often 99.987r pure silica.
The granite deposits of Oklahoma are among the finest in the country. Twenty or more varieties of shade and texture are found. The Wicl'ita mountains, 1,000 feet high and sixty miles long, in south- western Oklal oma, are composed entirely of granite. An area of more than 100 square miles in the Arbuckle mountains is covered by gr^inite.
Oolitic limestone, superior to the famous Bedford stone, occurs in very large quantities. Six separate areas in Oklahoma contain inex- haustible deposits of limestone, the greater part of which is suitable for the manufacture of Portland cement, for burning into lime, for concrete rock, and for building stone. Sandstone suitable for building is widely distributed. Clays and shales, suitable for the manufacture of brick, tile, sewer pipe and a large variety of clay products, are found in all parts of the state.
Oklahoma contains considerable deposits of high grade manga- nese iron ore; some of the finest tripoli in the country: great beds of volcanic ash; extensive deposits of novaculite; and a large variety of other minerals of minor importance.
Water Power.
The water power resources of Oklahoma are extensive, but at the present time practically undeveloped. A number of swift-flowing streams, carrying constant volumes of water, cross the state. Power plants are now in operation at only four places, namely at Anadarko, Chickasha and Pauls Valley, on the Washita, and at Tishomingo on the Pennington. Such rivers as Poteau, Kiamitia, Blue, Boggy, Grand, Verdigris, Illinois, North Canadian and Little River, and creeks such as Rock, Honey, and Mill, contain an ample supply of water to run scores, not to say hundreds of power plants, capable of generating many thousands of horse power.
RESOURCES 263
Two rather ambitious projects are now being considered. One, located in south-central Oklahoma, contemplates the construction of 10 or 12 plants, at various points, along the Washita river, between Lindsay and Berwyn. Ti:e combined power from these plants is to be carried to Oklahoma City, Shawnee, Ardmore and other towns in the central part of the state. A second project of nearly as great mag- nitade in the eastern part of the state contemplates the erection of a dam across Grand river near Muskogee. It is estimated that the power generated at this point, would be sufficient to supply light and power to a city of 200,000 people.
Other projects have been surveyed at Keokuk Falls and Weleetka on the North Canadian, at Carnegie, Fort Cobb, Cloud Chief, Lindsay, Pauls Valley and Dougherty, on the Washita; near Belton and Milburn on tl:e Blue; at Tahlequah and Cookson on the Illinois. Suffice it to say that if the immense deposits of coal, oil and gas now lying dor- mant in our hills are ever exhausted, there is enough water power yet unutilized to supply all the plants, factories and mines that Oklahoma will ever need.
Transportation.
Oklahoma has G,106 miles of railroad. Only Texas, Missouri, and Gebrgia among the southern states, exceed her in mileage. :\Iost coun- ties have two or more competing lines of railroad.
Five trunk lines cross the state, namely the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe; the Missouri, Kansas and Texas; the St. Louis and San Francisco; tie Kansas City, Mexico and Orient and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. The Santa Fe has direct connection with Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, Galveston and California. The Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas connects with St. Louis, Kansas City and Gal- veston. Four lines of the St. Louis and San Francisco cross Oklahoma, giving direct connection with the Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and Texas points. The Rock Island crosses Oklahoma from both the north and east, connecting Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis and El Paso. The Kansas City, Mexico and Orient reaches Kansas City on the north, and is building toward the Pacific coast.
Besides these trunk lines, there are a number of lines of minor importance, including the Missouri Pacific; Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf; Fort Smith and Western; Midland Valley; Oklahoma Central, and several shorter lines.
Need of Factories.
Oklahoma's greatest need today is more factories. With un- limited natural resources, both agricultural and mineral, with a larger amount of fuel than any other state, and inexhaustible water power, Oklahoma is, at the present time, manufacturing very few of the comforts and necessities of life used by her people. Nine- tenths of the manufactured articles used in Oklahoma are imported from other states. Our people are today paying the market price plus the freight for the greater part of the articles which they use. At the same time the farmers of Oklahoma are able to sell their five staple crops: Corn, wheat, cotton, cattle and hogs, only in outside markets, and for these things they receive the market price less tho freight.
To quote a few specific examples: Oklahoma has enough salt water going to waste to make 100 carloads of salt a day, yet all the salt used in the state comes from Kansas, Michigan and Louisiana.
264 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
There is enough limestone in Oklahoma to burn all the lime that the world will ever use, yet practically all our lime comes from Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. With as good shale as any state possesses, practically all the brick, terra cotta and other clay products used are imported from Kansas and Missouri. Oklahoma has as good granite as can be found in the world, yet in our cemeteries are mounments, and in our large buildings, pillars and cap stones, made of granite from Scotland, Vermont, and Massachusetts, but practically none from Oklahoma. With the largest deposits of gypsum in the United States, a considerable amount of our gypsum plaster comes from Kansas and Texas. With Portland cement rock enough to supply cement for all the world, and fuel in abundance for its manu- facture, we have but three cement plants, and much of the material we use comes from Kansas or Texas. With enough native asphalt in our hills to pave all the streets of all our cities, the greater part of our street paving is being done with the burned-out residue from the oil refineries. There is in Oklahoma but one cotton mill, but three glass factories, and six small oil refineries. We manufacture no shoes and but little clothing. Within the last year, two packing plants have been established in Oklahoma City. There are a few canning factories in various parts of the state, and most of the towns of any size have creameries.
It is safe to say, however, that at the present time, not 10 per cent of the materials used for building, food or clothing by the people of Oklahoma, are manufactured in the state. There is no state in the Union where opportunities are better, where greater returns may be made on investment, or where the poeple are more willing and anxious to give support to legitimate manufacturing in- dustries. We appreciate the fact that the lack of these industries is a part of pioneer conditions. We accepted these conditions when we came to the new country, but because we were willing to accept them, is no reason, in itself, why we should always be willing to live under them. As soon as plants and factories are established, and mines and quarries opened, and the workmen necessary to carry on these industries are here, our farmers will be able to raise a still larger variety of crops and will receive a higher price for the products of the farm.
Education.
No southern state has a greater number of state schools than has Oklahoma. The head of the educational system is the State University at Norman. The Agricultural and Mechanical College is at Stillwater, and in addition there are six district agricultural schools. Six state normal schools are located respectively at Ed- mond, Alva, Weatherford, Tahlequah, Durant and Ada. There are university preparatory schools at Tonkawa and 'Claremore, and a college for girls at Chickasha. Agricultural and domestic science are taught in all the common schools of the state. Most counties now have consolidated rural schools. The work done in the high schools is up to the standard. The requirements for admis- sion to the freshman class at the State University of Oklahoma, are with a single exception, higher than for any other southern university. Graduates from the University of Oklahoma take rank along with those from any institution in America.
Citizenship.
In opening a conversation with a stranger in Oklahoma is it not necessary to talk about the weather. The proper thing is to ask:
RESOURCES 265
"Where are you from?" We're all from somewhere. The oldest native has been voting little more than a year. Oklahoma is a meeting place for the clans. The northern farmer and the southern planter live side by side. The southerner harvests a wheat crop each year and the northern man is learning to grow cotton. The descendant of the Puritan and Cavalier vote at the same precinct. The grandchildren of Sam Houston and the offspring of Daniel Boone ride to town in the same automobile. Different traditions, different ideas, different viewpoints, mingle and commingle, yet out of the turmoil and tumult of ideas and opinions there is arising a newer, greater and grander civilization.
Oklahoma is preeminently tlie young man's country. A man will make more advancement, attain a greater eminence in his profession or achieve greater success in business in five years in Oklahoma than in 20 years in one of the older states. We are not hampered by tradition nor have we any great respect for authority, as such. Precedent interferes with us not at all. We ask of a man one thing, and only one, namely, that he produce results.
We have no heroes; neither Clays nor Calhouns, Lincolns nor Lees. We are little interested in either heroes or ancestors, but we are interested, intensely interested, in the half million boys and girls growing up in our midst. We have no past, and queerly enough we care little for one. Oklahoma is a country with a future and we would rather live in a country with a future than one with a past.
In the older states a man, applying for a position, must be recommended, indorsed, vouched for, certified to, and analyzed, and not only he, himself, but his father and mother, brother and sister, his rich uncle, his maiden aunt, and all. his numerous relatives, even unto the third and fourth generation. One of the best recommenda- tions a young man can have in the east is that he belongs to one of the best families.
In Oklahoma conditions are entirely different. We assume that a man is a gentleman and a scholar, that his grandfather did not steal sheep, and that his maiden aunt did not elope with the coach- man. We are not in the least interested in the family history. We ask a man two questions: First, "Can you do this work?" and, second, "Can you do it now?" If so, well and good. If not, get out of the way and let a man at it who can.
This is the spirit that is today making Oklahoma great. This Is the spirit that is at work among our people, developing farms, constructing railroads, building factories and erecting skyscrapers. What we need is more men, more money. We are working as best we can, and the work is not always easy but we are not discouraged. We say to the world, "Get out of the way and watch us grow, or, better still, come in with us and help us grow."

ELECTIONS AND PLATFOR.MS 317
NATIONAL PLATFORMS OF 1908
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
XATIOKAI^ TICKET.
For President WII.I.IAM H. TAFT, of Ohio.
For Vice-President .
JAMES S. SHERMAX, of New York
National Convention. Chicago. June 16-19, 19U.S. Temporary Chairman, JULIUS C. BURROWS, of Michigan. Permanent Chairman— HENRY CABOT LODGE, of Massachusetts. Secretary— JOHN R. MAI.LOY, of Ohio.
NATIONAL PLATFORM.
Once njore the Republican party, in national convention assembled, sub- mits 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 ol the world, now meets the new problems of government with the same courage and capacity with wliich 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 otiier period since na- tional soverignty was won under Wasliington, 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 worthiest purposes of all his countrymen. American manhood has been lifted to a nobler sense of duty and obligation. Conscience and courage in public station and higher standards of right 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 Bimple, manly virtues of justice and fair play.
318 OKLAHOJ^IA RED BOOK
The great accomplishments of President Roosevelt hare b«en, first and foremost, a brave and impartial enforcement of the law; the prosecution of illegal trusts and monopolies; the exposure and punishmont of evil-doers in the public service; the more effective ref^ulution of tlie rates and service of the great transportation lines; the complete overthrow 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 earnest 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 inspiration to those who have yet greater tilings 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 guidance 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 luakes 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 mankind, America's supremacy is undis- puted. And yet her great natural wealth has heen scarcely touched. We have a vast domain of three million square miles, literally bursting with latent treasure, still waiting the magic of capital and industry to be con- verted to the practical uses of mankind; a country rich in soil an»- 'Umate, in the unharnessed energy of its rivers and in all the varied prodo. ,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, commercw and manufacturing.
Recent Republican Legislation.
Since the election of William 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 legislatioa.
The many wise and progressive measures adopted at recent sessions of 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 Coumbia. the new statute for the safety of railroad engineers and firemen, and uiany 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 nexjt President, and commands the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the appropriate committees of Congress which are now investigating the operation and effect of existing schedules. In all tariff legisation the true principle of protection is best maintained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to American industries. "We favor the establishment of maximum and minimum rates to be administered by the President under limitations fixed in the law, the maximum to be available to meet discriminations by foreign countries against American goods entering their markets, and the minimum to represent the normal measure of protection at home, the aim and purpose of the republican policy being not only to preserve, without excessive duties, that security against foreign competition to which the American manu- facturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high standard of living of the wage-earners of this country, who are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective system. Between the United States and the Philippines we believe in a free interchange of products with such limitations as to sug^r and tobacco as will afford adequate protection to domestic interests.
Currency.
We approve tlie emergency measures adopted by the government during the recent financial disturbance, and especiallV 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 fhe development of a permanent currency system, responding to our great needs; and the appointment of the National Monetary Commission by the present Congress, which will impartially investigate all proposed methods, insures the early realization of this purpose. The present currency laws have fully justified their adoption, but an expanding commerce, a marvelous growith 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 witli that republican doctrine wliich insists that every dollars shall be based upon and as good aa gold.
Postal Savings.
We favor the establishment of a postal savings bank system for the convenience of the people and the encouragement of thrift.
Trusts.
The republican party i)assed the Sherman Anti-Trust law over demo- cratic opposition, and fnl'orct'd it after democratic dereliction. It has been a wholesome instrument lor good in the hands of a wise and fearless administration. 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 corporations 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 siiipper have substantially disappeared; and in this connection we commend the appropriation by the present Congress to enable the Interstate Commerce Commission to thoroughly investigate 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 raihoad telegraphers, the successful exercise of the powers of mediation and arbitra- tion between intei-state railroads and their employes, and tlie 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 the republican party pledges its continued devotion to every cause that makes for safety and betterment of conditions among those whose labor contributes so niiuli to the progress and welfare of the country.
Wage Earners Generally.
The same wise policy Which has induced the republican party to main- tain 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 contract 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. But 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 ths 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 to 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 and political rights, and it believes today that 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, withou»- 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 Waterways.
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 tlie republican policy of tlie 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 result in greater blessings to posterity. In line with this splendid undertaking is tlie 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 waterwaj's, harbors, and great lakes, wliose natural adaptability to the in- creasing :traffic 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 corps 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 country, 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.
Protection 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 billions of dollars, and gives employment to a vast amount of labor and capital which would otherwise be idle. It has inaugurated through the recent visit of the secretary of state to South 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- mercial enterprise.
Arbitration and The Hague Treaties.
The conspicuous contributions of American statesmanship to the great cause of international peace so signally advanced in The Hague conference? 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 war 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 industrial prosperity of our own people.
Veterans of the Wars.
Another republican policy which must ever be maintained is that of 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 enforced by the republican 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 legislation 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 Cut)an people will soon again be ready to assume complete soverignty 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 said Island should have the privilege of becoming naturalized.
324 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
In the Philippines, insurrection has been suppressed, law established and life and property made secure. Education and practical experience are there advancing the capacity 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 tlie events have shown, tlie 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 immortal 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 tliroughout 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 Incapacity for Government.
We call the attention of the American people to the fact that none of ithe great measures here advocated by the republican 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 operation.
Fundamental Differences Between Democracy and Republicanism
Beyond all platform declarations there are fundamental differences be- tween 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 adversity, 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 republicanism is that one stands for vacillation and timidity in government, the other for strength and purpose; one promises, the other performs; one Sinds 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 a constantly increasing sum of possessions. In line with this tendency, tne 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, wliile 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.

The various investigations have traced graft and political corrup- tion to llie representatives of predatory wealth and laid bare the unscrupulous methods by wliich tliey have debauciied 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 seeking 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."
"Shall the people rule?" is the overshadowing issue wliicli manifests itselT 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 the past fiscal year by $90,000,000, and leaving a deficit of more than $60,000,000 for the fiscal year just ended. We denounce the heedless waste of the people's money whicli has resulted in this appalling inci-ease 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 ex-cessive tariff exactions and other indirect methods. It is not surprising that in the face of this shocking record the republican platform 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 officeholders. 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 offices created under the Cleveland aiul 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 anri 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, responsive to the will of a majority of its members, but has come under the absolute 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 of 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 memlDers 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 one 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 expressed or implied agreement that in return for the contribution of great sums of money wherewith to purchase elections they should be allowed to continue substantially unmolested in their, efforts to encroachi upon the rights of the people.
Any reasonable doubt as to the existence of this relation has been dispelled by the sworn testimony of witnesses examined in the insurance
ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 329
investigations in New York and the open admission of a single individual — unchallenged by the republican national committee — that he himself at the personal request of the then republican candidate for the presidency raised over a quarter of a million dollars to be used in a single state during the closing hours of the last campaign. In order that this practice shall be stopped for all time, we demand the passage of a statute punishing by imprisonment any officer of a corporation who shall either contribute on behalf of or consent to the contribution by a corporation of any money or thing of value to be used in furthering the election of a president or vic«- president of the United States or of any member of the Congress thereof. We denounce the republican party, having complete control of the federal government, for its failure to pass the bill, introduced in the last congress, to compel the publication of the names of contributors and the amounts contributed toward campaign funds and point to the evidence of the insin- cerity of republican leaders when they sought by an absolutely irrelevant and impossible amendment to defeat the passage of the bill, as a further evidence of their intention to conduct their campaign in the coming contest with vast sums of money wrested from favor-seeking corporations. We call attention to the fact that the recent republican national convention at Chicago refused, when the issue was presented to it, to declare against such practices.
We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law prohibiting any corporation from contributing to a campaign fund and any individual from cotributing an amount above a reasonable maximum, and providins' for the publication before election of all such contributions above a reason- able minimum.
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 preservation of the general goverment in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at 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 for the regulation of interstate commerce 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 tho republican party as a tardy recognition 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 obligated to the highly protected interests as is the republican party. We call attention to tne significant fact that the promised relief is postponed until arter the coming election — an election to succeed in which the republican party
330 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
must have the same support from the beneficiaries 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. Articles entering into competition with trust controlled products should be placed upon the free list; material reductions' 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 such other schedules as may be necessary to restore the tariff to 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 levy and collect a tax upon individual and corporate incomes to the end that wealth may bear its proportionate share of the burdens of the federal government.
Trusts.
A private 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 its 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 protect the public from watered 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 to 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 valuation to take into consideration the physical value of the property, the original cost, the
ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 331
cost of production, and all elements of value that will render the valuation 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 legitimate investments.
We heartily approve the laws prohibiting the pass and the rebate and we favor any further necessary legislation to restrain, correct and prevent such abuses.
We favor sucla legislation 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 tlie railroad companies, and permit- ting the interstate 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 spoliation 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 insolvent national bank, under an equitable system which shall be available to all state banking institutions wishing to use it.
We favor a postal savings bank if the guaranteed bank cannot be se- cured, and believe that it should be so constituted as to keep the dejfosited
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 tlie 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 mu^ 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 economic, 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 1S96 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 organization of industry makes it essential that 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 be regarded as illegal combinations in restraint of trade.
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 the 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 favor 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. We 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 commerce, 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 without new or additional burdens upon the people and witliout bounties, from 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 tliis 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 race or creed, the equal protection of tlie 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 American citizens or recognition is withlield from American passports by any countries on the ground of race or creed, we favor prompt negotiations with the government of sucli coun- tries to secure the removal of these unjust discriminations.
We demand that all over the world a duly authenticated passpin-t issued by the government of the United States to an American citizen shall be proof of the fact that he is an American citizen and shall entitle him to 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 creditable 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 labor, 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 of which Mr. Roosevelt has vainly sought from a reluctant party; and to that end we insist upon the preservation, protection and replacement of
ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 335
needed forests, the preservation of the public domain for homesteaders, the protection of the nation's natural 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 exercise of all powers, national, state and municipal, 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 especially 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 shall 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 oriental 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; the 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- lican party is subservant to the comparatively few who are the beneficiaries
336 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
of governmental favoritism. We invite tlie 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 society a reward commensurate with his contribution to the welfare of society.

PLATFORM.
The prohibition party of the United States assembled in convention at Columbus, Ohio, July 15 and 16, 1908, expressing gratitude to Almighty God for the victories of our principles in the past, for encouragement at present and for the confidence of early and triumphant success in the future, makes the following declaration of principles and pledges their enactment into law when placed in power:

11. Court review of post office department decisions.

PLATFORM.
The socialist party, in national convention assembled, again declares it- self as the party of the working class, and appeals for the support 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 tlie nation with all the necessities and comforts of life are forced into 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, oil 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 violated state laws and the federal constitution 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 gov- 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 other 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 will be usd 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 control 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 within 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- ments 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 advocate and pledge ourselves and our elected officers to the following program:
General Demands.
1. The immediate government relief 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 shall 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. The 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 produo tlveness of machinery.
342 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
(b) By securing to every worker a rest period of not less than a daj 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 campaign in that direction.
11. The initiative and referendum, proportional representation and the right 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. Tlie 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 fhe 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-President, SAMUEL W. WILLIAMS, of Indiana.
National Convention, St. Louis, April 2-3, 1908. Temporary Chairman — Jacob S. Coxey, of Oliio. 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 April, 1908, with increased confidence in its contentions, reaffirms the declarations 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 teachings 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 wealth. 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 Issuance of 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 tlie 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 wlio have violated the conditions of their grants should be restored to the public domain.
Trusts and Monopolies.
To prevent unjust discriminatitms 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 tlie 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 the extent of the value of the privilge granted.
We demand that Congress shall enact a general law uniformly rgulatina the powers and duties of all incorporate'd 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 witli the 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 national 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 inviolate.
We condemn the recent attempt to destroy the 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 child labor in factories and mines, and the suppression of sweat-shops.
We oppose the use 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 lives and limbs of workmen through tlie 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 ot such liurrible catas- trophes.
346 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
We declare that in time of depression wiien workingmen are tlirown into enforced idleness that works 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, thip 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 treaclierous rocks of fusion.

INDEPENDENCE P ".TY.
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, representing 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 tricksters and corrupt bosses, and make the government, as the founders intended, an agency for the common good.
At a period of unexampled national prosperity and promise, a staggering blow was dealt to legitimate business by the unmolested 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 the 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 establishment 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 tlie 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 radical 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 American 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 Inevitable. 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 controlled 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 initiative and referendum and we par- ticularly demand that no franchise grant go into operation until the terms and conditions have been approved by popular vote in the locality interested.
The Recall.
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 official 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 their hands their main weapon, the corruption fund. We 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 desirable 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- Ing cost of living.
Over- Capitalization.
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 sliould 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 otiier forms of corporation frauds.
Labor.
We denounce the so-called labor planks of the Republican and Demo- cratic platforms as political buncombe and contemptible clap-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 irreparable 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 \mer:can workingman and exhibit either ignorance of or indifference to the real interests of labor.
The Independence parly coiideiuiis tlie arbitrary use of the writ of in- junction and contempt proceedings as a violation of tlie fundamental American right of trial by jury.
From the foundation of our government down to 1S72 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 phould 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 labor 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- rctly 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 erpployes.
We demand protection for workmen through enforced use of Btandard safety appliances 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 sTiall convicts be hired out to contractors or sub-contractors.
We favor the creation of a department of labor including mines and min» Ing, the head of which shall be a member of the president's cabinet.
The great abuses of grain Inspection by which the producers are plun- 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 tiie rights of the consuming public, and of established industry. There should be no protection for oppressive trusts which sell cheaply abroad and take advantage of tlie tariff at home to crush competition, raise prices, control production and limit work and wages.
Railroads.
The railroads must be kept open to all upon exactly 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 sliould 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 engaged 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 utilities for the public benefit. We favor specifically government owaership of the telegraphs, such as prevails in every other civilized country in the world, and demand as an Immediate measure that the government shall purchase and operate tha tele- graphs in connection with the postal service.
Parcels Post.
The parcels post system should be rapidly and widely extended and gov- 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 government.
Good Roads.
We favor the immediate development of a national system of good roads connecting all states 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 rulings 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 futura 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 national 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.
'i'hp almse.s grdwins: out of the administration 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 portions of our western states we protest vigorously against the policy of the

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS IN STATEHOOD ELECTION, 1907
DEMOCRATIC PARTY. (Adopted at Oklahoma City, June 18, 1907.)
"We, the representatives of the democratic party of tlie State of Oklahoma, in appealing to the citizenship of our state for their sup- port, do respectfully submit these principles of self-government, for which we stand and which are of special interest in the pending campaign.
"We 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 tills 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 for 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 purposes should be sold upon terms that shall be absolutely fair to tl e 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 bj^ the actual owner thereof.
"We believe that the funds derived from the sale of such lands should be faithfully preserved and invested as provided by the constitution.
"Wp believe that the present state sclools 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, sub.iect to approval by a vote of the people of this 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
"We strongly oppose the passing of the timber land and other natural resources of this state into the hands of the 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.
"We 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.
"We believe that the estates of those mentally incompetent, of whatsoever race, should be protected by our state probate courts. We will take care of our own defectives of whatever race or color, and will not rely upon the federal government to discharge this proper function of our own state.
"We I)elieve that it is of the greatest importance 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 invested in honest enterprises and predatory capital engaged in conspiracy against the proceeds of labor of the American lieople. We opuose those crafty corporations wl ich artfully contrive to destroy comnetition and thus fix arbitrary prices on the necessities of life and on those things which are produced by our own people. We do not intend to encourage predatory capital in this state. We do intend to protect our people in the proceeds of their honest labor. We 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.
"We favor the speedy development 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 enable the people in each county to provide 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. We pledge the party to vigorously promote in every reasonable way our public school system, so that tl e state shall stand in- the front rank in the educational column.
"We pledge the people of 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.
"We approve the resolutions of the constitutional convention of March 1, 1907. jiledging the enactment of laws at the earliest possible date during the first session of the first legislature providing for sep- arate coaches or accommodations and waiting roms for t' e negro race. We pledge in like manner to carry into effect the provisions in the constitution for separate 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 which 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.
ELEC'TIONS -VXD PLATFORMS 357
"We unreservedly endorse the action of the democratic majoritj- in its faithful compliance in drawing the constitution in accordance with our pledges to the people, and we pledge that the democratic party, if entrusted with power in administration cf 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 hereiiy express our allegiance to the great principles of gov- ernment, advocated by the national democratic party, upon which we believe, the future welfare of tl is republic must depend.
"We reaffirm our allegiance to that greatest living exponent of democratic principles, William .Jennings Bryan, and endorse him for our presidential nominee in 1908.
"We emphatically demand the reasonable and proper control of transportation and transmission companies and tiie supervision and control of all enterprises engaged in interstate commerce.
"We favor the improvement of the waterways of the Mississippi Vallev and the establishment of water transportation wherever prac- ticable throughout the Union.
"We believe that the patriotic element of the republican party are no longer able to control or greatly influence that great politcal organ- ism. We believe tVat the machinery in that party has fallen under the insidious influence of the great plutocratic powers and organized monopolies of this nation.
"We deno'ince and condemn the national republican partv for the lavif h use of money belonging to the people of Oklahoma in the recla- mation service in other states, and pledge our members in our national congress to use their best efforts to require the reclamation service to use the money belonging to Oklahoma in Oklahoma.
"We believe that the vast ccntributions of money by these special interests have .given such interests such power over the republican party that a remedy for national conditions under which the people suffer is impossible through that party.
"We appeal, therefore, to every good citizen who places patriotism above commercialism, happiness and the welfare of the great body of our producing classes above the enrichment of the few; and who believes in local self government, to join us in a holy crusade for the restoration to the people of their rights.
"We enjoin upon the advocates of democracy that they treat with special respect those of our fellow citizens who by environment, affili- ation or for other reasons, have heretofore affiliated with other par- ties, and we urge them to use only sound argument, in appealing to their reason and to use the force of courtesy and kindness in persuad- ing to join us in the great task of restoring to the American people their rights in the pursuit of happiness."
3S« OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
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 their 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, tlie unconquerable, and by the sainted McKinley, the foremost champion of protection to American labor, the party hns placed upon our mighty nation the peerless stamp of primacy among the nations of the eartli.
"2. There is confided to the new state the de: 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 enliglitenment, '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 con- 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

provided for in old age; the laws enlarging 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 republican legislatures. 'By their fruits you shall know them.'
••5. We 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 combinations 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 or purpose and nobility of character, our citizenship has attained a higher standard of excellence. We approve and commend his public acts and teachings and pledge him a continuance of our loyal and earnest support.
"tj. 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 progressive and prosperous com- monwealth of Oklahoma into the union of states upon an equal footing with that of every other state. And we denounce the infamous, greedy 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 eaucus 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 constifition, that the.\- 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 liurdens 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, bv its lack of judgment and statesmanship, its inability to compre-
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 constitutional convention, has proven its incompetency to control the governmental affairs o| a great state, and has forfeited all claim 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 will 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, partisan 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 members 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 de))riving 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 every 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 tlie needs and requirements of the people and the interests of the state. On tlie other hand, if the judgment of the voters of this state, expressed 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 comiiig 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 tiieir timidity and cowardice, have failed to submit to the peoi-'le a finished 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 tlie r;ght to reconvene and make further amendments. Such trifling with the rights and confidence 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- ment of such laws as will give just recognition to organised labor, the fullest security to individual effort, minimize the hours of labor and insure the highest degree of safety in places where laborers are required to work. We 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. We 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 give 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 tor its firPt governor; and we invite all lovers of honesty, justice and right to join with us in securing his election.
362 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
"12. We are thoroughly in favor of the American and republican policy of adequate protection to our labor and industries. We 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 the Dingley law in particular, giving a full measure of employment, high wages and equi- table prices to all. We have confidence in our chosen national legis- lators ^nd 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 tratflc 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. Tie repub- lican party will protect the people against trusts and unlawful combi- nations in restraint of trade. The democratic party, by its failure to define and prohibit trusts and monopolies in the proposed constitu- tion of Oklahoma, has shown its subserviency 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 compelled to pay exhorbitant transportation charges, and have been furnishing the funds for divi- dends to corporation stockholders, wi ile supulied with inade()uate and inferior facilities. With the coming of statehood, we demand a square deal. With 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 passenger traffic within the state at such reasonable rates as will be just to the shipper and at the same time provide a fair return \ipon the actual 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 sale of public 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 their territory is within the arid belt, but as there is a considerable area of agricultural lands in the state which can be made more productive bv irrigation, and a large body of rich bottom lands which are too wet for cultivation, we favor such modification of the federal laws as will permit Oklahoma's share of this fund to be used within the state 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 establishment of permanent homes has ever been one of the strongest incentives to intellectual and industrial development. Tt strengthens the family ties, inspires love of home and loyalty to country. The republican party, proud of its record in adoptipg the generous provisions of the homestead and free home law, whereby millions of happy and pros- perous homes haVe been provided for the tillers of the soil, and loyal to its principles, declares its opposition to any system which fosters
ELECTIONS AND PLATFOltMS 363
a condition 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 prohibit 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 upon the lands, on long time and such reasonable rates of interest as will insure its constant investment.
"17. We demand tl:e removal of all restrictions upon the aliena- tion of lands belonging to Indians. We 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. TVe inception of all .traffic is over the public roads. The farmers and land owners are entitled to assistance in improvina and making them good. Federal and state aid should be extended for their improvement. Post roads for rural mail, and the 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 our needs for years to come. Profiting by the experience of others, we favor the enact- ment of sucb laws as will foster and protect the oil and gas industry, controlling their consumption and preventing waste.
"20. The great natural, waterways are the people's highways, and their improvement and use cheapens transi)ortation and increases the market prices of agricultural products and other commodities. We favor the apniopriation by congress of such liberal s'lms for the im- provement of our rivers as will maintain them in navigable condition at all times to the highest points practicable.
"21. The republicans of the combined territories 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 consratulate the republicans of the First congressional district in making him their nominee. He has .iustly 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. We heartily endorse the nomination of Governor T. B. Fer- guson for congress in the Second district. His progressive and honest administration 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 from 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 the 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. We 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 pa.\raent to the members of the nations owning such lands, of the money received from such sales.
"We 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 rei)ublican party so ably performed, our present organization and leadership 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."

1910.
"On tl is the threshold of the third state campaign since entrusted v.'ith power, the democratic party of Oklahoma greets the citizenshi]) of the state and nation, exultant in the trumphant success of its ad- v?.nced principles of modern government, and progressive statesman- ship. Undismayed by the aspersions and assaults of the representa- tives of special interests at home and abroad, it greets the people of the state and nation with its constitution, its legislation and its cai- didates. Proud and triumpliant over every opposition and vigorous in its patriotic purposes it again invites the co-operation of all lovers of good government.
"We endorse our democratic senators and representatives in the Congress of the United States, and in view of the pending invesr.iga- tion of Indian affairs we express our continued confidence in il'e honor and integrity of Senator Gore and commend his courageous sUmd in the interest of fair dealing for the Indians and for honesty in the government.
Org.anic Law.
"After a prolonged ])eriod of misrule, the hopeless i)eopU^ of fjie two territories availed themselves of the earliest opportunity to be relieved of the burdens under which they traveled, and the intelligence of the state confidently entrusted to our party the duty of formulating its organic law, and vitalizing it by appropriate legislation. The marked success achieved has been due to tie active co-operation and sympathy of the honest people of all parties, and in spite of and over the malignant slander of a venal organization and press representing in its purpose the destruction of the good achieved. We deplore the in.iury, 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. We 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 four great legislative assemblies, dealing with plenary power with the great moneyed interests of the state and nation, no agency has yet had the temerity to charge any one of them or any member thereof 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 good government.
"We endorse the wise leadership of Gov. C. N. Haskell, the admin- istration of public affairs in this state by tlie democratic party, in the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, as able and economical.
366 • OKLAl{OMA RED BOOK
"No party in the history of the country is capable of showins a record of achievement which surpasses the one made by the democracy of this state since statehood. Every pledge made to tlie people has been fully redeemed. In substantiation of this statement we point with pride to the fact that among the pledges made to tie people in our previous platform may be mentioned the separation of fhe 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 the agricultural, labor and business interests. Every one or 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 by Oregon and Illinois limiting the hours of labor for women to a maximum work day of ten hours in occupations other than domestic and agriculture.
Agriculture.
"No single interest of our state stands higher in importance than that of agriculture. And we pledge 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 the 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 of which in actual operation show, for the period of two and one-half years that it l:as 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 million 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 has been many times repaid by in- creased volume of business, and that the practical operation of our banking system has challenged I he 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 or 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 assumed by the democratic administration from the territorial condition of negligence, favoritism and mismanagement, has in the brief period of state government, grown in ethciency 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 GO 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 othef- 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. Thete methods and unwarranted condition were in face of the fact that tlie public building fund had already accumulated approximately six hun- dred thousand dollars of funds from which these institutions should have long prior thereto been constructed and placed on a basis of efficiency and economy, but the democratic party found this fund unused, except by a few banks, enjoying special favors at a nominal rate of interest.
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 perpetuity of free government. We 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 living 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 Enforcement.
"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 respective parties pre- requisite to appointment.
Good Roads.
"We call attention to the laws heretofore passed providing for the building of good roads, and we promise to pursue the policy thus inaugurated.
Constitution.
"We 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
enforcement of its provisions should be committed to its friends who have steadfastly upheld and defended it and not surrendered into the hands of its enemies who have done everything possible to discredit it and render it inoperative.
Corporations.
"We 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 corporations 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 will 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 reality.
"We note the domestication in Oklalioma 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 tax rate possible consistent with good and efficient gov- ernment. We believe that taxation should be just, equal and .miform.
"In this connection we point to the fact that under former 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 misgovernnxent through Si.?. 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 in 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 laws in the hands of those unselfish enough to faithfully administer that great trust, and where the United States government has violated 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 such 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 McGuire bill or otherwise, as 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 Indian children from any and all classes of dishonest and unscrupulous grafters.
Will of People Prevail.
"The democratic party declares that whenever any amendment ro 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 direction, and, therefore, it declares all such measures, to-wit: Prohibition, woman's suffrage and all 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 mis- 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 less 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
and a half years of organization uniformity preserving its state credit on a par basis, and this has been accomplished in the face of the fact that we are the only such state that passed through the first year of state government without t^e receipt of any direct taxes from the people.
Natit lal Legislation.
"Life tenure of public ^^f ;e being born of despotic and irrespon- sive power, we therefore fa\or 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:
"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 reqiiiring 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 extensipn of the adoption of the fellow servant rule to all others engaged in hazardous and dangerous pursuits besides those already exempt from that rule in 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. Gov- • ering a continuance of the good will, confidence and esteem of our fellow citizens 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.
"We 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 the present law have opened the markets of the entire civilized world to the products of American indiistry.
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 appropriation for the Taft tariff commission — all of which measures will be completed 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 produc^ts 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
pers; then all labor receives its Just reward, and plenty and happiness 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 ti.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 eiforts 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 r-arriers' 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.
374 OKLxVHOMA 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 special session of the legislature for the s-ole pur- pose of enacting laws to disfranchise citizens of the state at a cost of $96,948.00 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 illegally 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 and amending laws thereto so as to make them a farce. ,
Damaged Educational Institutions.
"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 sons 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, extfava- gance and incompetency in the Public Land Department, using the sacred school funds of the state in violation of law, to hire an army of useless employees. They have outraged 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 continuetj the liquor dispensary system after the peo- ple have declared against it. and mismanaged the same so as to in- crease the burden of taxation and bring disgrace upon the state.
ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 375
* Injured 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.
Interfered With Courts.
"Tley 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 to allow the public to have access to their records.
Trickeci the Farmers.
"By ])olitical 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 tie minority lepre- 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 suffrage for the negro which they dare not submit to themselves.
Harass the People.
"They have created a multitude of new offices and sent over the state 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 ren- 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- lican minority which brought attention to their profligate practices by forcing investigation tl'ereof, and making a record of the fact that this same executive has openly violated the constitution and laws of the state, attempted to usurp the power of the courts and the legislature, and abused the power of pardon until even the convicts in the prison have lost confidence in his integrity.
37'6 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
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 the honor of the state at home and abroad; we will eliminate machine politics in governmental affairs an^ 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 la 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 has 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 he allowed representation on every precinct, county and state election board that we may have an honest ballot and a fair count.
W.arrants Two-Cent Rate.
"We believe that it can be shown that the trunk line railroads doing business in Oklahoma are deriving suflficient 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 court, 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 of the school land department, one that will protect the interests of the school fund and the school children, as well as guarantee 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 legislatura 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 maintaia good schools within the reach of every country boy and girl, made easy of access by good roads.
"We favor placing on the official ballot the party nominess for United States senators as advisory to the legislature that they may know the will of the majority before exercising the elective function.
ELECTIONS AND PLATP^ORMS 377
"We 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 republlcam 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 various state schools."
378 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
SOCIALIST PARTY STATE PLATFORM
"The socialist party of Oklahoma reaffirms its adherence to the principles 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 scate ownership and control of such industries and means of ti-ansportation as are collectively used by the people of Oklaloina;. such as the coal and mining industries, the oil industry, the cotton ginning and compressing and cotto;:, spinning industries: the stock yards, packing and cold storage industries, the telephone lines, the interurban electric lines, etc.; such industries to be under the democratic management of the workers in such industries, and to be operated not for the purpose of making 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 poll tax laws, grandfather clauses, educational, property and residence qualifications that have no object other than the gradual taking away from the workers the right of franchise; and thus prevent the work- ers from securing control of the powers of governmenr.
"The socialist pa,rty 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- cratic administration and the interests it represents, has and is using every eiJort to prevent the people from using the initiative and refer- endum 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 legislature 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. '•^
"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.

"On the 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- viding 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- cinct. Such election boards to be elective, and not appointive.
"The sociafist 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 petitions 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 thera. 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 r.p 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 everj^ measure that will add to the material, intellectual or moral welfare of tlie working class; and as the working 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.
Congress 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, 2.5; the President must have been a resident of the United States fourteen years.
A naturalized citizen is not eligible to the office of President of the United States. A male child born in a foreign land of American parents does not lose its American citizenship thereby.

Green county has a history unique and little in common with other counties of the state. In the treaty of 1819 with Spain, the Red River was made the boundary line between the United States and Spanish possessions. Texas become an independent nation in 1836. Greer was named in honor of a former state official by Texas, but some years later the controversy arose between the United States and Texas as to which branch of the Red river was the stream in- tended in the treaty of 1819. The dispute over the Ownership was carried to the United States Supreme Court, which decided in 1895, that Greer belonged to the United States, and as such the territory was re-organized by act of Congress, approved May 4, 1896, under the laws of Oklahoma. The original tract known as Greer included parts of Beckham, Harrison and Jackson counties as Avell as the present county of Greer, or an area of approximately 1,500,000 acres in all. The county now has an area of 1,115 square miles with about 1500 acres of forest lands. The surface is chiefly prairie land, with outcropping bluffs of gypsum along the streams with several granite mountains in the eastern part. The principal industries are farming and stock raising. General agricultural products are raised.

Section 1. That all that portion of the United States now known as the Indian Territory (except so much of the same as is actually occupied by the five civilized tribes, and the Indian tribes within the Quapaw Indian Agency, and except the unoccupied part of the Cherokee Outlet), together with that portion of the United States known as the public land strip, is hereby erected into a temporary government by the name of the Territory of Oklahoma. The portion of the Indian Territory included in said Terri- tory of Oklahoma is bounded by a line drawn as follows: Commencing at a point where the ninety-eighth meridian crosses the Red river, thence by said meridian to the point where it crosses the Canadian river, thence along said river to the west line of the Seminole country, thence along said line to the North Fork of the Canadian river; thence down said river to the west line of the Creek country, thence along said line to the northwest corner of the Creek country, thence along the north line of the Creek country to the ninety-sixth meridian, thence northward by said meridian to the southern boundary line of Kansas, thence west along said line to the Arkansas river, thence down said river to the north line of the land occupied by the Ponca tribe of Indians, from which point the line runs so as to include all the lands occupied by the Ponca, Tonkawa. Otoe and Missouri, and Pawnee tribes of Indians until it strikes the south line of the Cherokee Outlet, which it follows westward to the (east) line of the state of Texas, thence by the boundary line of the state of Texas to the point of beginning; the public land strip, which is included in said Territory of Okla- homa, is bounded east by the one hundredth meridian, south by Texas, west by New Mexico, north by Colorado and Kansas. Whenever the interest of the Cherokee Indians in the land known as the Cherokee Outlet shall have been extinguished and the president shall make proclamation thereof, said outlet shall thereupon and without further legislation become a part of the Territory 'Of Oklahoma. Any other lands within the Indian Territory not embraced within these boundaries shall hereafter become a part of the Territory of Oklahoma whenever the Indian Nation or tribe owning such lands shall signify to the president of the United States in legal manner its assent that such lands shall so become a part of said Territory of Okla- homa, and the president shall thereupon make proclamation to that effect.
Congress may at any time hereafter change the boundaries of said Territory, or attach any portion of the same to any other state or territory ( f the United States, without the consent of the inhabitants of the Territo-v hereby created: Provided, that nothing in this act shall be construed to impair any right now pertaining to any Indians or Indian tribe in said Territory under the laws, agreements and treaties of the United States. or to impair the rights of person or property pertaining to said Indians, or to affect the authority of the government of the United States to make
528 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK
any regulation or to make any law respecting said Indians, their lands, property or other rights which it would have been competent to make or enact if this Act had not been passed.
Sec. 2. That the executive power of the Territory of Oklahoma shall be vested in a governor, who shall hold his office for four years and until his successor shall be appointed and qualified, unless sooner removed by flie president of the United States. The governor shall reside within said Territory; shall be commander-in-chief of the militia thereof; he may grant pardons for offenses against the laws of said Territory; and reprieves for offenses against the laws of the United States, until the decision of the president can be made known thereon; he shall commission all officers who shall be appointed to office under the laws of said Territory, and shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
Sec. 3. That there shall be a secretary of said Territory, who shall reside therein, and hold his office for foyr years, unless sooner removed by the president of the United States; he shall record and preserve all the laws and the proceedings of the legislative assembly hereinafter constituted, and all acts and proceedings of the governor in his executive department; he shall transmit one copy of the laws and journal of the legislative assem- bly, within thirty days after the end of each session thereof, to the president of the United States and to the secretary of the interior, and, at the same time, two copies of the laws and journals of the legislative assembly to the speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the senate for the use of congress, and in case of the death, removal, resignation, or other necessary absence of the governor from the Territory, the secretary shall execute all the powers and perform all the duties of the governor during such vacancy or absence, or until another governor is appointed and qualified.
Sec. 4. That the legislative power and authority of said Territory shall be vested in the governor and legislative assembly.
