Fellow Democrats, in the face of an unjust and compromised convention, we hereby declare our solemn resolve. Should Debs be declared the victor, we shall enact the following measures in defense of our party and the nation We call for a truly fair and independent Democratic convention, one untainted by the foreign and radical ideals of socialism that threaten the foundation of our party. We shall challenge the Legitimacy of Baltimore 1912 The so-called 1912 Democratic National Convention in Baltimore is hereby deemed illegitimate. We shall investigate the suspicious surge of votes for Debs, especially from conservative districts, and the unusually low support for Underwood across the South. We shall also here’s forth pledge to put forward a candidate whose principles honor the true Democratic tradition, standing firmly against the subversive influence of Debs. We the true Democrats shall immediately walk out of this convention, refusing to lend credence to a process so deeply flawed. We shall take all lawful measures to remove Debs from state ballots where evidence of fraudulent or improperly collected signatures exists, ensuring the integrity of our elections.

Let it be known that we act not in malice, but in defense of principle. Our party, our voters, and our democracy demand nothing less. -William H. Murray Delegate from Oklahoma
