"When the convention reconvened
they destroyed the initiative and re-
ferendum" declared Mr. Cromwell
although he must have known better
and he said he was for this method of
legislation "ao far as certain sub-
jects are concerned." He also said
it was a republican doctrine to but
again failed to explain why they had
failed to declare for it. He then crit-
icized the convention for making cer-
tain sections of the corporation pro-
vision sujeet to amending by the leg-
islature and wanted to know why they
didn't give the people the right to
and the populo-repallican haranrue a "

A star feature of tho republican
convention yesterday was tlio alleg-

woll. candilate for etate treasurer
A. P. Saunders chief hostler for

To the Republican County Committee:
On my return from Texas I was
very much surprised to hear of my
nomination .for county superintend-

the honor conferred upon me by the
committee and thank them for the in-
terest they have shown in my behalf
I must respectfully and earnestly de-
cline the nomination.

Fechheimer Made a
Great Fight but Pie-
wump Was too
Strong for Him
Major H. D. McKnight of Lawton
was nominated for congress by the
republicans of the fifth district in
the 13th. ballot which was taken at
about 6:30 o'clock. The final vote
'stood.
McKnight 139
Fechheimer 95
Connor 40
Several times McKnight had re-
on hand for relaying the yards and eeived 137 votes the number necessary
this work wil begin at once. It is
following counties: Grady 16 Garvin
15 Jefferson 5 Murray 4 Pottawato-
mie 28 Stephens 2 and Cleveland 5.
The third ballot stood: McKnight
137 Fechheimer 70 Connor 47
Smith 20 and on the fourth Fech-
heimer went up to 92 rising to 97
on the fifth. Ar;ain on the sixth Mc
Knio'ht received 137 one less than the
number required to nominate the
same thing occuring from the 8th. to
the 11th ballots. On the 12th. ballot
after Smith hai withdrawn the bal-
let stood McKnight 101 Fechheimer
119 Connor 40 Tillman county having
passed a complimentary vote for
Judge Dickerson. Fechheimer could
have been nominated on this ballot
if Kiowa county had kept the agree-
ment made and turned her strength
to him but Connor stood firm and
the next ballot ended it.

Mr. Stilwell talked in a rambling

authentic reports Haskell skinned him
alive at that nx-cting. He then took
a shot at Haskell for raising the
race question and said he didn't know
of any republican in Oklahoma who
didn't favor nparate coaches; a'tho
h was silent on the reasons why they
didn't declare themselves on the ques-
tion in their state platform. He de-
clared that a democrat had originally
appointed "Mr." MeCabe ngro assist-
ant auditor of Oklahoma which was
ng to'ition. It therefore appears that all
his argument was lost even on a re-
publican convention.
Bud Gibbs a well known farmer
near town was arrested for resisting
an officer in a melee that occured
on the lower part of Chickasha avenue
yesterday afternoon. He claims that
he was playing the part of peace mak-
er in the scrap when the officer toolt
him in charge. His case was contin-
ued till tomorrow.

Dickerson nominated Mr. Fechheimer
in an impassioned speech of great pow

declared "and gentlemen in this coun-
try politics is war. We need a young
man to make this race. It is one
thing for a man to carry the banner
of republicanism when he is sustain-
ed by federal office and another thing
when he fights the battles of his pary
as a private citizen. You say our
candidate is a Jew but I want to
say to you when Mr. Roosevelt wanted '
a man to whom he could entrust the
secrets of his heart he selected a Jew;
when he wanted a great man for am-
bassador to Turkey and for a member
of his cabinet he selected a Jew; and
when the Lord of Heaven wanted to
send a Savior to the world a Jew
was sent."
