CANDIDATES BLOOM OUT
List of Favorite Sou is Crowing
Larger A Few f 'Em
Gathrie Ok. Nov. 9 The sue
cess of the democratic party in the
nw state has given renewed activi-
ty to democrats who will be candi-
dates for state offices. The fact
that Oklahoma democrats general-
ly concede the gubernatorial nomin-
ation to Indian Territory may re-
sult in the presidency of constitu-
tional convention going to an Ok-
lahoman. Indian Territory has
five candidates all wealthy who
wish to be governor: Dr. F. R.
Fite. Muskogee; Homer B. Spald-
ing Muskogee; J. J. McAlester
McAlester; R L. Williams Durant;
Lee Cruce Ardmore. The only
avowed Oklahoma candidate is
Thomas Doyle of Perry.
M. L Turner former territorial
treasurer under Governor Renfrow
has began pushing his campaign
for United States senator. Turner
has accumulated a fortune in the
banking business and is a good
mixer. Probably no other Oklaho-
man is so well kuown by eastern
financiers.
William Cross has practically
abandoned his plan to run for the
democratic congressional notnina-
tion in the second district to ask
for election to the office of secre-
tary of state.
Jesse Dunn cnairman of the
democratic csmpaign comittee de-
sires to be chief justice of the Ok-
lahorn state supreme court. Rolert
Ray of Lawton will ask to be made
a member of the board of rail-
road commissioners.
GAS FOB BUM
Franchise Granted by City Council at
Its Moaday Niiat Meeting
Duncan Banner:
The franchise asked by D. L.
Blackman to lay gas mains in Dun-
can was granted by the city coun-
cil Monday night.
By all it is considered that Mr.
Black moa means business and that
he will begin work at once laying
a line from the Hope oil wells into
Duncan. It is his intention to
either pipe natural gas here or
pipe in oil and establish a plant to
convert it into gas. The franchise
covers both of thes propositions.
This is one of the greatest steps
forward that Duncan has ever
taken. Within a very few months
it is confidently expected the peo-
ple of the city will be burning gas.
A phone message was received
here yesterday mo;ning bringing
the glad news that 1 50-barrel
flaw ing well was brought in at the
Hope field the evening before.
The truthfuluest of this report
cannot be vouched for but the
news is generally believed in busi-
ness circles here.

WILL GIVE PERFECT TITLE
Great Care Taken to Find Proper
Heir t Sold Under Sealed Bids
Muskoget I. T. Nov. 9 Be.
ginning Monday Nov. 12 the
land sales division of the Indian
agency will list for sale the first of
the inherited Indians lands or what
is known as "dead claims." All
of the dead Indian claims in Ind
ian Territory will be sold from
time to time in which fullblood
heirs are interested provided the
heirs wish to sell.
The first list to be sold Includes
nine Lreei allotments and ona
Choctaw. There has been a great
deal of difficulty getting the sales
started owing to the fact that in
many cases the department has not
been able to establish clearly the
proper heirs.
Great care is being taken along
this line. The names cf the heiii
are taken from the records of the
Commissioner to the Five Civilized
Tribes and affidavits arc furnished
by the petitioners. This is then
checked over thoroly and if any
doubt exists as to who are the miss
ing heirs or petitioners the land is
not posted.
These lands will be sold in tracts
of 160 acres in the Creek and Scm
mole nations 90 acres in the
Chickasaw and the Choctaw na
tions.
It is believed that land offered in
tracts of this size will be eagerly
sought after and bidding will be
lively. Those who buy in this
manner will have a perfectly clear

This condition was brought
about by the law passed by the
last congress It is the quickest
and easiest way to settle the estate
of a deceased Indian and is abso-
lutely without cost to the Indian.
The new blank applications have
been approved and there are many
applications will pour in much
faster.
The land is advertised for sixty
days add then sold under sealed
bids provided the bids exceed the
appraised value of the land.
It is believed that practically all
of the the dead Indiau claims will
be sold in this way.
PRESIDENCY OF CONVENTION
H. S. Johnson of Perry Democratic
Member is a Candidate
Guthrie Ok. Nov. 9. Henry
S. Johnson of Perry Democratic
member of the constitutional con-
vention is a candidate for the
presidency of the conventicn.
Thomas II. Doyle is managing
Johnson's campaign. Unless C. N.
Haske'l of Muskogee finally should
prefer the freedom of the floor
that he might have more latitude
in participating in the affairs of
the convention he is tegarded as
one of the most formidable candi-
dates for tha place. W. A. Led-
better of Ardmore may be a candi-
date Oklahoma has elected more
Democrats than Indian Territory
in the convention and the western
half of the state may be able to
name the president. The two
Democrats in the Osege Indian re-
servation probably would vote with
Oklahoma. James Menefee of
Fort Cobb treasurer of the Demo-
cratic campaign committee has
announced his candidancy for state
treasurer. Menefee was a member
cf the legislative council two years
ago. He came to Oklahoma from
Missouri.
