Under a special caption and dated
'■Sapulpa,” the Oklahoman of today
has the following:
"A 'petition asking the state elec-
tion board to keep the name of K. T.
Daniel, of Tulsa, republican candi-
date for congress in the third Okla-
lonta district, from the ballot in No-
envber, is being circulated here by
M. L. Matson, a local attorney. It is
allege,! in tile petition that Daniel ex-
pended more than the $800 allowed
y law in his campaign.
Matson is an ardent Roosevelt sup-
porter and it is believed the progres-
sives are behind the move. Mr. Mat-
son says that he is circulating the on-
ly petition out now but that others
will be started In other cities in the
third district in the near future.
Matson says he believes the Tulsa
man exceeded the campaign limit and
has affidavits to back up the belief.
“Mr. Matson also asserts that the
democrats have the same evidence re-
garding the expenditure but that
they Intend to allow the Tulsa man
o be elected and then unseat him as
A
was done in the case of a Missouri
congressman a few days ago."
A reporter for the Light interview-
ed Mr. Matson and asked to see the
petition hut the attorney stated it
had been sent away. He refused to
state the reason for his activity oth-

YESTERDAY.
County Clerk 'Robinson issu«*d a
license to wed to Porter Tiger, 23.
and Lucy Allen, is, both of Bristow.
They .were married by Justice of the
Peace Root at 12 o'clock yesterday.
Mr. Rot in speaking of the couple
said: “They were both full blood In-
dians and were models of the educat-
ed Red Man and proved that the In-
dian can acquire both education and
culture." They return<“d to Bristow
shortly after the ceremony, where
they will reside.

ability and to his having in his fam-
ily six Republicans and two suffra-
gettes to help him look after the cit-
izens' interests. The day of reckon-
ing came—and when the smoke of
battle had cleared away, it was found
that the millionaire won over the
next highest man (the man with the
Republicans and suffragettes) by
abot 1,002 votes.
"The campaign was disastrous in
this: thal the lawyers’ statement of
law was true and the charges that the
millonalr * had really "lxtrimerlzed"
the district apiieared to be so em-
phatically correct that a protest
aasinst his nomination has been pre-
pared and circulated. Although such
movements usually die in their in-
fancy of malnutrition, this one has
had excellent food, for was it not well
known that Sentor l/orimer had
been unseated because he had been
too "rich" in his candidacy? And
had ni t the popu!ar Mr. Theron Gat-
lin, of St. Louis been unseated in
spite of his personal popularity at
home, all because a too loving papa
and spent too much entertainment
) stand for it. Continuing Mr Mat- whtk his R()n was a candidate'? And
The Emmet West-Tommy Dixou
bout which was fought last night on-
ly went six rounds because of the
small house, hut edvryone there felt
that they had their money's worth at
the end of the entertainment.
West surprised a number of his
friends here and put up a better fight
than nearly everyone exacted. He
fought Dixon to a draw and was fresh
at the finish. There are no marks on
him this morning and Tie is going
about his usual daily tasks the same
as if there had been no tight. This
will show the fighting promoters all
over tlie country that West can do
more than talk aiid will raise his
stock t least 25 points All Saipulpa
is proud of West this morning and
he was kept busy today shaking
hands with his many admirers.
Dixon left last night for Kansas
City 'where he will tight sometime in
the near future. He made many
friends in his stay here and will re-
ceive a warm welcome t any time he
can manage to be in Sapulpa.
Reside the main bout there were
three preliminaries. T ehlast only
lasted 15 seconds and there was only
one blow struck when our friend
from the country had to grab the
ropes to keep from going down. He
was assisted to the dressing rcom
where his nose had the proper med-
ical attention.
The main tight as a whole was the
best pulled off here for some time,
although there wa» not a very good
house.
NICK
HONEST
FLAYED THE OLD VICK WITH CANDIDATES TELLING A °a/n/,()
FKOFLE'S HORSES AND l*KO-
I’ERTY AND NOW MIST
STAND TRIAL.
The much delayed case against
Nick Siiciger came up before Justice
of Peace Root yesterday afternoon
at 2 o’clock. A. .1. Wildman, the pop-
ular senior partner of the law firm of
Frazier and Wildman, conducted the
prosecution in the absence of Couu-
t) Attorney Vick Decker.
Speiger was found guilty and was
bound over to the next term of the
district court and in default of a $L-
000 bond was committed to Jail.
There are twelve or fourteen canes
pending in the courts against Spt i-
ger. Tlie number and the way In-
does things lead many peo-ple to thlnll
h is demented. After the insanity
board pased on him the second time ,,
it was decided to send him to the ,
home for the feeble-minded at Yinita,
but only women and children are ad-
mitted there and he was brought
back to Sapulpa to answer to the
horse stealing charge.
This charge came from the fact
that Speiger had been taking horses
which testimony seemed top rove had
done no damage to his property aud
1 barging the owners $5 to recover
them. A city ordinance provides that
horses and all stock can run loose on
North Heights and under this ordi-
nance Speiger is liable to a larceny
chaige for taking up stock not on his
premises.
A
son said:
"1 have a copy of Daniels' expenses
^nd there is no doubt but that they
are fixed. 1 can 'prove my assertion,
too.” When asked whether his ac-
tion was prompted by "Progressive”
interests the attorney smiled and
said: “The progressives ire all
against such unlawful campaigns ev-
en as Hon. Theodore Roosevelt op-
posed the infamous Mr. Lorimer."
Continuing he said:
“The recent campaign for the Re-
publican nomination for congress-
man from the Third congressional
Aistrict of Oklahoma, was one of the
most spectacular and disastrous cam-
paigns that we have witnessed for a
long time. It was spectacular in tliis,

iels, of Tulsa, is a millionaire( or at
hast he says so himself) yet who is
not rated in either Bradstreet's or
R. <1. Dunns, said lie was prepared to
spend a fortune to secure the nom-
ination and another fortune for elec-
tion. He held himself out to rhe Re-
publicans as a very desirable candi-
date for the reason that he would
throw all of his resources into the
has not the unseating of Congress-
men C. C Dowham been recommend-
ed by the C. S. elections committee
because he had spent the sum of $7,-
194-00 for his election and the Sapul-
■pa Evening Democrat thereupon re-
marked editorially, ’Carry the news
to Daniel.' And horror of horrors!
Did not the leading Republican organ
the Tulsa World, say when it was
found th.it Mr. Daniels was nominat-
ed: ‘R. T. Daniels got the nomina-
tion. of course. Why shouldn't he.
He bought and paid for it.’
“Verily the monied interests are
finding out that the days of the rich
nian are hard. In these days his
paths lead into stony places; for tlie
common people seem inclined to give
only stones when they ask for the
“bread” of special privileges, (spe-
cially in politics.
“Already the Democratic iiapers are
taking up the hue aud cry and unless
the Republican party repudiates Dan-
iels now, his candidacy will injure
the whole Republican ticket," said
Mr. Matson He thereupon produced
a copy of the Bristow Record, edited
MOOSE
INITIATE POLICE CHIEF JUNES
IN NOV EL MANNER.
The Moose have adopted a novel
method to add members to their
lodge.
The new scheme was tried out on
Chief of Police Jones the ether day
and proved entirely successful.
Mr. Jones wa« conferring with the
commissioners on some important
business abot 8 o'clock on the even-
ing he was to become a Moose, when
a phone call came in stating that
some one had been killed in the
Moose hall and tliai they want d
him at once.
Everyone at the city hall at the
time get on the tire engine and went
i up. When Mr. Jones arrived he was
! shoved in with the ones to he initial-
led and told that he had come to in-
I vestlgate his own death which would
take place in a few minutes. He s
! now a full-fledged Moose and is as
| happy as can be. He won’t aay
whether he is a "Hull Moose" or not.
Other towns whose police chiefs
, who are slow to enter the local or-
jders should get wise and try it on
their law-enforcing official. •
