Lcglsiators Claim Editor* Are Not
Acquainted With Desire of Peo-
ple—Question of Politic*.
Oklahoma City, Ok., Sep. 7.—The
fact that Gov. Cruce haa been un-
able to observe the necessity for a
Wt.rm dsma** la Al^Wca abdistuaU matt-rials. The Rock Islud
Mississippi nas been extensive' the1 Employes Magazine a monthly pub

In the week. Many acres hav been
stopped from further growth and
fitting of bollB by being entirely
stripped of all foliage and new fruit
formation. Boll weevils hav put
an end to making cotton in Louis-
iana, southern Mississippi and south
special session of the Legislature, if (erll Arkansas, the damage from this
pest appearing now greater than was
generally anticipated.
"Cotton is generally opening very
rapidly and picking is begun in all
districts and will very soon probably
in full headway. The farmers be
he crop is not a big one
and many correspondents report that
they are not willing sellers and will
bold after selling early pickings if
the price does not improve."
for no otber reason Uian laying out
elgbt new Congressional districts, is
a source of genuine surprise to man)
democratic political leaders. When
inquiries left the executive office
to members of the Legislature ask- j
ing advice as to the extra session,\ tha
belief became general that the Gov
ernor was paving the way for Ur-
eal! to be mad". In the responses
however, there is about 25 per cent
against the session. Gov. Cruce r.
mailed the same letter to 800 news-
paper editors, asking them to as-
certain what their people thought
about U. The "no" side of the
question from this source is greatly
in the lead, and since they are
presumed to reflect what the people
thiilg about it, the belief of three
weeks ago that a session was at
bard has now swung in the otb<*r
direction.
Consultation with editors on the
■u^Ject bas raised the ire of many
of the legislators. A few of them
hate been outspoken in their son
nets. They plainly charged thai
the editor, while nominally a mold
•r of public opinion, is not close
acquainted with the needs of the
State. Were the people to under
stand the situation, legislators say
tbey would be in favor of a s*-ssior.
The percentage of editors ho
actually made street canvasses
small. Most of the replies so fa
made public in lude the ediotr s in
dividual opmion, based upon wba
ie has gathered from desultory con
versailons In the past. Legislators
maintain that the question put to the
people bas bee*. Do you believe
special session of the Legislature
should be held?" and not "Do you
believe there should be an extra sess
ion for the purpose of making eight
Congressional districts so the State
may Lave its full represe nation
Congr~ s by districts in place of
electing tbem at large; also for th
purport of attending to the Sta
capital situation, since there ap^ a"=
t/s b* r.o possibility of the Sta* > be
lnj ben?i:*ed by the contract mod
last winter?"
Whether th« question was propre
ly stated or not. those who did mak
a canvass of the streets found Okla
fcoma communities to be as they are
In other States; that for some rea
•on, there exists a well-settled con
vlction that legislative sessions are
not remunerative to the people. One
editor found that S5 per cent of the
people iie met believed there was no
necessity for a special session, and
quite a number of them ventured the
ojrinion that "if the Legislature would
never meet again the State would be
better for It."
Members of the Legislature who
favor a session do so largely from
tie focal point of political expend!
eucy. Tfcey realize that by the time
the 171,000 put up by Oklahoma City
for "free" quarters until the Stat'
house was completed here Is exhaust
ed the State will be called upon to
pay about ISO,000 a year In rents
aad that something should be done
about the State capital as soon as
possible. But the big issue with
them is that of Congressional dis-
Hcta. and a matter which they
*ard as most vital. Here Is their
position:
The Oklahoma Legislature is now
sufficiently Democratic to place the
•Decency clause to any bill enact-
ed, also to safeguard the party's in-
terest. If the State Is not redistrl i
ed and the three additional member?
elected at large were not Democrats.
tken the Democratic party «ou!d
•lace the blame only at bteir own
threshold If the question of re-
disricting Is relegated to the next
Legislature, who knows what the
Democratic majority will be, and.
they ask. Is there any settled as-
surance that It will be Democratic at
all?

ment was irregular and not general.
"To central and northern and west-

that with a delayed frost the late

Shadr Bend, Kan., Sept. 10.—Fif-
teen men and boys, all of thecr mem-
bers of wealthy Lin-oln county fami-
lies, who. on the night of August 7
last, dragged .Miss Mary Chamberlain
26 years old. school teacher and
daughter of Joseph Chamberlain,
wealthy farmer, from a buggy
which she was riding with Edward
Ricord and applied a coat of tar
to her body, will go to prison if W.
W. McCanles, county attorney, can
possibly send them there. Mr. Mc-
Canles made this statement .Saturday.
He declared that he had more than
enough evidence to obtain convictions
in ail the cases and that he would
accept nothing but jail sentences for
he men found guilty.
On the night of August 7, Kicord
confessed , he was employed to lure
Miss Chamberlain to a lonely 6pot.
He asked her to attend a dance and
when they reached the place where
ether men were waiting, the girl as
taken from the buggy and given
coat of tar. Later Ricord was
rested and sentenced to s-rve a year
in jail for his part of the outrage.
"While the Kansas law does not
provide punishment for this crime
md we have to prosecute und«-r as
sault and battery charge." Mr. Me
Canles said. "I will insist on a jail
sentence. I won't stand for a line as
a penalty. The guilty men all must
go to jail."
Mr. McCanles and Stuart C. Wol
ford. sheriff of Lincoln county, have
Uoroughly investigated rumors cir-
culating about Miss Chamberlain.
Both men declare the reports ground
ess. The accused men are prepar-
lag to sp< nd every thing they have
to escape conviction, employing the
best legal talent.

served and a pardon given him by
Governor Colquitt of Texas.
To help influence the Texas chief
executive to this step. Miss Kate
Barnard, state commissioner of chari-
ties and corrections, will probably be
askd to visit Austin in Hamilton's
behalf, liamiltion is willing to re-
turn to prison and an officer is ex-
