The Chelsea Commercial
Chelsea, I T
Gentlemen:—
Infor mation has just rcuched
me that there was a ruinor on
your streets that I had con Lived
with the Nowata delegation and
Ed.Campbell of Alluwee to run
the Nowata district down 011 to
the Chelsea territory for the pur
pose of defeating Chelsea's
chances for a county-seat; in
ihis connection you are advised
that tlilb rumor is absolutely
false and without any foundation
whatever. In the first place I
have not seen either of the nomi-
nees for delegate for the Nowata
district or Mr. Ed Campbell,
since my nomination, and have
not spoken to any person what-
ever concerning this matter, ex-
cept what I have said to the
Chelsea people whom I have told
and promised to act in this mat-
ter for Chelsea's interest and to
be governed by her Commercial
club, and the wishes of her citi-
zens. And to this pledge I again
aft) rm and assert myself. Any
rumor or contradiction of this*
matter is erroneous and is simp-
ly made for election thunder by
my opponent. I desire to say
further that I have conducted
this campaign on the level. 1
have not attacked the personal
character of niy opponent or took
any unfair advantage and do r. t
intend to do so.
And if elected, as I am sure to
be-Chelaea and every other por-
tion of this district will receive
my best efforts to promote tin r
interests, and the interests "f
the whole state at large. I ap-
peal to the sober and fair-mind-
ed men of this district for their
supi>ort and I feel sure that the
honest, conservative people of
Chelsea and of the whole district
will earnestly consider the mat-
ter and not l>e swerved by ru-
mors and prujudices are which
wholly unreliable.
Yours truly,
A- p. MpRTON.
1 immensity of the shortage exist-
ing'
Com-1 Not yet has the always extra-
ordinary demand for cars to
move the great harvests of tin-
country really begun. This is
eoir. ing and railroad managers
do not know how it into be met.
Business must be more or less
delayed by the clogging of trans-
portation; and the fault finding
will be, as the boys say, "some-
thing fierce." loiter in the sea-
son tne strain may pe relaxdd.
Down East. Nov. 6.
Two Cent Railway Fare.
Within two years the inaxi*
mum passenger rate between
the Missouri river and the At-
lantic cost will bo 2 cents per
mile, according to some of the
ablest passenger officials in the
country.
The special meeting of the
mileage bureau of the Central
Passenger association has been
indetinately imsp'ined. It is un-
likely that any further effort
will be mad • cither by the pas-
senger oftit als or their super-
iors to prevent tlx- inauguration
on Xoveinb< lofa fiat rate of
2 cents per mile by nil lines in
the territor of the Central as-
sociation, bounded on the west
by Chicago and St. Louis and on
the east by Buffalo, Pittsburg
and Jamestown.
The coming trouble in passen-
ger rates, which is bound to in-
volve tlm railroads wust as well
as ea t of CMcago, is primarily
due to the passage by several
eastern states of a law making
_ cents per mile maximum rate.
Crazy Snake a Republican.
Sam Richards, a well known
fiiJian citizen of Checota, was
in the city Saturday and says
Chitte Hargo, the famous leader
of the Snake clan, has decided to
cast his lot with the Republican
party. His band of followers
will naturally do likewise.
This comes as a surprise from
the fact that Chittie Harjo has
oppos- d the government for
years und has worked against
the allotment of land to the In-
dians. Mr. Richards is ac-
quainted with many of the
Snakes and says there is no
reason for this action by the
noted leader except that he has
just decided to line up with the
Repuplicans. In Mr. Richaids
opinion, the Snakes will vote the
Repulican ticket to a man.
At Eufaula a Republican club
of 125 Indians has beenorganized
by Lewis McGilbra, a well-known
Indian c tizen.—Phoeuix.

The Car Shortage.
When the railroads of the
country are short of freight they
are in trouble; when they are
short of cars to haul the freight
that offers, they are also in
trouble, but of another kind
the trouble of a prosperity of
which they cannot fully avail
themselves.
For months the newspapers
have teemed with items regard-
ing new equipment ordered,
Locomotives and passenger
cars by the hundred, and fright
cars by the thousand, ha-'e been
demanded. All the equipment
shops have been overwhelmed,
Now the great railroads cannot
promptly serve the shippers for
lack of cars. They cannot move
their trains and get them un-
loaded fast enough. Waiting
freight ia piled up in their store-
houses. At Pittsburg the other
day all receipts of freight had
to be suspended for thirty-six
hours, until the existing con-
gestion could be relieved.
We do not know how many
more freight cars could be used
but the New York Central says

Roosevelt For Charley Hughes.
The first public- utterance of
President Roosevelt touching
upon the champaign in this state
was conveyed to a Republican
mass meeting at Copper union
tonight in the form of an endor-
sement of the gubernatorial can-
didacy of Charles E. Hughes.
Marcus Braun, chairman of
the gathering, read the message
as follows:
"Anyone who behoves or who
tried to corn y the impression
that I am not heart and soul for
Mr. Hughes, is wilfully or inad-
vertibly under a delusion. I ain
tirst, last and all the time for
Governor Hughes, because I
know and feel that he stands
precisely for the same principles
that I stand for,
"I authorise you to make that
statement to your friends on the
east side wit.i all the emphasis
that is in you.
Braun wen. to Washington to
carry to the president the con-
gratulation < f Hungarian Re-
publican Club of this city in the
Anniversary of the president's
forty eighth birthday. The ex
pressions from the president
was received witV tremendous
applause-

Committee Needs More Time.
The committee of the fire
I nited States senators who are
tocometo Ionian Territory next
month to investigate, primarily
the coal laud situation and reoorn-
mend a plan of sale, and to gath-
er general information to be used
in congressional legislation this
winter, propose to spend but
threedaysin Muskogee and the
same time in McAlester. Citizens
of both places know that no defi-
nite knowledge can be obtained in
that length of time, au ihey are
making arrangements to induce
tho senators to remain longer in
these two places.
The committee will meet in the
Baltimore hotel in Kansas City
November 12 for conference be-
fore starting to the Territory. At
that time there will lie a number
of men front the two towns go to
Kansas City to try to induce a
longer visit at McAlester and
Muskogee. There all the infor-
mation as to the coal mines must
be gathered. At Muskogee are
all the government records.
There the senators must gather
n.^tof their Information about
Indian land*, titles, leases and
the actual needs of the Indians,
the status of their homesteads anil
the operations of the land sales
system and the restriction divis-
ion. In addition. Muskogee and
McAlester are tne two plaoes
most accessible to citisens of
other towns who want to Bee the
committee. and it is desired that
as many as possible of these come
to these two towns.
In fact, most of the information
that is to lie gathered that is not
from actual observation is ob-
tainable at these two points, and
the people want the senators to
net a different kind ol informa-
tion than thut obtained from the
rear end of a train running
through tbe country at sixty miles
an hour. Past experience has
proved that this kind of informa-
tion is not very profitable.
It is lielieved that practically
all the legislation that Indian Ter-
ritory will be based on informa-
tion snd recommendation of this
committee. Therefore it is im-
portant that they get a correct
idea of conditions and the kind of
legislation that will he effective
when it is passed.
Handy With Knife.
Last Fridry night there was a
dance and a fight at the home of
Mat Fields 12 miles west of Vi-
nita. J. Jackson had been drink-
ing, it is said; at least he was full
of fight, and in his picking aroung
for a fuss tackled F. Marang and
called him some names, after
which Marang struck him, Jack-
son used a knife to good advan-
tage on Marang, cutting a gash
under his left arm and sliced his
chin, causing him to bleed al-
most to death before getting to a
surgeon.
Marang went to Vinita Mon
day morning to see the officers
of the law in reference to havincr
a warrant issued for the arrest
of Jackson.
Governor Is Exonerated,
The president has received the
report of the committe recently
sent to Oklahoma to investigate
the charges preferred against
Governor Frantz. Tlie report
completely exonorates the gover-
nor, and will undoubtedly be ap-
proved by the president.
To Free Ireland.
T. P. O'Connor, M, P., the
Irish parlimentary leader, in a
speech, after describing his
visit to President Roosevelt in
W ashington and the presidents
acts as a peacemaker, says:
"Hie time may come, and I
would not be surprised if it came
before long, when the man who
ended the struggle between Ja-
pan and Russia will say some-
thing that will bring about a
realization of the demands of the
Irish people for independence.
Gives the Medicine Away.
J- "Champagne" Dunn the big
mogul at the I^ee hotel has given
orders that no newspaper man,
unless he is in possession of a
passport signed by the Lord of
the Chamber, Lord Roy Stafford
shall enter into his august pres-
ence. "Champagne" says sever-
al bunches of state secrets have
been disclosed to the enemy and
such work must stop.—Oklaho-
ma Republic.
Indians on Warpath
Sheridoii, Wyo., Oct. 29—Cav-
alry now approaching bands of
renegade Utes from five different
points and it is only a question
of time until the redskins are
forced to surrender or be annihil-
ated. The band is making di-
rect for the Cheyenne agency.

Bystander got it.
Frank Shelton and Billie Staf-
ford quarreled on the streets of
Beaver Oklahoma, and during the
altecartion a shot was fired
which stauck a bystander,
George Perry, in the leg, inflict-
ing a wound which may make
amputation neceesary. Both
Shelton and Stafford were strug-
gling for possession of the weap-
when it was discharged on.
Was a Woodman.
Mr Crabtree, the Frisco sec-
tion master who was killed by a
train Sunday, was a member of
Modern Woodman lodge 7051 at
Vinita and his family will receive
$1000 from that order—quite a
help to them in this their hour
of distress.
