1 ted by the legislature and did not fol-
low the usual route of initiated meas-
! urea.
Measure to Be Submitted to 4th Leg-
islature Contains Novel Features
—Preference Primaries Fa-
vored.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—Another
meeting of the committee to draft an
election law to be submitted to the
Fourth legislature will be held here
on December 27, with a view of agree- !
Ing upon the final draft of the pro-
posed act. At the meeting a few days !
ago the various phases of the meas- i
ure were apportioned to the members
of the committer for writing.
The new act will abolish the pres-
ent state election board, and make j
the secretary of state secretary of .
elections, with two other state offi-
cers as the board of canvassers. In
this, the proposed law will follow the
last Democratic platform. Rotation
of names of candidates is also pro-
posed, thus doing away with the ad-
vantage accruing to a candidate
whose name begins with the letter
"A," a circumsance that places him
at the top of the list of candidates
for a given office. It will also be pro- ;
vided that to become a candidate for j
office a fee must be paid to the sec- >
retary of state, the money so collect- ;
ed goes into the state's general reve- ,
nues, and is expected to cover a large
part, if not all, of the election ex-
penses.
Another feature is a presidential
preference primary. Instruction is
binding upon the delegates to the na-
tional convention. The act will seek
to require a majority of the vote to
nominate in the primary for state of-
fices, by the elector expressing his
first or other choice of candidates,
and the winner will be required to ob-
tain a majority of the first and sec-
ond choice expressions. If in a coun-
ty, for instance, no one has a major-
ity, then a second primary is held.
Senator Owen's "corrupt practice"
idea is to be included, likewise many
provisions of the Oregon election laws.
William H.- Murray is chairman of
the committee and Hubert Bolen, mem-
ber of the legislature from Oklahoma
eounty, is secretary.
Oklahoma Game Wardens to Protect
Deer and Birds.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—A campaign
has been inaugurated by the state de-
partment against huters who are in-
vading the hills and mountains of
Eastern Oklahoma and shooting game
and birds before the regular fall sea-
son opens. Arrests have been made
of several hunting parties which have
come in from other states, usually re-
maining near the border where escape
into an adjoining state would be easy.
The season for shooting buck deer,
quail and wild turkey opens November
15, and remains open until December
15, during which time one animal may
be shot by each hunter. There is no
open season for female and young
deer without horns. Antelope may
not be shot until after November 15
of next year. The quail season ex-
tends to February 1 and the bag limit
is twenty-five birds in one day or
150 in a season. Wild Turkey may
be shot until January 1, and in addi-
tion, gobblers may be shot from March
15 to April 15 of each year. The bag
limit is three turkeys in a season.
Extra assistant deputy game war-
dens have been assigned to the deputy
wardens who have charge of the East-
ern Oklahoma districts for the pur-
pose of assisting in keeping the hunt-
ers out of the state until the season
opens.

"Well, how's every little thing, now
! that election is over?" asked the re-
| cently arrived washing machine agent.
" 'Bout as they are every place else,
| I reckon," a bit pessimistically replied
! the landlord of the Turgldtown tavern.
! "The banker, the storekeepers, the
j lumber yard man, the doctor, the stock
i buyer, the blacksmith and all the rest
j of the business men who have always
| 'peared to be capable of managing
their various sized affairs successfully,
are going on calmly and carefully at-
tending to 'em, while all the triflin',
one-gallused incompetents that have
never had any affairs of their own to

any, are out hotfoot and hell-bent t^

Mrs. Reuter Out on Bond.
Tulsa, Okla.—Judge A. A. Brecken
ridge denied the motion of County
Attorney Mallery, that Mrs. Laura M. ,
Reuter, charged with the murder of
her husband, Charles T. Reuter, be
remanded to jail without bail. The
court allowed her to remain at liberty
under the $5,000 bond she gave at the
preliminary investigation of the case
last May. A motion for Guy Mac- \
kenzie and Joe Baker, under life sen-
tence on the same charge, that the ;
state pay for the cost of an appeal
to the criminal court of appeals on !
the ground that the defendants are
without means, was denied by the
court. Judge Breckenridge served
notice that he would issue papers
committing the two men to the peni-
tentiary. The trial of Mrs. Reuter will 1
coma up in January. If a change of
venue is granted the case is expected
to go before District Judge L. M. Poe
of this city.

tion of F_ M. Davis of this city, a

speedy organization, Mr. Davis is se-
curing the names of supporters of the

tire state has been organized, a big
ccnvenion shall be held in some cen-
tral city.

• Frontier Medical List.
In good old frontier days castor oil
was the principal medical beverage—•
good full measures, too. Only the big-
gest person could hold a whole dose—•
one-half a dlpperful, with half a dip-
perful of New Orleans molasses add-
ed to help slick it down and make it
taste good, only It didn't taste good.
In those historic days every old wom-
an was a doctor and gathered her own
"yarbs" in the woods and knew how
to mix up medical messes that would
stir the vitals of a brass monkey or
a cast iron dog. All backwoodsmen
believed in "yarb" doctors. Something
In "yarbs," at that.
Ominous.
"I like affectionate animals. Does
this dog attach himself to people
easily?"
"Not if they can run faster than ha
can?"
No Meningitis Epidemic.

covered.

ust 21.

Guthrie, Okla.—Judge W. C. Tete-
rick, for years a Republican leader in
Oklahoma, died at Blackwell. He was
one of the six delegates at large from
Oklahoma to the national convention
in 1904.
Good Reason.
"Why do you call the popular gam a
poker?" ^
"Because It stirs things up."
No One Can Say She Lies.
Bartlesville, Okla.—"I wouldn't let
any man call me a liar, much less a
woman," declared Mrs. Ada Rhett in
police court the other day, when she
was tried for assault upon Mrs. Lizzie
I Huston. She paid a fine of $12.
"Well, it was worth it," she said. The
I women had attended a sewing party,

I ed her nose. A policeman separated
them. Both women are prominent in
1 social circles.
