DISCHARGED ON OEMURKEI
The defendants Curtis Flippin, A. W.
Kelley and Lee Thompaon indicted by
the recent grand jury on eight counta
charging embrzzlement, were discharge
ec by Judge Brown Tueaday morning
on a demurrer filed by attorneya for the
defendants. Judge Brown ruled that
the criminial court of appeala of this
state had already decided that it wa*
impossible to embezzle public fund* in
thi* state aa there i* no law covering
| a crime of thi* kind. The court of ap-
I peals some time ago ruled on a ca*e of
this kind and called the attention of
1 the legialature to the fact that we have
no law covering embeitlement by a
; public officer.
Flippin and Kelly were township
officer* and the grand jury found In-
dictment* against them charging that
Lue Thompson had been /paid money
by them for work he had never done.
The county commiationera alleged that
something like $7,000 had thus been
squandered in Verdigris township.

FROM THE SOCIALISTS
Claremore. Okta Jan. 29. 1912
Editor Progress: The citizens of
Claremore were grestly interested in
the poll of presidential preference pub-
lished in Thursday's Daily, and among
all your readera there were none more
interested than the Socialists of the
i town hot they were greatly surprised
to And but a:x Socialists reported aa
hiving expressed any preference in
any way, wherets some twenty or
thirty claim to have done so. Now ss
a mere matter of news as well as to
correct a possible misapprension of th«
Socialist strength in the city, two ot

hours secured the enclosed liat of namea
Besides this list of forty-eight nsmes

more who for business reasons do not
want it known they are Socialists.
Bro. Kates, it seems that the world
needs Socialism or something else,
when good honest men fear to express
their politicsl convictions, lest they en-
danger their bread and buttar. These
names and blanks, sixty-eight in sll.
do not represent the full Socialist
strength in tha city, but only those
secured in a couple of hours' hasty
work. If you can sae your way clesr

In the foot by Albert Bradahaw eeveral

result Brsdi-haw has been rearrested

attack of pneumonia, although at the

suffering from a severe ease of blood
