MOMBASA, B. E. A., April 21 Kx
President ilownvreit is due to arrive
here today, if the steamship Admiral

ha* characterised her voyage hitherto.
Mr. Roosevelt has expressed his con
staivt.delight nt the many pleasures of
the trip.
Moaibasa is a Mtjuat island city, the
largest seaport of ltritish East Africa,
basking in a hot, tropical sun, its Moor-
ish walls reflecting the light and con-
trasting brilliantly with the stately
pa^and tho gold mohiu trqe, with its
iwre.red blossoms. Nestling in the trop-
ical luxuriance are tho European bun-
galows, or nutivo villages. Mombasa
has two hotels, and in the public gar-
dens stands a statue -of Sir William
.Kaclfinnon, one of . tf«a.tufit bcBf
factors of East Africa.
Leaving Mombasa, th* Uganda rail-
way runs past Kilindini and dips down
to Halwbory bridge, a. tint; viaduct 1,700

basa with the mainland, nnd then be
gins the steep climb to the small station
of ChangamwH. The llrst leg into the
wilderness will be made by the Roose-
velt punters by train to Maohako, some
200 miles from Mombasa, where Mr.
Roosevelt will vieit for a fortnight with

GUTHRIE, Okla., April 21 The dem
ocratic leaders of OkKhoma and the
democratic press are requested to *tudy
closely thoftu sections of the Taylor elec-
tion bill, which was passed during the
recent legislative session for the special
purpose of placing in Governor Haskell's
hands all thu election machinery of the
state in regard to raring for and safe-
guarding (V) tho election returns. After
closely studying these sections, the dem-
ocrats are requested to dony if they can
do so honestly thut they make a bid for
crookedness, unfairness, and election
steals.
It is provided, in tho sections spoken
of. that the precinct inspector shall
make returns of the election to the
proper officials, but in ease he docs not
make the returns within the next day
following the election, ho lyses but
two dollars of the three dollars' salary
ho draws as an inspector. Is thnt a
sufficient penalty for holding out elec-
tion returns? l.f he fails to make the
returns within one day he then loses
his full day's-salary of three dollars.
If the inspector, however, fails ti
make the returns within a year follow
ing the election, what is bis penally? A
penitentiary offense for monkeying with
the returns?
Not by any means.
Ills offense is called a "misdemeanor
and he may be fined.
How much?
Twenty-five dollars!
Thus, the entire results of an election
is placed in the hands of one man, who,
if he so desires, may throw away ballots
and returns, or burn them and then
walk into court, plead guilty and pay a
fine of *25r
This mau, a part of the election ma-
chinery in the control, of . the party in
power lor rather of that fraction of the
party in power], may hold, change or de-
lay the announcement of an election, re-
sult for days and all he loses is his 13
salary: or ho may destroy the ballots
and returns, and it will cost him but
825.00.
