REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
DECIDES TO TAKE ELECTION
INTO COURTS
FRANTZ RECEIVES LETTERS
GHMRMKN HAS NUMEROUS AFFIDAVITS
Proceedings to Be Instituted in Fed-
eral Courts in Indian Territory
and District Courts In Okla-
homa—Various Alleged
Irregularities
OKLAHOMA CITY; Election con-
teats will be Instituted by Chairman
Hunter, under authority of a resolu-
tion adopted by the republican state
committee at Its meeting here last
week, In each of the sixty-eight coun-
ties where irreguJarltleB are alleged.
Procedlngs will be Instituted In the
federal courts In Indian Territory, and
in the district court of each county In
Oklahoma where evidence of fraud
ex.sts. as to county, district, legisla-
tive and congressional officer*. Con-
tests will also be brought as to state
officers In the various counties in the
name of some republican candidate.
The election of C. N. Haskell will be
contested rb soon as the state canvass-
ing board declares the result at Guth-
rie, If the result Is unfavorable to
Frantz. It Is also probable that In-
junction proceedings will be started
in the district court of Logan county
to restrain the board from Issuing a
certificate of election to Haskell as
governor, and others of the state
ticket.
The contests will start In Okfuskee
county, where It Is alleged tho demo-
cratic board of commissioners re-
fused to count 608 ballots, on the
ground that some were mutilated and
others were cast in a precinct where
an election Inspector was serving Ir-
regularly. If mo county cnnvasslng
board Is compelled to count the 002 al-
leged Illegal ballots It will result in
the election of Frank Hubbard, repub-
lican, In the Third district, to con-
gress over James Davenport, demo-
crat, and In the election of a republi-
can representative, senator and dis-
trict Judge.
It is alleged that contests to be In-
stituted In the courts of the vote In Ki-
lls. Oklahoma and other counties on
the Oklahoma side will elect T. B. Fer
guson to congress In the Second dis-
trict instead of E. 1<. Fulton, demo-
crat.
The decision of the committee to
contest the election was reached after
Chairman Hunter had read the con
tents of 100 affidavits from sixty-eight
counties, alleging gross frauds and ir-
regularities. '
The resolution follows:
"Be It resolved that Chairman Hun-
ter n<l his conferees be, and they
hereby are, heartily and fully In
dorsed, and they are hereby Instructed
and authorized to take such steps in
the Interest of the republican party,
and do any and all things wliloh, In
their Judgment, may be necessary to
secure a fair count; a correct declara
tlon or the results of the election, and
a proper consideration of pending
questions by the president and con
Kress, which affect the welfare of the
citizens of Oklahoma."
The democrats charge that the re-
publicans are only seeking to delay the
certification of the vote to President
i^osevelt, and by attempting to show
fraud to prevent the admission of the
state. Republicans, however, strenu-
ously deny any Intention to block
statehood.
Anarchists From Different Points
Write Oklahoma Governor
GUTHRIE: Kver since the publica-
tion appeared concerning the receipt
of an Infernal machine ihrough thi;
malls by Governor Frank Frantz, al-
most every mall has brought to his
office letters from various portions of
the United States, all of an anarch-
istic nature and all containing threats
against men of prominence. None
have made threats against Frantz him-
self. but evidently at the present time
he has attracted the attention of this
class.
Dr. Hugh Scott, the governor's sec- j
retary, paid but little attention to i
these for several days, but their In-
creasing number finally caused him
to make known the fact when two i
letters of this kind were received.
One was from Cleveland. Ohio, un- I
signed, extremely anarchistic in its '
expressios and threatening principal- j
ly the lives of John 1). Rockefeller and j
Samuel Oompers.
The other was from Long Beach, .

GET STAMPS FROM ARKANSAS
Oklahoma's Internal Revenue Collec-
tion Taken From Kansas
WASHINGTON: John G. Capers,
commissioner of Internal revenue, has ] homa
decided to add the internal revenue
collection district of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory to the district of
Arkansas. This will take it away
from Kansas, to which It has been
assigned for many years.
Several reasons are given for the
change. One of them is that the stamp
office at Fort Smith, Ark., is directly
on the border of the two states and is
much more convenient than any point
In Kansas. The stamp office in Kan
sas at Leavenworth, is 1.">0 miles
away.
For the fiscal year ending June SO,
1906, the total collections for the Kan
sas district were $303,147.48, of this
amount $78,900 came from Oklahoma
and $12,200 from Indian Territory,
leaving $238,939 for Kansas. The col-
lections for Arkansas in the same per-
iod were $125,046.05.

OKLAHOMA CITY: A special to
the Oklahoman from Guthrie says:
The republicans ' have abandoned
the threatened coutests. which were
to have been made on the ground of
Irregularities In the recent election.
No fight will be made to prevent
officers elected by the voters from
entering upon their duties as soon at
as Oklahoma lias been proclaimed a
state by President Roosevelt.
This Is virtually the announcement
made by Governor Frank Frantz here.
He said:
"It iB my opinion that the newspa-
per reports that President Roosevelt
has promised to sign the constitution
are true. 1 have called off a several
days' visit with the national guard,
now In camp at Fort Reno and will
not acoompany the president on his
Louisiana hunting trip. I will acorn-
pany the President from Keokuk, la.,
to St Louis. Then I will return home
and get thlugs In shape to turn over
the territorial administration to the
newly elected state officers."
Governor Frantz returned to Guth-
rie from a week's visit in Missouri.

is that the Oklahoma democrats sus
; pected what he was aiming at and
corrected some of the most obnoxious
features of the gerrymander.
The question now Is, how will the
house of representatives look upon the
, matter? If somebody must be fined
nr go to jail, under the drastic statute
j passed by congress two years ago,
must Dr. North be the unfortunate
victim?
Oliver Swan, a deputy marshal, was
killed at Wilburton last week while
attempting to arrest W. A. Johnson, a
negro. The negro made his escape.
A possee was hurrrledly organized and
started in pursuit.

GRANT A TWO-CENT FADE
WILL OBEY ORDER OF COURT UN-
DER PROTEST—OKLAHOMA
INTERESTED
TOPEKA, KAN.: A statement has
been filed with the Kansas railway
commissioners, signed by the general
counsel for all the roads in the state,
stating that the two cent fare will be
put in operation tbat suits will be
filed.
The statement from the roads fol-
lows:
"The undersigned railway companies
announce that they propose to put into
effec.', under protest, on October 5,
1907, and maintain the same, pending
litigation, the two cent fare passenger
rate as recently ordered by you, and
prior to putting the same into effect
propose to file suits In the courts chal-
lenging the said rate." .
Governor Hoch Issued a statement
In which he said the railroad commis-
sioners had prepared a new freight
rate schedule and would, in a short
time, order It Into effect.
This schedule, It Is understood,
makes a big reduction.
In case of a two cent fare becoming
operative in Kansas. Oklahoma can
enter a demand for a two cent fare, as
the original charters of most of the
roads guaranteed as cheap a lare as In
the states surrounding.
INSISTS ON RECORDS
Judge Lawrence May Cancel the Com-
missions of Notaries
MUSKOGEE: On election day in
Muskogee and in many counties, no-
taries were at the polls ready to fur-
nish afndavlts that voters were legal-
ly qualified. In most of uiese cases
no record was kept—none was want-
ed. Now Judge William R. Lawrence,
who has always been a stickler on
the subject of notaries *eeping com-
prehensive records, wants to know
where the notaries' records are.
It locks like those who failed to
keep a record, or who are unwilling
to show them will lose their commis-
sions. It is understood that there are
about thirty notaries who are In this
predicament. Most of the affidavit.-'
wore made for negroes who wanted
to vote.
URGES LARGE ATTENDANCE
Chairman Case of Trans-Mississippi
Congress Believes It Necessary
BARTLESVILLE: J. B. Case, chair-
man of the executive committee of
the trans-Mississippi congress to be
held In Muskogee, came to Bartles-
ville to impress on the people of thi-
section of the territory tho Importance
of a large and representative attend
ance at the congress.
"It is specially important," said Mr.
Case, "that the people ot Indian Ter
rltory send delegations which will
work for the adoption of a resolution
calling on congress to remove restrlr
tions. A resolution adopted at this
gathering next December will act on
the next session of congress as noth-
ing else will. Our meeting will be
composed of delegations from every
big city and commercial organization
west of the Mississippi river."
Trust Company Quits Banking
MUSKOGEE: The Canadian Valley
Bank and Trust company has sold Its
banking business to the Associated
Banks of Muskogee and has quit the
banking department or its business.
The Canadian company will continue
the trust and townslto business in it-
present quarters. It owns the finest
olfice building in the city.
The reason assigned tor the sale is
that there Is more money In t!je town-
site and trust department t!un there
was iu the banking departmfflt.
ANOTHER INVESTIGATION
Assistant Attorney General Arrives In
Muskogee to Look Up Graft
MUSKOGEE: George M. Ander-
son, assistant In the office of Attor-
ney General Bonaparte, has arrived
here and will take up for Investigation
a number of large Indian claim cases
which are now before the department
at Washington In which It alleged
that there has been graft and that the
Indians are being robbed.
It is understood that some citizen-
ship cases in the Choctaw and Chick-
asaw nations will be the first to be in-
vestigated, but Mr. Anderson refuses
to state just what cases he will probe.
He spent some time acquainting him
self with the methods of doing busi-
ness in the government offices.
T
MI Fill! TI OKI
DOORS OF THE CANADIAN VAL
LEY TRUST COMPANY AT
MUSKOGEE CLOSED
MUSKOGEE: The Canadian Val-
ley Trust company, which closed its
doors Tuesday morning, posting no-
tices that its banking business had
been transferred to other banks in
this city, and that depositors would
be paid, has failed to open its doors.
The associated banks, upon inves-
tigation, found conditions different
from what they expected and have not
taken hold of It. It was agreed that
the other banks of the city would as-
sume the responsibility of the com-
pany if a bond of $100,000 could be
raised, but the Candian Valley peo-
ple were unable to raise the amount.
For the last week it has been known
in financial circuits that the crash
was near at hand. September 20 it
was necessary for other banks in the
city to come to the aid of the Trust
company. On Saturday the company's
paper was protested In St. Louis. On
Friday P. B. Hopkins, president of
the bank, gave the other banks satis-
factory bond for their loans. On Sat-
urday, however, his security was not
accepted and in the following day the
banks began an investigation of the
company's affairs. It was found that
the Trust company had loaned $162,-
000, $46,0000 in excess of the amount
stated by Mr. Hopkins.
The bank Is capitalized for $100,000
and has deposits of $200,000.
WIEL PROVE IT NAVIGABLE
MUSKOGEE BUSINESS MEN WILL
GO TO WATERWAYS CON-
VENTION IN BOAT
MUSKOGEE: Fred Scherubel and
a party of Muskogee business men
who will attend the deep waterways
convention at Memphis In October,
will go down the Arkansas river to
the Mississippi and on to Memphis In
Mr. Scherubel's boat "Wherenow."
They propose to make an unanswer-
able argument for the navigation of
the Arkansas river and just to prove
that it is navigable for smaller craft
without any improvement and at the
lowest stage of water, the boat will
be used. There will be ten men In
the party. The remainder of the
delegation will go by rail. It was pro-
posed for the entire delegation of 30
to go down the river to Memphis in
the Chaparrel, a larger boat, but tnm
was abandoned on account of the time
required to make the trip.
FORTY COUNTY GOVERNMENTS
WILL START IN BUSINESS
WITHOUT MONEY
MAY BE COMPELLED TO ISSUE
New Counties in Indian Territory
Must Make Tax Levy and Wait a
Year for Money—County Officer*
Must Wait for Money
OKLAHOMA CITY: Upon the day
that Oklahoma becomes a state an un-
precedented condition will confront
the people of the Indian Territory
section of the state. Forty county
governments will be put in operation
on the east side without a cent of
money in the county treasuries and
with no prospects of any revenue for
at least a year after the officers take
charge of county affairs. In short,
each county will run on credit and will
either be compelled to issue bonds and
warrants sufucient to cover the ex-
penses of the year following statehood
or perform the impossible feat of find-
ing county officers who will serve for
thai, period without receiving pay.
As a number of the counties in In-
dian Territory have less than 15,000
people the indebtedness incurred in
the first few years of county govern-
ment is apt to be so large that the
counties will be struggling under a
burden of debt for years to come.
Some of these counties are In sections
where much of the land is in the
hands of Indians au^. minors, held as
homesteads and not subject to taxa-
tion.
Indian Territory had no territorial
government with organized counties
to start on, as did Oklahoma Terri-
tory. Farm lands in Indian Territory
have never even been taxed. The en-
tire revenue used in governing Indian
Territory has been appropriated by
congress.
The infant counties of Indian Terri-
tory. therefore, will have to make a
tax levy, which will be done some
time next spring or summer, and wait
until next November, or a year after
the admission of the state, for the first
money to come In. These counties
will have no court houses, jails or
other county buildings when they be-
como full-fledged municipal subdi-
visions of the state and the county of-
ficers will have to find someone will-
ing to rent them office rooms on tick
or transact their affairs outdoors.
When the legislature meets it will
probably authorize these counties to
issue bonds.
On the Oklahoma side conditions
will be different. Counties have been
organized there for years, and the
taxes levied during the present year
will be available for the counties un-
der statehood. Oklahoma brings a
dowry of nearly $1,000,000 surplus
with it into the union, besides $5,000,-
000 appropriated by the enabling uct
for schools, and a large amount of
school lands. This will prevent the
mate officers from waiting a year for
their pay, as some of this money can
be converted into the general fund by
the legislature. The school fund will
also be distributed among the counties
in Indian Territory so that as far as
j school matters are concerned they
will not start out without funds.
The present system of government
! schools for whites, negroes and In-
! dians, will also be continued through
the coming winter and until May of
next year in Indian Territory, so tfiat
the government system of schools can
[ be merged into county systems with-
out a perceptible break, except that
each county will have to build a great
j many houses next summer. The school
houses in Indian Territory at present
are small and inadequate and are
owned jointly by farmers in the com-
munity where the school Is conducted,
the government and Indian tribe
joining only to pay the teachers.
PRESIDENT WILL SIGN IT
OKLAHOMA'S CONSTITUTION CON-
FORMS TO ENABLING ACT,
SAYS PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON: President Roose-
velt will sign Oklahoma's constitution
and Issue his statehood proclamation.
The announcement was made by
the president himself late Thursday
afternoon.
The president and Attorney General
Bonaparte had a long consultation
over the document aud at its conclu-
sion it was stated that the constitu-
tion had been found to comply with
the terms of the enabling act.
The exact date upon which the pres-
ident will promulgate his approval
has not been made known, but it is
believed that it will be forthcoming
immediately after the instrument has
been formally presented to him.
