o'clock Tuesday afternoon' at Anudarc
ko the: four Democratic candidates

fact that not a bill of any nature an-
nouncing the meeting had been sent
out.
"P.attle Ax' Glover of Grady coun-
ty wa chosen as official time keep-
er and Dan Peery of Anadarko was
chosen a refers who Introduced the
first speaker fc.iuit Kirk of Oklahoma
Ulr.v. The main fniinrn nf Rlrlt's

bition "'question.-! taking- . occasional
shots ac Col. Hobs at hta stand on
prohibition. Kirk's epeech outside
lils little Jests was tamely received.
Murray Had Blood In Hid Eyes. V
The uext speaker coming to the plat
form was "Alfalfa Itill" Murray.
Shen Mr. Murray first arose to speak
ood was lu his eye and he proceed-
ed to grill Lee Cruce at once. He
drew from hU pocket his tax receipts
for the last year and told the crowd
that ljee Cwee could not snow where
he" had paid taxes for the last two
years. He charged him with being
a national banker and a member of one
of the two real estate firms In Ard-
more. He lambasted the Daily Okla-
homan and said that It had auoslute-

stated that the editor was present
and dared Mm to repudiate.lt. He
said "I dare them to make another
..statement Jlhat 1 am mixed up wuh
the McMurray . !rnd fraud charges."
and stated thert 'was. no other Dem-
ocratic newspaper of any circulation
In the state that was as partisan tin-
fair and untruthful as the Daily Ok-
landman. This eemed to make a t
with the audience and cheer after
cheer arose the crowd yelling "Give
It to them give It to them." Murray
reviewed his record briefly as pres-
ident of the constitutional conven-
tion and stated that no man bad ever
questioned his Democracy. He weat
Into details In. regard to the McMur-
ray land frauds and explained to the
entire satisfaction it seemec of those
"present that he was not in any way
connected with the matter. He re-
viewed Hie Torrens land system and
stated that It was the grept thing the
Democratic party could adopt In Ok-
lahoma. Mr. Murray said that the people
all over the state are accusing blm
of being a squaw man and he cre-
ated a great deal of laughter when
he said: ;
"On my father's side way back In
Scotland was Bancroft the historian
who gave to Scotland Mr. Murray
the great regent. XTomlng on dow.n
he gave to Oklahoma. "Alfalfa Hill"
; Murray the sage of Tishomingo and
. -elating bl 10-year-old boy whom he
ft.d with hi n he etood him up on a
table and asked the crowd if this wag
notias white a boy as they ever look-
ed ion in their lives. The crowd
cheered for fully five minutes.
Mr Murray stated that he believes
all Indian properties should be taxed
and told Cnice to show his tax re-
ceipt and record He accutted Cruce
of being a co-partner with Hitchcock
In the "McMurray land deal." and
stated that Hitchcock said In Wash-
ington: "You can't convict these men go
let s quash this Indictment.
"Go down" said .Murray "to the
records Ins Ard more look them up
and see how this one dear Mr. cruce
represents these dear people. . They
will not be there tinder the name of
Cruce but under euou aliases as the
First National Bank and the Carlott
Really company."
Row Talks for Re-Submission.
Murray was followed by Leslie P.
Ro of Lawton. Mr. Ross took fre
quent Jabs at both Cruce and Murray
and turning to Brant Kirk he said
that he Intended to put Kirk on-the
stump for him this fall that ho wan
a man that could handle with diplo
macy both the liquor crowd and the
preachers. Speaking seriously he re-
viewed the history of the Democratic
party and appealed to the people on
the growing power ot tne caier ex-
ecutive and follov d closely for a
brief time the speeches he had been
making throughout the state.
Ross brought a great deal of laugh-
ter when be turned to Murray aod
said that Murray had double crowed
him on the Oklahoman question; fUit
te ts3 comptct wun Murrajr to
keep both their name out ot It and
exhibited an Oklahoinan with a front
page wrlteup of an account that Mur-
ray had of a scrap In the lobby of the
Lee-Hueklns hotel and stated that he
didn't believe Murray was giving him
a aquaro deal.
; He took Issue with Cruce on the
prohibition question and stated that
the people of this state had never had
a free and unhampered vote on this
question that the government Imposed
upon them when they asked them to
make a compact that they would ac-
cept prohibition for 21' years awl "1
believe" he said "like Bryan that
prohibition is a farce.
. "Any wuy" he said "let's submit
it again to the people and eettle It
once for all."
Many of Mr. Ross' friends from
Lawton were present and gave him
quite a demonstration .t the close
of his speech.
Cruce Lauds Haskell.
Le Cruce was then Introduced and
with his first utterances he charged
Ross with being a Republican Mur-
ray a socialist and forgot to mention
Kirk. Reviewing his rwx'd with the
Democratic patty and ira.b!r.: Has-
kell he said In part:
"I believe It will go down In his-
tory that Governor C. N. Haskell wan
thu greatest Democrat who ever lived
lii the mate of Oklahoma." Here
Cruce produced hi tax receipts ami
said that ho anticipated tnnt Mur-
ray would charge him with that.
Some one In the crowd asking him If
they were for one or two years and
he stated they were " for one. die
claimed that the taxes in Oklahoma
tre the lowest of any state in the
United States. Some one In the
crowd nskod Cruce If he was not a
squaw. man.. He said:
"I am an 'Intermarried cl Izen."
-f'JHtt" said the disturber "arc you
ao(; m squawman.' '
'. "Well 1 married an Indian. If that's
a squaw man" he replied.
Severar" farrow Immediately left
the room. Mr. Cruce paid a tribute
to his deceased wife which was heart
ily applauded. . He said It was no
no trouble whatever to find Murray's
record; that Murray had a record
aure enough. He claimed that ho had
accepted no mortgages of any na-
ture and defied Murray to find any
such mortgages. He said that Mur-
ray wa against the Initiative and
referendum clause and had unod his
influence In the constitutional con-
vention to defeat It. Referring to his
tax records he answered the charges
and Bald:
"Let any committee go to Ardmore
and if I have not paid my taxes I
will withdraw from the race for gov-
ernor if Mr. Murray will agree to
the same proposition.

Special to Dally leader.
Knld Oklu. 'July 6. Contending
that there is ho term of court In Gar-
field county nt the present time and
that the order made by Judge Clarber
setting down the hearing of the
Waters-riere case for Julv 5 had the
eflet of adjourning the district court
in Car field county sine die attorneys
n.r the Waters-Pierce Oil company
presented to Presiding Jndgo Huston
of Guthrie a motion to thut effect nt.
the hearing last night.
Counsel for the defendant company
urged that tbn net of 1910 fixing tbe
terms of the district courts In the
stnte .fixed April 11 1910 hi the be-
ginning of the Garfield county court
end May 14 as tho end.
The contention of the defendants Is
that there Is no lawful terra of court
now in session and that the order of
Judge Garber setting the case for
trial July 5 was without law. They
allege that neither the district court
of Garfield county nor the presiding
Judge had any authority to extend the
term of court but that without law
the presiding Judge made an order ex-
tending the April term of court to
Juno 1 1910. "
It was also argued that the term
SB fixed by the supreme court April
U to May 14 had the same force and
ePect as law therefore tho order of
the presiding Judge extending the reg-
ular term of tho district court of Gar-
field county was In excess of his au-
thority nnd void. .
The second contention raised by
tlefr-ndant'g counsel was that th nt
dor made the 28th of June adjourn-
ing court till July 5 was In fact an
adjournment sine die. That from th"
fact that the law provides for the end-
ing of a term In one county and the
beginning In anwther means that the
court Is adjourned in the first county.
Upon these points and the others
lalsed. Attorney Parker cited several
a it ii mi eh .ludee Huston did not rule
ftually upon tho allegations of the de-
fendants he Informed the company's
counsel that ho could not agree In
their construction of the Oklahoma
constitution which specifically pro-
vided for regular and adjourned ses-
sions of court and did .lot prevent two
Judges from sitting In the same dis-
trict. Judge Huston tesi rved a final
ruilng until later. ..
