LIGHT ON LAND OFFICE
Charges That Clique Con-
trols Promotions Will be
Investigated.
( By -Assoclatod Press.)
Washington D C March 30. Scrd-
tary Hitchcock is planning & cargful
and oxtonslve Investigation of tho gen-
eral land offlco. It will bo begun as
soon as tho work of collecting tho evi-
dence In the Oregon land fraud cases
Is completed and othor. urgent mat-
tors are out of tho Way. Tho Investi-
gation will cover a wldo scope includ-
ing not only tho methods of adminis-
tering the land office-but tho person-
nel of the office as well. The manner
of making promotions will bo probed.
It Is alleged- that there Is a certain
clique or combination of a bipartisan
character which has arrogated to Itself
the right to nrrange promotions and
that this arrangement originated whllo
Blngor Hermann was land commission-
er. No one. It Is Bald who does "ot
wear tho etamp of npprovnl of this
combine has been ablo to progress.
Another charge Is that Chief Clerk
J. T. Macoy a Naw Yorkor has been
using tho clorlcal forco In preparing
political speeches for congressmen.
Macey admits that considerable "politi-
cal correspondence" has been handled
by him but denies that ho ever pre-
pared political speeches using the of-
flco forco.
One of the most serious accuratlons
is one that tho clerks In tho office
were practically held up and required
' contribute to a $500 fund to buy a
wedding prosont for formor Chief
Clerk Metzgor a Missouri mau. Macey
and A. C. ShavP now chief of the pub-
lic lands division It is said solicited
tho money In such a way" that the
clerks knew It was to their best In-
terest to subscribe. It was In prepar-
ing evidence for the trial of tho land
fraud cases that Mr. Hitchcock cama
upon additional matters which seomed
to htm to call for a searching Investi-
gation of the land office.

MUNICIPAL
CAMPAIGN
THE CITIZENS TICKET
SHOWS UP
STRONG
OLD GANG IS ALARMED
Having Sorry Time Holding
Ward Meetings
Tho Republicans an oxperlenolng
moro than ordlnaiy difficulty in work-
ing up Interest in their so-called ward
meetings. Every day and night this
week the old gang drum corps has been
at work making the welkin ring but
with little effect.
Tho Fourth ward. meeUng Tuesday
night was a miserable frost. Tho
mooting broke up when a long lank
lean taxpayer arose and flred this
question ct Judgo Houston:
"How much did you say this city
donated to Mayor Barnos to take a
pleasure trip to Washington $1600 or
12000 T"
In the First ward last night the Re-
publicans mado a feint at rhelllhg the
woods while U. C. Guss held forth In
tho Fifth ward. A .U. Kesler was tho
top-llnor In tho First. Said ho: "I
want tills job of pollco Judgo. I want
It bad. '(A tfoloe why why?) I want
It becatuo tcs" ore a whole lot of fol-
lows In this to i who have given mo
tho worst of It. A wholo lot or follows
who bought mill-ends and bran and
hay and corn nnd fodder from me and
failed to pay mo. I wont to got these
fellows beforo me as police judgo and
soak it to 'em." Then Nelson ring
candidate for clerk aroso and said:
'T am not used to Bpeech-maklng but
I want this office. I have no visible
moans of support and I want to get
married. Elect mo so that I can con
summoto my nll-abiorblng wish. I
grant thnt I know little about records
but I have served enough subpoenas
to got onto tho gang ropes." A horde
of negroes spoke after Nolson. Mr.
Farquharson is very rauoh worried
over the action of his heelers In pay-
ing out big sums of money unnecessar-
ily. In his spooch Tuesday night Mr.
Farquharson said; "I stand on my
record. It's olean. Now I will ask you
some questions. If I can cell a couon
shirt for 0B cents ad alc;t3m dow
much Is tho warrant Indebtedness of
Guthrie? If I discount my bills at 2
per cent thereby showing that I ought
to stick to my business nnd not dab-
bio in polltlcfl how far will the hold-
over councilman go in putting me In
tho hole?"
Tho "old gang" Is on ihe run.
The people are with The Loader.
Redisricting worries tho gang.
Will Mr. Kesler short-wolgh justice?
The Citizens' will hold a big rally
at the Brooks opera house Monday
night.
Sometime sit down and figure out
what becomes of the money. Thirty-
four mills
Make no common error. Remember
that the "old gang" is handling Far-
quharson. Nelson will ttru.aw as soon as
those sftldavits arrive in the city and
the truth Is known.
Ye Doc. Duke is pretty. But pret-
ty Is as pretty does and Duke will
certainly do the right thing.
Several nwm are getting rich by
aharlns city warrants. They da not
wish existing conditions disturbed.
You don't hear much about town-
wreekers kaoekars at esters ibis
oawpalgn? Why? The guns is fear-
fully soared.
Remember that the mtm important
consideration of aU is the election of
the CtUsens' candidates for city
CQMPeii.
The rooming pajter casts slurs upon
Duke la order to bolster up "eld
gang" methods. Pet Is Duke serv-
ed his time on the school board ami
proved a valuable member. He oould
not be bull-dosed and reftwed to da
the bidding of SpurJoek and niber.
The QKNe.' uesdldatee are al!
.fiuetHn. la the First ward Brooks
is a wtHRW. white Sehntidt stands for
a good majority In the Second. Ih
the Third HI son has no opposition
while Calvert is a sure victor m the
Fourth and Knight in the Fifth. These
men are the right sort. They are
business mats and can be relied upon.
The Loader did mention Farqnhar-
son on March S at "good mayorul tim-
ber." But that was as a Citlseas' ami
not a gang candidate As soon as the
CtUsens' nominated Duket "the old
gang" sought to deceive by following
the Leader's suggestion and nominat-
ing Farquhanwn. A wn as Farqu-
harson accepted the gang nomination
ftrr mayor he was no longer a cittsen
but In tho power of "the old gang."
