Frantz Nomination Assured -Numerous
Applications for other Jobs
- Scraps over Chairmanship
Tulsa I. T. Jul y3 Tulsa is rapid-
ly filling. Hotels are already crowd-
ed. The city is gailey decorated. Taft
buttons are to be seen everywhere.
Tulsa is. animated.
The republican state convention will
be held Thursday.
The convention briefly will do
this:
Nominate Frantz for governor and
a full state ticket.
Adopt resolutions condemning cer-
tain sections of the constitution.
Endorse Taft for president.
Calling for high license and local
option; asking removal of restrictions;
denouncing Haskell.
The big fight will be for state chair-
man. J. R. Cottingham will likely
win although Charles Hunter has re-
signed a district clerkship to become
a compromise candidate for the place.
Sango the negro politician of Mus
kogee wired to the Robinson hotel
here to "reserve twenty of the best
rooms" for1 him.
There will be 3000 visitors in Tulsa
tomorrow.
The results of the county conven-
tions point to victory for Governor
Frank Frantz and the nomination of
a full state tickete at the republican
state convention in Tul.-a tomorrow.
Pr. Hugh Scott the campaign man-
ager for-CJw. Frantz says his nomi-
nation is certain at Tula and in all
probability it will be made by accla
mation. Over 800 of thee 1300 dele-
gates are instructed for him.
The main fight at Tulsa however
will be eon the election of a state
'liirman for four years. With no
doubt remaining but that the chair-
man will be a man friendly to Frantz
yet there are numerous candidates in
the race. Among them are Hamon of
Lawton the present chairman and the
leader of the forces opposed to the
nomination of a state ticket; J. A. Har
ris of Wagoner I. T. one of the
"twelve apostles" in the constitution-
al convention; C. G. Jones of Oklaho-
ma City who was chairman of the
Joint Statehood committee for sev-
eral vears; "Jim" Cottingham of
Guthrie a pioneer in the party or-
ganization. It is generally believed
that if the Frantz republicans win
which now seems certain that Cot-
tingham will be elected chairman.
In addition to Frank Frantz for
governor there are numerous candi-
dates in the field for the other state
offices. For lieutenant governor the
aspirants are Judge Silas Reid of El
Reno Dr. DeZell Hawley of Tulsa J.
Wade Bone of Chelsea nad Gen. Ira
L. Reeves of Muskogee. For secre-
tary of state Judge Tom Robnett of
Ardmore and Charles M. Keiger of
Norman are candidates.
Sam Murphy of Oklahoma City
who was the first territorial treas
urer of Oklahoma is a candidate for
the treasurer nomination at Tulsa
he has opponents in Mortimer F. Stil-
well of Bartleville 'T. A. Vaughan
of Pauls Valley and "Jack" Pryor of
Gage. Attorney General W. O. Crom-
well of Enid is talked of for the no-
mination for attorney general of the
state as are also H. H. Howard of
Oklahoma City and Charles M. My-
ers of Lawton while J. E. Dyche of
Lawton the present territorial audit-
or is being urged to accept the nom-
ination. J. S. Fischer of Beaver City
is also a candidate for auditor.
I-or the Ule railroad comir.is.
Hudson of Henryetta. A. C. Seeley
of Wa tonga is a candidate for state
accountant. Calvin Ballard of South
McAlester for state superintendent of
schools G. A. Paul of Oklahoma City
for supreme court clerk W. E. Dixon
of Dewey for insurance commissioner
and A. D. Murlin of Oklahoma City
for state labor commissioner.

The murder of the unknown man
in the Frisco car Saturday evening
remains a profound mystery although
the most diligent efforts are being
made by the officers to unravel it.
While those in charge of the inves-
tigation maintain strict reticence it
is evident from their manner that a
theorv of the case has been formed
and they are endeavoring to get the
facts to work it out. That this is
true is indicated by a remark of an of-
ficer who said "This man was not kill-
ed for hs3 money and he was not kill-
ed in a fight or a fit of anger." It

The remains of the man still lie at
Claycomb & Anderson's undertaking
rooms all efforts at identification hav-
ing proved unsuccessful but some
clues that have been discovered may
yield important results.
Several men came down from Tuttle
on the noon train today to view the
remains. While unable to identify
them they thought it was the man
named Crawford who has been miss-
ing from Tuttle for about a week and
who was last seen going toward Ok-
lahoma City. Facial features and
certain other marks correspond with
the description of 'Crawford;. The
latter lived in Tuttle but a few months
and was not very well known. He
GUARD THE CITY HEALTH
There are twenty cases of
typhoid fever in Hobart. Bad
sanitary conditions is the
cause according to the Re-
publican which urges im-
mediate action to prevent fur-
ther spread of the dread di-
sease. Clean up. No sea-
son of the year demands
cleanliness so imperatively as
this. Times-Journal.
A prominnent citizen of
Chickasha said today "There
ought to be more cleaning up
in the alleys and back yards
about town. Some places
where the weeds are tall are
disease breeders. We cannot
use too much care at this sea-
son of the year in ridding the
town of all conditions that
conduce to disease. In some
sections of the town one can
can smell vile odors and if im-
mediate attention is not giv-
en to such places sickness is
going to result. We need more
weed cutting and clean-up ag-
itation. Every citizen should
take a personal interest in
the matter and should co-operate
with the health authorities."

intimated that some sensational de-

certain investigations now in progress
