Chnrle Hunter saw tho news placard-
ed' In the office of P. I WonUor pri-
vate secretary to tho governor and
ran immediately to his friends in the
street shouting: "She's slgnod boys!"
The Enid mon set up a lusty yell and
staiijpodod for tho governor's offlco
only to be confronted with tho awful
fact that Hunter had decolvod thom.
Ribbons on which was printed "vo-J
loed." together with crape wore tied
on their canes by tho Enliiiles and at

day of tho legislature that If tho log-
jislaturo cut down his oxpenso fund
and took from him tho appointment
of tho territorial librarian he would
voto tho public building bill and ovory
other bill on his desk. In this ho
said by Implication that he would
sign tho public building bill if certain
things wore not dono. Under tho
guise of poraonnl friendship he de
colvod ovory legislator on tho wost
side."
One of Jho most Influential men con
nected with tho bill said:
"The story kopt coming from Barnes
that he wou- sign tho. 1.111 It tho
Guthrlo building wore stricken out.
I sent many legislators and many
other persons to him In order that
they might hear this statement after
which the Guthrie provision was cut
out. I havo said enough."
Senator Mossall of Enid author of
the bill Is paymaster general of the
Oklahoma militia with rank of major
under appointment of Governor
Barnos. - He said:' "Only yostordny
t'ao governor told our dologatlon that
ho had knocked obstacles out of the
way of tho hill. Ho told mo months
ago in the presence of Job Dobson
that It wo should pass tho bill ho
would sign it At Enid Barnos Bald
that If tho town wanted a public
Institution it should elect me to tho
sonato. Ho wns glvon ovorythlng ho
asked fQr In tho legislature. Why
did ho not tell us in the beginning
what ho intended tlolng? It would
have savod trouble for he will have
to answer for what he has done."
Mesanll intimated that he wilt re-
sign his office. All the "mound
builders" declare their purpoau to
fight Barnos to a finish and see that
he Is not reappointed.
