RBPUBUCAN OPPORTUNITY.
R. A. Cameron, county Judge of
iWooU-s County, and one of the best-
known Republicans on the went Bide,
Bays ho hopos the Republican party
frill not throw away Its opportunity
to carry the State In the next elec-
tion by nominating some one of tlie
old timers who have come Into did
Caver for governor, whon a clean, now
and aggressive candidate can be elect-
ed with ease. Ho says that Woods
County, which elected the entire
Democratic ticket, with one excep-
tion, a year ago, will give a larger
majority to the Republican ticket ne\t
year It the party puts up representa-
tive men. Judge Cameron is sixty-
Hoven years of age and a splendid
Judge of conditions politically, having
been through many a battle.
John Bmbry, who recently re-
eigned Ms position as United States

Oklahoma possesses a Federal office-

According to political "dope" re-
c.Hvt-d from an apparently authentic
•uwrce. Judge Prank 8. Gillette is
seriously considering becoming a can-
didate for governor and will likely
make an announcement of his candi-
dacy in a few days. Cash Cade, the
national committeeman, has always
tx n a strong Wend of Gillette and I*
to reported is urging him to get Into
*ke race now. Omer Benedict nnl
prominent Republicans in that section
allied -with Mm are boosting Cade for
the nomination, with the understand-
ing that Cade will not run, but they
•re to be for whichever candidate he
decides to support. These same men
•re bitterly opposod to C. G. Jones,
■who has always stated his intention
of seeking the nomination. Prom this
point of view it looks like Gillette will
have a fair chance for the nomination

NKK1)S A MUZZI.BR.
The authorities of the University
of Chicago have hired a press agent
to act as a kind of cross between a
p«ws censor and a buffer. The prime
purpose 01 the employment of the
preee «Mroot is to raise the university
<n geooral public esteem by prevent-
ing the publication of the absurd
views, theories and guesses of its pro-
fessors. The college officials hope to
bring about this result by furnishing
the dally prees with nicely typewrit-
ten, manifolded and "authentic" news
of the happenings and utterances at
the institution.
To the person familiar with the
manner in which the sensational
Kuobthlngs of college professors get
Into the columns of the public prints
it is evident that what the Chicago
tmiverslty needs 1s a muztler rather
than a buffer. It is conventional to
blame the press whenever a more
than usually wild theory is expound-
ed. the viewpoint of the university
being that the press Is inveigling the
PvOMpbh professors by devious meth-
ods into making "foot broaks," not
<></en stopping at actual distortion of
utterances otherwise safe and Bane.
tfoinethLng very like the reverse is
the fM* The university professor
who Makes reckless or sensational
stalemate when there Is no reporter
•within hearing Is a rarity. Publicity
*  as myrrh to the nostrils of the
babbling professor. Without It he
Would lapse and languish, for he nev-
er Bpeaks merely to his classes, but
t£) the readers of the dally press,
which Is Id duty bound to chronicle
the foolish as well as the wise doings
from day to day The very salt and
•avor of • news Item is Its truthful-
ness as an occurrence, and the fart
that It to a poor day when the Uni-
versity of Chicago does not furnish a
Hood story in the way of freak declar

ELECT
II JAIL 10
Sapulpa, Okla., Sept. 13.—Assuredly
for the first time in the history of
Creek County, and doubtless for the
first time In the history of Oklahoma,
that any person was elected to office
languishing In Jail the while, occurrel
when former Deputy Town Marshal
R. P. Highnote of Kelfer, held since
August 7 In the county Jail together
with W. B. Grantham for the killing
of Homer Olloy, alleged gambler, on
that date, was elected by tho Kelfer
city council to the office of town mar-
shal, succeeding J. W. Swlneford, who
was murdered In the attempted Keifer
State Bank robbery on August 17.
At a session of the District Court
Judge Barnum released the prisoners
on bonds of $5,000 each, their trials
having been Bet for the January term
of court.
Immediately upon the release of the
men, Highnote proceeded to his Kel-
fer home and assumed the official
garb, rigged himself out with star
and club and became the full-fledged
town marshal of the thriving oil berg,

CALIFORNIA OIL LANDS
ARE NOW INVOLVED.
I>os Angeles, Cal., Sept. 13.—Suits
were filed today in the Federal Court
hero Involving the title to oil bearing
lands in Coalinga, Midway and other
oil fields of centrul California, said
to be valued at upwards of thirty-
live million dollars and now held by
the Southern Pacific Railway Com-
pany of California.
The suits were filed by T. S. Mlnot,
attorney of San Francisco. The total
area of the land Involved is about
half a million acres. It was granted
to the Southern Pacific Railroad Com-
pany more thau forty years ago. Pat-
ents were granted several years ago.
The validity of the government pat-
ents are now attacked, the conten
tlon being tnat where land Is granted
on express stipulation It must be
found to be more valuable for agri
cultural purposes than for mineral de-
posits.

SANTA FE PUNS
FAST MAIL TRAIN
WILL CHOP OFF TEN HOURS BE
TWEEN KANSAS CITY AND
LOS ANGELES.
The management of the Santa Fe
railway has about decided to put in-
to operation a new fast mall and ex
press train to run between Kansas
City and 1am Angeles, with a view of
capturing the bulk of the California
mall.
This adds another speed war to
that recently declared by the Hill
roads in the mail, express and pas-
senger trafllc to the Pacific.
The Intention of the road became
known In railroad circles Saturday
and caused considerable comment
and excitement, the statement being
made that the Santa Fe intended to
clip ten hours off the present time
of sixty hours and that the train
would be put Into operation In less
than a month.
The entire southern California mail
Is Involved In the move, and this U
said to bring about $1,250,000 annual
revenue to the railroads. The Santa
Fe and the Rock Island with the
Southern Paciflo now divide the busi
ness about equally and the Santa Fe
wants It all.
Formerly the Santa Fe carried the
bulk of the southern California mall,
but several years ago the Southern
Pacific put on a fast train that cap-
tured the mall out of St. Louis, and
the Rock Island put on the Golden
State Limited, which left Kansas City
Just after the arrival of the eastern
mails. Just at that time tho Santa
Fe was not in a position to change
Its schedule to wait for the mails
and permitted the Rock Island to
take some of the tonnage away from
It
It Is understood that the Rock Is-
land and Southern Pacific, whose
route In via El Paso, has served no-
tice on the Santa Fe that whatever
action the later takes will be offset
by them, and the Imminent speed
war Is awaited with Interest by rail-
roaders all over the country.

WANT DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
Wagoner. Okla., Sept. 13.—The
county commissioners of Wagoner
County are preparing to issue a call
for an election to organize a drain-
age district for the purpose of ulti-
mately reclaiming forty thousand
acree along the Verdigris River. Tho
district lines have already been made
and Indications are that the project
will be successfully promulgated. The
land lies in the Verdigris valley, and
in flood time the river covers vast
areas of this country, which when
drained and made free from danger
of overflow would be valuable for
farming purposes.
