Guthrie, Ok., Oct. 28.—Another
full-blood Kickapoo who lost his al
lotment in Oklahoma, went to the
stand to tell about it in the extradi-
tion hearing before Commissioner
Tibbetts. The witness was Mah-Ka-
Se-Ah, now twenty-five years old. He
testified that while he was in Muz-
quii, late In 1906, Grimes and Conine
offered him $800 for his allotment,
but that he refused to sell and left
the house of Gefe Polltco Guajardo,
where the Americans had herded the
Indians. On Christmas day, 1906,
Mah-Ka-Se-Ah testified, he reached
Shawnee again.
Prosecutor Kearful showed him a
check with his signature, purporting
to be payment to Guajardo and dated
January 1, 1907, on the bank at Ea-
gle Pass, Texas. The check was Tor
$550 and Is one of these which the
government alleges are foregrles.
The witness denied ever having
seen the check or ever having any
money in the bank.
Cross-examined, the witness admit-
ted that he was trying to recover his
allotment by a civil suit at Shawnee.
He said the only defendants that he

Guthrie, Ok., Oct. 28.—The tax-
payers of the state are now anxiously
awaiting action by the state board of
public affairs and by Attorney Gen-
eral West, who draws $29,200 annu-
ally, on the charges filed with the
board by W. L. Bishop, one of the
foremen on the construction of the
penitentiary building at McAlester,
that graft has been rampant in the
construction.
It is very necessary that the board
take immediate cognizance of the
matter. If, as the sworn statement
I says, the state has been euchred out
of more than $100,000 in grafts on
these buildings, something had to be
done at once.

FAULT LIES WITH THE
DEMOCRATS ALONE
Afton, Ok., Oct. 28—J. M. Dod-
son, republican candidate for attor-
ney general, spoke here last night to
a large audience composed largely of
democrats, on slate Issues. He made
a deep Impression. He showed where
the fault lies for the loss of the two-
cent passenger rate. He arraigned
the demagogues who were trying to
shift the blame on Judge Hook and
Joe McNeal. He showed from the
records of the circuit court of the
United States for the western district
of Oklahoma that Charles West, at-
torney general, by mismanagement,
lost the case. He cited Kansas and
other states less densely populated
with less commodities, enjoyed the
two-cent fare, and why not Oklaho-
ma, too?
He uuld every man, woman and
child In Oklahoma, when they bought
a railroad ticket, got a memento,
which spoke more eloquently against
the present administration's manage-
ment of the state affairs, than could
any one.
He showed how grossly the pre-
sent administration had overriden the
$400,000 constitutional debt limita-
tion.
He declared that several million
dollars of state warrants were be-
ing hawked around over the state
and could not be sold at 90 cents on
the dollar; that be knew of munici-
pal bonds, which were as good as

JAKE HAMON HAS A GOOD PLAN
Guthrie, Ok., Oct. 28.—Jake Ha-
mon, republican member of the state
election board, Is very anxious that
the county election boards through-
out the state meet Immediately to
Inspect ballots, and see If the condi-
tion of the ballots 1b good and If
they tally lr> number with what each
county ought to receive from each
election precinct.
"It's a cinch," said Hamon today,
"that the correct number of ballots
left GuYthrle for each county. Now
It's the duty "of the republican mem-
ber of each county election board to
demand an Immediate meeting of the
board to entertain at once, If the
count Is correct and the condition of
the ballots good.
"The state election board has a
list of the number of ballots sent to
each county, and I also have a list.
and If ln any Instance the republican
member of a county election board
finds anything wrong, he should re-
port It to me at Outhrle immediate-
ly. It Is very necessary that every,
thing is In good order for the Nov.
8 election.
"I am still of the opinion that aon-
partlsan vigilance committees should
be organized In each precinct ln the
state to make sure that there will be
a fair election and au honest count "
THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF THE MAR
