The truth is that they do not otTer
any definite legislation or imlicy by
which the lyppy conditions they prom

their promises mean anything, they
lead directly toward the appropriation
of what belongs to one man, to an

Fire Lads Do Good Work
in Confining the
Flames
Scott I'rince's pool hull, at. I'lfi
Chit kasha avenue, was completely de
stroyed by fire this mtirning at 4: Iff
o'clock. The origin of the fire '.3 un
known as the entire interior was a
mass of flam.-s ami the building, which
belongs to the Ixiwd estate, damaged
to the amount of $."eni.
It seems there was some delay in
the turning in of the al when
the department armed the heat bad
broken out the entire glass front, and
the windowR in the rear and flames
were roaring from both openings. The
awning in front of the 1'alace drug
store was on fire, and the heat bad
broken out one of the drug store's
windows.
Three lines of hose were inimertl
aiely brought into use and before long
the fire was under control. To save
the interior of the building or any
part was impossible and the work
of the fire fighters was distinctly to
keeji the fire confined to the burning
building, to which end their labors
were successful. Had there been a
high wind the result might have been
different. The wind, however, was
from the north and very light, bo by
strenuous work on the part of the
fire department, a fire that if once
under headway would have wrought
havoc with the business section, was
nipped In tbe bud ami held strictly to
its point of origin.

Riley Gives State Board's
View of Election
Laws
Oklahoma City, Aug. 1. Secretary
Kuey oi tne. state election board yes
terday addressed the following to tne
secretaries of .the county election
boards:
Dear Sir :
This board has construed tbe pri
mary election law as to tbe voter's
rights as follows:
In cities of the first class where
the voters register as a Democrat, lie
publican, Socialist or Prohibitionist
they must vote as they register, ami
in all other precincts the same law
applies. In a case in the criminal
court of appeals in which a decision
was handed down yesterday the elec
tion hoard's position was sustained,
I wish you yould instruct your various
inspectors in your county to see that
this is carried out; not permitting the
Socialists and llepnblicans to call for
a Denim ratic ticket in the various pre
cincts, but let them vote for the party
they have aligned themselves, with,
unless they desire to affiliate h the
future wilH' the Democratic party, a
registration certificate should be sat
isfactory evidence of party fealty. You
are more familiar with the local con
ditions in your own eourty and more
able to '..ijiile this position, but on
the abovo lines the criminal court of
appeals sustains this board.
A man who has registered as an
independent in cities of the first class
has no place to vote. It he desires to
jhange bis registration, 1 would no!
'--"it.-te to comply with ids request.
See that your election is carried ofr
In a just and fair way, and that every
candidate gets every vote be is en
titled to. This board will not counte
nance and has no desire, or wish, to
canvass the returns of any county
who' tin there is a question as to votes
being cast illegally. We must have
a legal election, and by following the
election law, treat ing every voter fair
ly, -there can be no question about the
election. Kmphatieally instruct your
precinct, inspector to see that the
election is conducted in this way. Fee
that your counters count every ballot
as it is put into the box, and see that
they call the ballots just as they come
out of Hie box. Especially instruct
them upon this. This is one election
in the state that should be conducted
in a rair ami mmes-L way..

Ben Has Grievance
Against Candidates
Pen lludgins has a large grievance
against the local candidates and voic
ed said grievance this morning tlmsly:
"The candidates are si. only ruining
.--j "re.1".' "y a"d are eo ---1 . '. . r
the people that men bent on business
errands cannot approach a man with
out first stalking him as a hunter
wouid a deer. As proof of this Ubst-r-
don I give the following incident: Mr.
Huzziard and myself were on a trip
through the country a few days ago
for tbo purpose of making milk con
tracts with the farmers to supply tbe
creamery that A'iil soon be in opera
tion here and as wo approached every
house we would see the men persons
of the place duck out the back door
and take to the tall grass or seek se
clusion in the corn field. Upon ask
ing for the man of the house we al
ways received the answer that be
was not at home. Upon explaining
that wo were emphatically not candi
dates but bent uinin a simple business
errand, one of the children would be
dispatched to search for tbe father in
the corn field, lie would appear only
upon the assurance that the visitors
were not. candidates."
3,000,000 bushels in the county and if
Uireo bushels bring a dollar, this will
mean a, million dbllar crop."
Mr. Johnson says tbe early corn Is
already hardening and 1b practically
made. While late corn lias been dam
aged, another shower will make lets
of it. come out. "The rain toiluy aisu
insures the fourth cutting of alfalfa,"
said Mr. Johnson, "ami a little more
moisture will inako it a big one."
Three crops of alfalfa have already
been harvested, the first and third
cuttings being heavy.
While the shower here this morning
was a light one, it tame very gently
and none of ft was lost. At Hush
Springs it was reported that the rain
was heavy and it Beems to have been
general , in the county. Cloudy and
cooler weather during the past three
days has been of, great benefit.
CONDITION
OF COTTON
IS GOOD
Monthly Crop Report is
Issued by the State
Board
Oklahoma City, Aug. 1 The condi
tion of cotton us shown in the crop
report of the state board of agricul
ture, is above the average for this sea
son of the year for Oklahoma. Corre
spondence with raisers over the state
indicates that the plants are fruiting
tavoraldy and although about two
weeks later than l;wt year, the Ion
seasons for Oklahoma will give it
favorable weather conditions for com.
pietiiiR a healthy growth.
This year's crop will show a falling
off of 25 per cent from last year in
acreage, in tiie opinion of Hen Hen
nessey, secretary of the state boar
of agriculture. "This is due to the
i act,- no says, "mat last rail was an
unusual season for the growth ami
maturing ot cotton, inasmuch as tne
blooms appearing as late as the lfdu
of September made ood cotton."
ine stand ot the plants on the
ground is not as uniform as the pre

i. half a stand. The web worm, which
r.iOnacoJ the crop in Soiifliciu counties
of the state is rapidly (lying out and
is no longer viewed with alarm by
the cotton growers of that section.
The normal condition of cotton at this
time is shown to be about 'J4.3 with
the indications that the cotton grower
has still r.ii days of gooq weather for
maturing his crop. The first bales
Mill be on the market in tite southern
counties about the loth of September,
and these promise to be of an unusual
variety.
The report for Grady county is as
follows:
Corn Crowing conditions, H3 per

by witnesses to the murder, Cirocsl

actual shooting was done by "Whitey,''

His testimony will aid Whitman in

others. It is reported that. Cirocisi
will be permitted to plead guilty to

Police Lieut. Charles Becker, head
of the "strong arm" squad of gam
bling raiders, who is charged with in
stigating the murder of Herman Ros
enthal was further -implicated in the
Plot to get rid of the gambler, when
"Paid Jack'' Rose and "Bridgie" Web

already amazing allegations. They,
told District Attorney Whitman than
Rosenthal was to have been killed at
the instigation of Pecker ten days be
fore be actually met bis fate, and
tiiat the plot failed because tiie under
world thugs selected to do the mur
der lost their nerve at the last minute.
The district attorney spent the
greater part of the 'afternoon with
Rose and Webber, in their cells at the
west side police station, and under
promise of leniency which the prijBe
cutor has given them they talked free
ly. They gave little p.dditioanl in

"The plot that failed," h,. 8aiJ, wa4
the culmination of a conference at the

Rosenthal and his wife were timing
there, "according u tbo account that
Rose gave me."

was down town, Rose said, waiting for
the murder plot to be consummated.
"Decker had talked with ma every
day. lie kept saying to mo, "Why
don't you kill this fellow off?' Rosen
thal would have been killed that night
if the bunch had not lost their nerve.
They got the notion after they reach
