Woods Town.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Nov. aS-Gener-
al Wilson. governor of the department of
Matanzas-Santa Clara. who is making a
tour along the eastern coast. arrived last
evening on the transport Terry. He spent
the day in driving about the city and
visiting FL Caney- He is extremely sorry
to have missed General Wood, but says
he enjoyed the trip along the north coast,
notwithstanding the fact that the Terry
twice went aground.
Santiago, General Wilson says, IS not
to be compared with the western provinces
in wealth. natural beauty or the fntelli-
gence of its people. He eharacterizes the
sympathy as "a foreign country, not in
sympathy with the superior Americanism
dominant in Havana
He admits. however, that he has seen
nothing of the province except this city
and the coast, which is everywhere sterile.
General Wilson will go inland by rail on
Tuesday.

NO JUNKET FOR CLARKE.
Coming Forward With Money
for Lobby ExueuSeS


GUTHRIE, o. T.. Nov. 2s-iSpeciaL) As
was predicted. the Republicans of Okla
homa are not coming forward with any
great alacrity to supply Sidney Clarke with
funds with which to go to Washington and
lobby for the statehood bill. The response
which Clarke's own party brethren are
making to the statehood executive commit
tees appeal for funds. also is noticeable
for its lack of enthusiasm The Demo-
publicans in declaring the Oklahoma City
meeting and its results to be a barefaced
Sidney Clarke scheme and predicting fall
ure of Clarke'S efforts.

Guthrie Leader: The Hon. Sidney Clarke

Clarke's thoughts run largely TO himself.
The very fact that congress has been bonn
barded from time inmemorial for nine
years as Judge Perkins would say. by
a lot of bargain counter politicians, whose
chief assets consiS. of monologue disser-
tations devoid of sense and statistics. is
the main reason no progress has been
made toward statehood. Congressman
have grown weary of oratorical lombard
ments: what they want is the truth about

mon sense who has no political axes to
grind
Tom Hensley. the mayor of Ell Rene. and
editor of the Ell Reno Democrat, who is
contesting with Clarke for the Democratic
congressional nomination, deals his oppon-
ent fierce thrust. Hensley has progressed
Just about as far in the race as has Clarke,
although he will not have the advantage
which a iunketing trip to the national
capital in the guise of a lobbyist might
give him. Hensley quotes as follows from
Major Simpsons FL Reno Supper Bell, a
Republican paper: To have a man or
any set of men spending the winter in
Washington at the expense of others would
be pleasant diversion for them and would
ena BILE them to pose fathers of the state
hood movement and gather the credit.

likewise blame others should ii fail.'' ana
then adds: "a copy of Governor Barnes

sentatives desk is worth more than all

IS WORKING OVERTIME.

Mr.. Patterson is taking chances
with the eight-hour law. Just as
he was getting ready to commence
work on the foundation for his in
dependent smelter system, through
the columns of his newspaper, he
was compelled to knock off and
decide the constitutionality of the
eight-hour law, taking that burden
from the shoulders of the supreme
court. He is working overtime
under the double task.
A careful reading of the opinion
of Judge Patterson makes it very
clear, even to layman, that the
entire proceedings in the test case
on the eight-hour law have been
wrong up to date. Chief Justice
Patterson is positive on that point,
After reviewing the case at great
length he points out the fatal er-
ror when he shows that the law de-
partment of the Rocky Mountain
News has not been employed by
either side TO the controversy. 1t

parties to the case could have over
