OKLAHOMA SOCIALISTS MEET
Representatives From Seven Count
les Launch a New Party

Guthrie, o. T.. Oct 16.-Represeutative
socialists from seven counties of Okla
homa met in the Darlors of the Grand
Avenue at Oklahoma iCty Saturday and
now there is il Oklahoma an avowed
Socialist party. Their platform is dec
laration that the people collectively
should own the means of production and
produce goods for use instead of for
profit, as now. and that all laws should
be subject to the approval of a majority
of those of legal age who have to live
under them, the will of the people as ex-
pressed by the ballot to be the supreme
law Territorial matters are handled in
a pretty thorough manner, from a So
ciaiiSt standpoint, and announcement is
made that they are in politics to make
Oklahoma the most advanced Socialist
state of the union by eXerting their influ-
ence as far as possible in the formation
of the organic law of the coming state.
Double statehood is made a part of their
demands, and a currency plank for direct
issue, abolition Of national banks, and
legal tender power for every dollar is
clearly stated Among those present

HOGS FIVE LOVER
lust Fair Supply Monday
and Trading Dull.
TOPS SETTLE OF S4.O5
Cattle Steady With Practically
No Trade.
TOPS SETTLE OF S4O5

The local hog market yesterday was
quoted as cents lower in sympathy with
all the rest Of the western livestock cen
ters. There was a general falling off in
the tone of the markets everywhere, and
This point caught some of this influence
from the other markets and vents down
also. All Of them reported lower prices
and the Wichita market simply acted by
the reflection. Six cars of hogs went over
the scales, and their average weight was
S9 pounds, a very fair showing The de-
mana LOT lat butcher hogs was good and
the local packing interest readily absorb
cd all the offerings which came in. 1t
was a very fair day for Monday, and all
the shippers who had stock In were well
satisfied with their deals. It was not a
neavy day, but all that was offered was
Solu at once, and at prices well in line
with the other western points. The wagon
and local trade was light, but there were
some very fair hogs received in this d.
vision, and the best Of them sold at once
and at the best prices in line with the
others. One small bunch from this d.
vision, made up OF fat, heavyweight
porkers, sold without dock at the top Of
The day. Two Of the car loads sold at
the car top Of A.0S, and the rest of them
at very fair figures. While not a heavy
day, the sales which were registered were
made at very fair prices as compared with
the best figures given out by the other
western markets.
