CAMPAIGN On N kIEE
Announced as in Preparation
by His Opponents
70 SECURE HIS REMOVAL
Plan by Which the OppoSi-
ton Expect TO Succeed
70 SECURE HIS REMOVAL

Guthrie, o. T, April 29.-(Special)-
Judge McAtee is liable soon to find him
self the center Of a fight between immense
and powerful corporations. According to
the latest story which has leaked out here
3IcAtee's enemies, realizing his powerful
backing in Washington. have planned to
bring similar siege guns into play on
Washington.
Judge McAtee comes from Maryland.
Among his friends he numbers high Of
fetal of the Baltimore and Ohio road. II
is related that this high official went to
President Mckinley long ago and said
that he had only one request TO make,
and that a slight one-the retention Of his
old friend Judge NIcAtee as judge in Ok
lahoma. The story goes that the presi-
dent readily granted this request, and II
is further told that Attorney General
Griggs told Judge Burford in Washington
not long ago that it was impossible TO
expect Judge McAtee's removal.
Judge McAtee is a gold standard Dem
ocrat, and several Republicans want his
place.
They have planned a new campaign
against him. The latest fight, it is said
here, will be led by a prominent attorney
who has been fined several times for con-
tempt by Judge McAtee and who has TAX
en- offense at him. This plan contemplates
a systematic complaint at Washington
against McAtee. Seven or eight letters
are to be written to Washington from
Guthrie complaining against McAtee. The
anti-AIcAtee men expect these to go into
the waste basket. Then a like number
of letters are 10 be shot in from King
fisher. These will also be expected to go
into the waste basket. Then Garfield
county IS to send in a batch; then Grant
county, then Woods county and finally
Blaine BY this time it is expected that
the department will drop the waste bask-
ct habit and begin to wonder when the
thing is going to stop. Here is where the
siege guns will be rolled up and unlim-
bered. Judge McAtee, it is said, has
made several rulings against powerful
corporations doing business in Oklahoma.
These corporations will be asked to open
up their influences on Washington from
their respective states, and the fur will
fly, with the heavy corporations on one
side and the high official Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad on the other.
The feeling here among those not into
the scheme but aware of it, is that Nc
Aztec will win and retain his seat on the
wool-sack.

IS a problem confronting the Republican
party of this territory which should re-
ceive the attention Of the leaders, and the
colored Republican vote. We ask the
leaders Of our party to consider this mat
Ter well. Tt the beginning of every cam

5olored people. But when the time comes
for slicing the loaf they invariably get
nothing but crumbs. This is not right.
1t is not justice. 1t is not fairness. And.
again, it is not politics. There is a large
eolored vote in the Republican party Of
Oklahoma and it might he well for the
politicians to consider this matter well
and act wisely"

riers now and a fifth is greatly needed.
The business of the postoffice is steadily
growing and the receipts of the Office
justify an additional carrier. Postmaster
Mccoy says there are scores of working
people in Guthrie who, unable to reach
the postoffice during mail hours, fail TO
receive their mail until twelve hours after
it arrives. With a new carrier these peo-
pie can be served with their mail shortly
after it reaches the Office.
