uneasiness among supporters Of both can
didates Just why the returns should be
so delayed is hard to explain.
Chairman Anderson stated tonight that
he is still confident of Cross election,
although his majority in the territory
might possibly be cut down. He asserts
that Mcclure. from his estimate, will
have 10 receive heavy vote in Day
county and in remote precincts IN other
counties to overcome Cross majority.
Secretary Whiting Of the Republican
committee is very confident Of MCGUIRE s
election and has figures upon which to
base the statements that MCGUIRE is cleo
ted over Cross.
THE reports this afternoon and even
ing have been very encouraging said
Mr.. Whiting, and while the matter can
not be definitely settled until reports
from several counties are received con-

THIS The LAST DAY
Cherokees sEust Dispose OF Their
ssuraIuS Land

Tahlequah, ]. T., Nov. 6.-ThOse citi-
zens of the Cherokee nation who hold
more land than is legal under the allot-
ment treaty are scrambling to unload.
Tney have only one day more ia which
to dispose of their excess. on November
the ninety days limit win have ex-
pired ana every citizen win be supposed
TO be in possession Of his land grades
and know just how much land he is en-
tilted 10, and holding no more than is
due him as a Cherokee citizen. During
The past few weeks excessive holders
have been very active in disposing CT
their property and on November 7 very
few Of this class will be in possession Of
more than 100 acres Of the average al
lottable land. The law, as embodied in
sections IS and 10 of the treaty, is very
plain anu emphatic as to the punish
ment that viii be meted out TO those who
continue TO monopolize the puDnc domain.
and # comes from a reliable source that
immediate steps viii be taken to rigidly
enforce the law The leniency of the
officials in enforcing the Curtis act should

for it might be that a very unpleasant
surprise is in store for them. The pro-
visions of the treaty relating TO exces-
sive holdings are as follows:
Section is. 1t shall be unlawful ninety
days after the ratification of this act
by the Cherokees for any member of
the cherokee tribe to enclose or hold
possession o. it, in any manner by him
self or through another, directly or in
directly, more lands in value than that

minor children. If members Of said tribe.

such possession Of lands. or having the
same in any manner enclosed after the

lating any Of the provisions of section
IS of TINS act shall be punished by fine

mitted until such flne and costs are paid

tion. and each day on which such offense
is committed or continues TO exist shall

this morning there was practically no
change in the congressional contest in
Oklahoma. Both parties are still claim

it is predicted freely that an official
count VIII be required before some def
mite result can be obtained. Republicans
are more hopeful tonight than they have
been during the entire day. 4 late re-
port from Comanche county states that
Cross majority in that county is 49,
which is 20 less than expected by Dem

IA the way by which the race Is lifted up
out OF barbarism. Labor. steady labor,
IS the great civiliser.
yet we must admit that the church and
the school and the university in Chris
tian lands encounter a difficulty in this
regard at the very opening OF our Bible.
The Bible represents labor as curse and
Il had a profound eject on ali Christian
theology until 100 years ago. and We en-
counter the false reflection OF Il IN labor
unions today The labor unions adopt
the Genesis view OF labor as a curse. a

people. It has seemed 20 me from what

that they are too Intellectual and too emo
