Senator Matlock said that this identi-

measure had gone into Office on 1t by
overwhelming majorities. When he
took his seat In the senate two years
ago he considered that the matter WAS
settled and all that was left TO make it
the law Of the land was TO call 1t up and
pass it. To his great surprise opposition
developed, which was strong enough to
pigeonhole the bill and let it die an
ignominious death When the senate
assembled this time the people had de-
mRnded this measure at the polls, and
their representatives in convention as

Plan to Defeat Antitrust Bill.

From the Fort Smith Times
The agents of the various com.
panies doing business in this city
are canceling all insurance poll
cies and renewing them for from
one to two years for the purpose
of preventing any hardship result
ing from the withdrawal of the in
surance companies from the state
should the bill become a law. A
number Of the agents have been
notified by prOperty-Owners to
cancel and renew their policies
the moment the bill passes, and as
sixty days will elapse before the
bill can become law after its
passage, the indications are that
every property-holder will have 9
policy which will be in force until
the meeting of the legislature two
years hence, when the evil results
of the antitrust measure will, it is
thought, have become so apparent
that the general assembly will
willingly repeal it.

THE Republican support Of the omni-
bus statehood bill has sometimes been
ridiculed as of little importance. A re-
cent publication said that Quay had be-
hind him the solid Democratic strength
Of the senate, and that his Republican
following. besides Foraker. came from
the Rocky mountain states. The writer
Ia evidently lame in his geography.
Elkins Of West Virginia, Gallinger OF
New Hampshire and Penrose of Penn
sylvania are pretty far from the Rocky
mountain states. Perkins Of California,
Mitchell Of Oregon and Foster Of Wash
ington are right on the Pacific coast
and beyond the Rocky mountains.
Hansbrough and McCumber OF North
Dakota, Burton Of Kansas and Mason
OF Illinois are long ways from the
Great Divide. Really and truly, the
only Republican senators OF the Rockies
that are supporting Quay are Jones and
Stewart Of Nevada On the whole, the
Republican following Of Quay is quite
imposing in strength and OF no mean
ability and standing in the senate.

drawn money that he had no au-
thority to draw aud which he only
repaid after Col. Murphy had
charged him with mssppropriating
state funds. In justification of
this he claimed that he thought 1t
had been paid back.
The investigation of the charge

Bunch Coal company in consider.
alton of securing for that compa-
ny the contract of furnishing coal
for the state charitable institutions
brought out more things not
creditable to the governor. 1t
was not proven as regards there
being an agreement, but the evil
dence developed that he had
never paid for the coal furnished
him during the winter of 1901 to
1902, and that the account had
been dropped at the suggestion
of John II. Page, the purchasing
agent for the state charitable in
situations and the governors right

their own conclusions.
