Oklahoma City, o. T. Feb. 20.-Those
who are in touch with Oklahoma politics
are aware that the delegates from this

veRtion at Chicago will cast their votes
for William Randolph Hearst who, it is

heads who have their ears to the ground

Democratic nomination for the presidency
Hearst is growing in popular estimation
daily and the fact that he win have the
undivided following of the Bryan adher-
ents makes him most formidable can
ddate, says the Oklahoman.
Chas Schwartz of New York, a former
alderman and member of Tammany. tells
of Bryan's attitude. He says II rode
with Mr.. Bryan from Indiana polls to St
Louis last week. when he was returning
home TO be at the bedside of his dying
sister. and during the trip we fell to dis
cussing politics, and then it was that
he expressed himself as being in favor of
Hearst, and he told me he would work
60 bring about his nomination.

that he thinks he will be able to stampede
the st. Louis convention, and make it

Kitterman, who died at the FL Reno hos
pital Tuesday evening at 9:15 and now ly-
ing in the morgue at the Perry undertake

her just previous to her death.
She is but % years old, and had been
deserted by her husband at Chickasha a
few months ago. After he had left she
was taken sick and being too proud to
inform her relatives. she was exposed.
and was in a very low condition, when
the Christian Science ladies OF Chickasha

in Chickasha and as she needed very
careful treatment they raised enough
money to send her to the FL Reno hos
pital to be treated She came a week
ago last Saturday with a severe attack
OF pneumonia. Just few minutes before
her death she received a letter from her
sister in South Dakota, and when it was
handed to her she said wait a few min
utes. I feel too weak to read it now"
and shortly afterward she had a spasm.
which resulted in her death. A telegram
was sent to her brother-ir-law, Clinton
WaddeI. of Henry, South Dakota, but
as yet they have received no reply.
