Republican Politicians
Have Trouble With
Rules Also

M bFy4sft
The old time politicians are not
having an especially easy time Of II in
Vinita this year. Although the whip
of the Democratic bosses has been
cracked, and the independents in the
party have been driven out, by the rG-
fusal Of the executive committee even
to consider the adoption Of the Okla
homa primary election law, the battle
Tor purer politics continues.
For tn the independent Republi-
cans are taking the war path. Like
their independent brethren in the
Democratic party, they do not pro-
pose to submit to any yellow dog rule;
they do not propose to subordinate
their conscience to their party. At
its meeting Saturday night the fol-
lowing petition, which is being num-
erously signed, will be presented to
the Republican club, provided the
committee on resolutions and platform
shall not have incorporated it in their
report:
To the Committee on Platform and
Resolutions:
We, the undersigned would respect
fully represent that we have hereto
fore aniliated with the Republican
party; that we reside IN the Town Of
vinira, Indian Territory; that we be-
lleye ourselves legally entitled to vote
at the next municipal election, and
VIC, the undersigned, would respect
fully petition ytSr Committe that
you will include in your report to the
Republican Club at the meeting there
of, to be held on Saturday, March 10,
1906, a resolution which shall be in
form as follows:
Resolved, That no one shall be
bound by the action Of the Republi-
can primaries az the next municipal
election even though he shall have
voted at said primaries. -

In each of the four wards of the
city Democratic caucuses were held
last night for the selection Of candi-
dates for the primary In each Of the
caucuses an attempt was made to se-
cure the repeal of the much discussed
"yellow dog" primary rule recently
adopted by the city committee, and
in each ease the committee was sus-
tanned, the Democrats present voting
in favor of the yellow dog principle.
Those independent Democrats who
are opposed to being compelled to
swear to vote for all the nominees Of
the primary asked that instead Of this
to them obnoxious rule .the Oklaho-
ma law be substituted, by which a
man is asked to swear merely that he
will afflliate with the party, not that
he will support all the party's nomi-
nees, good and bad.

Senator Foraker made the first

Enthusiastic Gathering
Of Republicans at
Court House

The Republicans had a we'll attend
ed and enthusiastic meeting last night
at the court house. A feature was
the small number Of colored people
present, there being but two or three
Of them.
The Republican club elected Ed
Shananan. president for another term
by acclamation. G. J. Hunt was re-
elected secretary, H. f. Watson vice
president. DR.. O. @. Amundson as
sistant secretary and J. f. Murphy
treasurer. ...
The following were appointed a
committee on resolutions and plat
form, to report at a meeting which
viii be held Saturday night: W. b.
a Coley, Louis Muldrow, w. II. Oar
rough, 3. NJ. Probasco, II. f. Watson,
Haney Cox, w. H Deck.
Remarks were made by Morris Fra
zee, E. NJ. Smith, Rev. J. E. Pershing,
W. S. Stanfeld, w. II. Darrough,
Rev. G. W. Snodgrass, Rev. W. K.
Dunkle, Louis Muldrow and E. NJ.
Probasco. Messrs Stanfeld and Dar-
rough said that, if their most strenu-
Gus exertions could prevent it, there
would be no whlskey nor money used
at this coming election. Rev. Mr..
Dunkle, though a Democrat, made
one Of the best speeches Of the even
ing.
A campaign committe of five will
be appointed to make arrangements
for the primary, which will be held
Tuesday, March 13, from s to 2 pm.
The committee Will recommend judges
and clerks and will suggest the rules
under which the primary shall be
held. The Republicans will doubtless
be met by the same problem that has
confronted the Democrats, whether
TO endorse the Oklahoma primary law
OF not. As the Republicans are after
al the votes they car get, it is prob
able that their primary rules will be
made as liberal as possible.
The club will meet again Saturday
night in the court house for the pur-
pose Of hearing the reports OF the
resolutions and campaign committees
ana Of taking action thereon.

the journeymen. One of the latter.
