INDICATIONS POINT TO DEMO
CRATIC DEFEAT IN CITY.
HEAVY VOTE IS POLLED
It Looks Like Mayor" Ayars-Al-
derman Peirsol, "the Watchdog
of Treasury" Defeated

Indications at four o'clock in all
four wards point to a Republican vic
tory in the city election, An unusual
ly heavy vote is being polled, and il
will be long past midnight before the
result is known in detail, as there
are more scratched" tickets in evi-
dence than in any previous election
in Tulsa.
DIR. j. +. Ayars is probably elected,
as are also E. f. Louderback and Hen
ry M. Price, and majority of the
Republican aldermen. The vote for
city attorney is close.
1t is conceded that Alderman Peir-
sol, "the watchdog of the treasury, "
is badly beaten.
The election has engaged the
thought and attention Of everybody
today, and it is probable that never
before was there so much interest dis
played in a municipal battle.
Bright and early after the opening
of the polls this morning the Ameri-
can sovereign was asserting his in
alienable right to vote as he pleases,
and large number had done so at 10
o clock.
At II O'Clock things were looking
even more lively, and in the First
and Second wards, especially, the Re-
publican ticket was far in the lead.
Considerable scratching was being
done at mid day, but it was the Dem
ocrats who were doing the scratching.
Republicans, in the majority Of eases,
were voting their ticket straight.
The dinner hour increased the num-
Der of voters immensely, and at that
time the streets looked particularly
lively with groups standing around
and discussing the situation.
The election has been remarkably
quiet and orderly. No drunkenness
is observable, and there is being no
attempt made to vote parties not en-
titled to vote.

He did not have much to say on local
matters, but the little he did say was
advice to vote the Democratic ticket
straight.
Candidate for Mayor Mitchell said
a little in a halting way about his
friendship to the laboring man, and
the whole thing was over at an early
hour.
In the Epperson there was also a
fine audience, which was highly en-
tertained by Colonel George Mowbray,
who llayed the Democratic organ and
a Democratic councilamn until his
hearers howled; by Colonel Sleeper,
who spoke eloqucntly on the present
and future Of Tulsa; by W, j. Gregg,
who stated reasons why workingmen
should support the Republican ticket,
and by Colonel Calkins, William Quer-
ry, and two or three Of the candidates.
These two meetings wound up one
of the hottest campaigns ever made
in Tulsa.

Washington, April 3.-Sen. Long of
Kansas, made a set speech in the SEN
ate today on the court review amend
ment to the railway rate bill drawn
up by the conference Of the senator's,
with President Roosevelt. lie read
from the supreme court decisions that
the commission had the same right to
regulate the interstate rates that
the state railway commission had as
TO domestic rates.
If the states could thus fix the rates,
congress had an equal power He cit
ed the supreme court decisions to
show that the extent Of court inter-
ference with law made rates was linn
tied to the questions whether the com
mission in making them had acted in
authority with the law creating it.
and whether the constitutional rights
Of the carrier had been invaded by
the commissions order.
The supreme court had decided that
courts could not set aside law made
rates unless they are so unjust and
unreasonable as to amount to taking
property without compensation. The
rates must yield fair returns on the
property employed in giving service.
Senator Bailey, of Texas, introduc.
ed an amendment to the rate bill max.
ing express and sleeper car companies
