PROMINENT MEN INJURED.
Auto and Street Car Collide at Aok-
lard. California.

Oakland, Sept. 2S.-A large auto
mobile, driven by Carlton Wall, the
Alameda capitalist, collided with an
electric ear shortly after g o'clock to-
night at the corner of East Sixteenth
and Ninth avenue. In the automo-
bile were Judge Wall, Mrs. G. r..
French, the chauffeur. State Senator
Lukens, Judge Harry Melvin, grand
exalted ruler of the Elks of the Unit
ed States, and Mrs. Melvin. The col
lision was a terrific one. Mrs. Melvin
was thrown on picket fence and
probably fatally injured. Judge Mel
vim was thrown on the cement pave
ment and painfully injured. State
Senator Lukens was also thrown out
and badly injured. Wall and the
chauffeur escaped with a few scrat-
ches. Wall was driving the automo-
bile at fast clip down Ninth avenue,
when he plunged head on into the
front nart Of fast speeding electric
car going up Sixteenth street. The
collision threw the automobile twenty
feet into the gutter. No one ON the
street ear was injured The wounded

but their hopes were not realized, and
they resumed their operations. But
political murders did not again become
epidemic, until five years ago, in the
reign of the present emperor.
They were started with the unsuc-
cessful attempt to take the life Of
the Grand Procurator of the Holy Sy-
nod, in February, 1901. Next month
came the assassination of Bogolepofi,
minister of public instrction. In the
spring of the following year Sipla-
guine, the immediate predecessor of
Plehve, was killed. Then came inef-
fectual attempts to murder General
Won Wall, Prince Obolensky and latre
Prince Galitzin.
In Januar, 1908. the governor gen.
oral Of Finland met his fate Six
months later. Minister Plehve was
hll.cd by dynamite. Early in the fol-
lowing year the procurator general of
Finland was shot Then followed the
dreadful ending of Grand Duke Ser
gius' life Soon the governor of Baku
met the same fate. Count Shuvaloff
was shot two months afterward. The
year closed with the shooting of Gen
eral Sukharoff. The terrorist opera
tions of the present year are too well
remembered to need enumerating.

both Mr.. Bryan and President Roose-
welt might be opposed from principle
to constitutional prohibition or prefer
other ways to control the liquor traf-
lic in the state.
What would happen to such men If
they were subjected to the demands of
the prohibitionistsl
Though each possessed all of one
hundred qualifications essential to
their absolute fitness as constitutional
delegates, and they should refuse 10
pledge themselves to constitutional
prohibition, they would be fought, and
possibly defeated, by the prohibition
lists for this refusal. In other words,
the men who could best serve all the
people must yield to the demands Of
II certain organization. And the lat
ter might be only balance Of power
in voting, instead of majority Of a
trong minority.
Now observe another phase Of The
question. Ambition TO sit IN the con
stitutional convention moves weak, in
efficient men, and political pirates and
tricksters as forcefully as it does men
of laudable character and acknow
lodged ability. Incompetent and ig-
norant delegates would be as danger
ous to the making of the constitution
as would boodlers and corruptionlsts.
1t is not unreasonable nor beyond ex-
perience in Oklahoma and other stat IS
to assert that the weak men would
gladly and willingly accede to such
demands as proposed by the prohi-
bitionists to get votes for their elec-
lion. And their election would be a
misfortune to the state for years 81
come.

Although attempts were made on
the life of Alexander H., the grand
father of the present Car, in 1866
and 1867, the real terrorist movement
in Russia did nto begin until 1878.
In February of that year, Vera Sas

Trepoff. Only few days afterwards
an attempt was made in full daylight
on the life of Prosecutor Kolliarewski
in Keiif. In ,ha same eiiy 'nee months
later, the captain of the gendarmerie
was assassinated General Menzentzeff

In the following February Prince

Contributed.
The broadest education, the utmost
integrity, and the most far-reaching
experience in public affairs would moi
too strongly equip man for the vast
~ responsible duties of delegate 10
the convention to form a constitution
for the state of Oklahoma.
The making of this constitution viii
be not only for the safety and dura
bility of the commonwealth itself, bu,
it should serve as a model for the
older states. One mistake in the con
stitution might be a vital blow to its
strength; produce evils that quar-
ter of a century of endeavor could
not overcome Once made, the con-
stitution should be sacred, its provi-
sions not to be trifled with by subject
ing them to frequent amendment.
Naturally, the qualifications of the
men who shall frame the constitution
are of the first consideration. A can
didate for constitutional delegate
should not be a man of one idea, nor,
if a man of many parts, should his
usefulness be sacrificed by defeating
his elec ton because he refuses to obey
the demands of any person or of any
organization
1t is here that the injustice and un.
fairness of prohibition advocates
grows plainest. The latter have dc
clared by resolution in their state or
ganization that all candidates who do
not promise to work fo rthe direct in q.
sertion of a prohibition pink in the
constitution shall be blackliSted and
their nomination and election defeai-
ed.
The Democrats Of Oklahoma doubt
less would be pleased to have man
with the gifts of William J. Bryan
in the constitutional convention, anj
the Republicans of Oklahoma would
be no less pleased if they could be

OFFERED TO SELL
ISLANDS TO i. S.
FORMER PRESIDENT GARCIA
WANTED TO DELIVER THEM
FOR PRICE

Quayaquil Ecuador, July 29.-Gov-
ernment newspapers have caused a
sensation here by publishing docu.
ments found among ex-President Gar
cia's private papers. One document
treats of the sale of the Galapagos
islands to the United States. 1t ap-
pears the islands we're first offered to
France. Garcia's memorandum says:
while at Washington visited Pres
ident Roosevelt, and inquired whether
the United States was disposed to take
over the Galapagos islands, paying
Ecuador $5,000,000 in gold for them,
thus recognizing Ecquador's sovereign
ty over the islands. Roosevelt replied
he would recommend the proposal to
congress, and was sure it would be ac-
cepted, and offering to appoint an
American minister to continue the ne.
gotiations in Quito.
"a few days later Joseph w. J. Lee,
the American minister to Ecquador.
arrived in Ecquador."
1t appears the Alvaro revolution,
which resulted in the overthrow of
Garcia, ended the negotiations.

Topeka, Kan, July S0.-When Fos-
ter Dwight Coburn declined appoint
ment as United States senator from
Kansas two stories were told in expla-
nation of his surprising modesty Both,
his friends say, were incorrect.
The real reason, according to the
same authorities, for Mr.. Coburn's re-
fusal to accept place in the upper
house of the national legislature was
his unwllingness to desert sunfower
crop in which he is Ear more deeply
interested than in lawmaking or Wash
ington politics.
Mr.. Coburn himself said he didn't
want to go to the senate because he
couldn't bear to associate with politi-
clans. The politicians replied that he
was afraid to go because he consider.
ed Senator Buttons seat unlucky, and
didn't want to,take his hoodoo on his
own shoulders.

to his friends, though not in an inter-
proposition.
Were there not so much depending
upon the outcome OF the convention
next Wednesday the situation one sees
today would be laughable. AS it is the
situation is serious one and no one
dares to venture a phophecy as to the
final outcome Governor Cummins and
his followers are confident of success
in the convention. They claim much
and concede nothing, and the letter of
the governor published this morning
sets forth their position fully. While
he says there are fair contests in Wa
pello, Jefferson and Jasper counties, he
declares he carried all the other coun-
ties that have been mentioned as con-
tested except Des Moines and Lee,
where he says there is no ground for
a contest by the Cummins delegates.
! The Wapello county Cummins leader,
Major T. P. Spilman, does not hope to
get his delegation acated in the tenn
porary organization, but declares that
the credentials committee of the con-
vention will decide in his favor.
Denies Jurisdiction.
The governor takes the stand that
the state central committee has no
jurisdiction to decide the contests, and
in his letter today he refused to con-
cede it that right. The committee,
however, is holding meeting this aft
ernoon in accordance with an an
nouncement made Saturday for the
purpose of hearing contests and at
least some of the Cummins delegations
were before it to urge their claims.

PROPOSED PROGRESSIVE
PLANK.

We are uncompromisinsIy in
favor Of the American system of
protection. Duties on foreign
imports should not be levied for
revenue only, but should be SO
adjusted as to promote our
domestic Industries, enlarge our
foreign markets, secure remun-
erative prices for the products
of our factories and farms and
maintain the superior scale of
wages and standard Of living of
American labor. Wise and un-
selfish tariff laws, maintained in
the interest of the general well
fare, equally opposed to foreign
control and domestic monopoly,
are essential to our commercial
and industrial prosperity. We be-
Iieve that all Inequalities in the
tariff schedules which inevitably
arise from changing industrial
and commercial conditions should
be adjusted from time to time;
and condemning without reserve
all assaults upon the protective
system we favor such reasonable
and timely changes as will keep
the tariff in harmony with our
Industrial and commercial prog
ress.
We favor the reciprocity in
ausurated by Blaine, advocated
by Mckinley and Roosevelt and
recognized in republican plat
forms and legislation. While the
growth of our foreign trade is
most gratifying we believe that
a judicious application of max
irnun and minimum tariffs will
multiply our exports without re-
strictins our home market.
