vor Of the change. From the other
counties which it was proposed TO
slice up to suit the whims of the
county-seat sharks, Woods, Wood
ward, Greer and Comanche, especially,
have arisen such howls that even the
Haskell-Murray machine has had to
pause.
The demand for the retention Of
the present boundaries comes from
the very class which the Democracy
pretends to represent too. the far
mers,-so it will be practically impos-
sible TO disregard their wishes with
out showing the Democracy up as the

The demand for smaller counties
comes, apparently, altogether for real
estate men who hope to profit from
the proposed changes, and from the
towns that desire to be made county
seats.
One thing is very certain: The far.
mers, who are the people most affect
ed, are not at all frightened at the
bugaboo Of big mileage bills for big
counties. In Oklahoma the farmers
have had a practical demonstration OF
the economy Of large counties, and
they don't propose to have their taxes

Washington, Dec, 1.-THE president
today sent to congress a message on
public land laws In which he urges the
repeal OF the timber and stone acts,
demands radical amendments Of the
desert land act, urges the repeal Of
the communication clause OF the home
stead act, all of which, he declares, in
their present form, serve to turn over
great tracts Of land to speculators.
TO prevent the fraudulent acQuisi
tion Of public lands the president says
he has instructed the secretary of the
interior to allow no patent to be issued
to the public lands under any law
until they are examined and found to
be entered and proved on in actual
compliance with the laws as they at
present exist.
The president believes there should
be provision for the leasing Of coal,
oil and gas rights under proper res
trictions, and that the power to create
national forest reserves 10y proclama-
tion should be extended to Indian
lands, the Indians to be paid full val
ue for the land thus taken.
Ii is therefore evidently the inten-
tion of the president to secure the ap-
proyal Of congress to the segregation
Of the great Cherokee and Choctaw
timber reserves in this territory, the
Indians to be paid full value for the
land segregated.

to the legislature to change them.
This is what the farmers and labor
unions desire, and the delegates from
most of the county seats and record
ing towns are of course willing to ac-
cede to their wishes. Only the Has
kell machine is standing out against
the proposed program, and the ma
chine is threatened with disaster.
Outside of the county boundary
question there is really but little OF
interest happening. The resignation
OIL. t. Russell, President Murrays
private secretary, followed the rather
sensational exposure Of the printing
scandal 1T transpires tnat the enor-
NOUS expense Of printing incurred by
the delegates has been at the bidding
Of Z. G. Niblack of the Guthrie Lead
or, who has been taking all the print
ing at his own figures Possibly the
graft would have been allowed to con-
tinue, he'd not Russell, who publishes
the Ardmore Democrat, squealed.
| Russell claims that Niblack was to do
| the printing, giving him one-third Of
the profits. This agreement Niblack
repudiates, and has been keeping all
the swag himself.
Now it is proposed TO call for con-
tracts on all printing and Russell, it is
understood, will put in bid against
Niblack. 1t is possible that there will
be other bids, also. Gossips are ask
ing whether President Murray was In
on the Russell, NibIack deal. That he
must have known about it is evident
from the fact that Russell was his
private secretary.
