HAVE BEEN EXAMINED BY. THE
.:nSPEcIAL GRAND JURY AND lis
MORE SUMMONED .sI---s
INDICTMENTS ARE EXPECTED
To be'RepOrted next Tuesday. Invest
igatiOn Expensive for Uncle
Sam

When the special grand jury
that is investigating the Womack
lynching adjourned yesterday,
ninety-h five witnesses had been ex-
amined and the number passed the
hundred mark today. It is expected
that the total number of witnesses
will reach I5o.
The jury expects to complete its
work and report to Judge Dicker-
son next Tuesday and while its
proceedings are profound secret,
it is judged from the earnestness
with which the government is pur-
suing the investigation and the
largeIexpense thai. is. being incurred
that there will be something doing
in the way of indictments when the
report is made. 1t is rrmored that
some of the parties connected with
the affair are already preparing to
decamp, but this is mere surmise OF
course, . aud canuot be vouched
for.
It is going to cost Uncle Sam
pretty heavily 10 find out who
hanged the negro. The jury has
already been in session ten days
and the sixteen men who are serv.
ing receive three dollars per day.
In addition there are the baiIiffs
who receive thfe dollars per day and
witnesses who get sI.S0 per day
and ten cents mile for the distance
Travelled. Besides their expenses,
the deputies receive fifty cents
for each subpoena served
Should the jury adjourn
next Tuesday, the cost of
Jury service alone for thirteen days
at s4s per day, will be s624. The
aveage fee of witness will prob
ably amount to S., or $3.50 for $50
witness. Add to these sums the
other costs, the total cost to the
government for the investion alone
will likely amount to $500
The questicnis frequently asked
ShetheT cases growing out Of this
affair will be transferred to the
state courts if they are not tried
before the state government goes
into operation. There seems to be
little doubt on this point as the
statehood bill provides that al
cases in which the government IS q
party and that are pending at the
time the state government takes ef-
feet shall be tried in the federal
court.

HELD R0USING MEETING AND
ORGANIZED A BIG CLUB
LAST NIGHT
STARTS WITH 100 MEMBERS
Much Enthusiasm was Manifested
The Chickasha Orators Delivered
Stirring Addresses

The Rush Springs Democratic
Club started on its career with
rush last night. In the midst OF
great enthusiasm, brilliant oratory,
patriotic music BY the celebrated
Rush Springs band, with the hall
packed with rock-ribbed democrats
Of the town and vicinity, the new
club was launched with about one
hundred members. Rush Springs
people are slightly democratic in
their tendencies and il is expected
that the club membership will run
up to at least 75o, while the most
the republicans can hopes to muster
IN that vicinity is about IS. A
leading republican Of the town was
able to count only "a who were
known to be republicans.
A. NJ. Dicks, precinct organizer,
called the meeting to order and
acted as temporary chairman while
Prof. Collins acted as temporary
secretary. In perfectiug rhe per-
manent organization, there was
lively, good-natured contest, for the
presidency Of the club. WA. Hop
per and Attorney Ellis being the
candidates for the honor. Both
Of the gentlemen were called upon
10 degne their positions on the var.
ious issuse and made excellent
speeches. Mr.. Hopper was elected
and Mr.. Bonner was chosen for the
position OF permanent -cretary.
The principal oratory was furn-
ished by Frank NJ. Bailey and F.E.
Riddle Of Chickasha.
Mr.. Bailey was introduced as the
slender sycamore ofthe Washita,
and for thirty minutes or more he
preached the gospel of democracy
in a clear, forcible and entertain
ing manner that held the closest
attention Of his audience. He dis.
cussed the conditions in the new
state and explained the response
bilities Of citizens, growing out OF
these conditions. Party organiza-
ton was the means through which
the citizen should meet his obliga
tions and the people were urged TO
ally themselves with the party
that espoused the interest of the
many against the few. Demo-
cratic organization was necessary
to protect the people from corpor-
ate greed.
The Chairman introduced Mr..
Riddle as an orator of national
fame and Bailey says that Riddle
made good the claim. He made
an old-time, ringing democratic
speech, advocating the principles
of jefferson and BRYAN as the true
democracy and the only hope Of
the people. Mr.. Riddle also made
some timely suggestions on party
harmony.
The Chickasha speakers were
met at the train by a delegation
Of citizens and were royalty enter
tanned at the hospitable home Of
Mr.. Dicks. They were delighted
with the reception accorded them
: and are enthusiastic over the spirit
manifested by the Rush Springs
democrats.

The Democrats of Juab county feel con-
fioent of recovering the county this year

ali of the county offices. The Democrats

resolutions are particularly pertinent in
Juab county and are given herewith:
We. the Democrats of Juab county, in
convention assembled, hereby reaffirm
our allegiance TO the principles of the
Democratic party as founded by Jefferson
patriot and commOner. William ]. Bryan
and expressed in the recent national and
state platforms.
We deplore the oppression of the COM
NOR people caused by the trusts and mo-
nopolies fostered. built up and maintain
ell under the Republican administrations
and the atrOciOuS grating of the money
powers in the insurance and trust funds
designed for the widows and orphans
wherein these funds have been diverted
into Wall street specuiations and Repub-
lican campaign funds, which contributions
have not been returned to the companies
by the national Republican chairman. who
is now holding cabinet position under
this administration, and who did not at
any time come within the jurisdiction of
the committee in the state of New York
investigating the insurance frauds.
We condemn the action of President
Roosevelt IN importing Chinese coolies for
the building of the Panama canal.
We deplore the inequitable. unjust and
oppressive tariff passed and maintained
by the Republican party for the benefit
of the Steel Trust and other monopolies.
We condemn the action of the president
in appointing to office personal friends
without further qualifications. and in Civ
ing slight and insult TO honored and eff
ficient officers of the army and navy
We deplore the fact that, although
President Roosevelt has been president
for the past five years, there has not
been single instance wherein any one

ton of the antitrust laws OF the United
States.

LABOR CAMPAIGNERS BUSY.
Chairman Elton Prophesies Big Vote
on Election Day.

Chairman Daniel /. Elton of the cam
palgn committee of the Independent La
hours OF hard work in organizing the UNI
organized forces of workers who have
volunteered to get out and hustle for the
aid of the new party
More than 500 volunteer political work.
erS have sent their signatures TO the cam
paign committee and these are being as
signed TO various parts Of the city and
county
An especially active campaign is being
carried on in Bingham and Murray. The
work is not of the brass band and torch
ilght procession variety, but is character
lied by the workers as 1.-The gumshoe'
variety The workers are making an in
dlYidual canvass of the voters in the dis
tricts to which they are assigned and are
making personal appeals to them for their
support.
There will probably not be a voter in
the town of Bingham and Murray who
mas not been or viii not be buttonholed
py these volunteer agents of the party.
Chairman Elton sent to each member of
this corps yesterday, a personal letter
and a number of copies of the platform
and ticket in order that they may be fully
supplied with campaign material.
The headquarters of the party in Fed
Grafton of Labor hall is a scene of activity
ana industry. Chairman Elton has had
installed a voting machine, and hundreds
of workingmen have called to examine the
machine and cast a sample vote in order
that no time would be wasted by them on
election day
The members of the campaign commit
tee are urging all the wOrkingmen with
whom they come in contact to register
and be assured that they will have no
trouble when the time comes to vote
and by reason OF this the leaders of the
party expect TO poll nearly their COM
plete vote.
Chairman Elton found that he was in
trouble yesterday when he read the Utah
election law and learned that it was re-
M 10y TO how fEn
cants who signed the petition to have the
Labor party ticket placed on the official
ballot, swear that they are voters in this
&C unity The signatures of 207 petitioners
were attached to the application, but no
affidavite were taken. This matter will
be arranged satisfactorily Sunday night
when a notary will swear as many Of the
petitioners as are at the hall of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. Chairman Elton has
notified all the signers of the petition to
be present at the Federation hall and be
sworn.
The second rally of the campaign will
morrow night at s o'clock. Some of the
best speakers on the ticket will be pres
ent and there will also be good music
is the promise of the campaign committee
Among the speakers will be j. G.. By
water, nominee for the state senate and
A. G.. Allen who has been prominently
identified with the Socialist Labor party
in the past.
1t is the purpose of the campaign COM
mittee to organize number of marching
clubs in the city and county, and torch
light professions will be among the fea-
lures of the Labor party campaign.

MALONEY MAY
BE EASY WINNER
Americans" Alone Made
Nomination for Short Term
Supreme judgeShip.
MAY MANDAMUS TINGEY
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE Is
PLACED ON STATE TICKET.

The announcement that the Democrats
have filed no nomination for the short
term justice of the supreme court is ex-
tremely likely to bring about some inter
esting proceedings. A report was current
on the street yesterday that the Amer
leans" through their state chairman,
would institute mandamus proceedings
against the secretary of state to compel
the removal of Judge Tricks name. from
the ticket as the Republican short term
nominee.
1t was pointed out that the Republican
state convention did not officially make
any short term nomination. On the con-
trary the matter was completely over
looked, Judge Frick merely being NOM
mated for the term beginning the first
Monday in January, 1907. There is moth
ing m the official records of the conven-
tionFto show that any short term nominal
s-ti9n was made. Neither is there anything

was passed, but that, 1t is commended did
not give the committee the right to make
such a completely fresh nomination as the
selection of Judge Prick for the short
term Some first class lawyers were
willing to say that in their opinion the
mandamus proceedings could certainly be
made to stick.
The Americans" were in great glee
over the prospect. They asserted that
their nominee for the supreme court short
term. Judge Maloney of Ogden, would
hold office from the day after the Off
cial count until the first Monday in jan
uary, in any event. This he would do if
he secured one single vote, and il is
conceded that he will receive that many
in his own voting district in Ogden.
The situation is an unusual and an in
teresting one. Here is the spectacle of
three parties holly contending for places,
while the nominee of only one OF them
can, if lawyers are correct in their opin-
ion, be held to be lawfully eligible. The
Democrats have no nominee for the short
trm. The Republican nominee, if placed
on the ticket by a vote of the state COM
mittee. and without regard to the wishes
of the convention, may be blotted out.
it is too late to cali another state con-
vention, so that if the courts uphold the
American" theory and mandamus pro-
ceedings are made TO stick there will be
just one candidate on the ballots and in
the voting machines for the short term
Justiceship. That candidate will be the
American nominee.
