people nowadays. We could

Mr.. Bonapart Received an Authen-
tic Transcript of the
Constitution

Washington, May 20. What is said
to be an authentic copy Of the Okla
homa constitution has at last reached
Washington. Orlcials OF the Depart
ment of Justice said today that the
department had received such copy
from William II. Murray, president
OF the constitutional convention. At
torney Bonapart will give the consti-
tion careful study In order to render
an opinion on it when such an
opinion is called for by President
Roosevelt.
The President informed the Okla
homa Republican delegation last week
that he would not even consider the
constitution until an authentic copy
was submitted.
A committee Of Democrats who were
delegates in the constitutional conyen-
tion is due here tomorrow. These
delegates will discuss with the attor-
ney General the Injunction granted by
Judge Pancoast of Oklahoma restrain
ing Governor Frantz and the conven-
tion officials from calling an election

Saturday afternoon in an interesting
and exciting game the Collegians lost
to the Joplin High school boys. The
college boys were handicapped in not
having their regular twirler in the box
and the new lineup rendered the sup
port insufficient at critical stages of
the game, Duke, who officiated as
pitcher was not in good trim, and the
edges of a ragged support were in evi-
dence. The Joplin aggregation, mem
bers of High school league and who
are tied with Carthage for premier
honors, were in excellent condition
and put up a steady, consistent game

wits about him all the time and,
backed by gilt-edge support, kept the

Reiterates Statements of Chieftain
in Regard to Washington Confer
ence Greatly Disappointed.

". II. Darrough returned last
night from Washington, where he
has been in conference with the Re
publican congressional committee in
regard to the proposed constitution
While on the trip he, " company with
S. Z. Wallen visited the jamestown
exposition. They were very much
disappointed in the exposition as it is
not nearly ready for the opening and
nothing is yet in order This Mr..
Darrough says will prove serious in
jury to the exposition company. The
news of the unprepared opening has
gone abroad and thousands OF pros
pective visitors are turned away.
In speaking of the conference Mr..
Darrough simply reiterated the
statements Of this paper in regard to
the matter. The great objection to
the constitution is the Outrageous
gerrymander.
