Prouress of the South

President Roosevelts speech at the Jamestown exposition on Georgia day was chiefly notable for the things he wants done in this section of the coun- try. After speaking of the marvellous growth of the south, he said:
 "The south will be all the better for new immigrants of the right type, and ] hope to see steamship lines carrying such immigrants established at ports like Savannah and Charleston, Just as I hope to see ports like New Orleans con- nected by lines of steamers with the South American continent, the continent with which our relations should grow ever closer and mutually more advan- tageous.
 Tn the south, as everywhere through the union, we need to see a good edu- cation given free to all children, no mat ter what may be their race or color.
 There must be agricultural and indus trial colleges. and, above all schools in which there can be elementary prepara- ton for agriculture and industry.
 "In the south there is population pe- saliarly fitted to profit by them, . popu-

OkIahoma's Primary Election

The democrats of Oklahoma have held their first state primary, and they have put o. N. Haskell of Muskogee in nomination for governor, and R. l.. Owen of Muskogee and Roy Hoffman of Chandler for United States Sena- tors. MT. Owen, like Senator Curtis of Kansas, has Indian blood in his veins. and MT. Hoffman is newspaper man.
 On August 6 the constitution will be submitted to the people, and the nom- inees of the democracy will go before the people. Whether the republicans will contest the election of August 6, ar whether they will take an appeal to the President, remains to be deter mined. They started out with an ex- ecutive hold-up, but no hold-up can re- strain well-nigh a million of people. An election will be held on August 6, and if the state is to be kept out by Presi- dent Roosevelt it must be done openly and above board The issue must be met.
 Oklahoma contains nearly million people. These people were, as things have long gone, entitled to admission years ago, and the last Congress did not grant them the customary privilege until it had combined Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, both democratic. To keep them both out because they go democratic would be doubling the injury, and it is scarcely probable that any such autocratic and unjust action will be attempted.

RECORD PRODUCTION
 OF BLAST FURNACES

Cleveland, O., June 12.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 A new record in blast furnace produc- ton was made last month our statistics showing an output of 2,2S1 ,030 tons, an in- crease of 64,322 tons as compared with April. The daily production was not, how ever, quite so heavy on account of April being short month, the production for May being 7S,9O4 tons daily, against 74,223 tons in April The large number of fur naces in places on the last day of May indicates continuance of heavy produc- tion.
 The country is having little difficulty in consuming the production of blast fur naces and also a good amount of for elgn products.
 The market is extremely quiet, but there are still no signs of weakness, and fur naces are making no effort to urge buy CTS to come into the market. It seems possible that. there will be a shortage of steel making irons in the central west, and it Is known that some very large companies melting foundry iron have not yet covered for their full requirement.
 In some eenters there Is considerably more interest. manifested in deliveries for the first quarter of next year but sales are not large. In Cleveland district there have been marked improvements in the coke market which with heavy sales and better prices. There Is also considerable activity in Cincinnati, but in other cen ters the weakness which has continued for a month or more still prevails. The production in the coke regions is very large and the railroads are giving good service,

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT GOVERNOR
 GOPHER AND THE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION
ENAToR MORGAN is dead.

C ENAToR MORGAN is dead A @Y vacancy exists in the United
 States Senate. Of succession there is much discussion and many opin- ions expressed.
 The people of almost every southern state, including Alabama. have expressed themselves decidedly in favor of the election of United States senators by the people. Alabama set precedent in it's last general primary election by voting directly for senators. In view of the fact that Senators Morgan and Pettus were both above 80 years of age 1t was decided to likewise vote in primary for alternate senator in the event of the death of either at any time. The people in primary voted to send John H. Bank head to the United States Senate upon the death or retirement of the first of the venerable senators. They voted to send Joseph F.
