Convention Re-AssembEes Some Of
Probable Changes

Guthrie, Okla, July 10-Placing
immediate statehood above every sell
fish and party interest, the delegates ii
to the constitutional convention, which |
reassernbles today, will meet every OBJ
lection urged against the proposed
instrument by the republican party
by correcting and eliminating the sec
tions complained Of, according to the
sentiment Of the delegates that have
already arrived in Guthrie.
1t is now practically conceded shat
the Legislative apportionment will be
amended either by increasing the mem
bership and distributing the added
number among supposed republican
sections Of the state in the northern
half or by transferring Pictorial dis
tricts from the southern to the north
ern half Of Oklahoma.
!; The provision Of the constitution
disfranchising all persons actively en-
gagged in military Oh naval service
Of the United States will be amended
50 as to permit soldiers and sailors
enlisting Oklahoma to exercise the
/, right Of franchise at the point OF
: their original enlistment.
Foreign corporations will be permit
: ted 20 appeal their cases or to take
change Of venue to the federal courts
without forfeiting their charters to
transact business within the state,
and the provision that gives the right
Of a jury trial in all contempt cases
probably will be SO amended as to ali
\ low judges to punish contempt shown
in open court or in the presence Of the
court without hearing before
l. jury.
An amendment may also be adopted
to the revenue section Of the consti
Z tuition allowing school districts to le

! purposes.

The scheme to delay the convention
until after the census is taken IS not
looked upon with favor.
Mr.. Haskell said;
@Why republican politicians should
kick upon the figures upon which we
based the apportionment is hard 70
understand. Our figures were taken
from the state auditors Office. The
estimate Of population was giver 70

in turn certified the returns to the
state auditor. That republican Of
ficial made sworn statement to the
governor who incorporated the aud

election to ratify or reject the con-
stituti will be held on Tuesday, Sep
tember Delegate John j. Carney,
Of El Reno, member Of the ordinance
committee Of the constitutional con-
vention, said today that Governor
Frantz will be given five days fol-
| lowing the final adjournment Of the
convention in which to issue his cleo
ton proclamation and that go days

He says atso that the proper copies oi
both the election ordinance and the

tutional convention"

and, "owing to the hopeless incom-
potency and impotency Of the demo-
cratic majority of the delegates in
said convention and without hindrance
by the republican party, our people
are now being unlawfully and unjust
" deprived of the privileges Of self
government" etc; and then it pro
ceeds to resolve that @we favor and
demand the immediate admission Of
Oklahoma and Indian Territories to
statehood that the delegates from

THE COTTON
OUTLOOK
Mr.. Potts Says Conditions Have Inn
proved Average Crops Expected

"Cotton prospects over the country
as shown by the reports to our office
are good" said L. NJ. Potts this morn
ing. Conditions have improved Won
fderfulIy witbin the last ten days all
over the country and the yield should
average well with that Of former
years. Mr.. Potts is practical cot
ton man and keeps in close touch with
the conditions over the southwest and
he sees no reason for an ydiscourage-
ment.
In regard-to the rumors that the
new cotton oil mill would shorten the
runs Of the old mill, Mr.. Potts said
there was nothing in it for the reason
that the Chickasha oil mill had their
own gins over the country and they
would be able to get their part Of tht
seed Of other gins and that it could
not materially shorten the seasons
Of the old mill.

be instructed to vote for the nomlna-
ton Of a full state ticket, county and
township tickets. Payne again made
a point Of order and was upheld by
the chair. Fechheimer appealed from
the chair but the court house crowd
with their proxies were loaded and the
chair was sustained This ended the
battle and the rest Of the proceedings
were without special interest. The
committee on delegates reported and
the delegates were duly elected and
the convention adjourned.

A PEOPLE DEFIANT.
Will Build Jersey City Stations Where
They See Fit.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY. Aug. 7.-Utterly disre-
garding all plans and propositions offered
them by many business men in Jersey
City. the Hudson Tunnel Company turned
down cold a final appeal by the Committee
Of One Hundred. most Of whom are the
most prominent in the commercial and
mercantile field. and informed that body
that they would build stations where they
saw fit.
The committee wrote to President Nc
Adoo and requested an audience. This
request was granted, and yesterday after
noon this body of business men visited the
tunnel head at his office in New York.
The views of the Jerseyites were to
have the mpan build a station on Rail-
road avenue. from Grove to Henderson
streets. one at Grove street and Pavonia
avenue and another at Newark and Sum-
init avenues. This would give the people
of Jersey City ample accommodations for
travel to New York and Newark.
The tunnel people said that they had
waited long enough for plans from the
JERSEY City fathers and waited in vain,
and they had decided to go ahead and
uild where they saw fit.

NO CONFETTI THROWING.
Elizabeth Proposes to Make Her Old
Home Week Dignifed.

ELIZABETH, Aug. mo ticklers, no
confetti" is the edict Of the Did Home
Week committee, announced yesterday, and
Elizabeth looks forward to the novelty OF
a weeks carnival without these time hon
ored accomplishments. The committee has
determined that this celebration Is going
to be a dignifed one, though promising at
the same TING that 1t will be lively enough
to attract the attention of the entire
state. After seeing the undignihed manner
in which tinklers and confetti were used
by ordinf staid Bostonians during the
recent eel, alton at the Hub, IL was de-
cided tina it would be best to put a ban
on them here.
vice-President Fairbanks is to be In
vited to attend the celebration, and the
committee is ~sanguine OF his accepting the
invitation, as Mr.. Fairbanks is known to
be very anxious to get in touch with voters
all over the country. He was the drawing
card at the Boston celebration and the To-
cal committee thinks he will help things
considerably here If President Roosevelt
should decline the invitation to attend. Sen
ator John Kean has promised to arrange
for an interview between the President and
the committee. Governor Stokes will very
likely be one of the guests of honor at the
celebration.
