When the case of Caleb Pow
ers was called at Georgetown,
last week, the defendent filed an
affidavit, charging the presiding
Judge, j. E. Robbins, with I'M
fairness and prejudice, etc., etc.,
and asked that he vacate the
bench. Judge Robbins, in rem
dering his decision, denied every
allegation in the affidavit, but he
was glad to get rid of the I'M
pleasant responsibility, and,
therefore, declined to try the
case. Judge Robbins decision was
a surprise to the defense, as it
was expected that the motion
would be overruled, thereby CIV
ing Powers an opportunity to get
his case before the Federal Court
Gov. Beckham will again appoint

fill the city with Oklahomas and Kan
sans and other Westerners who are
strong Roosevelt and Taft men.
"But Charles Warren Fairbanks will
be elected, because he can carry the
East, where the conservative business
interests are supporting him. and be-
cause he will carry the South. Not a
federal holder will be allowed in
the conventions in the South and not
one will be sent as a delegate to the
convention. Unless some dark horse
appears before the convention, Fair
banks will be the Republican nominee.
Foraker, Knox and Cannon are not
candidates.
Mr.. Small thinks Bryan will be the
next Democratic nominee. The East
ern Democrats want another candidate !,
but they will not be strong enough to
defeat Bryan at the convention, he
says.
'The mex race for the presidency of
the United States will be between
Charles Warren Fairbanks and Will
liam Jennings Bryan. ="
The above article shows three
things that can not be doubted,
as follows: That Senator Fair
banks is not only a Presidential
possibility but probability, that
the President is a politician close
ly related to many others
throughout the country who
would be Democrats if that par
ty was in the ascendency, that
he is not so scrupulous as to the
third term policy as he is actual
ly afraid that he could not be
elected. In justice to the high
position which he holds and the
high regard the American people
have for him and his position, he
should not have unbosomed him.
self at this moment and intro
duced the real Roosevelt. The
fact is that he is not likely to be
reelected and not much danger
of pushing his choice over the
Republicans in the next National
Convention. Taft is now in the
height of his glory and he is a
long way from the nomination. /
While Fairbanks may not be the
winner, yet he is a strong man
in the race.

per cent. on the original sums and
brings the total amount paid up to
80 per cent.
The bank officials anticipate that the
bank will eventually be able to pay 100
per cent., and possibly even better
than that. as the liquidation has been
rapidly progressing during the past
year, and some properties held by the
bank have largely increased in value.
Notable among these are the real es-

which have already brought better
