State Is Democratic.
Oklahoma will probably be Demo
cratic in politics for some time to
come. The governor-elect, c. M. Has
kell, Of Muskogee, received a majority
of 27,O00 votes. The state will cast
approximately 25O,0OO votes, of which
number from 10000 to $4,000 are by
negro voters. The majority for pro-
hibition was about 10000. OF the 12
Republicans in the constitutional con-
vention six came from each side Of the
new state.
Gov. Haskell is one OF the newer
residents of the state, having gone
there from Ohio. Other officers are:
Lieutenant governor, George Bellamy,
of FL Reno; secretary of state, Bill
Cross, of Oklahoma City, whose
friends say he would not be recog-
nized II referred to as William
Cross" treasurer, ]. B. Menefee, of
Anadarka; attorney general, Charles
West, Of Enid, and chairman of the
commissioners of corporations, ]. J.
McAlister.
The state in primaries has selected
to represent her in the senate the first
blind man who has ever sat in that
body. He is T. P. Gore, who lost his
sight when a boy in Mississippi,
where he was born. He has served in
the territorial legislature. Robert
Lee Owen, who will be elected as the
other senator is a totally different
type. Born in Virginia, he is one
eighth Cherokee Indian, and is looked
upon as an extreme conservative. He
distinguished himself as lawyer by
earning a fee Of $150,000 in single
case. Both these men have been
| chosen by the Democratic primaries,
which is equivalent to their election
by the legislature. OF the representa-
tives Bird S. Mcclure, for some years
territorial delegate from Oklahoma, in
| congress, is the only Republican OF
/ the five elected. Others are E. L. Full
ton, a brother of Senator Fulton, OF
Oregon, Second district; James S.
Davenport, Third district; Charles d..
Carter, Fourth district, and Scott
Fairns, Fifth district

Amazing Natural Resources.

Within its borders Oklahoma is
known to have vast stretches of coal
lands; natural gas, also, is abundant,
while the states resources in salt as
phalt, oil, granite and marble, building
stone, zinc, lead, copper, gold and tim
ber, place it among the most desirable
sections of the country for investors.

The Times has large circulation The paper goes to nearly every state in the Union, and frequently few copies are sent to Europe. Since in stalling mailing machine, after the name of a subscriber is once entered upon the list, it is almost impossible in the natural operation of things to skip any subscriber, We have much complaint, however, from subscribers that they do not receive the paper regularly, and we make the above statement for their information, and to reiterate that the fault does not lie in our office. 1t has long been a matter of opinion with us, and of it's truth we are now convinced, that many postal clerks generally do not exercise sufficient care in handling newspaper mail and do not attach such importance to it as it deserves. As matter of fact, to many persons their home paper is more eagerly sought and is of more importance than the usual letter mail, and this fact should be often impressed upon the minds of those who handle newspaper mail, to the end that thousands may be properly served

PARDON ONLY HOPE.
Finding of Jury in Case of Alfred Carr, Convicted of Murder in the First Degree, is
 Sustained.

MT. Justice Battle, of the supreme court, delivered the opinion of the court in the case of Alfred Carr against the state, appealed from St. Francis circuit court.
 Carr was indicted for murder in the first degree, for killing Bill Silyers and was convicted last September.
 The higher court says: He com plained of the trial court, because it permitted the state peremptorily to challenge two jurors after they had been examined and accepted. This was not error; it was lawful to do so. He next complains of witness who testified that he, Carr, at the time he was arrested said that he expected to be convicted, and that if he killed Silvers he was drunk, and that one Cook, advised him to submit to arrest and assured him that he would be pro- tected. The testimony was admissible as tending to show confession.
 The court committed no error in permitting the attorney for the state to crosS-examine Carr when on the stand with regard to his relations with Emma Smith.
 He also complains of instructions refused by the court with regard to circumStantial evidence, but his con tention cannot be sustained because the court properly instructed the jury as follows: The jury are in- structed that in cases depending on circumstantial evidence it is necessary that all the circumstances taken to- gether must convince beyond reason able doubt of the defendants guilt, and II after a mature consideration of all the circumstances the jury have a reasonable doubt, they should acquit. ;
 The evidence was sufficient to sus- tain the finding of the jury.
 Affirmed.
 This puts it up to the governor, and Carr's only chance now lies in the mercy of the chief executive. We understand that a petition for his pardon will be gotten up. If the governor refuses clemency,, he will fix the date for Carr's execution. Carr was convicted almost entirely upon circumstantial evidence, and be. sides those who would oppose capital punishment or conviction upon cir. cumstantial evidence as matter ot conscientious scruple, there are many who believe Carr to be innocent, and that he is a victim of circumstances ignorance and prejudice.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life. fErnm The Chicnpe Trihnnn

" Don't tritle with a cold, is good advice for prudent men and women. 1t may be vital in the case of a child.
 Proper food, good ventilation, and dry, warm clothing are the proper safeguards against colds. If they are maintained through the changeable weather of autumn, winter and spring, the chances of a surprise from ordinary colds will be slight. But the ordinary light cold will become severe if neglected, and a we'll established ripe cold is to the germs of diphthe- ria what honey is to the bee. The greatest menace to child life at this season of the year is the neglected cold" Whether it is a child or adult, the cold slight or severe, the very best treatment that can be adopted is to give Chamberlain's Cough Rene dy. It is safe and sure. The great popularity and immense sale of this preparation has been attained by it's remarkable cures of this ailment. A cold never results in pneumonia when it is given.
