While 1t is true that Judge Ellis
did not receive a majority Of the par
ty vote cast in the primaries last
year, owing to the large number Of
republican candidates before the
people at that time, yet 1t is true
that in the election in June Judge
Ellfs received the largest majority
ever received by any congressional
candidate in the district. His total
vote was 1884, while that Of
Graham, his democratic opponent
was but 12,151, giving Judge Ellis
a clear majority of 16,243. In the
primaries Judge Ellis received a
plurality OF 2003 votes, with four

The Spokane saloon seems to have
been the bone OF contention, owing
to the dance hall which was run in
conjunction with it, and now that II
has been closed and evidence given
that gambling at the other resorts
will be discontinued the matter has
been dropped and things are running
quietly. The blackjack table and

POLITICAL NEWS NOTES.
Boss Cox Endorses Taft-Wilming-
ton Liquor Men Had 100000 for


George B. Cox, an acknowledged
dealer of the republican party in
Cincinnati, has issued a statement in
dorsng Secretary Of War Taft for
the presidency.
The Endorsement of William H.
Taft for the presidency and ring
ing demand for home rule were the
salient features OF The platform
adopted by the Alaska republicans
in convention at Juneau last week.
State Senator William Finn, the
republican leader of Pittsburg, is
said to be after the seat of Boios Pen
rose in the United States senate. Mr..
Finn is a man of great wealth and
according to rumor he has set aside
the sum of s2,0O0,00O to further his
political aspirations.
Charles r. Jones, chairman OF the
national prohibition committee, de.
clares that the recent liquor victory
in Wilmington. Del, was brought
about by the grossest fraud and
bribery, the whisky dealers openly
boasting the day before election that
they had a fund of from $4,000 to
100000 with which to buy votes.
It is reported an effort will be
made at the coming session of con-
gress to unseat C. d. Carter, the In
dian congressman from the Fourth
district of Oklahoma. The basis OF
the contest is the claim that Carter
had not been a citizen of the
United States the required length of
time provided by law, seven years
He was made a citizen by the IN
dian act passed by congress in 1901.
Governor Charles N. Haskell OF
Oklahoma, who in his inaugural ad-
dress scored President Roosevelt for
his attitude toward the new state. is
Al years old and a native of Ohio.
After leaving the home farm he
taught school for three years and
then studied law. After being ad-
mitted to the bar he practiced law
until 1888, when he engaged in rail-
road building and other constructive
work, In which he made a consider
able fortune. He located in Indian
Territory in 1901 and soon became
prominent in politics.
