RESTLESS UNDER
HASKELL RULE
Oklahoma Democrats Believe That Has

Absolutely Disrupt the Party

he was too weak for so stupendous a
task. The statesman from Durant is
regarded by Democrats as having made
such a record in the constitutional
convention that he is not to be consid-
cred in the race for gubernatorial
honors.
That is why Haskell got into the
game. True, Tom Doyle is candi-
date for the lob on the Oklahoma side,
but Haskell has determined to kill off
all Of the Oklahoma leaders in the
party. He has made up his mind en-
tirely to disrupt the Oklahoma organ
ization in order that new machine,
hailing from Indian Territory, and Of
his own making, may become supreme.
His acts in the convention have been
with that very end in view. He in
sisted upon the elimination of the
HJim Crow clause from the constitu-
tion because he knew the leaders Of
the old Oklahoma organization want
edit. Then ne proceeded to force his
ideas on this subject down the throats
of Moman PruitH and other former
stalwarts, -and strange to say, they
swallowed the dose and licked their
masters nand in abject submission.
Every other piece Of legislation by the
menagerie has been trained along this
very line by Haskell.
And now, as a final stroke, he pro-
poses TO skin the Oklahoma works for
the goyernorship- Naught cares he
for Tom Doyle. The latter helped

NO CAUCUS
Kansans Haven't Acted
on Appointments Of
Judge


The special correspondent OF the
Kansas City Journal at Washington
has sent the following dispatch to his
paper;
The Kansas congressional delegation
has three important matters to round
up before dispensing next week. 1t
was planned to take them up in eau
Gus. today, but Senators Long and
Curtis tied up the senate with the de-
natured alcohol tgh, and Representa-
tive Scott was busy as a conferee on
the agricultural appropriation bill.
The first thing to be settled will be
the Endorsement Of Thomas Ryan for
ppointment as assistant secretary
Of the interior under Mr.. Garfield,
who goes in March 4. Ryan has been
assistant secretary of the interior
since 1897. He was first appointed by
President Mckinley, his warm per-
sonal friend when both were in con-
gress. Ryan is considered one Of the
best posted meu. In America on inter-
ior affairs. So valuable an official did
congress regard him that it passed
law lifting the salary Of his job to
s6,0OCa year "as long as Mr.. Ryan
occupies it. Upon his retirement the
salary goes back to $4,000. President
Roosevelt has given assurance that he
intends to keep Mr.. Ryan, but the
Kansas delegation will back up the
presidents position with solid in
dorsement.
Another proposition for settlement
is the application OF w. r. BIgham,
White City, Kas., for reinstatement
in the consular service.
The third question for action will
be the Endorsement Of a Kansas man
for the federal judgeship Of the East
ern district Of the new state Of okla.
homa. Two .-.Kansans are after the
place Judge Gill and Judge Dicker-
son. DickersoD has more factlye Sup
porters in the delegation than Gill.
Gill's friends are sparring for time.
They don't wanu any caucus action
new, but prefer to have the delegation
meet in Topeka later and agree on
the man. Gill lett for home today,
feeling certain the caucus would post
pone action.
Judge Gills friends here have not
heard from him as to the result of his
visit for Washington. The Judge,
however, is expected home tonight or
tomorrow.

GETTING HARD UP
SO Constitutional Convention
viii Rush Matters From
Now On

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. Henceforth
everything is to be "railroaded" In the
constitutional convention. The dele
gates have finally awakened to the
fact that there are exceedingly slim
chances Of their getting any more
money from the national congress and
the majority of them are getting an
xious to leave Guthrie and 80 to their
homes.
Some Of the delegates are becoming
financially embarrassed, and Of one it
is related that ne went home several
days ago and sold span of mules and
brought the proceeds back to run him
for another week.
A clerk in the employ of the con-
vention today was obliged to ask a
delegate for the loan Of dollar, stat
ing,at the same time that he hadn't
yet had his breakfast.
"I've got TO see If / can't get Bill
Murray to give me some more money" I"
he said, He got the dollar.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. Trouble in
its most virulent form is brewing in
the Democracy Of the new state, Be-
fore long it is expected to break, and
then will be witnessed one Of the
bitterest fights ever known in politics.
To those who have been Watching the
constitutional convention the trend Of
events in the dominant party is ex-
ceedingly plain. OF course there is an
effort to conceal the breach which is
rapidly growing more pronounced, but
the occasional howls Of hit dogs, give
evidence Of what is to come-and that
in the very near future.
The disturber in the party is G. N.
Haskell. This selfish politician has
simply created she0l since his advent
upon the political stage OF Oklahoma
He is being cussed by the former
peerless" leaders of Democracy, and
he in his turn is cussing the aforesaid
headers, and in the meantime ad-
ministering divers and sundry blows
against what is popularity known as
the old organization.
In word, Haskell proposes to be a
candidate for governor. He is deter
mined that Lee Cruce shall not land
the nomination at the hands Of the
Democrats, SO he has decided that he
