The resignation of Addison T. Smith, Register Of
the Land Office at Boise has been forwarded to the
Interior Department and, upon the appointment of
his successor, Mr.. Smith will resume the vocation
of secretary to Senator, in which he has had many
years of experience He is to accept a place
under Senator Hepburn. 1t is said that rearrange-
ment of the goods usually kept upon the pie
had something to do with Mr. Smiths change of
base, but he is too we'll seasoned politician to
admit that there is any distress in the local camp of
the faithful. 1t is merely arranging the lines for
the coming period of strenuosty.

allow "any ecclesiastical organization to usurp in
the smallest degree the functions and power of the
National Government"
In 1881, President Arthur, Republican, in his
nual message to Congress, called attention to the
continued practice of polygamy in the territory of
Utah in the following language:
For many years the executive, in his annual mes
sages to Congress- has urged the necessity OF strln-
gent legislation for the suppression OF polygamy
in the territories and especially in the territory of
Utah The existing statute for the punishment of
this odous crime so revolving to Christendom, has
been persistently and contemptuouSly violated ever
since its enactment Indeed in spite of the COM
mendable efforts the part OF the authorities who
represent the United States in that territory, the
law has in very rare instances been enforced and,
for cause to which reference will presently be
made, is practically dead letter. The fact that
adherents of the Mormon church, which rests upon
polygamy its cornerstone, have recently been
settling in large numbers IN Idaho, Arizona and
other of the Western territories, is we'll calculated
to excite the greatest interest and apprehension 1t
imposes upon Congress and the executive the duty
of arraying against this barbarous system all the
power which under the Constitution and the laws
they WELD for its destruction.

Chickasha's Popular Delegate to the
Convention Enters the Contest
for Judicial Hcnors

"For judge of the supreme court,
Samuel W. Hayes"
That's one of the announcements
that appears in the Express today.
Ever since Mr.. Hayes began to
come to notice as one of the strong
delegates IN the constitutional con-
vention, his name has been con. eted
with this honor and since the con-
vention adjourned, his friends at
home and all over the state have
been urging him to come out for the
office. During the convention, MI.
Hayes studiously avoided any politi-
cal alignments and he did his work
conscientiously and patrioticalIy with
no political objects in view. It was
only within the last few days that
he finally decided to enter the politi-
cal arena for one Of the highest Of
fees within the gift Of the people Of
Oklahoma.
When Mr.. Hayes was elected dele
gate from the 85th district, he was
but little known outside Of this To-
cality. When he left the convention,
it was conceded that no man had
done more faithful or effective work
and none had won more distinction
than he by his labors. 1t was
through ability and industry alone
that he became the commanding fig
ure that he was in the convention.
The committee assignments of Mr.
Hayes were among the most import
ant in the convention and as the
work progressed, the delegates be-
gan to more and more defer to his
judgment and to trust his leadership,
At the very beginning he was plac-
ed on the first committee named, taai
on rules and order Of business. Then
he was assigned to the judiciary com
nittee and Of this body, he was a
ndAmber Of the subcommittee that
drafted the judicial system Of tbs
state. AS chairman Of the legal ad-
visory committee, Mr.. Hayes did an
immense amount Of work, many prop
ositions being referred to that com
mittee for advice. He was also 9
member Of the committee on fedora
relations, chairman Of the commit
tee on schedule and member Of tbs
committee on impeachment and re
moyal from Office. Mr.. Hayes pre-
sided over the committee Of the
whole probably half Of the time anC

HAYES A CANDIDATE FOR
SUPREME JUDGE

he was recognized as a model pre-
siding officer, his rulings always be-
ing impartial.
Mr.. Hayes says he was almost
equally interested in all parts of the
constitution but the fellow-servant
law, the oath Of Office, homestead ex-
emption provision, and the judiciary
system are propositions to which he
devoted special attention.
Judge Hayes, as he may be
called in the future, for he will be
nominated and elected, was born in
Huntsville, Arkansas, thirty-two
years ago. When he was two years
Of age, his parents moved to Texas,
where the future jurist lived till he
was twenty-one years Of age when
he moved to Ryan, I. 7. After teach.
ing school three years, he engaged in
the practice Of law which he has fol
lowed for seven years, making an
enviable reputation for himself as q
successful attorney. Mr. Hayes wal
educated in the high schools Of Tex
as and in the University Of Virginia
He is a self-made man in every
sense. He is fitted for the office hi
seeks as few men are. His higl
character, his legal learning ant
ability, his judicial temperament al
combine to make him an ideal maj
for supreme judge.

character are above reproae "
We most heartily recon-
mend him to the favorable consider
alton Of the profession and to the
public"
Mr.. Taylor has always been a
friend Of the laboring man in his just
demands and frequently represented
the labor organizations Of his state
and the Farmers Union before CON-
mittees Of the state legislature and
in any litigation they had in courts.
The following is from an endorsement
under seal, by the Central Labor
Union Of Kentucky:
"This organization is under lasting
obligations to the Hon. L. X. Taylor
for services rendered US in the past
His ability and ingenious skill have,
in times past, been our only hope
He never lost a case or a point he was
fighting for in our behalf. IL
He has the laborers interest at heart
He is one of the ablest practitioners
at the bar, fluent orator and a
christian citizen worthy the conf.
dence Of ALL"
Mr.. Taylor holds a resolution
adopted by the Odd Fellows lodge Of
Paducah after his departure which
he most highly prizes since It is very
unusual for such organizations to en-
cumber their records with such reso.
lutions when their members move Il
other parts. Here are few ex
pressions from the lengthy resolu-
ton:
eve desire to testify to his sterling
worth as citizen and an Odd Fellow
He taught and practicet
fraternity among men. >
His walk in life has been such tha'
the best might follow.
The bar will raiss him as one Of III
leading lights, the town will miss hin

our lodge will miss HIM as its fore
most champion Of Friendship, Low

POLICIES
Candidate for the State Senate Ex-
presses bis Opinion On the Issues

Today the Express presents the
name Of Attorney L. X. Taylor as a
candidate for the democratic nOmi-
nation for state senator from this

Tennessee SO years ago and came to
this city from Paducah, KY, where
he had practiced law for fourteen
years.
AS a citizen Of our town Mr.. Tay-
Tor has made many friends who are
enthusiastically backing him in this
race. He easily ranks with our bst
practitioners at the bar. In political
campaigns Of the past his ability as
an orator caused many demands to
be made for his services and he often
went beyond the borders Of his own
state to defend the cause Of dem
ocracy. In 1896, under the auspices
Of the National democratic commit
tee, he campaigned the state Of
Michigan for Bryan.
Mr.. Taylor is an active member
Of the Christian church, is an en-
thusiastic Odd Fellow, Is also an A..
0. U. W., member Of the y. o. G..
c. and was a delegate representing
his local lodge Of the w. @. w. in
its recent grand eneampment at
Muskogee. He is a member Of the
Commercial club and is an enthusi-
astic town builder. He Is married
and resides with his family in his new
cottage home at 9th street and Kans-
as avenue, IN chiekasha.
Mr.. Taylor's record back in Ken
lucky VII be shown by the following
extracts from letters and resolu-
tions in his possession.
Mayor D. A. Yeiser, q Padueaa,
KY, (who is serving his fourth term
as mayor) says:
rFor fourteen years Mr.. Tay.or

bers Of IFS profession N this city

christian gentleman and in all D,y
intercourse with him | have had no
cause to Griticise him.
He is valuable acquisition to any
community and / am sorry he secs
fit to leave our city"
The judge Of the Circuit Court and
the commonwealth's attorney in Mr.
Taylor's old district in certifying "a
Tho local bar that Mr.. Taylor is q
praetieing attorney says:
"We are we'll acquainted with Hon.

OVER SCORE OF FIREMEN HAVE A MARROW ESfAPE Sixteen Sent to Hospital from Stubborn Blaze in
 New York. IN SERIOUS CONDITION Carried Unconscious From Burning Building by
 Comrades.
IN SERIOUS CONDITION

New York, May 14-More than a score of flremen narrowly escaped death to-day while fighting stubborn and exceedingly smoky fire in the base ment of fire story building at 325 Broadway. After two hours, during which the firemen fought the blaze in relays, the last squad carrying out their unconscious comrades who had proceeded them sixteen firemen were sent to the hospitals. Some of them were in a serious condition. Nearly every fireman who went to the building was taken out either partially or wholly unconscious The lower part of the structure was occupied by the Remington Typewriter Co.
 Burning oils and rubber making an intensely dense and noxious smoke, caused the firemep's hazardous exper fences These materials were stored down in the basement, where the fire was difficult of access and there was no movement of air The first squad of firemen to enter the structure were hidden in the binding smoke not more than five minutes when they sent a hurry call for help. A second squad brought out most of the members. of the first, either gasping for breath or unconscious. Fresher men essayed the task of reaching the blaze, but none of them could endure the smoky att mosphere more than few minutes and their comrades were compelled to at tempt the rescue. A dozen of the men were stretched out on the sidewalk at one time under treatment for suffo- cation. Meanwhile 100 young women employed by the Remington company had rushed from the building and find | ing the firemen in trouble did their best to resusciate them. Electric fans were brought out on the sidewalk and \ turned upon the sufferers and soon a temporary hospital ward was estab- lished in offices nearby and the fire men who refused to be taken to hos pitals were taken there for treatment. Hospital ambulances carried sixteen firemen away, but many of the suffer CTS consistently returned to the base ment of the pulling, until, completely oAllduslSup they Wcle coHIpelleu " ue- 1 Sist
