Observation-Disclosures HEARD FROM
Territory Republican, Gather at
Washington For Conference On
Oklahoma Constitution.

That the Republican machine win
fight the constitution seems certain
from the action Of the politicians sum-
moned to Washington. They will
endeayor to get President Roosevelt
to turn it down, as is shown by the
following from the Kansas City Times:
Washington, May 12-Tams Bixby of
the Dawes commission arrived in
Washington tonight from Muskogee
to attend the conference OF Republi-
can politicians that will be HELD here
this week-to discuss the constitution
Of the new state of Oklahoma.
This conference will be attended by
several prominent Republican politl-
clans Of both territories, Chairman
Sherman and Secretary Watson of the
Republican congressional committee,
and others interested in the new states
first campaign. 1t is understood that
the defects of the constitution will be
emphasized for the benefit of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in an effort to convince
him that he should turn it down.
The fire OF its opponents will be
turn directly upon the Democratic
gerrymander Of the new state. 1t is
declared here that under this gerry

show whatever in the legislative elec-
tion, regardless of The sentiment

CROWD IS WITH HIM.
REPRESENTATIVE CROWD
HEARD HON. CHAS. WEST
ASSURED OF THEIR SUPPORT
Enid Man Convinces Hearers That
He is the Man for At
torney General

The crowd that greeUed Hon. Chas
West, candidate for attorney general,
from Enid was not as large, Saturday
night, as his many friends here had
hoped for, but the assembly was a re-
preventative one, His audience was
made up of the most influential Dem
ocrats of this city, aud that his talk
pleased his hearers was shown by the
way many of those present went up
and shook hands with this able at
torney after he had closed his dis
course. Many of the old timers Of
this section were there and promised
the brilliant young attorney their sup
port.
Mr.. West made the kind OF aspeech
the people like to hear-oDe full of
evidence that the speaker has the in
terest of the people at heart as against
the interest of the railroads and other
great corporations. Through his ex-
perience in cases wherein the railroads
have been interested and in his efforts
to cut the rates in Oklahoma, Mr.
West has gained knowledge Of the
rates charged by the various railroads
entering the new state that probably
no other attorney in Oklahoma pos

DEAD OF THE BLUE AND GRAY
TO BE GATHERED TOGETHER
COL. BELL TAKES LEADERSHIP
Lot Will be Secured From City
Council in Cemetery North of
the City.

Col. L. B. Bell has consented to
take the leadership in movement TO
gather the unknown dead of the blue
and the gray scattered about over
this section and to obtain from the
city council lot Iupon which to erect
monument in the cemtery north of
town. A number of nameless dead
soldiers are buried in the cemetery
here and their graves are marked but
their names are unknown. In the
hot fighting along Cabin or elk near
the old Bell farm many were killed on
both sides, and some are still buried
near where they fell. Most Of the
Union soldiers were gathered up after
the war and inferred in the national
cemetery at Ft. Gibson
No more suitable person for this
important task could be selected than
Colonel Bell. While the matter is
largely one of sentiment, it is worth
while, for people without sentiment
would not amount to much. The
Chieftain hopes Colonel Bell will
push the work and that he will have
the hearty support of our people.
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1907-05-13

sesses. In dealing with the railroads,
the Enid man believes they should be
treated fairly but that they should be
prevented from overriding the wishes
OF the people by securing a monopoly
on all traffic. In the past Oklahoma
has paid more for her freightage than
any of the bordering states, and this
has been a drawback to the develop
ment of commerce in the territories
This evil must be remedied and this
candidate is making his campaign on
a pledge to secure some relief from
these conditions.
The common neglect of the officials
to enforce the laws now in effect, ex-
cept as to criminal matters like muir
der, larceny, bootlegging etc, was
dwelt upon by the speaker. 1t Is
his intention ifhonored with the posi-
tion of attorney general to see that
the corporations comply with the law
as we'll as the private citizen. This
part of his address made a decided
impression upon his hearers, and as
sures him of almost the unanimous
support Of the Democrats in this sec
tion.
While not fiowery, as have been
many talks Of the candidates who
have spoken in this city since the
great campaign began, the speech of
this attorney was one oil The
most effective ever heard here. He
has the ability as lawyer and has a
Of address that does not grow
biresome and convinces one Of his sin
,erity. His argumentatiye style is
fine and has been the means of his
great success as an attorney.
The laboring man was not forgot
5en by this aspirant to one of the best |
)ticers in the gift of the people OF
,he state and he showed his sympathy |
With their cause, and promises a
quare deal to all if he is elected. The

labor question is one not to despise
and Mr.. West realizes the necessity
of dealing justly with laboring classes.
To sum up the whole matter he show
ed that he was willing and prepared to
protect in the fullest the interests of
his constituents-the people of Okla
