by the attorney general that they can
not lawfully avail themselves of the

There are about $40 national
banks in the state of Oklahoma" said
Mr.. Kane, ''only fifty-seven of which
entered into the guaranty scheme.
On August 8, last, these fifty.seven
banks were notified that they must
withdraw from the agreement. So
far replies have been received from
thirty-five of Them Twenty-seven

they have notified the state banking
board of their desire to withdraw from
the guaranty agreement and several
have indicated their intention to sur.
render their national charters and re.

Replies have been received frS6l
134 to 253 banks that have nQF en-

HOW w. H. ANDREWS
STANDS IN CONGRESS
Captain George ". Pettis, Of Provi
dence, Rhode Island, Advises Can
didate's Election.

Captain George H. Pettis, who is
state sealer of weights and measures
Of the state of Rhode Island. and an
influential and prominent resident of
the city Of Providence, keeps track Of
New Mexico affairs by reading the
New Mexican Review to which he has
been a subscriber for many years.
Captain Pettis served gallantly and
meritoriously as an officer in the First
Regiment, U. S. Volunteer Cavalry,
which was an important part of the
so-called California column, which un-
der the late Brigadier General James
H. Carleton, U. s. Army, marched into
this territory through southern Cali
fornia, southern Arizona and western
New Mexico in 1862 and was part of
the force that compelled the Rebel
forces to evacuate the southern por.
tions of this territory which they had
entered in force from Texas.
Captain Pettis has the following to
say concerning the nomination and
standing in Congress of Delegate W.
H. Andrews:
Il see by the Review that you are
going to send Andrews back to Con.
gress. This is as 1t should be. Certain
ly every old soldier Of the Civil war
should be friendly to his election. In a
conversation with Representative Adm
B. Capron. from the western district
Of Rhode Island, he spoke very highly
Of the capabilities Of Mr.. Andrews, and
said that he was the best man in the
territory to represent said territory
| am for him first, last and all the
time"
