The dull gray sky and dense fog this
morning failed to dampen the ardor of
the two opposing parties in Vinita in the
first presidential election ever held in
this city: At six O'Clock this morning the
election officers went to the voting places
in the four wards in this city and little
later the polls we're opened The voting
did not start off briskly, but there was a
constant stream of voters throughout the
day that indicates that heavy vote will
be polled.
A unique feature of the election held
in Vinita and throughout the Indian
Territory part of the state is the fact that
there are many men, well on the shady
side of life. who have never cast a vote
for presidential election. Men today,
who have figured in Cherokee politics for
thirty years will be allowed to vote for
president for the first time.
While there is deep interest on both
sides the election here has passed off
quietly. The poolhalls, saloons and joints
are all closed and there is practically no
drunkness. Arguments were more Of the
jovial banter than of the heated kind,
both sides seeming to feel that the vote
in this city was fixed and that further
appeals were useless.
The democrats are confident of COM
plete victory in Craig county 1t is
practically certain shat Pete Coyues and

INTEREST BRINGS
OUT HEAVY VOTE
Eager Voters Throughout the Union
Are Thronging Polling Places
to Vote for New President.

New York. Nov. 3-With the first gray
shadows of approaching dawn the American
voters sought today to choose a new
president of the United States. Early
weather reports arefavorable and a heavy
vote being polled in every state, where
there has been semblance of contest
between two leading parties. The polls
opened throughout New York State at six
o'clock and the closing hour is five. There
was rush of voters at practically every
polling place in this city this morning, as
soon as the ballot boxes were opened.
Erie county, in which is Buffalo. is declar-
ed usually an index to national result

the result. A comparison of figures of

Many Old Men Here Cast Their First Ballot
for President Today---lndicatiOns in Local
Election Point to Complete Democratic
y--Repubicans' Only Hope is Elec-
ton of Frank Franklin.

E. N. Ratcliff will receive a handsome
majority for the state legislature. However
the republicans have not conceded the
election of Mr., Ratcliff over Frank
Franklin. In this race both men are of
the highest type of citizenship in the
state and neither party fears calamity
in the election of the opposing candidate.
The county polls show normal democratic
majority and it is believed that Mr.. Rat
cliff has received the entire democratic
vote,l augmented by some republican
votes in the city of Vinita.
The republicans no longer claim the
election of Creager for congress and their
only hope is to keep the majority for
Davenport as small as possible. Reports
from all over the third district indicate a
landslide for Davenport and from these
reports, the Chieftain estimates the
majority for the democratic candidate at
from $500 to 1000.
For the national ticket the democratic
electors will get majority Of about 400
to 500 votes in Craig county. 1t is believ-
ed that Bryan will get the entire demo-
cratic vote. which without any republican
votes will give him the majority named
above.

OWEN IS CHARGED
 WITH SHORTAGE
Ex-City Clerk of Mobile En-
 bezzIeS S19,9OO
PROSECUTION Is ORDER ED
At Late Hour Last Night Owen Had Not Been Located-Expert Ac- countants Have Books
 In Charge.

Mobile, May 7-EXpert accountants em- ployed by Mayor P. J. Lyons this after noon discovered a shortage in the books of ex-City Clerk R. B. Owen to the amount of $29,900 This is the second shortage found in month, an assistant city clerk, Conway Penny having ad- mitted taking $2SOO. The shortage dates back from 1906 to 1903, and a bonding company of Baltimore is good for the first named sum.
 The general council in special session tonight, ordered City Attorney Boone to proceed against former City Clerk Owen both civilly and criminally and against his bondsmen, a surety company, civilly, to recover all or part of the shortage. Warrants were immediately sworn out for Owen, but up to late hour tonight the officers have not been able to locate him. He was seen in the city late yes- terday afternoon, but no reports of his whereabouts today have been made to headquarters.
 The warrants charge Owen with embez- element of $l9 900 it being shown at the council meeting that the item of $1O,OO0 IS a double check in the accounts of the former city clerk, and while charged up as an embazzlement making the total S29,900, it is not covered in the warrants
 The general council authorized the four expert accountants to prosecute their audits until they are in a position to re- port positively the entire amount of the shortages, the discovery of today being the second within the past two weeks
 G. Conway Penny, deputy under Owen, as we'll as in the present administration, was checked up over 5000 short by the same auditors recently.

JOHNSON FRIENDS
 HOLD BIG MEETING
MUCH ENTHUSIASM AT GATHER ING IN MONTGOMERY OPINION IS THAT AGITATION
 COMES TOO LATE FOR EFFECT.

Montgomery, May 7.-(Special.) )-There was a large attendance at the meeting in the Grand theatre tonight in the interest of Governor John A. Johnson of Minne- sota for the democratic nomination for President Col. Alexander Troy presided and the speeches were made by former Congressman Jesse Stallings, former Con- gressman s. J. Bowie, O. P. Stromme of Minnesota and several others The num- Der of men who turned out left the im- pression that the friendship for the stren- uous Minnesota man in this county is quite extensive.
 Many democrats of this county believe that if start had been made in time it might have been carried against MT. Bryan The sentiment is largely in favor of an ew man, though the extent of it is not known. The morning paper having wide circulation and influence, has shown sympathy for any man to beat MT. Bryan. believing that his nomination will not give strength to the ticket. However, the Bryan following is itself very strong, and with the late start it is not thought that the county will be carried against him.

DELEGATE GIVES REASONS
 FOR SUPPORTING BRYAN

Oxford, May 7.-(Special)- B. Dud- ley Williams, a delegate to the demo- cratic national convention, has written the following reply to Chairman A. S. Smith of the Johnson campaign commit tee, in which Mir Smith sought Dr. Will Hams support for Governor Johnson:
 Oxford, Ala, May ', 1908. Hon. A. G. Smith, chairman Johnson
 Campaign Committee, Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Sir-Yours of the 4th and 5th inst
 in support of Governor Johnson of Minne- sota for President, and asking that l become a member of the Johnson cam paign committee, and make speeches in Johnsons behalf, to hand While l am a strong Bryan supporter, l have perused very carefully the reasons set forth in your circular letter to the democrats of Alabama, why they should support John son in preference to Bryan in the ap- preaching primary. Without prejudice and in all candor I must say that, in my humble judgment, the action of your self and other prominent democrats in bringing Johnsons name into the contest at this time is ill-timed and can serve no good purpose for the party. You repeat edly say you do not oppose MT. Bryan, and that the soIe question is one of avail ability. Bryan is all that the party could wish. except as to availability. For this one reason and for no other Johnson is the man. And why Johnsons wonder full availability? You give reason. which you place at your masthead as slogan: He brings victory with him. How so? Why, he has been elected twice governor of the rock-ribbed republican state of
