Republican Strength in Maintenance
Of ROOscNcIt pOllcies.

Gentlemen, the strength OF the re-
publican cause in the campaign at
hand is In the fact that we represent
the policies essential to the reform of
known abuses to the continuance of
liberty and true prosperity, ana that
we are determined, as our platform
unequivocally declares, to maintain
them and carry them on. For more
than ten years this country passed
through an epoch of material develop
ment far beyond any that ever oc-
CURED in the world before. Tn its
course, certain evils crcpt in Some
prominent and influential members Of
the community, spurred by financial
success and in their hurry for great
cr wealth, became unmindful OF the
common rules Of business honesty and
by law upon their action. This be-
came known. The revelations of the
breaches of trust, the disclosures as
to rebates and determinations by rail-
ways, the accommodating evidence Of
the violation of the antitrust law by
a number of corporations, the over
issue of stocks and bonds on inter-
state railways for the unlawful enrich
ing of directors and for the purpose
of concentrating control of railways
in one management all quickened the
conscience of the people, and brought
on normal awakening among them
that BODIED well for the future of the
country

cept that Attorney General David
son made inquiry about taking out
the mandates, but the clerk of the
appellate court had not received the
official notice to mandate from the
supreme court accompanied by the
record. Clerk F. T. Connerly of the
supreme court stated that he would
not transmit the record and man
date to the appellate court until to-
day. Clerk r. H. Connerly of the ap-
pellate court said that the mandate
for execution of the judgments
would not be issued at once because
the oil company had indicated its in
tention of appealing to the supreme
court of the United States by writ
of error, and that reasonable time
would necessarily be given for the
perfecting of such petition for writ
of error.

TELL DAMAGING STORY
Witnesses for the Prosecution Make
An Ugly Looking Case Against
the Slayers of Doctor
Beauchamp.

Lawton, Okla, March 26.-The
jury for the trial of John and Will
liam Thomas for killing DR.. F. d.
Beauchamp at the Rock Island sta
ton here January Is, 1908, was
completed at noon yesterday. The
entire original panel was exhausted
and twenty-five of the additional Zoe
called. Nine of the jury are farmers.
one is a lveryman and two are mer-
chants.
Attorneys for the defense and
prosecution opened the afternoon
session with statements of their
cases. County Attorney J. A. Fain
charged malicious murder with pre-
meditated design, citing as evidence
the fact that ali five bullet wounds
entered the body from the back.
Al J. Jennings made an able plea
for the defendants, alleging that Dr.
Beauchamp who had come between
the brothers and behind John, had
set his luggage down and started
for his gun when William, fearing
the killing of a second brother Che
had heard that threats had been
made), opened fire, and John, turn
| ing and seeing the apparent duel,
also opened fire, stopping shooting
only after the enemy was known to
be dead
| Ter witnesses for the prosecution
were examined yesterday afternoon.
| While the large crowd at the depot
| where the killing occurred caused
much of the evidence to be some
what uncertain, majority OF the
witnesses swore that Beauchamp,
| laden with typewriter and bundle,
dropped them only after the first
shot and then got his revolver, but
was unable to fire.
Dr.. D. A Myers, who examined
| the wounds after death, stated that
five bullets had entered the body, all
from the back, and that any one OF
| four would have been fatal Around
three of the wounds the flesh was
| power-burned Officers who exanin-
ed the guns found four shots gone
! from one six-shooter and two from
| the other.
| Both defendants and the dead man
were old residents of Wise county
| Texas, William Thomas still living
! in Chico.
! Fifteen or twenty Texans are here
attending the trial. Two prominent
| Texas attorneys are assisting, w, Nj.
