TO THE CONVENTION IF FIGHT IS
MADE ON BRYAN is. .UES A
STATEMENT

Guthrie, March 24-Relative to his |
attending the national convention in
Denver in July Speaker w. H. Murray
gave out the following statement in
response to numerous letters which |
had been written to him:
THE question Of 4 or s delegates
WAS not, az the impression seems to
have been made By the press. the real
issue in the Muskogee convention. The
question was the right OF the people
to name their own delegates whether
four or eight. That if the state intend
ed sending eight the fight should have
been made before the committee that
called the convention, that the people
might have had an opportunity to have
spoken on the auestin, and on the
second day Of January prior to the
meeting OF the committee J. proposed
that the question be raised before the
committee and there threshed OUT.
But was told that it was non
sense" that they would not be seat
ed, which / recognized. but an under
standing az that time would have en-
abled the people to choose them.
Il viii grant that it is possible to
have the entire eight seated, (but it
/ is not possible to also seat eight al
ternatesl If the delegations should 60
into the begging business. which in
itself looks little for a new state. It
occurred to me that our first act on
the democratic national stage should
be characterized with moderation with
out being put in the attitude Of a
cringing beggar only in an effort to
graft them out Of four extra votes.
"a the time l said | would not go,
/ / assumed then as do now, that Bry-
an would be nominated without any
effort to defeat him, and that being
true would write the platform and any
man who had physical strength enough
to rise in his seat, and mental strength
enough to cry out Oklahoma casts
fourteen votes for Bryan could repre-.
sent the state as well as any other
unless there was some especial promi-
nence to be gained by some one of her
delegates such as being made chair
man or some other position in an
official way, which now seems improba
Bile Four extra votes for the chair
manship are too much to ask from
any one state. However do want t.
say that in the event there is con
siderable number of uninstructet
states, or if there appears to be al
opposition to Bryan or Bryan policie
from any source, in gratitude to tn
people who instructed for me over tn
state and forced my election at tn
convention, I would go to Denver
make a fight for Bryan and Bryan pol
cies with half vote or no vote at al

Paper From jail.
New York, Dec. 16.-Joseph
Pulitzer, Of The World, in replying
to the TRADE Of President Roosevelt,
says:
80 Far as I am personally con-
cerned, was at sea during the
whole Of October and, in fact, pra-
tically for two years I have been
yachting on account Of my health.
I never read word or syllable OF
this Panama story, was not in con-
nection with the paper and had moth
ing to do with it. Mr.. Roosevelt
knows all this perfectly. He knows
7 am chronic invalid and mostly
abroad yachting oD account Of my
health. I think his anger is simply
due to the sharp attacks made by
The World on him politically. For
that perhaps, I am responsible; that
is for the political criticism Of Roose-
welt on public and political grounds
solely. am really sorry he, shouI5
be so very angry, but The World
will continue to critcise MIN without
shadow Of fear, il he should sue
ceed in compelling me to edit the
paper from Jail.

VERY SAD DEATH.
Lad Killed While Carrying Letter
to Santa Claus.

New York, Dec 17.-The body OF
a frail little fellow, apparently about
ten years old, lies in police sta
tion here today last night under the
trucks of a trolley car near ths
branch postomce in Third avenue
near F.fty-second street, while on
his way to mail letter to Santa
Claus.
AS he breathed his last under
the wheels, his hand stretched forth
and the pitiful letter was seen by
the crowd. A bystander seized i!
and it was dropped in the postoffice
before the boy expired. He ran di,
rectly in front of the car; evidently
wrapped in thought about his letter
The motorman was held on a

one in the neighborhood seemed te
know who the child was. but he
probably will be identified today.

Total for all candidates.14,S52,23s

Total for all candidates. i ,S52,239 9
This grand total e1ceeds by 1,341.-
531 the total number Of votes cast
in the presidential election Of 1904,
when the grand total was 13.510,-
708.
Compared with that election the
candidates of the Republican, Dem
ocratic and Socialist parties increas-
ed their vote this year. The reverse
is true OF the candidates Of the Pro-
hibitio1, Populist and Socialist
Labor parties. The Independent
party did not figure in the presiden-
tial election OF four years ago.
The biggest difference in part;
is shown in an increase Tor Bryan
Of 1881, over thet total vote
cast in 1904 for Alton B. Parker, the
Democratic candidate. Taft receiv-
ed 14,1so votes more than were
polled for President Roosevelt, in
1904, and Debs ran 45,36S ahead
Of his predecessor On the Socialist
ticket.
The heavist loss is shown by the
Populist, who, with the same can,
didate, registered S3,S12s less this
year than in 1904, when their total
was 1l7,133. The Prohibitionlst
candidate, Chain, ran 1924 votes
behind the 1904 mark Of his party,
and Gilhaus, the Socialist Labor
candidate, received only about so
per cent nf the vote given to Cor
rigan, wi L-ch was 31,249, in the pre-:
vious presidential race.
The following is the vote received
by Bryan and Taft In each Of the

AN ANGRY MOB
TAKES POSSESSION OF THE CITY
OF CARACAS.
The Officers of President Castro's
Paper and Business Houses OF His
Friends Wrecked.

! Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 18th
1 people Of Caracas arose toda,
against President Castro. An infu
rated mob, unhindered by the po
lice, swept through the city wreck
ing the property Of his henchmel
and CLOSETS friends.
| The people rounded up all tht
statues and pictures of Presiden
Castro from the clubs and otne,
semi-public buildings and burned
them with rejoicing on the Plaza
Bolivar, Castro's rule in Venezuels
probably is ended.
In spite of Hollands warlike ac
tivity on the coast there have beer
no demonstrations against the Meth.
erlands; they all nave been directed
against President Castro and acting
President Gomez.
Ar enormous crowd Of inhabitants
Of the capital swelled by the people
from the outlying country, gathered
in the streets soon after daybreak,
and it was good for President Cas-
tro that he was in Europe and not
at home. or he might have feared
badly at the hands Of the mob.
The first building to be attacked
and looted was that of the Lottery
Monopoly. The officers of the State
enterprise that has enriched itself
at the expense of the pepole were
ransacked and Dillaged. Furniture
was broken anG thrown into the
streets and thousands Of lottery
tickets were dstroyed. q
The crowd tten moved to the
printing Office of Ell Constitutional,
the, ,o-gan Of President Castro, Of
which Gunersinio Rivas is editor.
and pillaged it completely. A steam
laundry belonging to senor Rivas
also was wrecked.
The statues and pictures Of Presi-
dent Castro were made into a nuge
bonfire on the Plaza Bolivar. The
crowd cheered as the flames coIa-
.pleted the destruction of these eff
fgies Of the. dictator.
Numerous inscriptions setting
forth the virtues Of Castro and eS-
tolling his mowers next attracted the
retaliation Of the mob, and every
inscription bearing Castro's name
was hacked out and erased. Some
Of these legends were carved on the
public buildings Of the city.
1t was after / o'clock before The
crowd had gotten thus far in its
depredations. 1t lacked leadership
and paused IN default Of other
fields for its destructive energies.
1t was then that a detachment of
troops was called out for duty on
the city streets, and acting Presi-
dent Gomez issued a manifesto pro.
hibiting further manifestations.
These measur. mad the desired
effect, for the mob 1uieted down
and then dispersed, after having
burned many Offices and stores Of
the friends of President Castro.
Several people were killed and the
indications are that Venezuela is on
the verge Of revolution. 1t is not
known when President Castro, who
is now in Berlin, will return, but
when he does he will not be. recog-
nized as President any longer.
