WON'T SCRAP
AFTER ALL

Paris, Oct. 14.-Adyices received
here from French official sources indi-
cate that the danger point in the Bal
kans has shifted back to Bulgaria.
While there Is no confirmation Of the
report that Bulgaria has delivered an
ultimatum to Turkey regarding the rec
ognition of her independence inside of
three days, there is reason to believe
that Bulgaria Is determined to make
move If Turkey and the powers per-
sist in their refusal to accept her in
dependence as an accomplished fact.
It is believed here that if the Bull
garian army crosses the Turkish from
tier Great Britain will land troops for
the protection of Constantinople.
The danger of a declaration of war
from Servia is considered over for the
present. The French government has
decided to leave Servias demand for
compensation from Austria-Hungary to
the consideration of the powers.
M. Stancioff, the diplomatic agent
of Bulgaria in Paris, declares that the
situation in Bulgaria was grave and
tense. "a rapid solution is neces-
sary," he said. The agent said, how
ever, that he did not believe an ulti-
matum had been sent to Turkey.
The Turkish ambassador here, Ma
sum Pasha, admits that Turkey is
taking defensive military measures,
but he repeats that Turkey desires
peace.

wELLMAN ON N. Y. SITUATION

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Walter Wellman
wires from New York to the Chicago
Record-Herald as follows:
Having made extensive inquiries as
to the state of public feeling here in
New York, deem it my duty to point
out that there is nothing sure about
the verdict of New York; doubt does
exist. The well-nigh decisive thirty
nine electoral votes OF the state are
yet to be fought for. There are ele-
ments which threaten unpleasant sur
lprises for those who have settled down
into the comfortable belief that the
state is safe and sure. It is impossi-
BILE to study the conditions now exist
ing here without coming to the conclu-
sion that their net effect is to help
the Democrats. If we compare the
Bryan of 1896 and 1900 with the Bry-
an Of today, in the opinions of the
people of New York, he has gained
tremendously. Evidence of this is
found in the well known Indifference
Of banking and commercial men to the
outcome Of the present election. Those
who are Republicans are as a rule
against Bryan, but not savagely. They
no longer look upon his possible elec-
tion as forerunner of the national
disaster. They are not spending money
to defeat him. Many business men
who in the Bryan campaigns of the
past have worked energetically for the
Republican ticket will this year stay
|at home on election day or vote for
Bryan himself"

THOMPSON KINDLES FIRE UNDER
REPUBLICAN, TREASURER

rstory to investigate alleged miscon
dust on the part of federal officehold
ers, in 1908, James A. Harris volun
tarily appeared before them and testi
fled that during the trial of his case
Shoenfelt had been under the influ
ence of intoxicating liquors. Numer
GUS witnesses who were present in
Shoenfelts office on the day Of the
Harris trial swore that the Indian
agent showed no signs on that day Of
having been drinking. Among these
was Judge John r. Thomas Of Musko-
gee, for four years Judge Of the United
States court in Indian Territory, and
for ten years prior to that a mem
bCr Of congress from the state of ILL
nois, who swore that he knew Shoen-
felt we'll and had never seen him un-
der the influence of liquor; that he
had tried a case before Shoenfelt on
the very day OF the Harris trial and
that Shoenfelt was perfectly sober. He
was as sober as l am, and ] am a tee
toaller,' was Judge Thomas testimony.
This is bit of information to which
l respectfully call the attention Of the
Republican Pharisees who have been
holding up their hands in holy horror
at the alleged disclosures concerning
Governor Haskell made by that polIti-
cal Pariah and prince Of scandal mong-
ers, William Randolph Hearst.
THE father of yellow journalism re-
peated hearsay evidence charging Gov
ernor Haskell with wrong-doing. The
President OF the United States a bitter
partisan. and personal champion of the
whose campaign for the presidency
Governor Haskell was so effectively
opposing, took up the Hearst charges
and heralded them to the country as
his own. The Republican organization
and the Republican press of Oklahoma
said that President Roosevelt was right
in demanding that Governor Haskell
be eliminated from Democratic nation
al councils. They said that Governor
Haskell should resign as national treas
urer of the Democratic party. That if
he did not do SO voluntarily, Bryan
and the Democratic national committee
should compel him to resign.
"Well, Haskell did resign, although
in doing so he made It plainly evident
that his resignation could not be ac-
cepted as a confession of guilt. Now
what is the Republican management
in Oklahoma going to do about the
treasurer Of their own state committee,
whom a sterling Republican like for
mer Indian Agent Shoenfelt declared
could be proven by numerous witnesses
as a man whose general reputation for
truth and veracity was bad and that
they could not believe him under oath
What will they do with this treas
urer of their state committee whom
Republican and member of the Presi-
dents cabinet like Attorney General
Bonaparte declared had impressed him
so unfavorably while on the witness
stand that he refused to hear testimony
Harris reputation for truth
and veracity because he felt that addl-
tional evidence on that question was
unnecessary. What will they do with
this man who volunteered his testi
mony, and yet whose appearance and
manner while testifylng were, accord
ing to Bonaparte, such as to make his
evidence incredible. and whose evi
dence numerous witnesses swore was
entirely false7"

CORE PREDICTS
VICTORY

Shawnee, Okla, oct. Inc He
publicans are divided, everywhere, and
the Democrats are united everywhere.
The prospects for Democratic success
nationally are growing brighter every
day, and with the election but three
weeks in the future similar conditions
throughout the Union foreshadow a
Democratic victory as great as that Of
1884" said United States Senator
Gore at Democratic state headquarters
today.
Il have travelled from ocean to ocean
in the past six weeks. and in almost
every state visited .- have re-
turned a Republican majority for the
past twelve years / find the Repub-
licans in huge local row. In New
York West Virginia, Ohio. Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin. Sout4 Dakota,
Iowa and Kansas Republican state
Democrats are united, aggressive and
confident Some Of these states will
again be carried by the 4.opublican
ticket, Notwithstanding the dissatisfac-
tion and detection from the Republican
ranks, but others are going to cast
their electoral vote for Bryan. Never
since 1884 has the Democratic party
been unitel like 1t is today. Not since
1884 have the Republicans been d.
vided as they are in this campaign.
Their dissension and our unity are both
sources of keen distress to the Taft
campaign managers.
Coupled with the advantages to the
Democracy Of a united front in the
face Of dlsorganized enemy is the
fact that the Democratic national plat
form contains a number OF planks
highly popular with the people, that
are Overwhelmingly rejected by the
national Republican convention. Among
the most popular demands OF the Dem
ocratic platform are those for the
election OF United States senators by
direct vote. for the publicity of cam
paign contributions before the election
for the anti-injunction law and Jury
trial for contempt, and for the ma
tional guaranty of bank deposits. Ey-
erywhere have spoken find the peo-
pie intensely interested on the Okla
homa bank deposit guaranty law, and
a large majority of them earnestly in
favor Of similar provision nationally.
in almost every community they have
had experiences with bank failures
without the guaranty law, and these ex-
periences lead most of the level-headed
citizens to want the protection of such
a law in anticipation of other failures
in the future"
Senator Gore probably will remain
in Oklahoma until after the election
and has already arranged an itinerary
for the present week through the First
congressional district. which includes
dates at Saltwater on Oct. 10. Glencoe

MINNIE VICTORSON SCORES IN
BLANCHE WALSH'S OLD ROLE.

Miss Minnie Victorson appeared in
Clyde Fitch's play, 1.-The Straight
Road at Blaney's Theatre last night,
and a large-sized audience ~applauded
her portrayal of Mary OHara, the girl
of the slums, enjoyed the bits of clever
dialogue, laughed at the low comedy
part of Mrs. Flnnerty, became properly
thrilled al the theatrical climax of the
third act and left with the satisfaction
of seeing virtue triumphant at the final
curtain. Miss Vlctorson made a very
real success of the part Miss Blanche
Walsh played last year at the Newark.
Though the play starts out with
genuine dramatic vigor and the illusion
of reality, it weakens considerably
through the sensationalism of the later
acts.
The story is of the redemption of a
life. Two influences act upon Mol
O'Hara for good and for bad. Miss
Ruth Thompson, a wealthy young
woman in charge of a mission house
near Houston street, New York, re-
claims the girl from her low drunken
ways. Douglass Aines, engaged to Miss
Thompson, but with an eye for Marys
physical attractions, attempts to force
his attentions secretly upon her. His
fiancee is blind to his actions, but not
so is Miss Lanner, a friend of both,
who tries to disillusion her, but fails.
When the action begins Mol has just
been run in as the result of a raid in
the saloon of Bill HuDbell. She Is
brought into the mission house by a
policeman, with Others concerned in the
scrap. Born of a bad mother, she has
lived her whole life in the gutter. Miss
Thompson's appeals to lead a better
life fail, but when little crippled
Mickey Finnerty is placed in her arms
and she is left alone with the chaps
tiny little hands around her neck the
good in her rises to the surface.
Eight months later she is presented
