Defends SaIome Dances.

San Antonio Tex, June 25.-Rabbi
Samuel Marks of this city is of the
opinion that in the matter of artistic
Salome dancing only the eye of the
evil sees evil. Rabbi Marks attended
one of the performances and then
made the statement that there was
nothing in the dance to which any
healthy and clean-minded man could
object. Notwithstanding the protests
of holier-than-thou organizations, the
police authorities do not intend to in
terfere with the gyrations of Salome
for the reason that there is nothing
gross or vulgar in them.

Judge Russell is an orator. The
occasion gave him an opportunity
to display his splendid talents, and
never before in the history of pub

spirit of Justice and tolerance, Judge

OF the most enduring and memorable
forensic efforts in the history of this
state Time and time again as with
telling effect some climax was reach

brought out a demonstration of un-
usual force from those who We're
present, particularly from the old
veterans who, with tears streaming
down their cheeks, gave way to the
emotions aroused by the eloquent
words of the speaker.
1t was not only in effect a trtb-
ute to the old soldier but it was a
personal triumph for Judge Russell.

the years roll around, as one of the
happy events of his life
After Judge Russell had concluded
his address, the entire audience
joined in singing that soul inspiring
anthem, MY Country 'Tis of Thee"
and young and old alike contributed
their voices to give volume and mel

Two thousand people inspired by
a sense of patriotism, a love of
country, a devotion to its institutions
and its purposes, gave emphatic
voice to the thought embodied in the
old time anthem and as the echoes
reverberated through the air. one
could not but feel that after all
these great American people are the
most wonderful products of the

NEGRO IS AFTER
jim HARRIS JOB
REPUBLICAN STATE CHAIRMAN
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION FROM
WAGNER NEGROES.

Oklahoma City, June 25.-Jim Har
ris. chairman of the republican state
central committee, is much embarraSs
ed and Inundated because II. Il
Storm, negro, of Wagner, has filed
for representative from Wagner
county against the will of the republi
can boss 1t is said Harris went tC
Storm personally and asked him not
to get into the race for representative
fearing that it would do a great dea,
of harm to the party.
Aside from Storm, there are three
other negroes filed for jobs in the
lower house A. c. Hamlin of Logan
county, who was a member of the
last legislature; Arch Jones of Mus
kogee county and G. A. Garrett OF
Okfuskee county. Garretts home IS in
Boley, the noted negro town of eastern
Oklahoma.
1t is said the negroes OF Boley de-
clare that they are going to elect Gar
rett and claim he is one of the most
intelligent negroes in the state. The
negroes have filed their petitions with
Secretary VIII Linn of the state elec-
tion board Their names appear upon
the ballot the same as white. there
being no indications showing their
color.
Republicans from all sections of
the state are greatly stirred up over
the fact that the negroes would not
listen to advice and filed in the face
of numerous protests from leading
republicans. 1t is contended by lead
ing republicans that the negroes will
drive away white voters from the re
publican ranks.
All four of the counties were ne
groes have filed for representatives are
thickly inhabited by negroes. The
democrats in Wagner are extremely
anxious that the grandfather clause
be voted upon at the general election.
Wagner is the home of Chairman
Harris of the republican state central
committee, and it Is said that he could
easily poll all the negro votes II 1t
were not that negro now asks a seat
in the state legislature.
Some members of the republican
party are determined to oust the ne
groes from the state ticket, Will . 9th
ers contend that they have a right,
and should get out and make haru
campaign for the offices they are seek
ing. 1t may be that on account of the
negroes filing it will cause a split in
the republican ranks. Republicans
from the west and southwestern sec
tions of the state are strongest against
negroes names being placed upon the
official ballot.
The outcome of the situation is be-
ing watched with interest.
