Opposed to Organization.

The organization is not showing any
favoritism to Mr.. Lewis. In fact, 1t is
believed to be doing everything to
bring about the nomination of the
anti-county option candidate who has
the support of the brewery interests.
But Mr.. Lewis is not to be sidetracked.
He has announced that he will spend
his last dollar if necessary to drive
the liquor interest out of politics in
Wisconsin, and, if defeated this fall
for the nomination, will at once reor-
ganize his supporters preliminary to
trying for the nomination two years
hence.
While rich, Captain Lewis is a man
of democratic habits. He stands high
with those who know him best, par
ticularly with his employees. In his
tastes he is quiet and unassuming, and
in his business relations considerate
of his competitors, though aggressive.
Captain Lewis claims he has es-
poused the county option question
from conviction though he is not Pro-
hibitionist He feels that the majority
should have the right to determine
whether saloon should be maintained
within their residential limits. He be-
lieves in the Roosevelt policies and in
a revision of the tariff as outlined by
Senator La Toilette in his COMPRESSION
al speeches.

SENATOR SAYS HE WILL GIVE
FULL DETAILS" IN OKLA
HOMA SCANDAL.
CALLS MCMURRAY DEAL ROTT0N
of 100000 1t Is Claimed
House Committee to Probe
the Contracts.

States senate by Senator T. P. Gore
that he and member of the house of
representatives each had been offered
whereby the Indians of Oklahoma were
to be deprived of 100000 profits due
them through the sale of coal and as
phalt lands in this state, is on here.
On the eve of the investigation Sen
ator Gore said:
81 will tell the full details of the
scheme Matched at Washington to
mulct these Indians out of 100000
through the sale of their lands |
will give names, dates and other cir
cumstances, relative to the bride of
$25, 900 offered to me and to mem
Der of the house of representatives to
remove our opposition to the scheme
which would throw that vast sum of
money into the hands of private at
torneys."
The committee was appointed by the
house of representatives to investigate
What are known as the McMurray con-
tracts with the Chickasaw and Choc-
taw tribes of Indians. 1t is headed by
Chairman Charles H. Burke, of South
| Dakota.
Gore as First Witness.
Senator Gore probably will be the
first witness.
| The charges as made by Senator
| Gore in the senate on June "a, and
which form bases for the present in,
vestigation were:
That J. F. McMurray, of McAlester,
Okla, and his associates had obtained
| 10000 individual contracts with Chick
asaw and Choctaw Indians for the sale
of 100000 acres of coal and asphalt
lands, estimated TO be worth 100000
900 to $160,O00,000
That the profit to McMurray and
his associates was to be 10 per cent of
a sum ranging from 100000 to $16,-
| 100000.
! That New York syndicate already
was prepared to take over the land at
| $30,000,000. That when opposition to
approve the contracts arose in con-
! gresS he (Senator Gore) was ap-
preached and was told that $4,000 or
perhaps $50, 900 would be available to
him and that a like sum would be
available to a member of the house of
representatives if all opposition was
removed.
That if the contracts had been ap-
proved the Indians would have been
! deprived of, 10 per cent of the profits
guaranteed them by the government
and the money would have gone to pay
attorneys fees" for which no materi-
al service had been rendered.
Senator Gore also charged that IAN
| ex-senator from Nebraska and a SEN
ator from Kansas were interested in
| the contracts.
I'm my charges before the senate
did not give any names concerning the
offers of bribery" said Senator Gore.
THAT, and other information, l am
now ready to impart before the com
mittee. When the government made
it's treaties with the Indians it agreed
to sell the land and hand over the full
profit to those Indians.
"It would be absurd for the govern
ment to sanction reduction of 10 per
cent to be handed out in the shape of
attorneys fees 1t is especially alb
surd since no attorneys services are
needed"

Has Spent Much Money.

In politics he is still an unknown
quantity. He came out on a platform
which demands a limitation of cam
paign expenses, but he has surrounded
himself with coterie of high-priced
men who apparently by the judicious
use of money have built up thorough
organization in every voting precinct,
with the result that no candidate is
more spoken of than he. Whether this
lavish expenditure of money will aid
him in getting the nomination is prob
lematical, as Wisconsin voters are bit
ter over the disclosures made in the
investigation into the election of Sen
ator Stephenson. That Mr.. Lewis had
to spend much money was due to the
fact that he was unknown to the vot-
ers of the state when he made the an
nouncement of his candidacy and I'M
der the primary law an unknown can
didate is believed to have absolutely
no show whatever against another who
is known and has the support of the
organization.

LEWIS is TEMPERANCE MAN.
Racine Manufacturer interesting FiS
ure In Campaign.

Racine.-Shall the saloon and the
brewery interests control politics in
Wisconsin, or shall the people of each
county have the right to decide wheth-
er they want liquor sold in their
county?
This question has been injected into
Wisconsin politics by Captain William
Mitchell Lewis of Racine, and forms
the principal plank of his platform in
seeking the Republican nomination for
governor He has succeeded in max
ing county option the paramount issue
of the campaign, and judging from the
fight being waged upon him by the
Liberty league and the German ele-
ment of the state, this question re-
mains the paramount issue, though
politicians, when he first made the
announcement seemed disposed to
treat it humorously
Captain Lewis has not been in poll
tics until now. His ambition previous
10 this time was to be known as sue
ceSsful manufacturer and business
man. Now being at the head of a $10,-
100000 concern, one of the best of its
kind in the United States, and having
at his command wealth almost limit
less, he is fired with the ambition for
public honors. He has always been
one of the most liberal supporters OF
Senator La Toilette, giving freely but
unoStentatiously of his money to fur.

RELEASED

MAY BE HAULED TO THE SUR
FACE TODAY AND DRILLING
AGAIN RESUMED.

J.. T. Minchen, manager of the
State Oil company at
Goldfield received a message by
telephone from Blair last night to
the effect that the AZ inch casing
in which the drill had been stuck
at the bottom of the well for the
past three months, has finally been
loosened and was drawn up about
two and one-half feet yesterday af-
ternoon. The outlook is good that
it may be brought to the surface
today.
The message said that the pres
sure of the gas is very strong and
that oil sands are being forced
into the well at rapid rate, the
material that is brought up by the
bailer showing much stronger in
dications of oil than at any time
heretofore.

Halley's comet, which is caus-

run around in their nighties and

OF it is now interfering with the
duties of the hens or Reno, says
the Gazette. If you don't believe
it listen to this story concerning
County Clerk Fogg and his pet
hen. A few mornings ago County
Clerk Fogg, DOMINIC a bath robe,
went out into the back yard of his
home about 8 O'Clock to see Hal
ley's comet. When he got out
there he was puzzled to see his
pet hen running around in the
yard cackling and looking into the
heavens. He watched the hen
for few minutes and then went
into the house just as the hen re-
tired to the hen house. Later than
morning Mr.. Fogg went into the
hen roost and found in his pet
hens private nest an egg with a
long tail on it. 1t was a comet
egg and the hen. it is believed
was out in the yard to get good
look at the comet before laying
this speciment for her master.

NEVADA Will
GET THE coin
RETURNED THAT WAS ADVANC-
ED DURING CIVIL AND
INDIAN WARS

Governor Dickerson received a
letter from the United States treas
ury department yesterday stating
that decision favorable to the
state of Nevada had been rendered
by the department in the civil and
Indian war claims that have been
held in allegiance for the past de-
cade and that an appropriation of
$12,2S3O4 would be made by con-
gress to reimburse this state for
the money paid out in interest on
the original debt in mastering and
in equipping troops at the time of
the rebellion and the trouble with
the Indians.
The claim Of Nevada has been
before the different departments at
Washington for many years past.
Nevada spent a great deal of money
at the time of the civil war in
securing troops and equipping them
for the front and the greater part
of the claims were never paid.
At nearly every session of the Ma
tional congress the matter has
been brought up and several APP
preparations have been made for
reimbursing the state.
At the time this money was eX-
pended the state had to borrow
and this last claim is for interest
that was paid by this state on the
bonds that were issued.
