NICK LONGWORTR FOLLOWS
IN FOOTSTEPS OF TEDDY

Cincinnati, O., Nov. Al speak to
you tonight as a progressive republi-
can. 1t may be unfortunate, perhaps.
that any member of the party should
feel called upon to explain or qualify
his republicanism. but it has become
necessary to distinguish between pro-
gression and reaction. avow myself
as a progressive. It is has become
necessary to stand by or repudiate
the general policies which distinguish
ed the past and present administfa-
tions, stand by them"
These were the words that consti-
tuted the opening declaration in an
address by Representative Longworth
one of the speakers at a rally here last
night at which Warren G. Harding. the
republican nominee for governor
spoke. Longworth declared that in
his opinion. to follow the leaders Of
the so-called reactlonaYies Is to walk
into and invite disaster

Contract Entered Into Tuesday For
Construction Of Factory of Com
mon Sense Harrow Co.

The Vinita Implement Manufacturing
company is receiving so many orders
for their Common Sense harrow from
their agencies already established in
the state of Oklahoma, that it has de.
cided to build factory at once, so as
to supply the growing demand for the
popular farm implement.
AT meeting Of the stockholders
held yesterday at F. M. Lewis Office,
the company entered into contract
with harrow manufacturer at Spring
field, Mo-, to move his machinery to
Vinita, and come here and take charge
of the factory. Ten men will be en-
ployed at first. but later concrete
building 60x12O feet will be erected
to meet the growing demands of the
business.
The Vinita Implement Manufacture
ing company has purchased for $12,-
900 cash, the exclusive right to man
ufacture and sell this harrow in the
state of Oklahoma From orders al
ready received for spring delivery, the
indications are that the business of
this company will assume proportions
beyond the expectations of the local
men who purchased the state rightl
and it is to take care of this business
properly that the action of the com
pany taken yesterday was prompted.
This assures another factory for Vim
ita and is another step in making Vim.

of the Neosho, Spring and Grand rivers
from the state of Oklahoma for the
purpose Of taking out pearls and mus
sci shells. Assistant Attorney General
q. G. Spilman, to whom the application
was made has advised him that the
application should be made to the com
missioners Of the land Office. who have
control of all state lands. as it would
depend entirely upon them as to
whether such lease should be made,
if the states title were shown.
Attorneys for Ginder have presented
a brief containing decisions of the
United States supreme court to the ef-
feet that the state owns the bed of
navigable streams in the absence of
any state law granting it to the ri
parian owners; also that the naviga-
bility Of stream may be shown by

RUMORS OF STRIFE
PROVE UNFOUNDED
State Republican Machine Candidates
HopeIessIy acknowledgements
tion Within Party Ranks.

Rumors Of strife, disorganization,
selling out" trading off" and trou-
ole, emanate from republican head
quarters during this, the last week OF
the campaign.
In an effort to save the backbone OF
the party in the state, republican lead
ers some months ago assemblies the
remanents of former federal Office
holders, and their misguided friends,
selected a ticket to put in the field,
headed same ticket with man who
had the money and started campaign
ing. All went well for time, but
when it was seen to be impossible to
elect any state officers, If the leaders
gave their continual support to the
entire ticket, when these leaders got
their heads together in an effort to
sell out" some of the candidates in
the interest Of others then trouble
brewed fast.
Reports Of McNeal, republican can
didate for governor, planning to sell
out Bird Mcclure, and yica versa, of
Mcclure seeking to throw the entire
ticket down and seize the honors OF
the party for himself and Harris alone,
and OF other trading and trouble, like
Banuuo's ghost, will not down.
Friends of Creager, republican can
didate for congress, from the third,
are getting sore, because of what they
say is plan to sell Creager out. Jeal-
ousy enters into the game, and Crea-
ger, Morgan and Mcclure are watch
ing one another, with looks which
plainly show they expect treachery.
Eliminating these candidates, the re-
publican ticket is dead one, in so
far as any effort is being made to elect
it. Disorganization entered early into
republican ranks Knowledge that
they could not win aided, and the re
publican state nominees, excepting Nc
Guire, McNeal, Morgan and Creager,
have practically quit the game These
are hanging on, quarrelling, and UNI
settled among themselves.
Republicans have waged the hard
est fight on. the head of the democratic
ticket. McNeal and railroads have
spent money plentifully, and have at
tempted to undermine the strength Of
Hon. Lee Cruce, democratic nominee
for governor, by every manner Of cam
paign trick, acquired by McNeal in ter
ritorial days, when he was one of the
federal patronage boys.
Under this attack and out Of this
dirty fight, Mr.. Cruce has come with
the promise of leading the democratic
ticket by 10000 votes, and of being
elected by $4,000 majority
Never before in It's history and prob
ably not for years to come will the
state of Oklahoma administer such a
drubbing to republican machine or
ganization," as the voters will give il
next Tuesday. There is hope for re
publican nominees for state offices
and the crumbling shell of an organic
alton, will not even be left when the
second general state election in Okla
homa is over.

GARRETT OUT Of
K|CKAPO0 CASE
Commissioner Tibbets sustalus Demur-
rer Saying Prosecution Had Failed
to Make Out Case Of Forgery.

( Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 2. - United
States Commissioner D. Nj. Tibbetts
yesterday sustained a demurrer to the
evidence of the government so far as
it affects John Garrett of Oklahoma
City one of the five defendants in the
Mexican extradition cases, ard order
ed the discharge of Garrett. This re-
lieves Garrett of the possibility Of be-
ing extradited to Mexico for trial on
the charge of forgery of a deed, lodg-
ed against him by the Mexican gov
ernment.
Commissioner Tibbetts in sustaining
the demurrer stated that the prosecu-
tion had failed to make out probable
case Of forgery against Garrett or to
show that he had any knowledge of the
transaction charged at the time 1t oc-
Cured and that If, at any time, Gar
rett had any knowledge Of the trans.
action it was after the alleged forgery
of the deed occurred.
Garrett was discharged from the
case upon motion Of his attorney, G. G.
Horner Of Guthrie, which was made at
the beginning OF the trial. Horner con-
tended at that time that the govern
ment had no case against Garrett, but
that If he was held for trial, his case
should be segregated from that Of the
other defendants. as it related to dis
tinct and separate transactions.
Commissioner Tibbetts ruled at that
time that Garrett's case could be
heard in connection with the main
case without preiudicing his rights
and stated that be would pass upon
the motion for dismissal Of Garrett af.
ter the government had introduced all
its testimony
The prosecution virtually rested its
case today and the motion was re-
newed. Before Horner entered upon
his argument, Commissioner Tibbetts
stated that from the evidence he was
inclined to believe that Garrett should
mot be held. but asked Horner and
Prosecuting Attorney Kearful to pre-
sent the argument on both sides of the
matter. Tho substance of Horner's
argument was that the governments
own evidence. as given by George Kish-
meton, Indian Interpreter and ]. r.
Jacobs. proved that Garrett was not
present when the alleged forgery was
committed and that he had no knowl-
edge of it until after his arrest.
Prosecutor Kearful admitted that the
evidence against Garrett was not suf-
ficient to convict him before a jury
but stated that il the evidence showed
a guilty knowledge Of the general ma
ture Of the methods OF taking the al
legged forged deed he could be held on
showing OF probable guilt. The dis
charge of Garrett has no bearing upon
the status Of the case against the other
defendants. who are charged with for
gerry of entirely different deeds and
with forgery Of indians names to-
checks.
An adjournment of the hearing was
taken until Friday when the defense
will begin its case.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov 2.--Holding that
it has no jurisdiction to grant relief
from the operations of the so-called

the Oklahoma constitution. the United
States circuit court late Tuesday dis
missed the application of Daniei Sims,
an aged negro and former slave, who
asked writ of injunction that would
permit him and other negroes to vote
in the general election November s.
Sims named P. r.. Finch, local cleo
tion official, as defendant, against
whom the injunction would act and his
attorneys asked also that the grand
father clause amendment be declared
in conflict with the constitutions of
the United States and the state of Ok
lahoma. The court made the follow.
ing order in dismissing the case:
1T is ordered that application for
the interlocutory injunction be and
the same is hereby denied, not on the
ground that the amendment is not vio-
ative of the constitution of the United
States, but on the sole ground that
although the complaint may have a
remedy at law in this court for the de-
privation Of his right to vote, this
court has no jurisdiction in equity to
grant him the relief he seeks from the
Threatened deprivation of that right,
