Shawnee, Okla, Jan. 1.-The meet
ing Of the republican editors held at
the Chrisney hall the other day, did
not produce the results that were ex.
pected.
As matter of fact the only result
perceptible was the increased en-
phasis placed upon the split that has
been for some time evident in the
ranks OF the republicans.
The meeting was called, apparently
for the purpose of effecting an organ
ization of the republican editors Of
the state and for bringing more har-
monIous feelings among the republi-
can press. OF the perhaps one hun
dred republican editors in Oklahoma
only twenty-nine were present. and
among them anything but harmony
prevailed.
OF the republican leaders. Acting
Chairman Harris and Secretary Her
bert House of the state committee.
Corb Sarchet, manager Of the republi-
can press bureau, and G. M. Cade Of
Shawnee Republican national COM
mitteeman, were present; cade, how
ever, slipped out early and took no
part In the proceedings. Editor 0mer
X. Benedict of the Oklahoma City
Times was not present, but he sent
representative. G. X. Reinmiller,
who added gaiety to the situation by
stating that he had in bis possession
letters from a majority OF the mems
bers of the state committee insisting
that a meeting Of the committee be
called at once irrespective of the ac-
ton or desires of the officers. This
forced Acting Chairman Harris into
action, who shouted that Chairman
Norris is at present detained by some
pressing business in Nebraska, but
that he will be in Oklahoma in about
ten days, and that meeting Of the
committee can be expected about that
time.
Harris stated that In the event OF
the resignation of Chairman Norris.
which will probably occur upon his re-
turn to Oklahoma, he will be a candi-
date for the craftsmanship to succeed
Norris.
The real fireworks Of the meeting
began when Everett Purcell, post
master at Enid. presented resolutions

endorsing Taft. Cannon, the tariff and
the tariff record Of congressman Nc
CURE, Morgan and Creager. The ad-
option Of this resolution was bitterly
opposed and was fought through al
most the entire session which lasted
from s D. m. unit a. m. in the morn
ing. The editors present were all will
ing to stand for Taft and the general
policies of his administration. but
friends of some of the candidates for
nomination in opposition to the con-
gressmen named insisted that these
men should not be given the advan-
tage of a personal endorsement.
Despite the opposition, the resolu-
tions were railroaded through and
crammed down the necks Of the min
ority by narrow majority. The gen.
eral opinion of the editors, after the
meeting adjourned was that the press
of the state was put into a hole SO far
as 1t was impossible for majority OF
twenty.nine members present to COM
NIT the others who were not present,
and that far more evil was likely to
result from forcing, through such a
resolution in the face Of the dividend
sentiment throughout the state than
would have been done II no resolu-
ton whatever had been passed.
Cannonism is the issue upon which
the republicans have split and there
is no mistake that in Oklahoma they
have split. The evident intent of the
present state organization combined
with the present representatives in
congress to absolutely rule the party
is certain to further intensity the feel
ing of dissatisfaction among the large
majority of republicans in this state
who believe that the time has come
when the republican party should re-
turn to the principles of Lincoln.
Another striking evidence of dis
organization prevailing among the re-
publicans is the fact that majority
OF the members of the state commit
tee have gathered up sufficient cour-
age to ride rough-shod over the officers
and party leaders, If necessary in or
der that the will of the rank and file
may be fulfilled. Unless all signs fail,
there are interesting "doings" in store
in the ranks of the G. 0. P. between
now and next election.

A BLANKET
BALLOT FOR
The VOTERS
ABOUT THIRTY MEASURES WILL
BE ON THE BALLOT BESIDES
THE NAMES OF THE CANDI-
DATEs--VOTERs HAVE A BIG
JOB COMING

Just how lon gthe ballot will be
at the next general election in Ore
gon and Just how many measures
Will be submitted to the people for
decision by ballot is still largely a
matter Of conjecture, but enough
actual proposals have been received
at the capitol to show that they will
go far ahead Of two years ago.
Constitution tinkering will come
in for good share Of consideration
on November 8 and just how many
isw-making measures no one is yet
able TO even guess upon.
Railroads and Taxation.
To begin with, there are the six
measures submitted by the last leg
isIature. Two of these are proposed
constitutional amendments relative
to taxation and another provides for
state-aided railroads. They were
passed by the legislature largely be-
cause Of pressure brought to bear by
the lobbying committee Of the State
Grange. They are aimed at the pres
ent system of taxation, their prime
object being to impose an additional
tax upon franchises and other in
tangible properties
The proposed railroad amendment
was passed by the legislature and
submitted to the people through the
Influence of the commercial bodies
of Portland, the State Grange and
high potentates of the Peoples Pro-
gressive Government League.
Single District Plan.
Another Constitutional amendment
proposed by the legislature contains
the single district plan for represen-
tation in the senate and house.
Under this plan, Multnomah, Mar
ion, Umatilla, Lane, Linn. and other
thickly populated counties having
more than one senator or representa-
tive Will be divided into senatorial
and representative districts. This
proposed plan will do away with pro-
portional representation and 1t is
therefore considered certain that 1t
will be bitterly opposed by Mr.. U'Ren
and his followers.
Legislature Submits Two Bills.
In addition to these proposed con-
stitutional amendments, the legisla-
ture submitted two bills-the NC
Kinley bill, providing for the loca-
tion Of a branch insane asylum in
Baker, Umatllla or Union counties,
and the Buchanan bill authorizing a
constitutional convention for the
purpose Of making a general revision
Of the constitution of the state.

Chicago, June 3.-"If everything

today.
The battler, just back from Wash
ington, where he has taken up the
new role of envoy is the latest prize

if the fight is straight.
Nelson will leave soon for New

cult judge In Baker county to $4,000
year. The former measure will
not be voted upon, for the reason
that the secretary Of state refused
to accept and file the referendum
petition upon the ground that the
legislature had declared an emerg-
ency. Those who circulated the pc
titions calling for a referendum vote
on this measure threatened at one
time to bring mandamus proceed
ings against the secretary of state in
the hope Of compelling him to ac-
cept the retitions, but no such ac-
ton has yet been taken. It is as
serted by those who opposed the
measure that the emergency clause
is defective, although Judge w. l..
Bradshaw, Il The Dallcs, held to the
contrary when the bill was attacked
in the circuit court Of Multnomah
county about year ago.
The total number Of constitutional
amendments and bills submitted by
the legislature and measures referred
by referendum petition is seven.
Numerous County Schemes.
The initiative, however, will fur
nish a still larger crop of proposed
amendments and laws. Petitions are
already on file calling for a vote on
woman suffrage and for the creation
of the county of Nesmith out of
Southern Lane and northern Douglas
counties. Petitions are in circulation
calling for the creation of Umpqua
county out of the western ends of
the same counties and the residents
of Drain and the surrounding coun-
try have started movement to
create the county of Williams, whose
proposed area overlaps the territory
embraced in the proposed limits Of
both Nesmith and Umpqua.
It is said that the Williams county
proposal is being advanced to con-
fuse the voters and thereby cause an
adverse vote upon the other pro-
posed counties Residents of the
corner of Umatilla
county have started campaign for
the creation of Orchard county, with
Milton as the county seat. Petitions
calling for vote upon this question
are already in circulation in eastern
Oregon. Residents of the eastern
portion of Harney and the western
part of Malheur counties have un-
dertaken a movement for the crea-
tion Of Otis county, with Drewsey as
The county seat.
One or two other communities in
eastern Oregon have dreams of coun-
.y-seat advantages and it is possible
hat the voters Of the state will be
called upon to create no less than
seven additional counties at the
November election.
Organized Labor Gets Busy.
The forces of organized labor are
'usy with their petitions for the en-
'loyers liability bill which. was
Iilled in the senate at the last ses-
ion of the legislature. Organized
abor will also present a constitu-
ional amendment abolishing poll
axes and otherwise changing the
ystem of taxation now in vogue.
Many Temperance Measures
Foes of the liquor traffic will soon
ile a petition for a constitutional
mendment prohibiting the sale of
Il forms of malt spirituous and
