TEODY'S ANALYSIS
In Commenting on Principles Laid
Down in Kansas Speech by Roose-
welt, Insineerity is Shown.

Lawton, Okla, Sept. 15.-In an ad-
dress at the Southwestern state fair
here yesterday afternoon Governor c..
n. Haskell delivered what he termed
an Analysis of the New Colonel
Roosevelt" He paid particular atten-
ton to Muskogee town lot cases and
his own removal from the democratic
national committee, both of which he
said originated in political moves on
the part of Roosevelt for persecution
only
Commenting on the principles an
nounced by Roosevelt in his Kansas
City speech the governor endeayored
to show the former president insin-
cere and said he has suffered an en-
tire change of thought since his pres
id ntial term expired. OF Roosevelt's
comment on the United States SUI
preme court, he said:
1T is not building for the welfare Of
our country when leaders of public
thought breed lack of respect or en-
courage contempt for our great insti-
tutions."
He said Roosevelt had stopped pros
ecutions before the interstate com
merce commission to protect Paul Nor
ton. He asserted that H. NJ. Daugher-
ty, a republican lawyer of Columbus,
was indicted with him in the town lot
cases, but prosecution was stopped
by Roosevelt because Daugherty was
prominent in the party. Closing, the
governor said:
Where he asserts his principles to
be clean, impartial and of the square
deal nature, other facts heretofore
related show the certainty of his
change of policy in those particulars.

The annual meeting Of the Craig

this afternoon. At this meeting the
officers for the ensuing year viii be
selected. The present officers are
Frank Franklin, president, and Mrs.
Mae White, secretary. Until now an
effort has been made to keep the cleo
ton of officers out of politics. but d
letter from the state chairman of the
republicans. asking that only re-
publican be elected delegate to the
meeting at Saltwater next August,
when two members OF the state board
or agriculture are chosen, has caused
the democrats to rise up in their
might and it is not improbable that
the element of politics will be in evil
dence at the meeting this afternoon,
when the matter of choosing the dele.
gate comes up.
In addition to the election of officers
this afternoon, there will be lectures
on domestic science and upon every
phase Of agriculture. There are sev.
eral state officers of the farmers in.
stitute present and they will lecture
upon their various topics. Miss Irma

nestle science will lecture at O'Clock
this afternoon. The others of the
party Of state officers who are here
are ex-president of the state institute
J. c. Elliott, G. II. Kinds, member Of
the state board Of agriculture from this
district and J. S Murray. of Guthrie

This failure Of the committee to

ent that no decision could be looked
for practically for several months.
This situation is said to have con-
vinced Ballinger that his position, in
spite of the continued support of the
president, has become untenabla. I'm

in thus speeding his return is believed
to be to counsel with his immediate
subordinates and gain their assistance
in preparing for the demand upon the
cabinet for a show down."

OF any act on his part for which he
should be condemned and has deter

colleagues to be his judges. If they
concur in the view at present attrib

ed secretary shall be sustained as an
innocent and prosecuted man, he will
retain the position; if they Fail to

That is Ballinger's position, it was

that he would retire under FIRE, .

CANNON WINS By
SMALL MAJORITY
Early Returns From Primaries In Hi
nos Indicate That Insurgents
Have Won in That State.

Chicago, ILL.,. Sept. 16.-The renom-
ination of Speaker Joe G. Cannon by
reduced plurality, and a neck and
neck race being given Congressman
George Foss by his progressive op-
ponent, indicated the early returns
features of Thursdays primaries in
Illinois.
The vote cast in the congressional
districts in Cook county (Chicago)
was remarkably light, not more than
quarter of the vote of the registra-
ton books. Down state the vote was
much heavier
Early returns indicated the renom-
ination of Lee O'Neill Browne to the
state house of representatives, and
also that E. G. Churtleff, republican
speaker of the house, against whom a
determined faetional fight had been
waged. Browne was recently acquitted
of the charge of having bribed State
Representative Stone to vote for Will
liam Lorimer for United States sena-
tor.
Early returns also indicated the
nomination of Ira g. Copley by the
republicans of the Eleventh congress
sional district over George w. Conn,
Jr. This is not conceded by the
friends of Conn who claim the dis
trict by 300 against Copley's claim of
1000 plurality. The fight in this dis
trict has been one of the fercest in
the state. Conn said he was being
backed by the so-called stand-patters
element, while his opponent declared
himself an out and out progressive.
The closeness of the fight in the
Tenth district came as surprise to
most students of the campaign. While
Foss, chairman of the committee on
naval affairs, always voted with the
regulars at Washington, it was stated
that in the campaign speeches some
months ago he informed Speaker Can
non that he felt free to reserve his
judgment as how he should vote in the
next speakership. G. P. Englehart
campained on an unmistakable pro-
gressive platform. He attacked the
present congressman on his record on
the tariff and as supporter of the
Cannon rules. Fortysthree precincts
out of LAT in the district gave England
1882 votes against 1.O41 for Foss.
The defeat of H. S. Boutell. after
many years in congress, by F. B.
Gansbergen, progressive, showed lit
tie surprise locally. The regular re-
publican organization refused to in
dorse Boutell on the grounds that his
record as standpatter would insure
democratic success if nominated
Gansbergen ran about 1000 ahead of
him, indicating the sentiment of the
district.
Arthur West, also a progressive
running almost alone, polled more
than 11,000 votes.

KANSAS BANKER
FEARS VIOLENCE
Jury Acquits Man Who Killed Dick
Terry at Tshlequah During the
Cherokee Payment.

Muskogee. Okla, Sept II. - Some
where between MuskOgee and Table
ouah. cash L. Pratt, a banker, escort.
ed By two heavily armed officers Of
Cherokee county, Is driving as fast
as two good horses can carry him TO
this city to escape possible violence
at the hands Of friends Of Dick Terry,
who was shot and killed by Pratt last
June.
Pratt was acquitted by jury Fri
day morning at 2:3O. The jury had
been out since Thursday afternoon.
Pratt pleaded self-defense, and wit
ness was produced who swore that he
had taken a gun of Terry Immediately
after he was SHOT by Pratt The jury
believed that Terry had this gun on
him when he approached Pratt, whom,
It is alleged, he had sworn to kill.
The killing occurred in the rear OF
the council house at Tahlequah early
one morning during the Cherokee pay
ment. June 30. Pratt was one OF the
bankers who was at the payment col
Iecting accounts. He had had trouble
over money matters with Terry be-
fore, and stated that he believed Terry
intended to kill him. So when Terry
approached the booth where Pratt was
that morning, the latter drew a gun
and shot Terry.
The courts refused TO admit Pratt
to bail. He remained in the Table
quah Jail The murder was one that
stirred the Cherokee nation as has
seldom been done since the days OF
the feud fights Of the old Cherokee
factionists.
Terry, the man who was killed had
for many years been deputy mar.
shal under the old federal regime. and
had many friends all over the Chero-
kee nation. Pratt came to Oklahoma
from Arkansas. and was of one of the
best families OF that state. He had
stood well in business circles and had
a host of friends. Murray Haskell,
of Muskogee. a son Of Governor Has
kell. was one OF the witnesses who
testified to Pratt's good character.
Haskell was present during the entire
trial.
The case went to the jury last night
about O'Clock At 2:30 this morning
the jury said it was ready to report.
The verdict was an acquittal. The de-
fendant was represented by Hastings
and King, Of Tahlequah, and Judge E.
G. Mitchell, OF Harrison, Ark. The
prosecution was represented by County
Attorney J. l. Courtney and Judge
keenan,.
Terry's father and two brothers, of
Utah, were In Tahlequah to attend the
trial, and there were many OF Terry's
friends there this morning when the
verdict OF the jury became known.
There were rumors Of trouble and yio-
lenee to Pratt when he should be re-
leased from jail, and as precaution
the authorities thought 1t best that
Pratt should be spirited out Of town
in order to avoid a clash, should he
and the Terrys meet So a team was
secured and Pratt, accompanied by
two officers, left Tahlequah Friday
morning overland. thinking it safer
