HUNTING LICENSE ONLY
MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION

A man, whose only means of identi-
fication was a hunting license with
the name Deshon on it, was run over
and killed by the Frisco fast mail
train, near Wyandotte this forenoon.
AS the fast mail rounded a curve
at high speed, about two miles east
of Wyandotte, the man was seen on
the tracks, but before the engineer
could act, the engine had struck the
unfortunate man. The train was
brought to a stop as soon as possible,
and backed up to the scene of the ac-
cident. The man was picked up, and
the only thing found in his pockets
was the hunting license. He was
brought to Alton and turned over to
the Frisco authorities at that place.

URGES ROOSEVELT
TO Be CANDIDATE
Would Not Be Better Than Cannon,
oklahoman Says, But West Has
Confidence in Him.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 26.-The sur.
prising declaration that if Former
President Theodore Roosevelt is elect
ed to congress and becomes a candi-
date for speaker of the next house
that he viii support him for that posi-
tion is made by Congressman Bird S.
Mcclure, stand-pat republican con-
gresham from the First Oklahoma
district, in letter sent to a republican
supporter here, received Tuesday.
''In the event that Roosevelt should
run and be elected" said Mcclure, Il
should vote for him for speaker, not
that he would make any better man
for the place than Speaker Cannon
and not that he would make any bet
ter man for the place than a dozen
others whom / could mention, but
President Roosevelt is very popu-
lar and the western people have con.
fidence in him, and | believe ma
jority of the republicans III my dis
trict would prefer that | should vote
for him in preference to any other
man.
And then, again, his election to the
speakership would demonstrate to the
country that no man can be speaker
of the house of representatives and en-
force rules which we must necessarily
have for controlling four hundred men
without being assailed. Every fellow
who fails in congress complains first
Of the speaker, because he could have
done, so he says, so many things If it
had not been for the speaker, and
when President Roosevelt or any 9TH
er man has been speaker as long as
Uncle Joe Cannon every demagogue
and every man who failed to do his
duty to his constituents would be com
planning and blaming the speaker"
Congressman MCGUIRE states that all
the talk about the speaker of the next
house is premature, as no one knows
who will compose the membership of
the next house He declares, however,
that whoever the republican causus
agrees upon for speaker, he will vote
for the caucus choice.

mission.
Forty-six thousand enrolled Indians

You might say we do not need this

little to the north or south of us,
what does that mean? Vinita will re-
