Court is the president Of the City Democ.
racy, and while most OF its membership
is made up OF followers Of William r.
Hea rse, there are many old time Tam
m anyites on the rolls. Secretary Gillorsn
handed out this statement for the City
Democracy:
The City Democracy appeals to the State
committee Of the Democratic party in the
state. now In session. for relief from the
petty personal squabblIng Of Charles r.
Murphy and William J. Conners.
The Democrats Of the city OF New York
are more desirous for tho retirement Of
Charles v. Murphy and the interests In Tam
many Hall represented by him thar ttsy,
are concerned In the deposinG OF etats
Chairman Conners. except on charges
which might appeal TO Democrats a con-
vincinE.
We further appeal for harmony within the
party; but harmony In the city Of New York
cannot be had except through an honest
declaration for primary reforms culmlnating
In legislation insuring Il specifically, and
the consequent elimination OF the Murphy
control Of the Democratic organization In
the city. p3
We cousIder h would be fatal mIsfortune
to the party to place Murphy or any ally
from upstate named by him st the head Of
the state committee. The present de-
InoraIizsd condition Of the party In the city
OF New York is greater than At any time IN
it's history. and tho extension OF the infuS
ences Responsible for this. through gaining
control Of other Democratic organizations.
whould surely not contribute TO harmony
and eficlency. but would Inevitably bring
disruption and ruin on the Democratic
party In the state.

supreme court to the alternative writ,
which does not agree with the law of
the case as the attorney general views
it, and that those attorneys had been
employed without his knowledge.
This develops another instance in
which an attempt has been made to
supplant the attorney general in cases
in which it is his duty to represant
state officers. 1t was learned today
that after the attorney general had
filed his answer on behalf o. Seere-
tary of State Cross, attorneys con-
nected with the attorney generals Of
fee were employed, 1t is said. by the
anti-saloon league, to represent Cross,
and these attorneys filed a second an
.swer in the case.

Code Commissions Work
Causes Warm Argument

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 1S.-A riotous
time was had in the house of represen-
tatiyes Thursday during consideration
of the bill by Senator Thomas appro-
priating s16,60O to complete the codi-
fication of the Oklahoma statutes. Rep
resentatiyes Terral of Kiowa and
Ewell of Bryan severely criticised the
code commission, Mr.. Ewell saying
the code commission is shame and a
disgrace to the state of Oklahoma. .
Representative Durant Of Bryan diff
cred from his colleague, Mr.. Ewell,
and there was sharp, angry and per-
sonal debate between the two that
threatened to terminate in physical
hostilities for a time The climax
to the tumultuous argument came
when the chairman of the committee
of the whole. Representative Bryan of
Pottawatomie, attempted TO make Mr.
Ewell take his seat, declaring him out
Of order Mr.. Ewell continued talk
ing. and Mr. Bryan, in the chair, tried
to drown his remarks by hammering
with his gavel on the top of the
speakers desk. Mr.. Ewell would not
cease talking, and Mr.. Bryan continu-
ed his thnnderous hammering Of the
desk, until the whole house was in
a furious uproar The extraordinary
scene continued for several minutes.
The senators began deserting their
work to see what was the matter, and
the house chamber was soon crowded
with spectators, which increased the
confusion. The speaker pro TEN of the
house, Representative Harrison of
Pittsburg. finally stepped up on the
speakers stand, checked Mr. Bryan's
hammering and stopped Mr.. Ewell's re-
marks, none Of which, by the way, had
been heard.
During the argument on the bill Mr..
Terral said that the alleged code pre-
pared by the chairman and secretary
of the code commission, Judges Harris
and Day. is not complete enough, not
accurate enough and not worthy
enough to be adopted in any way" He

SAVE THE CREDIT SLIP.

The following circular letter is be-
ing sent out by the corporation COM
mission and contains good advice:
If you advanced money to improve
the street in front of your home or
to build a bridge between your farm
and your market, or to secure any 9TH
er material improvement, with good
prospect that the county or city or
state would at some future time reim-
burse you provided you had evidence
Of the amount advanced, doubtless you
would preserve the evidence Of your
expenditure
This is your position in the matter
of payment of three cents a mile rail-
way fare now, as compared with the
two-cent fare. except that you are not
getting anything for the additional ex-
penditure.
The railroads profiting by the fed
eral injunction against the corporation
commission are issuing receipts for
fare on the three cent basis, and IL the
corporation commission wins the fight
in the court of last record these re-
eeipts will be worth good cold cash to
you.
OF course, the money you now have
to pay in higher passenger fare is
small in comparison with that you pay
in higher freight You pay higher pas
senger fare only when you ride on a
train, and you pay higher freight
every time you buy pound of merch-
andise or eat meal But you may
get part Of the excess passenger fare
back.
Save your receipts and they may be
worth something TO you in the future.
They will be good for cash if the in
junction by Judge Hook is dissolved
in the final determination of the case.

WEST ASKS TO WITHDRAW
AS CROSS ATTORNEY

Guthrie. Okla. Mar 19.-After DIS
covering that an attempt had been
made to supplant him by the employ
ment of other attorneys. Attorney
General West filed application IN the
supreme court Friday asking permis
sion to withdraw as attorney for Sec.
retary of State Cross from the case in
which an alternative writ of manda-
mus has been obtained against Cross
in the supreme court by the local op-
ton petitioners requiring him to show
cause why he should not pass on the
suficiency of the petitions. The at
torney general asks permission to
withdraw on the ground that private
attorneys have filed an answer in the

articles appearing in this paper setting
forth the facts with reference to its
plant and its business in this city. A
list Of the stockholders, and a
statement of the dividends appeared
in the first and will be followed up
with other information for the public.
The company is asking for a new
franchise for a term of 81 years, the
same to be voted on at the regular
spring election on April 5th. The mat.
ter is so important that every citizen
should study the question carefully so
as to be able to vote intelligently
when the time comes.

ANOTHER GOOD SERVICE AT
REVIVAL LAST NIGHT

The people came promptly and en-
tered into every part Of the service
with an enthusiasm good to see. Dur
ing the song services Bro. Phillips
asked fer bible quotations and many
gave them readily. The Sunshine
choir is an attractive feature each
evening, and adds much to the song
service. Mrs. Lane of Monet. Mo, is
delighting the people with her sweet
solos each evening. and it is. indeed,
a happy coincidence that she should
have come to Vinita just at this time
to visit friends. and to her surprise
meet with Bro and Mrs. Phillips, with
whom she has been associated before
in revival work in Missouri. Bro.
Phillips sang Bought With Price, "
as a solo, at the service last night, and
it was a message which reached the
hearts of men and women as they sat
and listened to the sweet old story" /"
which never grows old.
BRO. Cantrell preached a strong ser
.hon from the text Rev. $3.50 Behold
| stand at the door and knock; if any
man hear my voice and open the door,
| will come into him and will sup with
him and he with me-"
None who hear these earnest ap-
'peals from this man of God, can but

feel that his heart goes out in a yearn-
ing tenderness for every unsaved man
and woman in Vinita.
Bro. Cantrell is an untiring worker
and whatsoever his hands find to do
he doeth it with his nigh" and Vim
ita shall never cease to feel the in
fiuence of this man in her midst. The
interest was deep among the unsaved,
and many were almost persuaded to
settle this greatest of all questions.
Ten additions at the morning service

The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1910-03-19

stated that he had heard the distin-
guished chairman of the code commits
sion say that the Junk" in the alleged
finished code was thrown together by
him, the secretary and seven or eight
clerks in fourteen days. His entire
speech on the bill was a bitter denunc-
iation of the code commission mem
bers. He ended up by saying that he
was in favor of allowing them to com
plete the Oklahoma code, if they desir-
ed to save their reputation as lawyers
and self respect as citizens and were
willing to complete the work without
any more pay from the state.
Mr. Ewell was almost as equally de-
|nunciatory. The code commission got
very little defense from any one, even
those favoring the Thomas bill, having
nothing to say complimentary. The
Ewell motion to kill the bill was de-
feated by four votes, and the bill rec
commended for passage with one vote
to spare.
The Oklahoma code commission is
composed of five eminent lawyers, w.
r. Brownlee of Kingfsher and ]. R.
Thomas Of Muskogee, republicans,
Jean P. Day Of Poteau, Sam H. Harris
of Oklahoma City and John H. Hays
of Hobart, democrats They were ap-
pointed by Governor Haskell and be-
gan work April l, 1909. They were to
have finished the work of compiling
the Oklahoma laws by December l,
1909. but fell out among themselves,
divided into two factions, made one
compilation of the statutes and a par
tally completed code. The Thomas
bill proposes to discharge the code
commission, and appoint, through
legislative committee of six, three rep
and three senators, some
one competent man to complete the
work of codifying the Oklahoma stat
utes There is considerable doubt ex-
pressed as to the passage of the Thorn
as bill finally. 1t certainly did not
have the requisite 55 votes yesterday
afternoon.
