HELMICK WILL LEAVE
RATCL|FF-S SANDERS COMPANY

r. c. Helmick, who for the last two
years has been manager of the local
branch of the Ratcliff-Sanders Grocery
company has resigned and will sever
his connection with that firm tomor-
row. He will be succeeded by Lou
Bordenkircher, who has been travel
ing for this company for several
months. Mr.. Helmick will return to
his former home in West Virginia for
a while but has made no definite
plans for the future. During his man
agement the Vinita branch of the
wholesale house has prospered to the
extent that the house is doing more
business here than ever before in it's
history. Mr.. Helmick has made many
friends among the business fraternity,
who regret to see him leave. It is the
general opinion that Mr. Bordenkirch-
er will prove very capable man in
the managers berth.

THREE SAPULPA EDITORS
ARE HELD IN CONTEMPT

Sapulpa, Okla, Sept. pa sensa-
tion was caused here last night when
Judge Barnum of the district court
cited the proprietors of the Daily
Light, Daily Democrat and Daily Star
to appear on the charge of contempt
of court The order of the court
grows out of the publishing of an ar
ticle written by a press agent of May
or-Elect Denton, which severely crit
icized the extravaganza of calling
many witnesses before the special
grand jury.
incorporated in the article was the
charge that 337 witnesses had been
summoned to appear before this in
quisitorial body Tuesday, which
charges have been refuted.
One paper in an editorial character
ized it as an attempt to defeat Mayor
Elect Denton by summoning witnesses
who were all supporters of his. The
order of the court fell like a flash
from a clear sky. What the outcome
of the affair will be cannot be con-
jectured.

McAlester, Okla. Sept. 29.-The

The dismissal of all the town lot

ELDERLY COUPLE FROM
BLUEJACKET WE'D HERE

Cupid has again got busy in Craig
county after lay-off of several days
and the records of the county court
today show four victims of the wing
ed god. One of these couples was quite
young while the other was on toward
the shady side of life. The first IL
cense issued was to G. w. Brason,
aged g. and Miss Marion Flint, aged
19 of Todd. The other couple was
Thomas Miller, aged So and Mrs. En-
ma Hicks, aged 46. Both of these lived
at Bluejacket where they will make
their home in their new career. The
wedding of the latter couple was the
termination of an interesting romance,
which has been watched with inter-
est by their many friends in their
home town. Several of these friends
accompanied the couple to this city

VOTE ON GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE IS PROCLAIMED

Guthrie, Okla, Sept 29.-Attorney
General Charles J. West has submit
red the form to Governor Haskell for
z proclamation which he will issue
soon declaring the results of the elee-
tion on the grandfather cause" the
constitutional amendment adopted
August 2, which DISTINGUISHES the ne
groes. Although the election was held
nearly two months ago, no proclama-
tion has been issued yet by the COVER
nor declaring the result.
The vote on the disfarnchisement
amendment, according to the certif-
cate of the state election board, was:
For the amendment, 134,443; against
the amendment, 1O6,222. This gives a
majority for the amendment Of 2S,-
221. The total vote cast in the pri-
mary election for the heads of the
party tickets was 21S,665, while The
total on the grandfather clause was
240 ,665, showing that 22,307 votes were
cast on the grandfather clause that
were not cast in the election of cam
didates. This is attributed to the
automatic features of the ballot on
the suffrage amendment. A ballot
entirely untouched, is cast, counted
for the amendment and to vote against
it it was necessary to strike out the
words for the amendment"

LOCAL FOOTBALL
SITUATION GOOD
Squad at High School Gridiron Con-
tains Few Members of the Great
Team of Last Two Years.

The cool weather has added much
interest to the football team at the
high school, who are being prepared
by Prof. Fitch to give the lovers of
the game some of the best of that
kind of sport. The practice is neces-
sarily slow, owning to the fact that
but few members of the last years
squad have reported so far. At the
beginning of the school year things
looked pretty blue for the kind of
team that the high school has put out
for the past two years, but new re-
cruits are reporting daily and hard
practice will bring out the team in
its old form.
Smith, quarterback in 19OS-09, is at
his old position. Bullock, the center
of last years team, will probably be
played in the back field. Black, a
new recruit, Henry Carter, Tony
Wright and Harris, are out for the
position of end. Scott, Choteau,
Bailey and Robinson should make back
field material, while Leforce, Britt,
Mitchell, Looney and others, all men
of more or less experience may be
used in the line positions. All these
recruits are new to the fans, it being
their first year with the local team.
Most of them are good strong, husky
lads and should soon pick up the rudi-
ments of the game. Smith has been
elected captain and the boys will
have an experienced and heady leader.
Games have been arranged with the
high schools of Miami, Tulsa and Mus
kogee, and with proper support the
team should have a successful season.
Great effort is being made on the part
of the city superintendent and faculty
of the high school to keep the ath-
letics of the school on high moral
plane, and good clean sport will meet
the eyes of the "rooters" 1t is the
opinion of the coach, Prof. Fitch, that
the new game will not prove dis
appointment to admirers of the game
as played heretofore The changes
are in part intended to make the
game more interesting from specta-
tors point of view.

the other defendants, during the

ment therefore asked that the cases

POSTAL BANKS To
Be OPENED SOON
President Taft And Cabinet Discuss
Final Plans For the Establish
ment of Savings Banks.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 2S.-Presi-
dent Taft and his cabinet discussed
yesterday the final plans for the es-
tablishment of postal savings banks
Postmaster General Hitchcock is chair
man of the board of trustees of the
postal savings bank system and the
complete plans as drafted by the COM
mittee of postal experts which has
been at work all summer were taken
by him to the White House.
After the president had examined
and approved the report but little will
remain in the way of putting the sys-
tenn in operation. At the meeting OF
the board of trustees yesterday after
noon which was continued until late
last night in the Postmaster Generals
office, favorable consideration was
given the report and the recommends
tions of the special committee which
has been working throughout the
summer upon the details of organiza.
ton.
This report embodies recommends
tions upon every feature of the sys-
TEN, including the form and design of
deposit cards for deposits of less than
dollar, certificates for higher
amounts, the design of deposit and
postage stamps to be used, the meth
DDS of accounting, the amounts and
forms of the bonds, and also list of
the Offices where the new postal saw
ings banks shall be first established.
The only delay to putting the system
into operation after the presidents
approved will be that caused by the
printing of supplies and their trans
mission to the Offices to be designated
as banking Offices.
Under the plans proposed by the
committee no bank books are to be
used. For deposits of less than dol
lar stamps will be attached to special
ly prepared cards bearing the name
and serial number of the depositor
and the name and serial number of
the Office. For deposits in amounts
of more than 81 certificates will des-
ignate the depositor and the place
where the deposit is made. These
certificates later on may be exchang-
ed for interest bearing bonds.
Postal deposits will bear interest
at the rate of per cent a year, pay
able once a year, except upon de-
posits of less than 81. Under the law
the balance of the credit of any one
person shall never exceed $780, ex-
elusive of accumulated interest. De
positors may withdraw the whole or
any part of their fund, with accrued
upon demand.
The law requires that surplus pos
tai savings funds shall be deposited in
solvent national or state banks. sub
ject to nation or state supervision, and
that they shall bear interest at the
rate of "a per cent year. Under
the law the word bank" includes
savings banks and trust companies
doing a banking business.

secretary of state yesterday to cover

lature requires all companies or per-

Guthrie, Okla.
My Dear Sir: Your letter of Sept.
10Th has been received, read and con-
sidered.
In as much as you first proposed a
meeting of candidates / feel that it is
proper for you to issue the call nam
ing the place and time of meeting.
will be glad to attend and will urge
all democratic candidates that they do
likewise.
l am pleased beyond measure to
know that all candidates for import
ant state offices in Oklahoma are will
ing to assist in every way possible in
promoting honest elections in this
state.
When we meet to agree upon plans
to carry into effect the suggestions
heretofore made by you in your let
ter of August 18th, as l understand
it, we will not be confined in our ac-
tions to the propositions stated in
your letter, but any candidate will be
permitted to offer additional sugges-
tions that will tend to greater security
of the sanctity Of the ballot
In securing an honest election it is
not sufficient that each voter "be per-
mitted to vote just as his conscience
dictates, and have his vote counted
and declared just as it was cast" but
it is equally important to provide that
none but legally qualified voters shall
be permitted to vote. To permit ille-
gal and disqualified voters to partici-
pate in our elections is just as fatal
to honest elections and good govern
ment as it is to make false count and
return of legal ballots On the End
day of August, by very decisive ma
jority, the people of this state amend
ed our constitution, whereby certain
qualifications have been prescribed as
prerequisite to the right to cast bal
lot. This amendment is popularly
known as the Grandfather Clause"
in the constitution. Having become
a part of our organic law it is the duty
of every citizen who believes in up
holding the laws OF the state to see
that this provision of our constitution
is carried 'nto effect
At our meeting I shall propose that
we take steps to see that this amend
ment to the constitution is strictly en-
forced at the coming election, to the
end that no Illegal or disqualified vot
er under our laws is permitted to
vote in this state From the interest
you have manifested in regard to fair
elections l am warranted in conclud-
ing that you will heartily join in the
effort to enforce the Grandfather
Clause" amendment in this election.
VIII you do so? Let us all unite in
seeing that none but legal voters un-
der our constitution and laws are per
mitted to vote, that each voter be
permitted to vote as he desires and
that his ballot be counted and return
ed as cast. With these things accom-
plished Sunshine and Prosperity
will be the portion of the people of
Oklahoma.
Very truly yours,
LEE CRUCE.
