ACCUSED DECLARE POLITICS
il BEHIND THE CHARGES

Oklahoma city. Jan. john u.
benedict. and other accused Indian
officials made a full denial of the
charges of Secretary Ballinger when
interviewed tonight They hint that
politics might be held responsible for
the accusations, and that Supervisor
oscar H. Lipp's methods were nothing
less than "sneaking.'

of the kind would happen for some

INSURGENTS CAN LOOK FOR
NO HELP FROM MACHINE.

Waghington Jan. 9.--Thcse opposed

Interpreted by the present admins
tration can expect no support from
the regular wing of the republican
party.
Such Il warning to insurgents was
sent out TO the country in statement
o. The republican congressional cans
puign committee.

planned. to meet the allegation that
the committee is attempting TO pro-

surgents who nave antagonized the ore
ganization of the house of rcprcsen-

The inference is that the statement
has the endorsement of President Taft.
II is said To have been written after
a conference of leading committee
members at the White House and that
the sentiment expressed in that state
ment are those of the administration
exactly.
While the statement admits ii is

INSURGENTS RUN
FOR WHITE HOUSE
Three Progressives Tell President
They Fear They Have Been
"used BY Democrats.

| Washington, Jan. ia new and
decidedly interesting turn was given
to the 'insurgent' movement in the
house yesterday when Representatives
Hayes of California, Murdoch of Kan
sas and Gardner of Massachusetts
hastened to the White House to tell
the president in effect that they were
afraid they had been used" by the
democrats In the matter of the Ballin
lger-Pincbot investigating committed
and that the democrats we're taking
advantage Of the opportunity to put
two of their most partisan members
on the committee for the purpose of
making political capital out Of the af-
fair.
Mr.. Hayes was the first of the insur-
gents to reach the White House. He
told the president that while he was
an insurgent he did not intend to be
placed in the position of helping the
democrats to throw mud at re.
publican administration This he
was afraid was going to happen un-
less eeme means of changing the dem
ocratic selections for the Investigate
ing committee could be devised.
Messrs. James of Kentucky and
Rainey Of Illinois were selected by
the democratic caucus for appoint
ment under the action of the insur-
gent-democratic combination, which
took the power of appointing the com
mittee away from the speaker.
Hardly had Mr. Hayes left the ex-
executive offices when Messrs Murdoch
and Gardner walked in arm in arm.
They reiterated much that Mr.. Hayes
had said. but admitted they did not
see exactly how they were going 10
get out of the difficulty. A statement
was prepared by Mr.. Gardner and Mr..
Murdock, which said.
I'VE called on the president and
spoke to him about the personnel of
the investigating committee. but moth
ing definite was arrived at. The pres
ident felt it was not for him to indi-
cate his choice as to the future action
Of the house in this respect, but Urged
that it was of the utmost importance
that the members OF the committee
should be men recognized by both
sides of the house as fair and impair
tial to the investigation"

Rank Seventh In Industries of United
states-coley is President Of
State Association.


At the annual convention of the Ok
lahoma Laundrymen's association held
at Enid, January II and Is, w. B.
Coley of this city was elected presi-
dent, and j. II. Wells, of the Ivy
Laundry company, of Oklahoma City,
was elected secretary, for the ensuing
year. The election of Mr.. Coley, at
this time was very appropriate, con-
sidering the number of Vinita men,
who have been elected to the presi-
dency Of industrial and official asso-
Citations within the last month.
A somewhat remarkable fact that
shows the enormous proportions to
which the laundry business has grown
in the United States was made known
by the secretary of the National
Laundry Association, who stated that
in point of the number Of persons en-
pioyed, and the amount paid in wages,
the laundry business ranked seventh
among the industries of the United
States.
The gathering at Enid, which did
not represent more than sixty per
cent. of the laundries in the state,
represented an investment of over
$S50,0OO. in laundries in Oklahoma.
