CITY PRIMARY MAY
Be HELD MARCH IS
Little Discussion Of Municipal Politics
To Elect Members School
Board and Council.

1t is now probable that a primary
will. be called March is to select can
didates from both parties for the city
Officers to succeed the officers whose
terms expire this spring. The regular
city election will be held the first
Tuesday in April This is what is
known as the odd" year and the only
Officers to be elected are four mem
bers of the council and four members
Of the school board, one from each
ward After the election last spring
the successful candidates drew for the
long and short terms. Those draw
ing the short term to retire this
spring, and those drawing the long
straw to retire in the spring of 1911
The mayor, chief of police and other
officers are elected for a period Of two
years
As yet there has been nothing done
toward making the party nominees,
and so far there has been little dis
cussion Of municipal politics. How
ever it is believed that a pretty warm
fight will develop over the election Of
the members of the school board

RAISE THE BONUS

Meeting Of Commercial Club
is Expected Here Monday.

Vice President Walters, of the
Usage Western did not attend the
meeting of the Commercial Club last
night as was announced. Late yes
terday he telephoned Secretary Wise
that he would be unable to attend,
owing to the fact that he received an
unexpected call to come to Paw
huska, and had to go to that place
last night. He will come to Vinita

purpose of signing up the contract
with this city.

was decided last night that the mem
bers of the club make final effort to
raise the amount. A committee was
selected to start today to try to enlist
the aid of some of the delinquent

LOCAL OPTIONISTS SLIP
ONE OVER ON "DRYsr

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 25.--Thore Is
strong possibility that the local option
petitioners have slipped upon the
blind side Of the prohibitionists and
that 1t is now too late for the 'drys'
to file protests to the sufiiciency Of
their petitions bearing the signature Of
more than $4,000 voters. These peti
tions were left with the secretary Of
state more than week ago and he
gave his receipt for them to the pc
titioners. Under the law II any one
desires to protest to the suhiciency Of
initiative or referendum petitions he
must do SO within five days Of the time
they were filed.
G. B. Stuart, attorney for the local
optionists, takes the position that
under the decision Of the Oklahoma
supreme court on the Taylor general
election law, petitions are considered
filed as soon as they are left With the
secretary of state for fling and that
the duties Of the secretary of state and
the governor in detaching the sigma
lures is merely ministerial
Secretary Cross and Governor Has.
kell still persist in their refusal to der
tach the signatures and pass upon
the sufficiency Of the petitions. Aside
from his legal attitude on the matter
it is understood that the governor be-
lieves it would put the state admins
tratIon in bad with the prohibition
lists for him to so ahead with the nee
essary steps to hold the petitions SUI
ficient and Secretary Of State Cross is
unwilling to assume the political and
legal responsibility of going ahead in
the face Of the governors adverse ac-
ton. If forced by the courts 10 pass
upon the sufficiency Of the petitions
then the responsibility is shifted upon
the courts.

government to raise money under the
borrowing provision.
He also entered upon extended ar
guments to prove that the measure
was not justified under either the post
Office clause or the money coming
clause of the constitution If the Gus
toms houses were as numerous as
postofiices, said Senator Bailey, they
would have been as apt to be chosen
for this business. The business pro-
posed was purely fiscal operation,
ne decalred, and made no pretense Of
any connection with the operations Of
the postal service. He contended that
the private citizen had right to do
with money as he pleased, as he had
with other property.

SENSATION WAS SPRUNG
IN P|NCHOT CASE TODAY
BY Associated Press.

by AssOcldteu fTeSs.
Washington, Feb. 25.-Interest in the
resumption of the Pinchot inquiry
was today centered in the announce
ment that Clifford Pinchot would be
called. Just what Pinchot would say
was problematical.
Washington, Feb. 25.-The inquiry
took an unexpected turn today when
Special Agent Horace T. Jones of the
land Office took the stand for the
prosecution" and made a sensational
attack on James NJ. Sheridan, who
was sent by the land office to Seattle
last year to take charge of the gov
|ernments case In the hearings on the
Cunningham ceal claims In Alaska.
Jones declared Sheridan had been
graduated in law only a year or two
and his conduct of the case was in
competent and he had opposed TO him
two of the leading lawyers OF Seattle.
Jones was still under cross examina-
tion when luncheon recess was taken
and it appeared that Pinchot would
not be reached as witness until late
this afternoon.

SENATE TO VOTE ON POSTAL
SAVINGS BANK BILL MARCH 8
Texas Senator Delivers Striking Speech Throws
Much Light on ConsiitutiOnality of Measure
Garter Succeeds After Many Futile Efforts
in Getting Day Set for Vote Owen Gives
Notice He Will Introduce Guaranty
Plan as Substitute.

Washington, D. c.. Feb, 25.-Decid-
ed progress was maze in the sen ire
Thursday towards tire disposition "
tn, postal savings banl; bin
in addition to striking speech by
Senator Bailey, n'ld an amendment
offered as compromise Of tn, varl-
Gus differences on the question of the
disposal of the funds, arising from the
postal deposits, Senator Carter sue
Iceeded after many previous futile ef-
forts in getting next Thursday, March
3, fixed for vote on the bill. There
was no objection to naming a day,
and the senators appeared pleased
that time had been fixed for the
final disposition of the measure
which, it must be confessed. has drag
ged in its progress through the SEN
ate.
Mr.. Carter preferred his request
after the close of Sen
ator Bailey's speech. The time was
we'll selected for the reason that many
senators have been waiting to hear
from the Texas senator before agree
ing to the fixing Of any time for the
ultimate disposal of the bill.
After Mr.. Bailey had concluded,
many expressed the opinion thar he
had thrown much light upon the con
stitutional questions involved in the
subject He had splendid audience,
both on the floor Of the senate and
in the galleries, and his speech was
received with general favor
Mr.. Owen gave notice that he would
speak today on his proposed amend
ment substituting government guar
antee of bank deposits for the sug-
Egested postal banks.
Mr.. Bailey discussed the different
clauses of the constitution under which
the savings bank bill had found sup
port. Beginning with the commerce
clause, he declared it to be grotesque
absurdity to say such limitation OF
postal savings banks would be es
tablished under it.
Referring to the contention that the
bill was justified under the borrowing
clause of Che constitution, he asked It's
advocates whether the real purposs Of
the measure was that of borrowing
money. If it was, then it was con
stitutional, but if conceiving the OBJ
ject of this clause to be that of en-
abling the government to perform its
function in time of emergency, he
contended that the measure would not
justify the contention made under this
clause. He said he would not affront
the intelligence of his colleagues MOI
discredit his own candor by saying
that he believed any one would vote
for it with the idea that it was i'll
