Own Life.

After writing a note saying that he
would like to have seen his brother
and sister again, but that he was tired
of living, Roy Cohorn, aged q years,
shot and killed himself at the home

neck, and with a garden rake pulled
the trigger The full charge took eff
feet in the neck, nearly tearing the
head from the shoulders. The remains
were buried at Bluejacket today.
The youth is of one of the best
families in that vicinity His father

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 9.-Declaring
that the suggestions made by J. w.
McNeal, republican candidate for gov
ernor for securing a fair count in the
general election this fall, meet his
hearty approval in so far as they are
permitted under existing law, Lee
Cruce of Ardmore, democratic candi-
date for governor, addressed letter
to Mr.. McNeal in reply to the one di-
rected to all the gubernatorial candi-
dates by the republican nominee sew
|eral weeks ago. Cruce apologies for
his delay in replying on the ground
that he has just returned from a
vacation of three weeks in Colorado.
After asserting that the democratic
party always has opposed unfair elec-
tions and corruption Cruce takes some
hot shots at the republican party, de-
claring that republican board in 1876
"ruthlessly set aside the will of free
people" and placed man in the high
lest Office of the land who was de-
feated overwhelmingly. He also de-
clares that the election of 1896 was
corrupted by the use of millions and
that in Oklahoma territory the late
Bill Cross was counted out"
Cruce then refers to the pledge of a
fair election law in the democratic
platform adopted recently and to the
pledge of the republican state plat
form of a return to the election ma.
chinery in force before statehood, IAN
election machinery under which" says
the Cruce letter, ''the most flagrant
and outrageous dishonesty was not
only possible but actually was per.
Ipetrated."
McNeal intimated in his letter that
the nomination of both the demo
cratic and republican candidate was
tainted with fraud and declares that
| if he thought for a moment that his
nomination were secured by fraud OF
unfair means he would return the
nomination to his party and that Nc
Neal should do the same. Cruce states

COUNTY OFFICERS MUCH
DISTURBED BY DECISION

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 9.-Oklahoma
City will be the scene of a heated dis.
cussion today. The register of deeds,
county clerks and county treasurers
of the entire state are to meet there
and try and determine just where they
stand on the salary question. 1t is ex-
pected that over two hundred and
fifty will attend the meeting.
The adverse opinions as rendered
by Attorney General West and. Dis
trict Judge Carney on the fees and
salary bill is what has brought nat
ters to climax and compelled the
county officers to take action and try
and settle their salary question.
According to West the fees and
salary bill went into effect on June
is, or as soon after as the county
census was returned. Under this rul
ing number of the county officers
were changed from a straight SALARY
to fees,
Recently Judge Carney in Cana
dian county held that the bill does
not effect the officers who were il
Office at the time of its passage.
AS a result in some counties of
ficers were receiving salary and ir
other counties they are getting a fee
None are certain whether they are
obeying the law or not.
At the meeting today it is expected
that the officers will choose an inter
probation of the law, place it in eff
feet in all state counties.

Democratic Candidate Declares His Party Has

Conducting Elections s---Explains Delay

Agree to Return to the Elec-
ton Machinery of Old Oars

600 to the republican campaign in Ok

any plan that does not violate the elec-
tion laws of Oklahoma, but that the
candidates by agreement have no
more right to repeal the election laws
of the state than a mob has to try to
set aside the laws providing for jury
trial.
Cruce states he is willing to allow
each party two watchers or more at
the polls to insure a fair count and
states that the present law allows one
watcher for each party. He also
agrees to the plan of having carbon
copies of the tally sheets given to
the election clerk and inspector and
charges the republican party with de.
feating proposed amendment to the
election laws permitting three carbon
sheets to be made, one for each mem.
Der of the election board.
Cruce concludes his letter as fol
lows:
IF elected governor / shall try to
carry out the platform pledges of my
party honestly by continuing to stand
for fair primary and general elec-
tion law that will insure fair count
and will provide a sufficient penalty
for dishonest men who violate it, but
| will never agree to return to the

DENNIS WILSON
NEW PRESIDENT
Commercial Club Elects New Corps
of Officers And Prepares to Cam
paign For Bigger Vinita.

The regular weekly meeting OF the
Commercial Club last night was taken
up with the election of officers for the
ensuing year. There was fairly large
attendance brought out by the fact
that the officers were to be chosen.
The following officers were elected:
Dennis H. Wilson, president; F. M.
Smith, vice president and w. B. Coley,
C. B. Rogers, John A. Wise, Sam R.
Frazee and A. ]. Williams, directors.
The secretary will be selected by the
board of directors at its first meeting
and the work of the club will not be
allowed to drag.
D. H. Wilson, the new president
made the club neat little speech of
acceptance that was brim full of en-.
thusiasm for Vinita, and is a fair in
dication of the esteem in which the
new president holds the city and how
he regards thhe possibilities of build
ing a greater city here.
The matter of locating the Shelter
Brothers nursery here was discussed
briefly and it was the sense of the
club that every encouragement and
aid in securing a location for this en-
terprise, be lent them by the club.
The report of committees and a
general review of the work of the
club during the past few months was
INDUCED in by the members.

not opposed.
The committee on resolutions of
the Nal 9Sal Conservation Congress
was in turmoil, or verging on it yes
terday. Eventually the committee
agreed to recommend to the session Of
the convention a platform demanding
national control of the countries nat
ural resources.
The big fight of the committee
meeting, which it was promised would
be carried to the floor OF the conven-
ton at the night session, concerned
the mention of the name of Roose-
welt as the originator of the policies
recommended by the committee, and
ignoring that OF President Taft.
The sessions of the committee were
executive, but the reports of warfare
leaked out Violent speeches were
made demanding that the policies ad-
vocated by the congress were not only
those OF Mr.. Roosevelt, but also those
OF Mr.. Taft and that the name of the
latter should be specifically mention
