COLoUITT AND BALL.

No little interest Centers in the

violations of the election law. GOV.
ColQuitt and Col. Ball have passed
correspondence relative to the pros
ecution of parties guilty of Illegal vot-
ing and the proffer of the governor
to appoint a prohibitionist if the in
formation is sent to him has brought
back lengthy reply from Ball but he
does not give the governor to under
stand that the evidence will ever he
turned over to him. Writing edltori-
ally on the subject the Dallas News
says:

Re.pIsTRIcT OKLAHOMA.

Since Oklahoma will have three
more congressman it becomes nece|
sary to call an extra session OF the
legislature to re-district the state.
While the democrats would have the
advantage if these three extra per
sons We're elected at large, still one
political party should not take an ad-
vantage over another. The southern
ortion of the state would nave an
advantage over the northern portion
for the reason that greater number
Of democrats live in southern Oklaho-
ma. but still that is not an advantage
that Is sought. The political party that
ia fair is the party that can be trust
ed by the people and the democratic
party can be trusted.
In the creating of the districts Ok
lahoma City should have a district OF
its own. Let a circle be outlined
about the city taking in sufficient
population to allow it one congress
man and then let the spokes run out
TO the boundary lines of the state in
six different directions making seven
congressional districts outside OF the
