to organize its entire system into "ef-|

joined in this dance and skipped over
the floor like children and became
woefully tangled i'm their efforts to

MURRAY Still Talks,

Oklahoma City, Jan. 23.-William
H. Murray, OF Tishomingo, who was
present in the senate chamber for the
purpose OF delivering copies Of the
constitutional convention journal to
the members OF the senate, made a
brief but pointed address on the ne
cessity for pure election laws before
that body on Friday afternoon.
Murray declared that no political
party could permanently win when 1t
stood behind dishonest election laws.
He asserted that such laws had caus-
ed the defeat Of the democratic party
in Missouri and Kentucky, even with
the brand OF Cain on the republican
party" in the latter state. and init
mated that a somewhat similar result
might follow in Oklahoma, II the cleo
tion laws here are not revised.
In reply to the charges that he was
actuated by personal ambition, he Of
fered to agree never to become can
didate for any office, elective or ap'
pointlve, II the legislature would pass
new general and primary election
laws along the line of these he is now
preparing for its consideration.
While he was in the senate inquiry
was made of Mr. Murray in regard 10
the cost of preparing and publishing
the debates OF the constitutional con-
vention. He estimated that there
would be about 5000 pages Of the nee
essary debates, eliminating all irrele-
want matter, and that It would cost
about $4,000 to prepare them for pub
lication and probably $4,000 to $780,
600 for their publication.

the New York judgment became COR
mant nearly six years ago. This point
is nov under argument and will be

plead that under the New YORK laws,
the judgment must be revived every

As an offset 70 the $4,000 judgment

still due on a loan made By the Hi

He bought the rails, It is explained,

deliver.
II he wins his point, now under arg
ument, the former governor intends 10
present this alleged debt to him in
the New York courts as a counter
plea against the Loder judgment. He
explains that Loder was only clerk
in the Steel company's office.
It is said, too, that several years
ago, while John ". Gates was presi-
dent Of the Steel company, Haskell
reached an understanding with him
whereby the Loder claim would have
been settled, but that Gates was de-
posed before IL materialized
The cases OF Judge Bailey Of Otta'
