name of the man for which he
wishes to vote.
The completeness of the ballot is
recognized at a glance. Nothing
could be more simple. Here are the
names of every candidate. All the
voter has to do is to put a cross
opposite the name of each man for
whom he wishes to vote. If he is
voting for party rather than the
man, he will simply put a cross after
the name of the party regardless of
the man who is the candidate of
that party for which he wishes to
vote. If he is voting for men, how
ever, and desires to place in office
those whom he thinks is best fitted
for the place. he will follow his own
inclination and put a cross after
such names as he chooses, regardless
of whether such names are followed
by the word Republican, Democrat,
Prohibition, or any other party.
As a sample ballot is to be sent to
every voter prior to election, each
man IAN fix up the sample as he
chooses in his own home and when
he goes to the polling place and is
handed an official ballot, all he has
to do in the booth is to mark the
official ballot exactly as he has pre-
pared the sample ballot. There are
no pastors to bother the voter,
neither is he required to write any
names on the ballot, if he desires to
split his ticket. Everything is there
before him when he has the Geran
ballot in hand and by simply mark
ing tx" he expresses his preference.
While the Star published this
sample ballot with the evident in
t@entiOn of discrediting the proposed
new system of voting, we believe it
has done a great good for the cause
of reform in this particular. With
the voters having this sample before
them and realizing how simple it is
to express their will at the polls,
We believe they will be all the more
determined that the Geran bill shall
become a law.

A NOTABLE GATHERING.

1t was a notable gathering that
assembled At Burlington, Wednesday
night, with William j. Bryan, Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, James e.
! MARITIME and other prominent Demo-
Gratis assembled in honor of the an
niversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson. Perhaps the most nota-
BILE feature was the absence of some
OF the heretofore state Democratic
leaders. 1t is evident that a change
has taken place in the ranks of
Democracy in New Jersey, and that
Governor Wilson has made good his
promise that, if elected, he would
bring about a complete reorganiza-
ton of the party, with new leaders
at the helm.
New Jersey is certainly in the
limelight these days, and it is large
" due to the great work of Governor
Wilson. He was hailed Wednesday
night as the mex President and the
hearty endorsement given him by
great influence that Mr.. Bryan has

rARIEE LEaGuE Is HuMBLE.

In our mail yesterday We received
from the American Protective Tariff
League an appeal to use our infiu-
ence against the proposed Canadian
reciprocity agreement. The most
prominent word in the appeal is
Please" This is printed in large
red letters across the top of the pa
per. The impress is at once given
that the tariff league, which is
composed Of manufacturers who
have grown rich by having all COM
petition barred from this country by
the tariff, is on its knees begging for
assistance. Heretofore the league
has been more domineering in its
manner and has been inclined to in
sist upon what it believed to be the
right being carried out. Today,
however, it is pushed to the wall and
We find the league now crying:
Please, Mr.. Voter, help us out"
Along with the appeal came ten
post cards upon which a n cent
stamp is to be placed and the person
receiving them is supposed to send
them to the congressional delega-
ton from his state that they may
use their best efforts in opposition
to Canadian tariff agreement
This humble appeal on the part
of the tariff league proves that
the organization is in its last ditch
and realizes it's helplessness in the
face of the great popular demand
that has arisen all over the country
for tariff reform.

THE NEW

The Newark Star, yesterday morn
ing, published what it claimed to
be a sample of the official ballot I'M
der the proposed Geran law. This
ballot was drawn up as it would APP
ply to Essex county. It took nearly
a whole page of the Star and it was
claimed that 1t was then somewhat
smaller than the official ballot would
be. OF course, it must be under
stood that Essex is one of the larg-
est counties in the state, and as a
result, has a larger number of can
didates than any other county with
the exception of Hudson, so that the
ballots for other counties would not
be as large as the one shown in the
Star.
The publication of this sample
ballot was done evidently with the
intention of discrediting the Geran
law by impressing upon the people
how unwieldy the ballot would be.
The Star, as is well known, is bit
terly opposed to everything favored
by Governor Wilson since James
Smith, Jr., was defeated for United
States senator, and it, therefore,
could not be expected to take a
favorable view of the Geran bill,
especially as the bill will put com
pletely out of business such ma
chimes as are controlled by Smith
and Nugent.
At a first glance the ballot does
seem somewhat startling, especially
after being accustomed to the small
slips Of paper which have been in
use in New Jersey under the Werts
election law. A closer glance, how
ever, shows how simple and COM
plete the ballot, as provided by the
Geran bill, is. Although when spread
out it is about the size of a neWspa-
per page, yet upon it are printed the
names of every candidate who is run
ming for office no matter by what
party he may have been nominated.
Opposite each name is published the
party to which the candidate be-
longs; also there is a place in which
the voter is to put a cross after the

YOUNG CLYDE LEE KILLED
BY HORSE FALLING ON HIM

Clyde, the fourteen year old son of
James Lee, living on the w. H. Korne.
gay farm, seven miles north of town,
was killed yesterday as a result of a
horse falling on him.
Yesterday afternoon the horse,
which the boy had ridden away from
home earlier in the day, returned rider
less. Mud on the saddle aroused the
fear that the boy had been injured. A
search was instituted and the pros
trate form of the youth was found
about a quarter of a mile from the
house. He was carried to his home
and medical aid summoned. He died,
however without regaining conscious
ness When examined no bruises were
found, and it is supposed internal in
juries caused the death.

HASKELL RETURNS TO WATCH
SENATOR OVENS OPERATIONS

Oklahoma City, Jan. 1S-The sud-
den temperance OF former Governor
Haskell in Oklahoma City, with
in a week of the time he left for Texas.
ostensibly upon q long vacation, is
given considerable political signifi-
canee among politicians, in view of
the fact that United States Senator
Robert L. Owen is here looking after
his political fences. 1t is believed gen.
erally that Haskell will be candidate
for the United States senate against
Senator Owen and the former COVER
nor's presence here is believed to have
been prompted by a desire to be on
the spot to watch Overs operations.
That the senatorial fight has not be-
gun is conceded by political leaders.
1t is reported that Governor Haskell
will launch daily edition of his week
ly newspaper in Oklahoma City and
that Leslie Niblaclf, his son-in-law and
present editor of the Guthrie Leader.
will take charge of the publication.

supreme court library and the two
high courts of the state and to remove
the library here, was passed by the
house.
The house recommitted a bill by
Landrum and Tehee which gives the
commissioner of charities and correc-
tions authority to go into the courts
and intervene for the appointment of
guardians where minors estates are
being mismanaged. The bill met
strong opposition.
A house bill by Anthony takes the
school moneys from the control of the
secretary of the school land board and
places them in the state treasury to
be handled as other funds. A house
bill by Nisbett makes it unlawful for
milliners to keep for sale wings or
feathers of birds or fowls for trim
ming on women's hats, but excepts
ostrich plumes.
Speaking to joint assembly of both
houses yesterday, United States SEN
ator Robert L. owen of Oklahoma pub
licly declared his belief that Judson
Harmon of Ohio is unfit to become the
national leader of the democratic
party.
Il beseech you to look at Adams
county, Ohio, where more than 1000
citizens were indicted for selling their
votes" said the senator. In Ohio it
is a mere matter of who has the big
gest purse. For that reason say that
Governor Harmon does not deserve to
lead the democracy"
BY inference he took slap at Roose-
welt when he said: "There is only one
great man in America who has tried
to put one arm around Henry Cabot
Lodge and the other about Ben Lind
sey of Denver"

MORE RIGID ENFORCEMENT
OF LIQUOR LAW DEMANDED

Oklahoma City, Jan. 1S.-The house
went on record for more rigid enforce
ment of prohibition yesterday when
it advanced to third reading a bill by
Webb and Anthony of the house and
Thompson of the senate which abol-
ishes the dispensary system, substitute
ing state warehouse where pure grain
alcohol and denatured alcohol can be
furnished pharmacists or institutions
using alcohol for scientific or eduea-
tional purposes. No provision is made
by which physicians may get intoxicat-
ing liquors for medicinal purposes.
An amendment by Barrett of Shaw
nee, which was adopted, abolishes the
office of counsel to the governor,
known as state enforcement attorney.
The bill carries a provision requiring
the judge of any court of record, upon
the written request of the county at
torney or sworn complaint of any 9TH
er person to summons witnesses and
make a secret inquiry into alleged vio-
lations.
Club houses and other public drink
ing places are put out of business by
provision making it unlawful to
keep intoxicating liquor in any place
of business, office. club room or place
of amusement, even for individual use.
Any person twice convicted of violat-
ing the law is designated "an habitual
violator," and the offense is made a
felony. One of the most important
features of the original bill, which
gave the governor power to remove
county officers for failure to enforce
the prohibition laws upon a hearing,
was eliminated.
A resolution by Peters instructing
the board of public affairs to get quar-
ters at once in Oklahoma City for the

ling that saloon licenses be revoked
and the places closed.
Progress, says the commissioner, Is
being made in the work of connecting
the Indian schools with the public
schools, and the association of Indian
children with white children will be
a definite means of promoting the as.
similation of the Indians into Ameri.
can life.
"a comprehensive survey of the
condition of the schools throughout
the service was made during the last
year." reports the commissioner. "Out
of a school population of about 10000
(this does not include the Five Civiliz-
ed Tribes), there are in school 29,1S5
leaving out of school 1885. Includ-
ing public schools within reach of In
dian children, there are Accommodations
for 6,344 being unused, thus leaving
4,471 for whom there would appear to
be no school Accommodations. The chief
supervisor of schools is of the opinion,
however, that with the exception of the
Navajos and Apaches, all other Indian
children can be well cared for in
schools already in existence"
After saying that there are millions
of acres of Indian lands in Indian res
ervations, the report says that thus
far about 10000 acres have been irri-
gated; of this number 11S,640 have
been irrigated by Indians and 42,OSO
by white lessees and purchasers.
'The government no longer looks
upon its duty to the Indians as mere
ly involving an honest accounting for
its trusteeship of Indian lands and
funds" says the commissioner. 1T
considers the trusteeship of this prop
erty as the means of bringing the In
dian to a position of self-reliance and
where he may be able
to accept the opportunities and re-
sponsibilities of American citizenship"
