The republicans object to the great
number of state officials and employees.
We have in Oklahoma one state EN-
ploye for every $500 Of our population.
The republican national administra-
tion has given us one federal employe
for every 273 of our population. The
republicans promise economy If they,
in the event of their success, should
give us economy, they would give us
something they never have given the
people of this republic, something they
never have given the people of a sin
gle republican state. and something
they utterly failed to give the people
of Oklahoma Territory during the sew
enteen years of republican ascend
ancy prior to statehood They prom
ised to reduce the number of officials
and employees. They gave us 5000 adj
ditional employees during one year of
the Roosevelt administration. They
gave us $4,000 additional employees
during the first year of the Taft ad-
ministration. The number of state
employees. considering our present pop
ulation, is not so great as the number
of employees under the territorial ad-
ministration, when the population Of
Oklahoma Territory, prior to state
hood is taken into consideration.

Wanted to Buy.

Inspector Valentine calls attention
to the proposition made by Cobe and
McKinnon of Chicago to purchase for
$225,000 certain assets of the Colum-
bia bank in which was included the
following: All securities held as col
lateral to any of the notes now in the
possession of the receiver which notes
are not included in this sale, except
to the extent necessary to enable the
receiver to deliver title to such colat-
eral to the purchaser herein"
The sale was carried through on an
order from the Oklahoma county dis
trict court.
Immediately upon receipt of the re-
port by Governor Cruce it was trans
mitted at once to Attorney General
West. Inspector Valentine called es-
pecial attention to the manner in
which assets turned over to the bank
ing board to aid in liquidation had
been disposed of and suggests that
only court proceedings can insure a
satisfactory settlement.

pledges itself to continue its splendid
administration looking to the elimina-

positions as time has demonstrated,
to be unnecessary. The credit of the
state is being maintained. The ex-

opposition to Underwood for first place.
they were without the right to name any
list of delegates and as 1t was not pos
sible to name two Underwood lists they
found themselves blocked again by the
Bankhead rules from getting an express
sion for second choice.
Individual delegates might have been
put on the ticket, but this was found
impractical as it was undoubtedly in
tended to be by the Bankhead plan.
Then a curious thing happened. The
people, regardless of their Underwood or
Wilson leanings would not stand for the
"capsule''s delegates, would not permit
them to be named from Underwood head
quarters.
In most of the counties this feature
of the Banlkhead plan has been practical
~ abandoned, for representative voters
of both sides got together and named
a representative list of delegates, among
which many are for Wilson for second
choice.
And the result is that If the delegates
who are for Wilson for second choice do
not control the convention, they at least
hape they will be able to prevent Ala
bama S delegation from being turned over
to Harmon or 10 Senator Bankhead to
be traded and trafficked with as he
pleases.

HUNGRY AND UNARMED,
OUTLAW SURRENDERED
Sidna Edwards Says He Did
Not Play Any Part in
Shooting
CBy Associated Press.)

HILLSVILLE. Va, March 2S.-No
further captures had been reorted ear
ly today by the posses trying to round
up the Allen fugitives on the North
Carolina border. The arrest of young
Sidna Edwards yesterday left four OF
the hunted men at large-SidnaAllen
the clan leader, who is supposed 20
have fired the shot that killed Judge
Massie; and his nephew, Wesley Ed
wards and Friel and Claude Allen. The
massing Of the hundred or more
searches about hte hills south of this
place indicates the officers believe the
outlaws are still secreted in that vi
cinity but whatever the authorities
know or believe. they are keeping to
themselves.
Sidna Edwards, who was found IN
armed and hungry in a deserted noun
tain hut, insists he has not seen his
uncles or cousins since the day of the
court house tragedy. He says he had
no part in the shooting; that he went
to the court house and later took to
the mountains only because he heard
the possemen intended to shoot any
members of his family on sight.

and that a little further study will show
that the links make a chain, and that
the chain forms a ring-a political ring
of Harmon and railroad factors that
whether he wills it or not is backing
Underwood in Alabama and fighting Will
son.
rs NOT OPPOSED TO FAvORITE SON.
Now it should not be understood that
there is any opposition to Underwood in
Alabama as the states first choice for
the presidential nomination, Tor such is
not the case. He is the favorite son.
AS far back as January 20 Wilson's
friends in this state decided not to con-
test with Underwood for first choice, and
not to place Wilson's name on the ticket
for that place.
What they have been contending for
all the time and what they have been
denied by the Bankhead rules at every
stage is some opportunity for the eX-
preston of second choice for Wilson.
Here is where the Bankhead plan did
its best work, and it is why Wilson's
name will not appear on the ticket either
for first choice or for second choice,
an why no delegates in his name will
appear thereon.
1t is conservatively estimated, never
theless, that if Underwood were eliminat-
ed, Wilson would receive out OF III votes
in the April primary.
Before the meeting OF the committee.
the Wilson supporters, that is, of course
supporters of Wilson after Underwood,
demanded that they be allowed to vote
for second choice on the ticket The COM
mittee did not even consider this de-
mand. Then the Wilson men said, Let
us vote directly for the delegates to
the national convention as we did in the
presidential primary we held in 1908" But
the Bankhead steam roller squelched this
and said that the national delegates
should be elected by the state conven-
ton, and that delegates to this conven-
ton only should be voted for.
Then there was inserted in the rules the
block" or capsule plan of voting for
delegates to the state convention, by
which any candidate for the presidential
nomination or his campaign manager
might file with the county committees a
list of delegates to be voted as a whole.
This gave the campaign manager the
power to name the delegates in every
county without regard to the wishes of
the voters of the particular county.
SECOND CHOICE BLOCKED.
After the Wilson supporters decided
not to use his name on the ticket in
