that II would not be amiss to give Ok

Taft and Colonel Roosevelt.
The former Senator said:

oklahoma into. the Union. Also, after
Oklahoma was admitted, / was the first
a Statewide campaign in behalf Of the
Republican party. So ] have u deep
personal affection for all Oklahoma peo-

most OF his life fighting the battles of
the Republican party, I have a pro-
found and peculiar interest in Okla
hOma Republicans. ] earnestly hope to
see Oklahoma Republicans help to elect
a Republican President this fall. They
can do il If the candidate of the Re
publican party Is Theodore Roosevelt.
If our great leader is nominated, he
will be elected,
Il have come to this conclusion after
patiently listening to the frank and pri-
Vatc opinions OF well-informed men of
all parties and of all shades of thought
I'm our own party, given TO me person
ally i'm many States. Even those who
openly are working for another candi-
date privately say that Roosevelt can
be elected.
so as a Republican anxious for Re-
publican victory, as citizen anxious
for our Countrys welfare, as lover OF
the splendid state | helped to create,
hope that Oklahoma may prove true
to Itself by sending Roosevelt delegates
to Chicago and thus help to make n
sure winner as a Republican standard

not forget that under Roosevelt It be

TOGUARD LEGATION
Leave Tientsin Railroad Un-
/ guarded to Protect Yam
sA KEGS in Capital.

A battalion of United States in
fantry reached Picking this morning,
according to reports from China to the
War Department, and at once marched
10 the American Legation, where Il
strong guard was established.
EARLY in the morning a conference
will be held by officials of the State
and War Department to determine
whether or not 1t is necessary to dis
patch another force of American troops
from Manila to re-enforce those now in
China.
When the infantrymen were ordered
10 Peking by the American Minister the
part of the Tientsin railroad patrolled
by them was left unguarded and the
mutinous Chinese troops may cut off
the Chinese capital from the outside
world.
Americans Seek Aid.
Hundreds of American residents in
China have hurried to the legation to
seek the protection of the American
troops. Martial law prevails through
put the city, but in spite of this, looting
and burning goes on unabated today
and the loyal troops seem unable to
cope with the situation.
Minister Calhoun Is in daily confer
epce with the representatives OF other
foreign governments in Peking and he
has authority from Washington to
make any disposition of the troops now
on Chinese soil which the conditions
may demand. Also he has been in
Btructed to agree with the other diplo-

asked to dispatch regiment from the
philippines to re-enforce the infantry
men now in the field.
Transport Ready to Start.
A transport is now at Manila and
1900 troops are ready to embark within
few hours notice for Chinese duty.
The State Department does not feel
any great uneasiness today over the
safety of the legation, but If a siege
Of the Capital Is threatened it is abso-
lutely necessary that some means OF
communication with the outside world
be maintained.
