GRANT VICTOR
MAY SIT ON LID
The United States MarshaI's Office
at Muskogee is Waiting For
instructions.

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. 17.-Grant
Victor, United States marshal, return
ed yesterday from Washington, where
he has been in consultation with Attor-
ney General Wickersham and officials
of the department of the interior with
reference to the enforcement of the
statute barring liquor from the old In
dian Territory.
Mr.. Victor says that it was too big
a subject for the officials to decide in
a few days but that he thought tlfey
would reach some sort of decision with
ing ten days. He says if they tell him
to go after the liquor dealers and those
having it in their possession. that he
will certainly do so without fear or
favor and that he will enforce the law
as instructed if it requires hundred
deputies.
There seems to be a general feeling
now that the officials are going to hold
that the old Indian Territory is still
under the act of 1887, under which
"Pussyfoot" Johnson worked and that
conditions of territorial days will be
restored. There also was some rumor
yesterday that the marshal's Office was
taking note of all the liquor charges
which are being made by the county
and city officers with the ultimate pur.
pose of taking the mup under the fed,
eral law if they are asked to put the
lid on.
1t is said that they are doing this
with the idea that it will be easier for
them to take up all these cases and i'm
pose sentences than it will for them to
put out men and make the raids all
over again. Mr.. Victor refused to
state whether or not this was being
done and refused to express an opin
ion as to how the question would be
decided but he was very positive in
his assertion that he would put on
the lid if told it is his duty.
Mr.. Victor said that he would put
on forty men to start with if the de
cision of the court of appeals is held
to be a correct Interpretation of the

glass front; so feet deep, with fine
shelving. This building was rented
to a barber for 50 per month; the
owner agreeing to take the rent out
in shaves and shampoos.
In closing this article it is only fair
to state that l sincerely believe that
our so-called law enforcement had
nothing whatever to do with making
-- county, Kansas, a prohibition
county; the real reason was that the
laboring class of people became too
poor to pay bootleg prices for liquor.
If Craig county, Okla, continue sto
waste all her badly needed public
money in court costs and boarding our
Jail full of negro bootleggers, instead
of uisng it to make roads, build bridges
and pay for the necessary expenses of
developing this new state; our prop
erty will depreciate in value; work will
be scarce making the laboring people
very poor; so poor they can not buy
liquor; then we will have absolute pro-
hibition, for poor people only, like
--- county, Kansas, now enjoys.
Hysterical law enforcement seldom
accomplishes much good.

STOPS ISSUE OF
CAPITOL BONDS
Oklahoma City Attorney Secures An
Injunction Against the City
Commissioners.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 1s.-Any at
tempt by the city commissioners to
call a special bond election for $780,
900 to finance northwest railroad and
start work on the, state capitol, will
be delayed at least until January 29
by a restraining order granted War
rem X. Snyder, an attorney of this city,
in the district court yesterday The
order was granted by Judge J. J. Car
ney at FL Reno.
Snyder attacks tne legality Of the
manner in which it is proposed to call
the election on the bonds. He claims
the commissioners have no authority
to issue the call, and even expresses
grave doubt that the money sought
to be raised for the railroad proposi.
ton will in reality go for that pur-
pose.
He does not seriously object to the
100000 being raised for the state cap
litol but suggests that after certain
individuals in the city guaranteed the
capitol contracts that it is not popu
lar thing to now turn to the people
and have them foot the bills.
A hearing will be held on the re
straining order on January 20 when
the city commissioners will be called
on to show their authority for calling
a special election in the premises.

v. ]. BRYAN
WILL NOT BOLT

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1S.-Gover-
nor Woodrow Wilson will have the sup
port of the large majority of the dele
gates from the New England states to
the democratic national convention for
the nomination for the presidency, not
withstanding the candidacy of Cover
nor Foss, Of Massachusetts, in the opin-
ion of Eugene A. Reed, member of the
democratic national committee from
New Hampshire.
while in my opinion the delegates
to the democratic national convention
from New Hampshire will not be in
structed for any candidate" said Mr.
Reed, who halls from Manchester, New
Hampshire, they will be found, first,
last and all the time for the nomina-
tion of Governor Woodrow Wilson Of
New Jersey. l believe that over so
per cent of the democrats in my state
at the present time are earnestly In
favor of Governor Wilson's nomination.
OF course, realize that Governor Foss
Of Massachusetts, has some strength
in the New England states, particularly
in his own, yet l do not believe that
he will be the choice for president of
this section of the country. Governor
Wilson is the man of the hour If the
democrats unite on his candidacy,
there is not the least doubt in my mind
that he will be elected president. |
believe, also, that we will have more
than a fighting chance to carry New
Hampshire at the next election.
"The people of New Hampshire ha' q
grown tired of being ruled as they have
been ruled and with an iron hand too,
by the railroad interests, represented
by the republican party. If the dem
ocratic party would only give us a
little assistance instead of leaving us
to our own resources, New Hampshire,
in my opinion, would be found in the
democratic column. Governor Wilsol
should come up to our state and get
acquainted with our people. | will
guarantee him handshake with over
two hundred thousand people If he will
come to Manchester sometime during
the meeting of the constitutional con-
vention in New Hampshire early next
spring. Our voters have long admired
him for his courage, his independence
and his sound ideas on all public ques-
Hons. They are not afraid to entrust
the affairs of the nation to him. They
know him to be honest and fearless,
and feel confident that he will be Sc
lected as the standard bearer of our
party by the next democratic national
convention.
For three times / have been sup
porter of William Jennings Bryan for
the presidency. have known him III
timately for many years. When he
says he is not going to be candidate
again, take him at his word, That
he will bolt the democratic convention
Iif man to his liking is not nominated
is the last thing that he contemplates
doing. With Woodrow Wilson in the
saddle, | am confident that Mr.. Bryan
will taKe off his coat and work for the
New Jersey governor just as hard and
as sincerely as he did for his own cleo
ton on the three occasions he was the
party's candidate for president. Wood
row Wilson represents everything that
good democrat should represent
New Hampshire is for him, body and
soul, and l look for his nomination on
the tirst ballot as the choice of his
party for president

ney Pills are especially for sick kid
neys-have been curing kidney trouble

lent results and l can safely recon-
mend them.'
