EVOLVES METHOD TO REPLEN
ISL COURT FUND.
Commissioners VIII Likely Cause a
Transfer of Moneys from The
Supply DEPOSIT.

The board Of county commissioners
met in special session yesterday af-
ternoon and took up the matter OF
the depleted court fund, which has
threatened to put stop to all court
procedure in Tulsa county until next
July. After a long session, the com
missioners evolved a plan whereby
the court fund may lee enriched about
$4,000 by the transfer of funds from
the supply fund.
The state laws in regard to the
paying Of court house rent out OF the
court fund Is rather misleading and II
was discovered that prior to 1911,
this rent had been paid ou fothet
this rent had been paid out of the
court fund when ii should have been
paid out of the supply fund.
The commissioners decided to de-
vice some plan whereby this money
that was wrongfully paid from the
court fund may be transferred from
the supply fund, thus adding $4,000
to the court fund.
If this is done 1t will enable jury
work to continue for three months
at least.

COALGATE, okla, Jan. 26.-(Spe-
cial)-A. f. Perry today wired a call
to all parts of the state for a meeting
at McAlester tomorrow to start a state
wide movementsto secure the delega-
ton from this state for Roosevelt and
to oppose the election as national COM
mitteeman of jim Harris. Perry s
call reads as follows: Il have called
a Roosevelt caucus at the Busby hotel,
McAlester, for Sunday afternoon, Jan
uary 2S, for a state wide movement
and to oppose Jim Harris machine.
Representation from all parts of the
state will be there. Be sure and send
representatives or wire me your proxy
to represent sentiment Of your local
ity."
Perry has also mailed the following
open letter to the republicans Of Ok
lahoma:
The sentiment is becoming deep
seated among the people Of this Sec
ton that the management Of political
should be taken out of the hands Of
the machine controlled by State Chair
man Jim Harris and professional Of
flee holders and be placed in the
hands of the people. where it be-
longs.
That being the case, is it not time
for the people Of Oklahoma to assert
themselves, and redeem the state not
only from democratic misrule, but
also from the misrule of professional
republican spoilsmen.
Il make the suggestion that the re-
publicans of the state, at once organ
ize Roosevelt clubs in every district,
county and precinct Let It be a
Roosevelt state convention.
81 am urged from many localities
to make this appeal. | would like to
hear from all those who believe that
the republicans of Oklahoma should
legin statewide organization. for the
only man who can lead the party to
victory-Theodore Roosevelt.
Every man who is interested in
this movement, let him wire or write
to me at once.
Respectfully.
