Fargo Journal: w T. Cooley, of
Enid, was here Saturday He is
greatly interested in the capital mat
ter. Enid is going to vote almost
solid for Guthrie this time" said Mr..
Cooley and then he goes on to show
how the people of the state have been
paying big rents to the millionaire
owners OF the sky-scraper buildings
for offices ever since the capital has
been moved, and absolutely nothing
in evidence done to build a capitol
building. Before the capital location
was changed there was not cent
of rent being paid and Guthrie has
promised the real buildings built and
all you have to do is to move back
into them. That's what counts with
me- and that's why we are all going
to vote for Guthrie at Enid" said Mr..
Cooley.

THRONE APPARENTLY TAKES
NEW LEASE OF LIFE

Pekin, Jan. 2. - The feeling in
Pekin tonight is that the throne has
taken on new lease of life. There
are some competent observers, who
believe that Premier Yuan Shi kai
Will yet prevent the consumation OF
a republic.
The imperial cabinet has accepted
the resignation of Tang Shao vi, who
was sent to Shanghai as the represen-
tative of Premier Yuan Shi Kai and
the imperialists at the peace confer
ence. The government also has tele-
graphed to Or. WI Ting Fang. the
leader of the revolutionists at the
peace conference, stating that in the
future it viii negotiate telegraphical-
ly.
The government dec, ies that Tang
Shao vi went beyond his Instructions
when he signed the agreement calling
national convention to decide Oh
the future form of government.
Premier Yuan Shi kai adheres to
the points of his original suggestion
regarding the national convention.
namely. the proper election of dele
gates and that the gathering place
shall be Pekin.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai again Of
fered his resignation this morning bur
II was not accepted. The court also
received round robin" from the
generals commanding the imperalst
troops In the vicinity of pckin, In
which they demanded that the princes
of the imperial clan should Withdraw
their wealth from the foreign banks
ana deliver it into the hands of the
war office.
Prince Ching. the former premier
and foreign minister, received letter
today on hehalf OF the Manchu troops
in the vicinity of Pekin, threatening
to destroy his palace unless the hoard
ed money is delivered to them.
When negotiating recently for "A
foreign loan, Yuan Shi Kai explained
that about $40, 100000 would carry on
the government for six months. BY
that time discord would have ceased
among the rebels in the south ana
the provinces would return gradually
To their allegiance. Yuan Shi kai
now has obtained from the empress
howager more than S2.000,00O which
will permit the carrying on of the
beyond the period when
The rebels have fixed for the assem-
bling of the national convention.
II Is believed here that the lack or
funds among the rebels has inspired
their haste in setting the date for the
national convention.
