MAY POSTPONE
THE CONVENTION

Washington, d. c., Feb. 27. Sena-
tor Bacon of georgia, one of the dem
ocratic leaders in the senate, Tues
day declared in favor of postponing
the democratic convention in Balti-
more which has been called for June
25 until later date, because as now
arranged it would be held only week
after the republican convention in Chi
cage.
"The entrance of Mr. Roosevelt to
the contest for the republican nomina-
ton to the presidency" said Senator
Bacon, has complicated things that
! think the democratic national COM
mittee should take steps to postpone
the time for holding the democratic
, convention
"The republican convention is call
ca for June 1s, and the democratic
convention June 25, just week later
At best there cannot be more thar
three days between the adjournment
OF the republican convention and tht
meeting of the democratic convention
Who knows that there will not bt
such a conflict of views as to thu
platform and aspirations of candidates
as to prolong the republican conven
ton beyond the time of the meeting
of democratic convention? In tha
event the democrats would be in nj
position to give proper consideration
of this situation and l think the meet
ing of our convention should be de
ferred for two or three weeks, beyon'
the date now fixed, to insure such a
opportunity, in case it is presented.

Tell Of a Letter to Taft.

Washington, D. c., Feb, 26.-The an
nouncement of Colonel Roosevelt's
willingness TO accept the presidential
nomination and his consequent open
break with President Taft was de-
clared here tonight to have removed
a picturesque possibility in connection
with the threatened trouble in Mex
leo.
Senators who claimed to be conyer
sant with the facts stated that just
about a year ago, when the Madero
revolution was at its height in Mexico
and the possibility of American inter
lvention was being discussed Colonel
Roosevelt wrote letter to President
Taft volunteering to head a regiment
of cavalry which was to be in the
forefront of the invading force.
Colonel Roosevelt, it is said, stipu-
lated that his subordinate officers were
to be Of his own choosing, and went so
far as TO name some of the men he
would select These included Col
Cecil A. Lyon, republican national
committeeman of Texas; Jack Aber-
nathy, the wolf strangling former mar
shall of Oklahoma; Sloan Simpson Of
Texas ana a "r0ughrider;" James
Sloan. Jr., secret service agent, now
with, President Taft, and several mem
bers Of the old "roughrider" regiment
of the Cuban war.

Taft asking to be placed in command

IL Mexico was addressed Dear VIII,
according to those who claim to have
lseen the document.
President Taft's reply was address,

OF $4,000
Yeeemen Crack Safe, Secure 5000.
And Make Clean Getaway
Cut Wires.

sapulpa, Okla, Feb 26.-Posses
Monday night are securing the hills
of Creek county searching for the two
bank robbers who early Monday morn
ing cracked the safe of the Guarantee
State bank at Keifer, four miles south
of Sapulpa and secured $4,000 making
good their getaway. There is no trace
of the direction which they took in
leaving the town, although it is known
they had horses, and no definite clue
as to their identity
The robbery took place about z
o'clock in the morning The yegg
men first bored two holes in the safe
and then touched off one load of nitro
glycerine. This awakened a woman
living nearby and she gave the alarm
Immediately but the robbers were
gone before citizens reached the bank.
The office furniture was mass OF
wreckage and bank papers we're scat
tered all over the I'd q ~ F

Before starting on - ~
robbers cut all the te lne - ss.s

made their early apprehension in other
cities impossible.
The bank recently changed hands
and most of the stock now is owned
by Banker Orr Of Tulsa. The institu-
ton was insured against burglary.
