MAY RECOVER
BACK TAXES
If Case is Decided For the Taxpayer
Many Can Recover.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. pa suit
tc test the right of a taxpayer to re-
cover money that he has already paid
in to the county in the form of taxes
was brought yesterday afternoon in
the superior court against w. H. VAIN
wright, county treasurer, and the
county of Muskogee. The suit is along
the same line as the numerous injunc-
tons that have been filed in the courts
against the county treasurer to re-
strain him from collecting taxes.
The petition was filed by c. A. Am
brister attorney for F. B. Fite and w.
r. Rowsey, and asks for the recovery
of $91541, which, it is alleged, was
paid in for the first half of the year
in excess of the amount that should
have been collected, owing to the at
ton of the state board of equalization
in raising the assessed valuation Of
the county.

the taxpayers it will be a precedent
upon which the two score or more
taxpayers who have already enjoined
the county can recover thousands Of
dollars that have already been paid in.
The injunctions that have been grant
ed were to restrain the county froIa
collecting the taxes for the last half
of the year.
1t is alleged in the petition that the
assessed value of the property was
raised from s21S,O9O to sS19,6S5. The
taxes assessed for each half of the
year were s2.74614, and they should
have been just two-thirds of this
amount, the petition alleges.
The same persons also ask that an
Injunction be granted against the coun-
|ty treasurer to restrain him from col
lecting $915.41 of the taxes assessed
for the last half of the year.

GORE IS SURE
OF VICTORY
Believes Election Of Wilson But a
Matter of Counting the
Votes.
Believes Election Of Wilson But

New York, Aug. 70. - Senator
Thomas p. Gore, head of the bureau
of organization of the democratic ma
tional campaign committee. gave out
a statement last night analyzing the
political conditions in the different
section OF the country. He predicted
that the popular vote of Governor Will
son would be about the same as that
of President Taft and Colonel Roose-
welt combined, which would give him
a large majority in the electoral col
lege.
West of the Mississippi said Sen
ator Gore, "the race is between Wilson
and Roosevelt, with Taft receiving
enough votes to throw many republi-
can states into the democratic column.
1t seems now that President Taft has
a chance to lead Mr.. Roosevelt in only
three or four states beyond the Missis-
sippi, with the possibility of carrying
not more than two Of these states.
Governor Wilson will have a majority
of the electoral vote west of the Mis-
sippi
East of the Allegheny mountains
the race is between Governor Wilson
and President Taft, with Mr.. Roose-
velt dividing the republican vote sufIl-
ciently to throw several of the large
republican states into the democratic
field. Mr.. Roosevelt will probably
lead President Taft in three states in
this eastern section. with chance of
carrying only one state.
'In the five great states between
the Alleghenies anw the Mississippi
confusion in the republican party is
worse confounded. Chaos runs riot in
