WOODROW WILSON
IS IN THE LEAD

Washington, D. G.. June 11-With
the action of the North Carolina state
convention, which endorsed the can.
didaey of Governor Woodrow Wilson
in the face Of aggressive opposition,
the work Of selecting delegates to the
Baltimore convention practically came
to an end. All of the states have
chosen delegates with the exception
of Vermont which does not act until
theh eighteenth.
The result of the democratic state
conventions in Minnesota and North
Carolina, both of which declared in
favor of the candidacy of the New
Jersey executive, make it certain that
Governor Wilson will go into the Bal
timore convention with more votes
than any of the other candidates. His
delegate vote to date totals 1868, while
Speaker Clark is second with $40
votes Mr.. Underwood has S6 dele
gates, Governor Harmon S5, Governor
Foss SO, Governor Baldwin IA, Cover
nor Marshall 80, Governor Burke 10,
while there are 142 uninstrueted and
doubtful votes and are contested
The 10 votes given Governor Wilson
by the people of Ohio, and which the
Harmon forces attempted to take by
the adoption of the unit rule, are
claimed for Governor Wilson, whose
friends will resist on the floor of the
Baltimore convention this effort ito
undo the expressed will of the people
Governor Wilson's friends will make
no effort to bind the four Smith dele
gates from New Jersey, and will make
fight at all times for recognition of
the primary principle.

GOLDEN RULE WINS
SHUTOUT GAME

The Golden Rule baseball team won
an easy and decisive victory over the
Milford-Bergers yesterday afternoon,
and the first shut-out of the season by
the score of 10 to 0.
The game started off bad for the
Milford -Bergers and by a series Of
hits the Golden Rule sent in five
scores during their half of the first
inning while their opponents could not
get man past third during the entire
game. The game was fast and full
Of vim up until the fifth inning when
one of the Milford-Bergers team be-
came vexed at the umpire for de-
cision on play at second, and threw
the ball away and allowing the man to
score and then the entire losing team
quit and tie game became farce and
a walk away for the victors. Many
believe the Milford-Bergers would
have won out in spite of the big lead
against them had they played base
ball and not proved themselves such
hard losers" The base ball fans of
this city like good baseball but such
contests as the one yesterday will not
attract very large crowds to witness
them.

EAST OKLAHOMA
MADE VERY DRY
Prohibition Of Liquor Shipments Into
Eastern Oklahoma effective
Indians Still Wards.

Washington, June 10. AS in the
early days, the eastern section of Ok
side of the state will be as dry as the
Sahara desert as the result OF an opin-
ion handed down today by the United
States supreme court which was pre-
pared by Justice Pitney.
The court held that federal prohibit
ton of the transportation Of intoxicat-
ing liquor into eastern Oklahoma or
the old Indian territory was still eff
feetive and that persons convicted of
importing liquors should be liable to
the same punishment administered be-
fore statehood The supreme court
maintained that the enabling act gave
Oklahoma the right to regulate purely
interstate liquor traffic, but maintain
ed that the federal government still
had the right, it being the original and
real guardian of the Indians, to enforce
the clause governing the interstate in
PRODUCTION of liquor into the eastern
side.
The enabling act provided strict pro-
hibition should reign in the old Indian
territory for period of twenty-one
years, and this provision also was
placed in the state constitution by the
constitutional convention.
The opinion handed down today is
one of the most important that has
been given in oklahoma cases this
winter
Stops Heavy Traffic.
Since statehood there always has
been question as to the governments
right to prevent interstate shipments.
and as result it is declared that
liquor traffic has been carried on free
ly and that thousands Of people who
were handicapped in obtaining. liquor
within the state purchased outside and
had 1t shipped in by express,
1t is estimated that hundreds of
thousands Of dollars worth OF liquors
have been sent into the state on the
eastern side alone every year Owing
to the severe punishment provided un-
der the old federal regulations which
through the opinion OF the court still
are in effect, these shipments are sure
to be curtailed almost to nothing, for
anyone caught introducing liquors on
the east side can be thrown y jail and
heavily fined. In fact, there is no es-
cape from the jail sentence il one is
caught.
In the olden days on the eastern
side there were many cases where peo-
pie entering the territory from neigh
boring states and who carried liquor

May Gust Prohibition.

The belief prevails among several
Oklahomans in Washington that the
opinion Of the supreme court today in
the Charley Webb case, which will de-
prive most of the residents on the east
side OF their toddies and juleps, high
balls and other medical drinks, will
lead to a movement to repeal the state
prohibition law. And this feature of
the case is being seriously considered
too. With the repeal of the prohibit
tion law, it is declared, liquor could
be sent into or made in the western
side of Oklahoma and then shipped
into the eastern side. it then being un-
der the classification ntrastates. An
interesting point, it is declared, then
surely would arise, that of whether
the federal government could officially
recognize the old Indian territory line
separating the eastern and western
portions of the state.
Even under today's ruling, there is
some doubt as to this situation. Al
though the western section of the
state is under state prohibition, liquor
is shipped in from other states and
much speculation has been aroused as
to whether this can be carried into
the eastern section of the state and
across the old territory border with
out federal interference.

streets they raised a perfect fog of
dust that was annoying to those in
the procession and maddening to the
housewives along the streets. The
chuck holes and the cross walks
made travel at even moderate rate
Of speed impossible.
Now it so happens that steps have
already been taken by the city ad-
ministration towards providing
hard surface driveway to the edge of
the city. The plan will go through
unless it is blocked by a remon-
strance. 1t should not be blocked.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
north side streets be improved. This
being the case the only question is
as to the class of Improvement. Shall
a permanent, hard surface driveway
be provided or shall the streets be
macadamized. 1t is a point that
should be easy of decision. a hard
surface street is SO much superior
fer city purposes, is so much cleaner
and so much more durable than ma
oadam as to make the contest 4 very
one sided affair.
1t is true that the price of paving

given its influence to work alongst this
line. It should be pretty safe, how
ever, to leave that matter with the
administration. Mayor Matlock i;
himself one of the largest property
owners on Raley street and it is evi-
dent that from a standpoint of sell
interest as we'll as duty he will strive
for the lowest price o6tainable OF
street work.

CHEAPER no OWN IT.

Hereafter Pendleton will have GO
arc lights instead of 40 and they will
b. provided at a price $3.50 a month
cheaper per light than in the past.
1t will be saving to the city and it
arises from indirect regulation result
ing from free criticism of the trust
and its methods. But there are good
reasons for thinking the light COM
pany should give a still lower rate
to the city. The city government
alone pays the Pacific Power &
Light company in round numbers
$4,000 a year for street lights and
pumping. 1t is a sum sufficient to
pay five per cent interest on an in
vestment of $160,OOO. Yet John T.
Whistler a conservative engineer,
estimates that for $4,000 Pendle-
ton may establish a municipal cleo
tric plant large enough to supply the
present needs of the entire city and
also pay for bringing the current
here from the Walla Walla river and
for installing local distributing
system 1t would be cheaper to own
the plant than to pay rent.

But why not? Very frequently home
problems are involved in elections.
This is particularly true in city cleo
tIons. The city government has much
to do with home affairs. 1t has to
do with the regulation of moral con-
ditions and the guarding of children.
It has to do with sanitary affairs.

the cleaning of streets. It has to do

THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

There is some talk of a third po-
litical party. The colonel is accused
CT having already threatened to bolt
the g. O. p. if Taft is renominated by
questionable means. Roosevelt how
ever denies the allegation and it is
hardly reasonable to suppose he has
any third party notions. At the
same time it is entirely possible that
out of this years presidential fight
there may come about a condition
that will not merely justify a third
party but may even make such a
party almost inevitable. The thing
will be decided at the democratic ma
ticnal convention. The fight for con-
troll in the republican party is going
IL be won by Taft and the reaction
aries. 1t now remains to be seen
whether or not the standpatters can
dominate the democratic party also.
If they do and name as the demo-
cratic candidate for president a
standpatter or one who iS satisfactory
to the standpatters there will be but
one course open to the progressives
They will have to form a new party
if they want to give expression tc
their sentiments.
But it is hardly conceivable thu
democrats will go into the reaction
airy fold this year.

MAP OF GAS MAINS
APPROVED BY COUNCIL
Map Submitted by Engineer St. John
Shows Streets to be Traver-
sed by the Gas Mains.

The city council met in adjourn
ed session Tuesday night to rear
range the tax levy for 1912. The
levy of $120 on the 500 worth of
property remains the same, but ic
was necessary to make some changes
in the rates on the several bond-'s-
sues 1t was found that this must
be done in order to take care of the
proposed issue for street paving.
Engineer st John of the Waxa-
hachie Gas Company submitted
map of the city showing the streets
which had been designated for the
gas mains and laterals to traverse.
Mr.. St John explained that as the
city was planning to begin paving
the streets 1t was imperative that the
company know which streets they
would be permitted to use in order
that the mains might be put under
ground before the paving was be-
gun. The map was approved by tbs
council and Mr.. St John was IN
structed to proceed with this work.
Some time ago the council was pc
titioned to raise the salaries OF two
of the drivers at the fire station, The
committee recommended the sal
aries remain the same, and further
recommended that Reese Sanford be
made foreman of the hook and lad
der wagon and Jim Anderson driver
of the hose wagon. A recommends
ton was also made that the roof OF
the city hall be looked after and
needed repairs be made.
