Princeton, N. j., Nov ia. President

Wednesday night in speaking Of the
tariff and the monopoly question, that
he purposed to carry out the pledges
he made in his campaign speeches, to
cut special privilege out Of tariff
schedules, prevent unfair competition
in business and to destroy private mo
nopoly
The president-elect had been asked
whether the big correspondence he re-
ceived after his election contained any
inquiries as to his attitude On the
tariff or monopoly problems.
Most Of the letters he replied,
were Of a congratulatory nature.
There are some cabinet suggestions,
but nobody seems to think 1T necessary
to ask questions about the tariff or
the monopolies"
DO you mean people take it for
granted you win carry out the pledges
made in your campaign speeches?" he
was asked
"Yes, they certainly viii be carried

In his campaign speeches. the gov

the tariff should be undertaken imme-
diately.
It is believed that this idea now will
find expression in a call for an extra
session Of congress to consider the
tariff question, as well as other sub
iects which were issues in the cam
paign just closed.
Gov Wilson now has ID hand a

Sportsmen Hold Mass Meeting
to Protest Against the State
Trapping Quail for
Propagating
WIEL APPEAL TO
STATE AUTHORITIES
Appoint Committee to Carry
Complaint to Governor and
Warden Grady County
Birds for Grady"


A mass meeting was held yesterday
afternoon in the offices Of Judge Lynn
by representatives Of the citizens and
sportsmen Of Chickasha for the pur.
pose OF deciding upon some action to
prevent the netting and trapping Of
Grady county game birds, which, it is
alleged, was pursued last year with
vigor and that such intentions are
rife this season is evidenced by prep
arations which have been made for
this method Of bagging game
The men who operated last year,
did SO according to law and with
permit or license from the state game
warden. These netted birds were
shipped to Oklahoma City in great
quantities Under the law, game
birds can be shipped by the state
game warden, in or out Of the state,
for propagatng purposes and appar-
emily birds were netted and shipped
through orders for this purpose. How
ever the Grady county hunters are
not content to sit idly and see all the
quail netted, trapped and shipped to
Oklahoma City hence the indignation
meeting.
B. p. Barefoot was elected chairman
Of the meeting and a vigorous fight
against the outrage was planned. Most
OF the operations were in the vicinity
Of Rush Springs last year and men
from that section state that certain
parties are shipping in nets and traps
to open the campaign against our old
friend, Bob White, at once. Last sea-
son these operations did not begin
until after Christmas, but u is evident
that thus beginning at the bell tap.
which opens the season, it means moth
ihs short Of the determination Of the
quail in whatever section the trappers
operate. Arvording to statements
made at the meeting, not only is this
restricting the privileges Of the hunt
er, but it is imposing a hardship on
the farmer, and county officials. law
yers and business men Of Chlckasha,
as wen as farmers from every section
Of the county, are now working in CO.
operation to save Grady county quill
to Grady county people.
Upon a motion Of County Attorney
j. II Venabe a, committee composed
OF B. B Barefoot Jacob Goode and
Harry Hammerly was appointed to
take the matter up with the state
game warden and Gov. Lee Cruee by
phone this morning, and if this fails.
the names OF the trappers win be Sc
cured and applications for iniunctions
against them will be asked and the
proceedings viii be so vigorously pur.
sued in the courts as to restrict them
from operation until late in the sea
son, If not for the entire open season.
Several lawyers present offered their
services free Of charge in prosecuting
such cages and the trappers will be-
fought to a standstill.
