Be Sent From Here to
Western Prisons.

Sentences aggregating 1341s years
will be served by twenty-three prison
ers to be transported west from the
District jail tomorrow. Twenty lone
men, fifteen negroes and six whites, will
be taken to the federal prison at Leaven-
worth. while two negro women will be
taken to Lansing. The departure of the
prisoners tomorrow will free the Jail Of
all convicted prisoners under sentence to

Four other conyicts are defendants in

backs" here today by a score of 13 to
Il.
The heavier team of Arkansas was
at all times during the game helpless
before the battering rushes of the fast
Oklahoma squad.
The play was marked by the ex-
change of punts and the use of the for
ward pass. With May kicking for Ar
kansas, III looked as if he would punt
"a victory for Arkansas, but the little
Oklahoma quarterback always carried
the BAH back to within ten yards of
where it was put in play Arkansas
depended on their .pass line plays but
the interference was defective and
most of the plays were broken UP be-
fore they got across the line of scrim-
mage Oklahoma's standby was a
mass play off right end With shan
non cauving the ball. This play was
made nepeatedly for gains OF 20 to 60
yards.
If this game is to be an accurate
gauge, it seems as if the Aggies have
chance at the southwest champion
ship.
The stars of the game were Rusty
May for Arkansas and Marker (eapt)
Shannon and Schrieber of Oklahoma
The game was played wholly in Ar

seven minutes of the second quarter

To the Democrats of Oklahoma.
The national democratic committee
has designated November 2nd, 1912,
as Wilson and Marshall Day, and re-
quested that the democratic organiza-
tions in each state of our great union
hold as many meetings as possible on
the afternoon and evening of that day,
at which time a special message will
be read from the next president, the
Honorable Woodrow Wilson To this
end we most earnestly request that
all democrats in the State Of Okla
homa arrange precinct meetings in
the afternoon, and such meetings as
may be advisable at night in keeping
with this call, and that you impress
upon all your friends that November
2nd, 1912, will go down in history as
Wilson and Marshall Day, the day
upon which the hosts of democracy
of America will sound the battle call
that will mean glorious democratic
victory on the 5th of November

marched to the w. o. w. hall where

school grounds between the high
school and the town boys The game
was interesting from the time that the
first ball was thrown into the air until
time was called at the end of the game
There was vim in the game that was
the admiration of all visitors, although
many saw the game for the first time.
Many of the large crowd of spectators
became enthused over the game, and
as consequence basket ball will be
much in evidence in our part of the
county. The players for the school
were Marvin Henley. Earl odell, James

Kensington News (The West Lon
don Times), Nov. goth, 1908: Mr., Basil
Gauntlet made his London debut on
the 18th inst, at Steinway Hall, when
he proved himself to be pianist of
high merit, and met with most ap-
preciative welcome from a crowded
audience. Mr. Gauntlett has at his
command splendid technique, a firm,
precise touch, coupled with rare
suppleness of wrist. His playing show
ed dignity and brilliancy, and his tours
de force in the Brahms Variations
were very striking. But it was in the
Campehella of List that Mr.. Gaunt-
lett made his greatest hit. In this his
technique showed full advantage.
Clear, elegant, brilliant, the rush of
his performance carried his audience
by storm and the artist was recalled
many times. ~

The Labor Field.

The objection is raised" said the
governor, that eonvicts would be
brought into competition with free
labor. They were in competition with
free labor before they were convicted,
But there are many enterprises where
they would not compete with free
aabor and could still pay their own
maintenance. He mentioned the man

factory in the state and its manufac-

hewould cut that used in maintain
ing three of the state normals, both
preparatory schools and five of the dis
tric1 schools of agriculture; this in
spite of the fact that he was speaking
in a town where one of the schools
is located The Panhandle school, he
said should be maintained. One of
the chief causes for high taxes he de-
clared is that people of Oklahoma
have attempted to make public inn

But if you mean business in this

goodness sake quit talking about
something away off yonder and begin
at home Either quit boosting your

True Economy Plan.

LaWton, Okla, Oct 20,-~There are
just twice too many Offices in this
state, nearly twice as many institu-
tions of higher learning as Oklahoma
really needs and the people are paying
$275. 600 every year for the mainten-
lance of penal institutions when they
should not spend one cent for that pur-
Ipose,' said Governor Cruce to the peo-
pie of Lawton Saturday night. lie
would abolish all township offices, con
solidate all county clerkships into one
office with register of deeds thrown
in; consolidate sheriff an dtreasurer or
assessor and treasurer; abolish aia
superior courts and reditrict the state
so that but twenty district judges
would be needed where there are NOW
thirty-one.
But | would not stop there he
said. There are half dozen state
officers that could be eliminated" The
only one he mentioned was state prin-
ter.
'I'll not mention any more" he said,
for | see nay friend Charley Ham
monds getting nervous and don't
want to embarrass him here at home.
Two hundred and seventy-five thou
sand dollars is spent every year on
penal Institutions, $565,000 on exec
mosynary, $756,000 on schools of
higher learning, 100000 for state gov
ernment. The elimination of some
state officers would cut that for state
government The $4,000 for elee-
mosynary institutions is fixed charge

in paying for keeping oar convicts in
