OKLAHOMA GlTY
WINS CAPITAL

Oklahoma City, Nov. S.-Returns
from SO counties out of 76 in Okla.
homa, rs Of them complete shows that
a vote of 72.45S was polled against
the bill to remove the capital to Guth-
re, while 1878 were cast in favor of
the measure, giving majority against
the bill of 22,540 votes. OF the re-
naming counties to be heard from, it
is certain that more than half will re-
turn a majority in favor of Oklahoma
City, thus increasing the majority. It
is believed this finally will amount to
more than 10000 votes.
The returns have been coming in
unusually slow on account of the capi-
tai question because of the fact that
in nearly every county the election
board canvassed the vote on state and
county tickets before touching the pro
posed constitutional amendments.
The largest majority for the bill out
side ofLogan county was in Muskogee
county where 4,243 votes were regis.
tered in favor of the capital removal
and only 7OS against. In Garfield
county, another large majority was
shown, 1868 in favor of the removal
and 1894 against. Tulsa county voted
in favor of Guthrie by a majority OF
1900.
For some unaccountable reason, the
vote never has been announced from
Logan county Newspaper men say il
lis impossible to secure the returns
there which indicate that they are be
ing held back by election officials.
Oklahoma City is proving strong in
a number Of counties which Wednes
day night were conceded to Guthrie
by the local campaign committee
This indicates that the majority will
increase materially from this time un
til the total vote is announced by the
state election board.

right. Why indeed should one speak
of the law of God rather than His
Justice? Sinners can insult the Holy
Ghost just one time too much. Tor God
says, There is coming day when I
will not hear it," Jufidelity is only
cloak for sin, and unbelief is state
which follows because of the habitual
practice of sin. Look into the life of
any infidel or unbeliever, and there
will be found the darkest kind of
iniquity.
There are SO many people who have
"One of them things called conscience
and don't want it disturbed as a
man said at one time when DR.. Bulgin
had been preaching a series of sermons
on conscience. Rather would they let
it sleep so they can be comfortable in
their evil doing, for conscience is ever
at war with the wrong men, and will
not rest when it is being constantly
disturbed by the truth
God cannot save man who refuses
to repent and fights the word of God
because it fights his sin Man is made
to think of the subject seriously by be-
ing given enlightenment on it. What
he is asked to do is not unreasonable.
Man tears down enlightenment and
sins wilfully, and soon the conscience
becomes so numbed that they cease to
care Man is given the heavenly gift
of Jesus Christ and made partaker of
the Holy Ghost He is also brought
to think of Immortality by
knowing he has longings after God
There is no man or woman who does
mot hear the voice Of conscience. al
though it is beaten back and stilled by
every action of the life, it will at times
come again to warn the sinner of his
danger, until worn out by the hard
mess of the heart, the voice is stilled
forever Surely there were many last
might who have never thought of this
just in this way; have never thought
that the day would come when the
game played too far had lost to them
forever this still small voice which
speaks no longer. Even though no
confession may be made now this ser
mon surely will do much toward keep
ing alive the voice of conscience in
the hearts of those who heard it, and
by seeking for the truth the day may
come when all doubt will pass away
and the soul find peace at last with
the God of Justice and of right.

Under this situation, the party is in

would be that congress be given op-

possible to place in operation the plat

democratic ideas upon which the party
won this victory To delay the in

that late gains in Illinois have thrown
that state to Wilson, and leaving only
Wyoming in the doubtful column. the
democratic nominee has been elected
president by 439 electoral votes, ac-
cording to returns received tonight
THE same figures show he carried
thirty-nine states.
California for Wilson.
That Illinois was safely in the VIII
sou column was indicated early in the
evening, but California, which had
beennclaimed by the democrats shortly
after the closing of the polls, wayered
for a short time toward the progress

ever, early in the evening, again start

remote precincts which are usually
democratic, and the Wilson lead seem

After apparently holding Illinois for
nearly forty hours from the time the
polls closed, Colonel Roosevelt lost its
twenty-nine electoral votes late in the
day when the assembling of statewide
returns showed q definite victory for
Governor Wilson.
An Estimate OF Popular Votes.
On the strength of incomplete re-
turns as to the popular vote for Will

was made tonight by the Associated
Press that Governor Wilson would not
have majority OF all votes cast In
many states the popular vote has been
only roughly estimate thus far, but the
reports indicate that the combined
vote of Roosevelt and Taft will be ap-
proximatley one million more than the
vote Of Governor Wilson
The figures viii be materially chang

THE proportion Of each candidate will
mot vary greatly The preliminary
count gives Wilson approximately 46
Iper cent of the vote, Roosevelt 80 per
Icent and Taft 25 per cent The total
Ivote thus far reported Is less than in
Ii90S, while official returns are expect
ed to bring II above those figures. In
1905, out of combined vote of Ia

dent Taft received over 54 per cent.

MEANS PICKS WRONG MAN.
(From Denver Express.l

lfrOm Denver ExpreSS.J
Accused in open meeting of besmirch-
ing the ideals and principles of organ
lied labor in patronizing non-union res
taurants, R. P. Means, delegate to the
Trades Assembly from the Topographic
cal union, attacked F. w. Hamilton of
the Laundry Workers union and en-
gagged in a fist brawl at the close of Sun
days meeting.
Means not only picked an innocent
party to the affair, but he also picked
the wrong man from a physical stand
point When his friends saw that his
face was taking on the crimson hue of
the first rose of summer" they pre-
vented Hamilton from finishing him.
In making a general report to the as
sembly from his union, Hamilton stated
that charges would be filed today against
several members of the Musicians union
who were patronizing "scab" laundries.
But one name was mentioned, that OF
Frank Spiegl. He also touched on the
inconsistency of delegates patronizing
unfair restaurants, etc.
This was followed by a report from
English" Farrell, who accused Means
and several other delegates" with visit
ing Bartons. Means made no attempt
to deny the allegation in the meeting.
Hamilton was stopped on his way out
of the hall A fight followed. Hamilton
came out of the ARRAY with sprained

LeeuEN SPEAKS BEFORE HOUSE.

Carl Iegien, who is now making
speaking tour of the United States under
the auspices of the American Federation
of Labor, delivered a short speech be-
fore the members of the lower house in
congress on Saturday, April 20. Chair
man w. B. Wilson of the labor commit
tee, made the motion for a recess in
order that Mr.. Legien might address the
house, the usual custom being followed
in the motion. The following is Mr.. Le-
gien's address, which was delivered in
German and translated by his secretary
Mr. Baumiester: Permit me to state
that the organized workers do not only
stand for progress in their respective
countries, but also are the strongest ad-
vocates of peace among nations. Our
party in the German reichstag has often
brought pressure upon the government
to avert war by getting into friendly
communication with our neighboring
countries. Our party has consistently
opposed the policy of increasing arma-
ments. The labor movement the world
over aims to bring about universal peace
instead of allowing nations to rival with
each other in securing the latest weapons
to murder each other. Our labor move
ment has for years furthered legislation
for the protection of workers, education
and the general uplift of humanity. We
are full of hope when we note that the
same efforts are being directed in every
civilized land. Such legislation fosters
good will and peace among nations and
will make it possible for the human race
to achieve the highest state of civilza-
tion. Again, thank you" AT the
banquet rendered Mr.. Legien on the even
ing of the 18th by the Central Labor
Union of Washington he was presented
with a gold watch as a memento of his
visit in the capital CITY

purely personal. Mrs. Elinor Carlisle,

George is a member of Local No. of

let me tell you there is only one Hen
rietta Crossman. She is presenting
problem play, called "The Real Thing" ;"
would like to criticise it, but if | did l
would only get into an argument with
Judge Lindsey and possibly with Miss
Crossman. Anyway, it's great play,
and everybody ought to see it. 1t deals
with the subject of prostitution. There
are different kinds of prostitution. This
one deals of a wife prostituting herself
to her children and her house to the
detriment of her husbands welfare. But
Widow Crossman straightens out the
tangle She is a great Crossman and
George Scotty puts on the show. AL.

fondles the juice by which the electric
