At least this is the advance dope
which was given out Saturday evenin
by private wires addressed to Local

1t will be remembered that A.
torney General West gave out an
opinion some weeks ago that anyone
irrespective of political affiliatiou
could vote in the ensuing democratic
primaries without elgal let or hin
drance. The matter was taken up
from an oklahoma county, as a test

person voting in n primary will have
to vote for the candidate upon the
same ticket to which he will pin his
allegiance next November.

ASKS RESIGNATION
Of BOARD MEMBERS

Oklahoma City, Okla, luly 2S.--
Governor Cluce his afternoon sent
letters to W. Il. Brandenburg o. ;:liS
city, Scott Glenn Of Shawnee, o. f..

Jop. members OF the state board OF
education. asking for their resigna'
tions Immediately from the board.
The governors course follows the
action u the board today in going
ahead and letting the contracts for
the textbooks of the state. The action
of the governor caused no little con
sternation among the members lor
the board affected Chairman X. u,
Wilson of the board. who is state sl-
perintendent. has held firmly to the
position that the board should go
ahead and let the contracts, bnt tn"
governor has held that they should
wait. He made a last request Friday
evening that they abide by his wishes
When the matter came mp in the
board today they took a vote on that
proposition. Five members voted to
Wccead with making the contracts
ana ]. +. Warren Of this city and w
\. Rowsey Of MuskoGee the other two
members Of the board, voted on the
governors side.
Chairman Wilson OF the board
when informed of what had been
done. would not make any statement
Neither will any of the members af
fected say anything about it tonight
State Treasurer Dunlop left for
his home in Kay county Saturday
afternoon, and none of the other
members who were asked to resign
would make a statement relative 10
their intentions. 1t is intimated
however, that they will attempt to
serve in spite of the governors de
mand for their designations. On the
other hand, it is rumored that the
governor simply will pull the testi-
mony taken in the investigation held
last August, and make the removal
in some cases at least, for cause.
Governor Made it Strong.
The governors letter left no doubt
as to where he stands. The letters
sent to the four members were iden-
tical. He declared that the present
situation, wherein four members alb
solutely refused to consider a re-
quest made by the man who appoint
ed them, is simply inconceivable.
The matter is one in which his ad-
mnistration is vitally interested, he
declared, and it was only after he
had given the question his mature
judgment that he made request
that action on the contracts be de-
ferred.
He declared that he felt that he
woufd not be doing his duty by the
school children OF this state if he
let matters drift as they have in
the past and said that something
was necessary to relieve the situa-
ton.
-our immediate resignation is
requested the letter concluded in
effect Pour successor will be ap
pointed at once

Lawyer and Client
What would you think OF a lawyer
who advised his client to bring 23S
suits knowing there was justice, If in
any, al least in only seventy-eisht?
Would not such Il course prejudice
the most Just court on earth? But
that is precisely what Col. Roosevelt's
lawyers did in the case of the repub-
lican national committee. Why? They
knew the revelation of the fraudu-
lent character of their cases in cnc
case after another must prejudice rno
court AGAINST them and thus tend to
lose any of their cases which pos
sessed merit.
course? No. They were wise, If M
scrupulous, politicians. They cae;n,
not seeking equity, but political ad-
vantage. They knew none of their
cases possessed merit. Bnt they
sought to deceive the public--not to
convince the court. They believed
that by instituting and pressing many
fraudulent contests they could either
induce the committee as a matter of
political eXpediency TO admit som"
fake contestants rather than reject
them ali, or compel the committee to
reject them all in order that they
might deceive the public in believing
that steam roller methods had been
used. The correctness Of this reas-
oning will be shown by the full state
ment Of the facts.

CRISIS AT THE PEACE CONFERENCE
Will Be Reached at Todays Sesson-Ales Have No Power to Consider Demand of Turks For Provisioning of Adr- anople-Aies Profess to be Fully Prepared to Reopen Hostities and Turks Prefer War to Yielding Adrianople

London. Dec. 22-The crisis of the peace conference will be reached at the session tomorrow. If the Turks de- eide to wave their demand for the revictualing of Adrianople the allies will present their terms of peace. The conference can then proceed to the discussion of it's real business.
 The Turkish cabinet met today and telegraphed instructions to the Otto man delegation. All the delegations held conferences at their hotels and dispatched long cipher teiegrams to their governments.
 Would Give Turks Great Advantage.
 The allies. oppose tho Turkish re- quest for the provisioning of Adrian ople, not only for the reason that this would give the enemy a great advan- tage in event of the resumption of fighting which would not have been earned by arms but on technical grounds, but because the delegates have not the power to reopen military questions which the Tchatalja con ferees who signed the armistice, dealt with.
 Powers Counsel Peace.
 The opening of another chapter of warfare is a step which the allies do not invite but for which they profess to be fully prepared. While suspicion exists that the Turks have been spar ring to gain time since the conference assembled ten days ago. the consensus of opinion is that the Turkish gov ernment will recognize the situation and conclude peace and that the po- litical situation in Constantinople die tates that course. The advice which the principal powers have been giv- ing to Turkey is in the direction of peace.
 Allies Ready to Resume War. The Bulgarians declare that if the Turks are not ready to come to terms and if none of the powers offers ac- l ceptable mediation the allies are ready | to resume the war immediately with | fresh ardor, greater vigor and deep | CT feeling that they will achieve ul- l timate victory, because as they them selves express 1t, they "are fighting not only for. the independence of the l Balkans but for western civilization | against the traditional eastern enemy a5o,ooo Men Between Adrianople anc l TchataIia.

ATTACK ON TENEDOS. Turks Make a Demonstration, Greek
 Squadron in Pursuit.

Athens. Dec. 22.-The governor of Tenedos in despatches today reports that the Turkish battleship Torgut Refs. the cruiser Medjidieh and three destroyers appeared at II o'clock this morning before the entrance to the Dardanelles. The warships remained under the protection of the forts; the destroyers advanced and fired twenty shells on Tenedos where the Turkish inhabitants tried to hoist the Turkish flag and put off in boats to welcome the Warships.
 The small force of Greek bluejackets on the island fired on the mutineers, killing three of them and wounding twelve. The Turkish shells did no damage and the destroyers quickly re- tired into the Dardanelles.
 The Greek squadron anchored off Lemnos, was notified and steamed in pursuit of the enemy headed by the admirars flagship. The governor of Tenedos has been ordered to insti- ute martial law.

LIME IN CURTAINS.

When washing new curtains you will generally find that they are full of lime. A great deal of trouble may be saved by soaking the curtains over night in water in which a little salt has been dissolved. The salt draws out the lime and makes 'the curtains quite easy to wash, without too much rubbing and soap.
