TEDDY ROOSEVELT
IS ENDORSED

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 2l.-By a vote
OF IS to AZ the Roosevelt forces secur-
ed control pf the republican county
convention here Saturday afternoon in
electirg Judge w. G. Robertson for
temporary chairman. and thereafter
the meeting was absolutely in the
control Of the Roosevelt men who put
through program which was not al.
tered IN any respect by reason Of pro-
tests on the part OF the Taft forces.
Ninety delegates win go to the con-
Igressional convention to be held in
Tulsa. March A. instructed to work
for the Endorsement of Theodore
Roosevelt for the presidential nomina-
ton and George c. Priestley for ma
tional committeeman
Attempts to substitute the names of
William II. Taft and Jim Harris for
those Of Roosevelt and Priestly were
voted down by vOj4 of 95 to AZ.
Negro delegates made one or two
attempts to secure better representa-
tion in the convention but these at
tempts failed Their complaint was
that the call stipulated that the basis
of representation should be one vote
for every fifteen cast in the election
for secretary Of state in 1910. The
grandfather clause" prevented many
negroes from voting and it was claim
ed that under the terms of the call the
negroes had only one delegate for
every hundred voters.
The eighteen delegates to the state
convention are also instructed for the
denomination of Roosevelt.
Former territorial Governor Frank
Frantz, was present as a delegate and
was called to the platform for speech
by the convention,
Jim Harris was also present and by
vote of the delegates occupied scat
on the platform. The result did not
surprise Harris, as he had anticipated
a close battle and even looked forward
to defeat of his cause in Muskogee

FIGHTING WILSON.
WITHOUT AVAIL

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26.-Dur
ing the past few days the country has
been flooded with letters and litera-
ture fayoring a certain. one Of the
democratic candidates for the presi.
dency and viciously assailing Governor
Woodrow Wilson, Most of this litera.
ture is being distributed anonymous.
ly from Washington. Democratic
members Of congress who are on the
mailing list have been amazed at the
audacity OF those behind this well
creased aud systematized movement
to boost one of the presidential candi-
dates and assault another. The agency
that is disseminating this literature
is the busiest and most active in Wash.
ington and its operation are plainly
costing thousands of dollars. Nothing
like it has ever before been attempted
in the history of presidential politics.
OF this anonymous literature fac
simile copy of the famous Joline let
ter is featured. Of course there is no
mention of the fact that Mr.. Joline
was an attorney for and associated
with Thomas f. Ryan, but attached
to the facsimile is a note which
bitterly assails Governor Wilson and
urges the nomination of one of the
other democratic candidates for the
presidency. Another of these anony-
nous anti-Wilson documents is ad-
dressed to members of the house, and
purports to be an appeal of north
ern democrat in behalf of a certain
one of the other presidential candi-
dates. This, like the other contribu-
tions, assaults Governor Wilson and
positively asserts that William ].
Bryan will not support him if nominat-
ed. There is nothing on the enclous-
ures or the envelopes in which they
were mailed to indicate from what
source they came. Yet another Of
these anti-Wilson pieces of literature
tat is~being SO widely circulated is in
the form of an eight page printed let
ter from George Fred Williams 1t
also espouses the cause Of one of the
other candidates.
Every assault and there have been.
a great number of them that have been
made on the New Jersey executive dur
ing the past few months-has served
to raise him in public esteem. These.
which are being made anony-
mously through the mails show that
the agencies putting them out are
most generously financed. 1t is the
same old opposition manifesting itself
in a new way. The public has not
been slow to detect the hands of the
Jolines, the Ryans, etc, that have ar
rayed themselves so vigorously against
Governor Wilson.

Cotton Seed Oil Exports From the
United States.

] The growing importance of cotton
seed oil as a factor in international
traffic as well as in domestic consump-
tion is illustrated by the fact that the
Bureau of Statistics has recently added
hat article to its monthly Advance
Bulletin showing exports of leading
articles of domestic production and
now including cotton seed oil, mineral
oils, grain, meats, and food animals.
The bureaus figures show larger value
of cotton seed oil exported in 1911
than in any earlier calendar year in
the history of the trade, the value. of
these expectations irs the year ending
December 81, 1911, being $21 1893, ,157,
against little over 21a million dollars
in 1885, 6h million 1896. 1914 million
in 1905, and s19,S13,823 in 1908, the
former high record year in exports of
this article. For the month of January
alone the value of the exports is near
ly million dollars, suggesting a still
further increase in the total for the
current year. The value of cotton
seed oil exported from the United
States during the decade is consider
ably more than $50 million dollars.
The development of the cotton seed
oil industry in the United States has
been phenomenal The total value Of
the product of cotton seed oil and of
the oil cake and oil cake meal result
ing from its manufacture was. accord
ing to the census of 1880, Az million
dollars; 1890, about 20 million; 1900,
AZ million and 1870 125 million dol
lars. OF crude cotton seed oil only,
the production increased from 54 90
million pounds in 1880 to 30S million
in 1890, 724 million in 1900, and / ,260
million in 1910. That a growing pro-
portion of the enlarged production is
consumed in the United States is evil
dent from the fact that 50 per cent OF
the total output was retained for home
consumption in 1910, against 49 per
cent a decade earlier.
Europe offers the largest market for
the cotton seed oil exported from the
United States, the principal countries
of destination being the Netherlands,
the United Kingdom, Italy, France.
and Germany in Europe; and Mexico
and Canada IN North America To the
Netherlands last years exports aggre-
gated e5 million pounds, or 20 per
cent of the total; to the United King
dom, 5S1s Million or Is per cent; to
Italy, 33% million, or about 10 per
cent; to Mexico, 2Sl1 million, or 9
per cent; to France, q million, or 61s
per cent; to Germany, 151s million, or
Az per cent; and to Canada, 13 mil
lion pounds or A per cent of the total
exports during the calendar year
The increased consumption of cot
ton seed oil liz tEe United States, as
well as the large expectations to for
eign countries, is largely the result of
the rapid extension of the industrial
and other uses to which it is applied
both in this and other countries. Cot
ton seed oil. which has now come to
be recognized as a cheap yet whole
some article of food, is largely used
in the manufacture Of lard compounds,

Firecrackers in the hall, not dynamite
under non union steel jobs were re-
ferred to in a resolution submitted to the
convention of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Ironwork-
ers at Rochester, n. Y. in September
1910. according to a Statement by Frank
NJ Ryan, president of the association to-
day. Ryan had denied the authenticity
of the resolution, the original copy of
which the federal officials investigating
the dynamiting conspiracy assert they
have, but today he recalled, he said, that
the measure proposing that mo more
bombs or explosives of any kind be ex-
ploded while this convention is in ses-
sion'' was introduced.
Delegate Was Having Fun.
'It was just a joke said Ryan, ''and
came about because P. J. NORM of ST.
Louis had put punches of tirecrackers
under the chairs of the delegates and set
them off. The explosion startled all of
us. The resolution went to the resolu-

Brandt Would Not Permit Re-
Election on Woman's Name.
STATEMENT BY COUNSEL
Attorney Argues Hearing Before
Commissioner Is Ill-Advised.
WOULD NOT LIMIT INQUIRY
Attorney for Mr.. Schiff Says He
for Clemency Are False.

NEW YORK, February 20.-"Rather
than see aspersions cast upon the name
of a woman my client would prefer to
suffer in silence in prison.
Mirabeau L. Towns, counsel for Folke
E. Brandt. former valet for Mortimer L..
Schiff. made this statement before Com
missioner Hand today, at the opening OF
the hearing to ascertain whether Brandt
was sent to prison for thirty years as the
result of conspiracy.
Mr.. Towns argued that. in his opinion,
the hearing before a commissioner was
premature and i'll advised, inasmuch as
Brandt was not now convicted of any
crime in view of the recent action of
Judge Rosalsky, the trial judge, in set
ting the sentence aside. In any event,
said Mr.. Towns, it was his desire and
the desire of his client to confine the
hearing to matters relevant to the is
sue"-free from scandal.
Crowd Gathers in Courtroom.
The room was crowded when the hear
ing began. Attorney General Carmody
Whitman for the county and Axel Jo-
sephsoon for the United Swedish Socie-
ties. Howard S. Cans, who was Schif' g
personal counsel when Brandt was con-
victed, was present, accompanied by De
Lancey Nicoll. who said he represented
Schiff. With Mr.. Nicoll was Paul ID.
Cravath.
De Lancey Nicoll, for Mr.. Schiff, con-
tended that the scope of the inquiry
should not be limited. I'VE propose to
show that all of Brandt's contentious
which would entitle to clemency are
false he said. land without going thor
oughly into the case how can We get al
the issues?' -t
Mr.. Nicoll made an impassioned appeal
that Brandt's application to the govern
or for pardon be produced. -.
Calls It Foul Conspiracy.
1--WE will SHOW he declared. that this
man asked for clemency on the ground
that he had never. committed burglary
in the Schiff home. but had gone there at
the invitation of Mrs. schin. We will lay
bare all the details OF the foul conspiracy
demand every paper. every record. every
table family and the reputation of a
virtuous wife and mother"
The commissioner said that the ques-
ton of the scope Of the hearing could be
decided later.
Lieut.. Joseph Woodbridge was called as
the first witness. 1t was he who made
the unfavorable report of Brandt's career
which was submitted to Judge Rosalsky.
Attorney General Carmody read from
Wooldridge's report, saying that Brandt
had been discharged from the employ OF
various families for dishonesty. Today
Woodbridge admitted that he never knew
the persons mentioned in the report as
discharging Brandt. had never visited
their homes and never investigated the
circumstances.
An hours recess was taken, with Wool
dridge still on the stand.
