ley stood and probably break up the
convention in riot.
The convention had been trying
ordeal for Mckinley, but in the main
he forced an Endorsement of Taft and
by the skin of his teeth he managed
to hold the ticket together.
But, Notwithstanding this apparent
victory for Mckinley and the Taft
forces, the sentiment of the delegates,
and especially of the candidates, was
lukewarm. There was no enthu-
siasm over any proposition, and eff
forts to start demonstration when
Hadley appeared was as amusing as
they were ineffective.

able relic-peculiar even to this Sec

Bills as he was riding across jose

and ball buffalo gun of the Hawkins
make. These rifles were popular in
the very earliest days of the West,
but they are now even scarcer than
the buffalo. The woodwork had en-
tirely rotted away, but on the barrel,
which was in fairly good state of
preservation, could be distinguished

of an Indian.

MHAT BALLOTS
ARE DEFECTIVE

Oklahoma City. Okla, Oct, 25.-For
several days past Secretary Riley OF
the board of election commissioners
has been busy distributing the state
ballots for the approaching election.
The state ballot is printed under the
direction of the various county boards
Thus there is always in state elections
two distinct ballots, the state ballot
and the county ballot. The state bal.
10 contains the names of the candi-
dates for presidential election. for
United States senator, members of
congress and all state officers includ-
ing the members of the house and SEN
ate. The state ballot also contains the
| state questions to be submitted under
the initiative, or referendum. The
county ballot contains the names of all
county candidates except the candi-
dates for the house of representatives
and the senate, which are on the state
ballot.
Attorney General West has given
Secretary Riley an elaborate opinion
as to what sort of ballots are defective
and what sort of ballots should be
counted. The gist of the attorney gen.
erals ruling is that any marking of
the ballot that shows the intent of the
voter doac moi r,olyo - i, ,,,,,.;1a.1 r.,
lot and that where the intent of the
voter is clear even as TO a part of the
ballot, the ballot should be counted to
this extent. According to the attorney
generals opinion some ballots which
inspectors have heretofore thrown out
as mutilated should be counted.
The opinion is very long and goes
into very great details, but the sum of
it all is that ballot should be thrown
out as mutilated only when it is so
marked as to fail to show the intent !

democrats to mark the ballot is to /
