RiIey's Ruling to Prevail Here.

Mr. Montgomery said that unless he
gets some new instructions Mr.. Riley's
ruling would be the law in Muskogee
county and a man will only be allow
ed to vote at the primaries as he reg
listers. Saturday evening the Times
Democrat published Mr. Riley5s opin-
ion as to who would be permitted to
vote at the primaries. The opinion as
published is similar to the one rem
dered to the Bartlesyille board of elec-
tions and was given out by Mr.. Riley
when he was in Muskogee taking part
in the mandamus suit brought by At
torney General West which had as its
object the denying of negroes the right
to register. Mr.. West and Mr.. Riley
came to Muskogee together and were
with one another when Mr. Riley gave
the opinion to Secretary Montgomery
of the Muskogee county election board.
Mr. Riley said that the opinion was
the law of the state and by inference
at least it was understood that he
would be supported by Mr. West.
In a written communication receiv-
ed from Mr. West today, however, the
attorney general wants it understood
that he does not agree with Secretary
Riley of the state election board. In
his communication Mr. West writes as
follows = do not know what Mr..
Riley's opinion is, but | do know that
mine is quite to the contrary of the
position stated. 1 think that when an
elector presents himself to vote he.
irrespective Of past party affiliations,
has the right to vote any one ticket
that he may call for" Mr. West con-
cludes by saying that there is a mis-
apprehension among the voters and he
wants this corrected Accompanying
the letter is copy of an opinion given
to G. w. Lewis, ST., of Texola in which
Mr. West holds that voters are not
bound by past party Affiliations but
are free to participate in any primary.
Muskogec election officers do not
dispute with Mr. West over the right
of man to change his politics and
they say that he can easily Indicate
this in cities where he registers. In
the country precincts whore no regis
tration is necessary a man can vote
any ticket he desires on August 6, but
in the cities he must vote as he regis
ters unless the courts should decide
otherwise.

Decision Still Stands.

Il want to go on record as saying
that my ruling of last week to the ef-
feet that man must vote at the pri-
maries as he registers and that an in
dependent who registers as such can
not vote at the primaries not only still
stands, but | have this day advised
election officers in all parts of the state
of my ruling. | want it distinctly un-
derstood that the election o;cers are
to take their instructions from this
Office and not to be guided by what Mr..
West has to say. The object Of the
primary election law was to prevent
republicans fro mnominating candi-
dates on the democratic ticket and
vice versa What Is the use Of having
primary election law If the republi-
cans can agree among themselves to
take part in primary and vote for
weak democratic candidates? 1t would
be easy for the republicans to nomi-
nate the weakest men on the demo-
cratic ticket and then at the general
election support the republican ticket.
Advices received by me today from
johnson, Alfalfa and other counties
where the socialists are strong are to
the effect that the socialists have de-
cided to nominate weak democratic
ticket and then try to elect the regu-
lar socialists in November ] have
wired the election inspectors that if
a man registers as a socialist he can
not vote a democratic ticket at the
primary, and this goes as to independ-
ents an dothers. If Mr. West thinks
that he is running the board of cleo
tions then he should remove his Office,
but for the present at least ! am Civ
ing out the instructions"

REORGANIZATION OF
HONOLULU PRESS CLUB

Members of the Honolulu Press Club
held another enthusiastic session at the
Palm Cafe last night, adopted a new
constitution and bylaws and laid solid
foundations for live organization
which it is expected will take a prom
inent place in Honolulu clubdom in the
very near future.
Through the reorganization the scope
of the club is considerably broadened
and provision has been made for in.
oreasing its membership by admitting
to qualified membership business and
professional men who for various rea.
sons may be deemed likely to add to
the gaiety of nations ms represented
by the Honolulu Press Club.
Committees were named to enlarge
on the plans outlined last night and
an invitation entertainment will prob
ably be held shortly at which club
members and prospective members will
get together.

(Mail Special to The Advertiser
HlLO, December 1.-The possession
of firearms by Filipinos caused trouble
again last week, Waiakea being the
scene of the shooting this time. The
man who did the shooting, Epipanio
Maata; and the man who was shot
Panzo, both claim that the shooting
was accidental. 1t appears that Maata
was cleaning 3S-caliber revolver, and
pointed 1t at Panzo, saying, 81 am
going TO shoot you
While he made the threat, thinking
the gun was not loaded, the usual
thlhg happened, and the gun was dis.
charged The bullet struck Panzo in
the right breast, glanced on rib and
was detected downwards, penetrating
the skin of the abdomen. Ii is be,
heyed that the wound will not prove
serious
The two men had for some time past
been particularly friendly towards one
another, and Panzo pleaded with the
police 10 refrain from arresting Mhata,
insisting that the shooting had been
accidental. As a matter OF fact,

mann Voge, H. E. Scott, Chas. Ander- son and Ed Shumate-who have given the company an option upon the prop erty In addition to the claims held under option from the above named owners, the company has located about three thousand acres of placer ground and about twenty quartz claims, thus affording the company ample scope for the very largest mining operations, either lode or placer.
 Before the death of MT. Bailey, the company worked steadily in the de- velopment of the property. and it is said with most satisfactory results. Upon the placer claims, numerous test pits or shafts were sunk, some of them having been tested while others had not reached bed d,rock and remain in this unfinished state.
 Upon the lode claims two shafts of 100 feet each were sunk, and crosscuts run, the vein being fully 9 feet be- tween walls. This vein is said to have an exceedingly fine showing, consider ing the amount of work done. Some of the ore is about as rich as that of the "Glory Hole." Mir. Anderson re- gently brought to Prescott some of this character of ore, which shows large flakes and sheets of gold in blue mat rix, probably azurite. It is said that the white quartz and quartzite of the same veln also showed considerable free gold. but in finer particles.
 The properties are situated about l5 miles south of Vicksburg, but supplies are obtained from Bouse because of the better wagon road. For many years placer miners have worked in the neighborhood with dry washers. It was thought by old-timers to be practically impossible to obtain water in that vicinity, and for years they packed water for camp purposes when dry-washing. When the company started operations. well was sunk and at depth of only forty feet an underground flow of water was struck which is ample for mill purposes Prescott Courier.
