Who Is Guilty?

As the Yes" vote was only l.3OO more
than the "No" vote, 1t Is even believed
that these overzealous advocates Of re.

with ballots coarsely denominated as
fraudulent 10y the law.
But Mr.. MURPHY was not the only
political leader In this county who de-
sired the convention. The City Club
stood shoulder To shoulder with Tam
many In its behalf Therefore. the
conclusion that Mr.. MuRPHYs adher-
ents displayed their loyalty by over.
indulgence in ballots must not be-
accepted until the part the City Club
played in his district on the special
election day has been thoroughly dis
closed. How many Of the City Clubs

BANK REsIsTs ASSESSMENT.

case of the State Banking Board
against the Farmers National bank
Of Gushing, now pending in the SUI
preme court, wherein the validity Of
the assessments to The state guaran-
lv fund is involved The state Is
asking that the bank, which changed
from a state to a national insJtu-
ton, be required to pay the full .
per cent levied for the guaranty fund
under the first legislative act. The
district court held that the law ha''
been repealed by subsequent legis-
lative act, but the banking board
claims that the 5 per cent levy,
although distributed for a term Of
years, had become fixed and the leg
islature could not remove it, Nation
al banks have filed briefs in sup
port of the Gushing banks refusal
to pay the assessment on the ground
that the bank could not be held Ii
able for so-called benefits which 1t
could not legally enjoy, and now the
attorney general wants state bankers
to file briefs supplementing those fill
ed by the state board in contraven-
ton of this claim.

PLANS ROAD TO
THE OIL FIELDS
TEMPORARY REPAIRS WILL BE
MADE UNTIL FUNDS RAISED
FOR PERMANENT ROAD.

J. R. Allen, who, rs chairman OF a
committee, has undertaken to make
temporary repairs on the road to
Healdton has planned for the CO.
oDeration Of the men who travel over
the road. He will make large
number of flags and place them in
the hands of the men who travel
over the road. At each bad place
in the road one of these flags are to
be placed and men whose business II
is to make the repairs will go from
one flag to another and put the road
in good condition.
Funds will be collected from per-
sons in this city to keep up the tenn
porary repairs until funds are raised
for the building of permanent road.
The plan of Mr.. Allen seems to be
pretty we'll worked out and with this
organization he should be able TO
keep the road in good condition IN
til a permanent road is built.
