CLAUDE MI7E WILL
CONTEST SHERWOOD
Crescent City Friends of Demo
cratic Candidate for Sheriff
Demand Recount

Crescent City came to Guthrie
enmasse this morning with its sack
bowed, so to speak Crescent City is
loyal to its citizens and its candidates
and have decided to stay with Claude
Mize. Mize was defeated in the re-
cent election on the face of the re-
turns by the close margin of "A votes.
The Crescent friends of Mize feel that
he has not had a square deal all along
the line and will test the matter in
the courts. c. G. Horner of this city
has been retained to posecute the
contest for Mize. WalteE Warren Will
defend. Several precincts have been
named where Irregularities were prac-
ticed. The south precinct of ward one
Of Guthrie, where many negroes
voted, is included. In this precinct it
is alleged many negroes were per-
mitted to vote who were not quail
fled voters. The contest Will be con-
Quoted in the district court and an
early trial is asked by both Mize and
Sherwood.

WEST AMENDMENTS
FAILED TO CARRY
Were Placed on Ballot at the
Eleventh Hour and No
Campaign Made

The four West amendments placed
on the ballot at the eleventh hour
were apparently defeated.
The amendments would reconstruct
the legislative and judicial branches
of the government reduce the maxi
mum tax levied for state purposes
from 1-2 mills to 1-2 mills, and
commute all taxes upon oil produc-
ing property into one gross produc-
tion tax of mills. The fifth amend
ment making drunkenness the cause
Of removal from office, was carried
at the primary.
The amendments were very fav-
orably received by the voters OF the
state before the primary, and were
initiated in the remarkably short
time of two weeks. There had been
no campaign made in their behalf
since the primary.

GUTHRIE TO Be CAPITAL
OF NORTH DIVISION
Institutions Would Be Equally Ap-
pOrtIQDed; PeniteRtiarg and Uni.
yerSIty to South State

The movement to divide Oklahoma
into two states grows.
The oil interests of the east side
are anxious for the change and are
working to that end.
The oil interests of the west side
also want to be divorced.
The change would be beneficial to
Doth proposed new states, 1t is con-
tended
The two states will be almost equal
in area and population. Take a pencil
and draw a straight line from east to
west at point one inch on the map
north OF Edmond and you will have
the exact division as proposed. Each
state will have practically an equal
division of the state institutions with
the exception of the penitentiary. The
division will give each proposed
state one of the senator's; Gore on the
south side and Owen on the north
side.
What We Have.
North Oklahoma would have the
state normals at Alva and Cherokee
and the "a. & NJ. college at Saltwater
which could be enlarged into state
university with but little additional
expense; North Oklahoma would also
have the insane asylum at Vinita and
the school for the blind at Fort Glib
son.
South Oklahoma would inherit the
normal schools at Edmond Weather
ford Durant and Ada the state uni
versity at Norman. 1t would have the
insane asylum at Norman, the penl
tentiary at McAlester, reformatory at
Granite and industrial school for
boys at Pauls Valley.
Too Many Now.
The advocates of the division of
the state are willing to concede the
state south a shade the best of it in
the way of state institutions, as 1t is
admitted the present state is over
loaded and overburdened in this
respect and there is not taxpayer in
Oklahoma that would not be glad to
do away with many now in existence
if it could be done without friction.
As to the division of the state

grind here this morning John Fain,
recently appointed United States at
torney for the Western district of the
state arrived early this morning and
was sworn in by Judge Cotteral. He
Immediately took charge of the jury.
More than 200 witnesses have been
subpoenaed and it is expected that a
number of indictments will result
from the jury's deliberations. The
, jury is an exceptionally strong one
and was selected from the body OF
the district and come from widely
divergent sections.
Judge Cotteral and his retinue are
also here and several cases will be
heard while the jury deliberates This
morning the case of NJ. NJ. Fulkerson
the Alva banker, charged with the
misappropriation of funds is being
heard on journal entry. Fulkerson
was president of the Security Ma
tional bank of Alya. The charges
against Fulkerson involves a trust
fund and is rather complicated Full
kerson was recently seriously injured
by being gored by a mad bun and is
now in a hospital.

ten days.

the panel as grand jurors:

ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
ANTITRUST LAWS ARE
NOT INVOLVED

Washington, d. c., Nov 9-No
violation of federal antitrust laws IS
threatened by the cotton loan FUND
plan recently perfected by bankers
and members of the federal reserve
board. according to an opinion handed
down late Saturday by Attorney GEN
eraI Gregory at the request of Presi-
dent Wilson.
The plan was perfected recently Dy
bankers and members of the federal
reserve board and Mr.. Gregory $
opinion was rendered after MS con-
ference Saturday with President WIZ
son. The treasury department made
public Saturday night the following
correspondence:
writing Mr.. Gregory, the Presl-
dent said:
81 am sending the enclosed papers
submitted to me by the secretary OF
the treasury in order to ascertain
whether in your opinion the proposed
cotton loan fund may be lawfully
formed. know that it IS contrary
IN the practice of the department to
give opinions beforehand, to con-
templated transactions and think
that such opinions ought never IN
ordinary circumstances, to be gwen
but the circumstances with regard TO
the handling of the great cotton crop
which have been created by the
European war are most extraordinary
and seem to justify extraordinary
action. It is for that reason that
| venture to ask you to depart in TINS
case from the usual practice OF your
department.
Not Ordinary Business.
ct ocurs to me that the fund con
templated stands in class by itsell
It is hardly conceivable that su at
rarcaments should become settled
nractices or furnish precedents when
would be followed in the recourse o.
business or under ordinary conditions
They are as exceptional in their ma
nre as the circumstances they are
meant to deal with and can hardly
be looked upon. as, by possihiliU
even dangerous precedents. 1t Is TO
this reason that 1 feel the more JUS
tilted in asking for your opinion i
the premises"
