THE Federal grand jury at Webster
Springs, w. Va. some days, ago, after
having probed the recent primary election
in Mcdowell county, this State, returned
indictments against twenty men, some
OF them the best known residents OF that
section. Among those indicted were
General Edward S. O'Toole, representa-
tive OF the United States Steel Corpora
ton, conspicuous Republican politician
and member OF Governor Hatfield's staff;
Guy c. Mace, assistant general super
intendent OF the same corporation eight
mine superintendent, and others who
were active in election frauds. The in
dictmentS charge the voting OF hundreds
OF illegal voters and repeaters in the in
tereSt of VIM. F. Hite, senatorial candi-
date. The Robinson-Lilly contest could
not be investigated by the court, as il had
jurisdiction only over federal offices.
Included in the indictments are several
against Democrats, but nearly all are
against notorious Republican politicians.
Federal agents are said to be on the trail
OF many other election frauds in NC
Dowell and Mingo counties, and there is
likely to be great upheaval in that sec
tion.
There is hope that this action is going
TO end the outrageous frauds that have
been a stencil and a scandal in that par
of the State. The Republican bosses
have stopped at nothing in their manip-
ulation OF the elections, and law and de-
cency have been utterly disregarded
Controlling the State and county organi-
cations, ready 10 MAIN and murder i
necessary TO accomplish their ends, the
situation has seemed hopeless. Now
that if has been found that these disgrace
full occurrences are offenses against tht
Federal statutes, il may be that proper
punishment will at last be melted out ane
law and order restored and enforced.

Helping the Bluegrass Pastures

Bluegrass pastures are benefited by
q good disking every three or four
years. 1t prevents sod-binding and in
vigorates the growth Of the plants.
The use of a disk drill to break up the
sod-binding and to seed in white
clover, sweet clover, alfalfa or more
bluegrass II desired will greatly bene-
At a pasture field. A liberal top-dress-
ing Of fertilizer should be applied to
give the plants good start and to
thicken up the stand throughout the
season.

The Republican newspapers resent the
Democratic references TO Governor Hat
field and say that he is not running for
office at the present time. This is true

that his administration has stood for are

Robinson is elected il will be first OF all
the personal triumph OF Governor Hat

Captain Niles will not so direct to

Is setting the pace for the entire state

ploted this county will have a system
of highways that will equal If not
excel any other section of the south

Tomorrow morning work will start
ON the construction of seven miles of
asphalt road between West Tulsa and
the Creek county line. This Will pro-
vide high-class thoroughfare be-
tween Tulsa and Sapulpa.
A new type of road for this section
Is the cindcr road between Tulsa and
sand Springs, work on which was be
gun last week. The six miles of road
way will be covered with ten inches
Of ciudcrs which will be obtained FREQ
Of charge from the smcltcr at Sand
Springs. Ten teams and sixteen men
are engaged in the work.
while this road when completed
Will be ono Of the best in the county
its approximate cost Will he only 5 p
600 According to County Engineer
Mitchell tho cost of macadamizng the
road would bo about $4,000 and Il
concrete road would cost approx
matcly $4,000.
The present road between Tulsa
and Sand Springs has been a source OF
much annoyance to persons COM
PEELED to use IT, Sand on the greater
part OF the road Ii several Inches
thick and traffic is difficult In many
places, Tho nature og the ro0d h'ae

The location OF a bridge across the
