OKLAHOMA FARMERS
ATTRACT Ed BY \ EW
FEATURE RMY SCHOOL

With the harvest season over, re-
cruiting statistics for the state Of
Oklahoma are showing an ever in
creasing number of farmers enlisting
in the regular army according to fig
ures received at the Ardmore army
recruiting station by Corporal Brad
ley.
The Twenty-third United States In
fantry. known as "Oklahomas Own
doughboy outfit Of the new peace time
army was allocated TO this state for
recruiting purposes in the early part
Of the year since which time its rank
has been steadily filling with Okla
homans until at this time over one
third Of the regiment is composed
Of men from this state. Some Of the
individual companies show percent
age running as high as so and 60 per
cent Of Oklahomans in their ranks.
OF the young men from this state
who have recently Joined the Twenty
third Infantry at San Antonio, Tex
as, 81 per cent gave their vocations
as farmers. AS the heavy work on
the farms Is being cleaned up this
percentage is showing steady in
crease. Before the harvest season less
than 80 per cent of the recruits sent
TO this doughboy organization were
from the farms.
OF the large number of applicants
forwarded TO the Twenty-third In
fantry from the Ardmore station dur
ing the past two months, about 60
per cent were farmers from villages
in this section Of the state.
That the farms are losing these
men for good is emphatically denied
at the local office. Il is stated that
most of these young farmers have
been planning TO enter the service
for many months. having read OF the
great educational and vocational train
ing system which Is now bringing
the regular army so much publicity
But due TO the heavy work on the
farms during the planting and harvest
periods, combined with the shortage
of farm labor, the services Of these
men could not be spared by their
parents until this time.
The big majority Of the young
Oklahoma recruits are entering the
army for the purpose Of taking up
work in the motor-mechanics schools.
AT the close Of their periods Of serv-
ice they expect to return 10 their
farms fully competent to handle and
repair any types of tractors or other
labor saving farm machinery.

trol of the executive branch of the government, that the adoption of such a resolution would cause the over Whelming defeat of the Republican party at the next national election, and probably it's dissolution. We also believe that the said resolution adopt ed by the Juneau Republican Club is not representative of the sentiments of the Republicans of Juneau precinct, or of any other precinct in Alaska, but is the product of meeting of a small coterie of political manipulators whose interest in politics is entirely commercial. And it is also the senti- ment of this club that any candidate for office who approves and indOrses said resolution is not a fit person to hold any office of trust or profit in the gift of the territory of Alaska Wherefore be it
 Resolved, That the Ketchikan Re- publican Club disapproves the action of the Juneau Republican Club when it insists that only active Republican workers be recommended for appoint i've officers. Such practice has been condemned by the Republican party for the past forty years as being un- republican and un-American, and places a premium on ward politicians.
 ''The Ketchikan Republican Club also condemns the mud-slinging cam paign now being conducted within the party. Such tactics can not fail to create dissension within the party and may result in defeat at the November election"

REVOLT CONTINUES TO GROW

WASHINGTON, April A (by Asso- ciated Press).-Sonora's representa- tives claim that seven states have joined the revolution, besides many bands of federal troops in other states. One of the late defections reported is that of the federal commander at Lii mares, Nuevo Leon, on the railway be- tween Monterey and Tampico. American intervention is improbable unless conditions change for the worse.
 Revolutionists under Arnulino Go- meg and federals under Murgia are battling for the possession of the Tam pico oil fields, according to dispatches received by Salvador Alvarado, the Sonora representative here.
 Murgia is reported to be in a dan- gerous position.
 Alvarado reports that Renteria, a former federal commander who is now serving under General Obregon, is menacing the capital of Colima.
 Dispatches to the state department say that thirteen senators and fifty two deputies have been dropped from the federal congress because of their sympathies with Obregon. Other re- ports are conflicting.

As originally in troduced the resolutions condemned the Heron newspapers for playing dirty politics." The only objection to the adoption of the resolutions was made by H. V.

 There was no question, however, that the resolutions were directly aimed at Heron.

GEORGE {. HAZELET COMMENCES
 LIBEL SUIT AGAINST HEBRON
 FORDEFAMATIONOF CHARACTER

A suit for libel has been filed in the district court of this this. division against the Juneau Alaska Capital, Charles E. Heron, publisher; B. H. Hummer, editor, and J. W. Ward, manager, for publishing false, mali cious and defamatory articles in their issue of April 14 against George c. Hazelet, who is suing for $50,000 dam ages for injury to his character and reputation. Warrants for the arrest of Heron and his associates on the charge of criminal libel will also be asked for.
 The complaint in the civil action al leges that the articles complained of were published for the purpose of de- feating the plaintiff as a candidate fosa delegate to the Republican na- tional convention at Chicago in June;
 yhe complaint alleges that the arti- cles published contained false, gar bled and untruthful statement of the events connected with the trouble in the Keystone canyon on September 25, 1907.
