Oklahoma City. Aug. 29.-Thc re.
publican party In Oklahoma began
the fight of its life today-a fight
to put oklahoma on the republican
side OF politics In the November
election.
The fight was to be made on a
brand new platform. drawn up and

tion here yesterday. The platform
as adopted criticises the present
democratic state administration and
the "farmer-labor' platform as
adopted at the recent democratic
convention.
Running through the republican
platform Is the well pronounced

alition Of straight democrats and re-
pubicans to clean out the state
house gang and defeat the rapid
advancement of the kind of govern
ment that plunged Russia into chaos
and bankrupted North Dakota"
Complete harmony reigned at the
convention under the gavel of Miss

The platform upon which John
Fields. candidate for governor, will
open his campaign at Cherokee,
Sept. 6, was adopted without amend

up by John Fields and his advisers
before the convention
Outstanding in the platform were
charges that the democratic party
has degenerated and that an alli-
ance of democrats and radicals to
elect candidates who will insure
present officials against prosecu

Recent republican state legisla-
lure and the present national ad-
were praised.
Legislation favoring the working
man and woman was promised.
Abolition of laws restricting the
rights of women was demanded.

STORM WARNINGS
ON TEXAS COAST
Hurricane Sweeping Toward Texas;
Baromeiers Register Low; May
be Five Days Before Storm
Strikes, is Estimate.

Houston, Tex, Aug 29.- Storm
warnings for tho tropical disturb
ance last reported TO be over the
Gulf OF Honduras have been ordered
hoisted along the gulf coast from
New Orleans to Corpus Christi. ac'
cording TO the weather bureau here.
The intensity of the storm was re-
ported unchanged.
While the weather bureau officials
declare the storm is stlll at least
five days away from the Texas
coast they vi wed with apprehen-
sion the falling barometer at
Brownsville which stood at 1922
all day Monday.
While this is not remarkably low,
it is still enough below the read
ings elsewhere along the tGoast to
affect the course of the storm
should it enter the Gulf of Mexico,
weather bureau officials said.
The storm has apparently moved
but little in the last twelve hours.
Travelling at the average speed Of
tropical disturbance, about sixty
nautical miles day. the storm will
not strike the Texas gulf coast for
four or five days yet.
Records of previous disastrous
storms have shown that the pres
ent disturbance is later than the
usual time they strike The last
disastrous storm occurred August
1916, 1915, and drove salt spray
from the Gulf of Mexico to Hous-
ton, distance of So miles, com
pletely killing all vegetation in this
section.

that the deceased nobleman was Is
years of age, and that his household
consisted of two female servants and a
valet, who lived in the house, and .
coachman and groom, who lived on
the outside. He said that the day pre-
ceding the murder the victim rose at
his usual hour of 3, went out, and
spent his morning as usual, leaving
several messages with the prisoner.
His Lordship returned to dinner as
usual, and shortly afterward retired
to bed, The next morning he was found
dead.
The learned counsel then detailed
the circumstances of the prisoner
forgotten to send his Lordships car
riage to Brooke's Club House, as he
had been told to do. He next called
the attention of the jury to how things
were distributed about the place to
indicate that robbers had committed
the crime The next suspicious circum4
stance was the broken state of the
back door, to which the prisoner had
pointed as the place where the thieves
entered
Other damaging evidence was the
absence of the Lords watch, which
was several days afterward found I'M
der suspicious circumstances, as was

murdered man, and which was found
mysteriously concealed. 1t was brought
| out at the trial that the prisoner had
complained of his place and said that
he was sorry that he had accepted the
position, although he had been an en-
ployee of Lord Russell for only five
weeks.
For a considerable time of the tri-
al it looked as if the prisoner was ID

entertainment in Leicester Place, Lon

her house for safe keeping a quan
tity of plate which was proved to b.

Mr.. EDITOR Referring 10 the account

drawings for the United tates patent

Washington, and my foreign agents,
patents were secured in the United
States and in about all the European
countries-including Germany-and as
remember in many South American
countries, Australia, Canada, New Zea-
land and Japan Pennington's inven-
ton as thus patented was in some re
spects more complete and elaborate
than any Zeppelin ship. The engine, al

and was placed at he bow or nose Of
the ship on a shaft in axial line with
