OKLAHOMA IS
LOOKING GOOD
HaskeSi Dim., Claims a
Large Majority.

tion Probably Adopted by Hand
some Majority-Largely the
Work of the Demo
crats.
GUTHRIE, OKLA., Sept. 17. (Spec
ial) —Early returns indicate that the
entire D moerat state ticket, headed
by C. X. Haskell for governor, has
been successful and that the state j
constitution, written by a Democrat
ic convention, has been adopted by ,
a large majority in today's election.
Republicans ha\ ■- not yet given up
hope, however, and believe that the j
final returns will show that Gover
nor Frantz has been elected as the
first executive oi the new state by a
safe margin.
A heavy Frantz vote has been cast
in many cities and towns in “old Ok
lahoma." but will almost certainly be
wiped out by the overwhelming Has- ;
kell vote that is being rolled up in
Indian Territory-.
The Indians are helping out the ,
Democratic total, while a consider- j
able defection : tit-.- Republican ne
.gro vote is reported in some sections.
Interest in the election centers
largely in the gubernatorial race .
Governor Frantz is personally pop
ular throughout both territories and
the Republicans continue to hope that j
this will carry the ticket through.
That the legislature will be Demo- j
cratic is admitted, insuring the elec- |
iion of Thomas P. Gore, of Lawton, !
and Robert L. Owen, of Muskogee, as :
Oklahoma's first representatives in j
the United States Senate.
Senator Owen is a Cherokee Indian, j
and proud of his racial connection j
with the aboriginal Americans, while i
Mr. Gore will be the first totally blind
man to become a member of the up- >
per house of the national legislature, j
Other Democratic candidates for j
state offices, admittedly elected, are j
George Bellamy, El Reno, lieutenant
governor; William Cross, Oklahoma
City, secretary of state; M. E. Trapp,
Ada, state auditor; Charles West,
Enid, attorney general, and J. A.
Monefee, Carnegie, state treasurer.
The question of state wide prohibi
tion has also played an important part j
in the campaign, and present indica- j
tions are that Oklahoma will_ take its J
place in the galaxy of states as a i
prohibtion commonwealth.
The constitution forbids for twen- j
ty-one years the sale of liquor in j
that part of the state now forming j
the Indian Territory, and submits to j
the people the question as to wheth- j
er the provision shall be extended to
. include the western portion of the
new state. The campaign has been
. carried on in a strenuous manner by
both the wets and the drys, with
party lines obliterated.
Oklahoma's constitution is the most
radical organic law ever adopted by
any state and has been termed by
William Jennings Bryan as “superior
to the national constitution.” It was |
drafted by 100 Democrats and 12 Re
publicans, the former largely repre
senting the agriculture and labor in
terests of the new state. It provides j
for the strictest regulation of rail
roads and other corporations ever j
attempted by any state.
NEGRO STATE FAIR
WILL BE SUCCESS
Big Events For Fair at Macon
in October.
MACON, Sept. 17.—Interest in ' the j
negro State Fair grows as the time
shortens between the holding of the I
fair, October 30 to November 10.
Up to date President Wright has
secured some of the best attractions
yet seen at the fair. The negroes of
Atlanta, Augusta and Columbus prom
ised to be here in large numbers and
the fair will evidently be well at
tended. Among the most interesting
features will be the woman's congress
and the religious congress. The en
tire African Methodist Church as
well as both branches of the Baptist
Church have voted unanimously to
articipate in these congresses and
the promoters of the fair are conse
quently very hopeful of success.

SEVENTY-SEVEN
CF NINETY-EIGHT
Gov. Glenn Tells of Prohibition
Spread.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.
Gov. Glenn, of North Carolina, has
been stopping over here, en route
home from Atlantic City, to confer
with the attorneys of his State who
are preparing their case against the
Southern railroad.
The governor is a big man physic
ally and puts all the force of his per
sonality into any fight in which he
engages. Last evening he f ?lt quite
sure of making his State so absolute
ly “dry" that those with a hankering
for liquid joy could never satisfy their
thirst to the extent of a single drink.
“Seventy-seven out of a total of
ninety-eight counties in the State
now, under the law, absolutely pro
hibit the sale of intoxicating bever
ages," said the governor of North
Carolina, who is wholly unlike that
famous executive of the same State
who made a certain suggestion to the
governor of South Carolina.
"In the near future I feel confident
that the liquor traffic will he driven
out of the Commonwealth.
“In the remaining twenty-one
counties the dispensaries prevail.
These dispensaries are supposed to
have moral sanction, but 1 prefer the
saloons to them, for if a man enters
a saloon and takes a drink he may
then go on about his business, but at
the dispensary he gets a bottle, and
is far more apt to drink the whole of
it and get gloriously drunk.
“Drink and morals don't go very
well together, in my opinion.
“What is the cause of this move
ment? In the first place, the growing
moral sense of the Southern people,
and, in the second place, the grow
ing demand for efficiency as a result
of the extension of manufacturing in
dustries throughout the State.
“Business men have less patience
with those who become unfit for their
duties because of drink. The Sunday
school, Y. M. C. A., and other agen
cies have also been at work. One of
of results in the building of two new
schoolhouses in North Carolina ev
ery day.”
“What will be the outcome of the
rate controversy in the State?"
“That the people of the State will
have a fare of 2 1-4 cents a mile and
the railroads still have a return of 10
per cent on their investment. 1 have
no doubt of winning the suit.”
IT IS SERIOUS.
Some Americas People Fail to Real,
ize the Seriousness.
The constant aching of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling,
The pains and aches of kidney ills
Are serious—if neglected.
Dangerous urinary troubles follow.
Americus citizen show you how to
avoid them.
J. B. Edwards, farmer, living just
outside the corporation limits says:
"My back troubled me for years. Some
times it was so weak that I was un
able to stand up straight. There was
a constant dull pain that often awoke
me at night and the secretions were
out of order, being sluggish, scant
and thick. I had tried many differ
ent kinds of medicine when I first
got Doan’s Kidney Bills at J. G. Dod
son's drug store. They did what is
claimed for them in my case, and I
am glad to recommend them to
others. The pains have *left me, my
back is stronger and as 1 am resting
at night my general health is much
better. The secretions have lost that
gumy appearance and are more regu
lar. I am more than pleased with
this result.”

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. (Special)
—President Roosevelt is soon to have
a lifelong desire gratified. * He is
about to make an extended trip down
the Mississippi on a steamboat. If his
friend, Mark Twain, would only ac
company him and stand his trick at
the wheel, as he did more than forty
years , ago, the President’s pleasure
would he complete; but the veteran
pilot and great American humorist
has declined.
It is whispered that Twain does not
care to risk the reputation that the
years have allowed him to retain by
an exhibition that might prove the
truth of the charge some of his old
rivals made long ago that he wasn't
much of a pilot, anyway.
7(M* Miles Down the River.
The President will travel some sev
en hundred miles on the Mississippi,
from Keokuk, la., to Memphis, Tenn.
He will steam down a stretch of that
mighty river that is replete with his
torical and romantic interest.
His trip will be almost like a tri
umphal progress by water, and his
boat will be accompanied from point
to point by craft of all kinds that ply
on inland rivers, and everything that
rides upon the water will be gaylv
decorated for the event.
Over His Granduncle's Route.
From Cairo to Memphis the Presi
dent will pass over the route covered
by his granduncle nearly a century
ago. or to be exact just ninety-six
years ago. About this time of the
year, in 1811, this granduncle, Nich
olas J. Roosevelt, traveled down the
Mississippi in the first steamboat that
ever plied in Western waters.
While this journey down the big
river will afford the President the
keenest enjoyment and he will revel
in the sights and scenery that have
been the setting for romance, song
and poem, it will not be a holiday ex
cursion by any means.
Is Preparing His Specclis,
Preparations have been made for
royal entertainment and the Presi
dent is putting the finishing touches
to the speeches which he will deliver
in the cities where he will stop. They

will, it is expected, outline to some
extent his position on the subject of
inland waterways and transportation.
Whether he will commit himself to
the “lakes to the gulf” scheme re
mains to be seen.
The President will have an oppor
tunity of seeing the upper Mississippi
and learning its needs. He will reach
St. Louis October 2, at 9 o'clock, and
arrangements are being made to give
him a reception there calculated to
show in some degree how popular he
is.
