Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Vol 8 Sango and Soper ATTEMPT TO BREAK UP A REPUBLICAN MEETING AND GET FOOLED IN THEIR SCHEME At the big Republican meeting held at Old Agency last night, with over 200 men present, and three ladies, the big bluffer. Sango, attempted to break up the meeting, while the little bluffer, Soper, stood out side the house and tried to inflame the two Hopkins fellows out there to do deeds of violence. The big bluffer sat quietly in the meeting until Rev. Norris finished his speech and as Dr. Waterford was next on program the big bluffer, who evidently had his orders from his boss, sprang to his feet with eyes protruding from their sockets, screamed out: "I's gwin ter speak else nobody speaks in dis house." The chairman told Mr. Bluffer that he could not speak tonight and then the big, burly bluffer went into spasms and so frightened the ladies that they retired from the house and some of the men left also, but some remained and insisted that the burly bluffer be not allowed to speak—he did not speak; he was permitted to leave the room and then the people, all, returned and Mr. J. D. Lewis made a splendid speech in the cause of right and was followed by Dr. Waterford, who made a rousing, enthusiastic speech and was cheered by the hundreds present. The closing talk was made by W. H. Twine The antics of the Big Bluffer Sango are in keeping with the acts of the other part of the six shooter gang, who can only rule by force and violence. The poor devils can't get up a meeting of their own and they insist on coming to our meetings to speak. The people are all afraid of these bulldozers and while they fear them, they won't allow them to speak at our meetings and insult our women.—Reporter. What do you think of a cuss who will go to a wedding and attempt to inflict a political speech on the people for Hopkins? Bright cuss, ain't he? Muskogee, I. T., Friday, November, 2, 1906. Resolution Passed At Old Agency Resolution Passed At Old Agency Last Night-175 People Present. Be it Resolved, that we, the people of the 3rd Precinct of the 75th District hereby heartily endorse the candidacy of C. W. Raymond as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. We recognize in him the regular nominee of the Republican Party, he having carried 10 out of 12 of the precincts of this district and carried the Republican Convention by 46 votes to 6 votes for Hopkins. We recognize in him an ardent and true Republican, a good citizen of Muskogee, a man who has always stood for a square deal and who will be right in the Convention. We feel that the rights of the people as members of a free government are at stake. If the actions of the opposition at the Convention in trying to choke the voice of the people with deputy marshals and six shooters are to win in this contest, the Republican party and the right to a free and untrammeled expression of the people in their affairs receives a severe blow. We pledge Mr. Raymond our votes on Nov. 6th and hearty, good will. $200,000. Raymond brought $200,000 into this city when he came and paid it out to our citizens for property. It is here now. No other one man ever brought so much money here to help our city. Is it possible that our people want to drive capital away? Last year, he paid out $2,000 for paving our streets. No other single man has paid out so much for paving. Are you against that? Hopkins has never paved one foot. He brought nothing here to help our city and yet some silly people talk about Hopkins helping build Muskogee. Let's be sober and intelligent about this matter. The fellows who oppose Raymond and use such arguments are simply a lot of little politicians, whose only ambition is to tear down others. They add nothing to our town but the trouble they bring and cause. Let's tear them down. DOUGLAS HELD HIS OWN. Five or six years ago, Douglas blew into town from the U. S. jail at Ardmore, where he had been confined on a charge of murder. He came repudiated socially, politically and financially; he has held his own. Tuesday, Nov 6, 1906 EVERY MAN VOTE EARLY: 1.

Every voter who goes into the voting place must first give hisfull name. The Judge of Eelection will then give him a ticket and the clerk of election will then give him a little rubber stamp. He must then go into one of the little stalls or booths alone. There will be two pictures on this ticket which the Election Judge gives to you—One is an Eagle—One is a star. Below each of these pictures will be a little ring or circle. To vot you must put the stamp, which will be a little cross X into the middle of the ring or circle. Mr. Raymonds name will be under the star. If you desire to vote for him put the stamp or cross in the ring or circle under the tsar. By so doing you will vote the Republican ticket and also for a square deal for everybody. Don't let anybody fool you—They will try to do so on election day. Just put the stamp in the circle under the star. All our boys will do that and we will win because our course is right. When you have put the cross in the circle then fold up your ballot so no one can see how it is marked. If you should havte it marked it will be thrown away and not counted. Just fold it once. then give it to the Election Judge. who will put it in the ballot box. Then give the stamp to the Election clerk and go out. The people continue to endorse Judge Raymond in spite of the bulldozing of the gang. FOR SALE. Lot three (3) in block Ninety three, to the city of Muskogee, Indian Territory. size 100x145.

LUNCHEON DAINTIES PROPER METHOD OF PREPARING SANDWICHES. Mayonnaise Should Be Spread with an Eye to Prevent the Solling of Gloves-Oyster Roast a "Sandwiches are so mussy that I have come to refusing them entirely at teas and receptions," said a woman who had sacrificed several pairs of nice gloves to mayonnaise or creamy sandwiches. Her prejudice against these morsels of food, so inevitable an offering at any place where a half dozen people meet, would not have been so strong had the sandwiches been properly made. Where a soft filling or mayonnaise is used it should not be spread to the extreme edges of the bread. At least an eighth of an inch all round will save soiling the gloves. Rolled sandwiches are the most dainty of all, and are most frequently made without any filling more than a thin coating of butter. The bread must be less than 12 hours old, and if but barely cool it can be used. Have a sharp knife and cut it very thin. Bread that is more than half a day old is too tender and crumbly. Never let economy extend to leaving even a fragment of a crust on the bread used for sandwiches. It is easier and more saving to trim the loaf rather than the thinly sliced bread. Parisian Sandwiches-Mince some cold cooked fish fine after freeing from skin and bones; season with salt and pepper and add two hard boiled eggs chopped fine, a tablespoon of capers chopped, and enough mayonnaise to molsten. Mix well, spread between thin slices of buttered bread. Egg Sandwiches.-Boll some eggs hard and rub the yolks to a fine powder. Spread finely chopped watercresse on thin buttered bread, cover with the egg, and lay on the other half of the sandwich. For a second sort of sandwiches use the minced watercress and chopped whites of the eggs. Take white bread for these sandwiches. Oyster Roast.—To one-half cup of oyster liquor add one level teaspoon of salt, one rounding tablespoon of butter, two teaspoons of catchup, and a rounding tablespoon of chopped sweet pepper. Put in one dozen large oysters and turn into a small baking dish and set in a hot oven until the edges curl. Turn on hot buttered toast. Rocquefort Sandwiches. — Rub a rounding tablespoon of butter to a cream with a piece of Rocquefort cheese twice as large and use as a filling for whole wheat sandwiches cut thin. Pink Sandwiches.—Slice bread thin and cut in rounds with a biscuit cutter. Beat some cheese smooth and add enough currant jelly to color a pink; lay on a second round and press hard. Olive Sandwiches.—Chop one dozen stoned olives and work into a little roll of creamed cheese. Use as a filling for brown bread sandwiches. Oyster Salad.—Select large oysters and heat in their own liquor until they become plump and begin to ruffle. Drain, dust with salt and paprika and a few drops of lemon juice. Chill, and if too large cut in halves. Serve with mayonnaise in lettuce heart leaves and garnish with capers. Oyster Cocktails.—Put five small oysters in each glass and pour on a tablespoon of the following sauce: Mix two tablespoons of grated horseradish, two tablespoons of vinegar, one teaspoon of tabasco, two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, four tablespoons of lemon juice, two tablespoons tomato catchup, and one level teaspoonful of salt. Mint Sandwiches.—Wash the sprigs of mint and dry on a piece of cheese cloth, grind or chop fine, add thick cream to make a paste. Spread between thin slices of buttered bread. DRIVEN TO GET RELIGION. Reason for Close-Fisted Man's Attendance at Church. A New Hampshire man tells of a tight-fisted man of affairs in a town of that state, who until recently had never been observed to take an interest in church matters. Suddenly, however, he became a regular attendant at Divine service, greatly to the astonishment of his fellow townsmen. "What do you think of the case of old Ketchum?" said one of the business men of the place to a friend. "Is it true that he has got religion?" "Well, hardly," replied the other, with the air of one who knows. "The fact is, it's entirely a matter of business with him. I am in a position to know that about a year ago he loaned the pastor $50, which the latter was unable to pay. So there remained nothing for Ketchum but to take it out in pew rent."—The Sunday Magazine. SAVED BABY LYON'S LIFE. Awful Sight from That Dreadful Complaint, Infantile Eczema—Mother Praleses Cuticura Remedies. "Our baby had that dreadful complaint, infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1826 Appleton Ave., Parsons, Kan., July 18, 1905." Playwright's Method of Work Mr. A. W. Pinero has an unusual method of writing his plays. His work day does not begin until that of the average city man is over. In the morning he goes out, preferably on his bicycle, returning in time for early dinner. Then he has a comfortable sleep, and on waking up, late in the afternoon, he prepares for business. After a cup of tea he goes to his desk and remains working at his play until far into the night. A Good Record. Out of all the external remedies on the market we doubt if there is one that has the record of that world-renowned porous plaster—Allcock's. It has now been in use for sixty years, and still continues to be as popular as ever in doing its great work of relieving our pains and aches. It is the remedy we all need when suffering from any ache or pain resulting from taking cold or overstrain. Allcock's Plasters are sold by Druggists all over the world. Women Have Pet Snakes. A great many snakes are imported into England. There is a brisk demand for snake pets among rich ladies. It's a funny kind of pet, perhaps, but they seem to like them, and get quite fond of them. I suppose it's because ladies nowadays like the unusual. Of course, these pet snakes are all nonpoisonous.—London Morning Leader. French Export of Chalk.

Postal facilities in China are reported to be improving through the service on fast trains between Peking and Hankow. These are expected to make the run in 36 hours. Simple Precautions That Will Save Lives and Money. A set of dishes should be selected for the sick room and these should be washed by the nurse and never mixed with the dishes used by the family. The nurse should disinfect all bed and body linen used by the patient and also keep the sick room and all belongings to it free from infection. Nothing contaminates the atmosphere more than dust and nothing creates worse air dust contamination than the spilling of foul discharges on floors, rugs and bed and body linen and allowing them to dry. All such foul matter should be wiped up at once with a moist disinfected cloth which should be burned. A broom is out of place in a sick room. It only scatters the dust into the air. The only safe disposal of the refuse from a quarantined room is cremation. The nurse in charge of a case of contagious disease should avoid direct contact with other members of the family, especially children. If needs be she must mingle with others she should have a special gown for the sick room which should be discarded with her cap on coming out and always worn in the room, and she should disinfect her hands before touching anything outside of the room. All these simple, commonplace quarantine regulations faithfully carried out would save thousands of lives yearly among the children of the land and also greatly lessen the cost to common people for illness and funeral expenses. Nothing would pay better than for the heads of all American households to be their own health officers.—Dr. Kate Lindsay, in the Housekeeper. CARE IN WASHING SWEATER. Garment Never Should Be Hung Up to Dry—Needs Much Rinsing. In washing a sweater, rub thoroughly in warm water and soap suds, rinsing several times to get all the odor of the soap out of the wool. Be sure never to hang up a sweater to dry, as hanging ruins the shape and stretches the garment. If you can lay the sweater on the grass, do so, having first spread out a heavy towel or a sheet folded. If you must dry it on the fire escape or in a window, spread out first a newspaper and then cover that with towels or a sheet to keep the water from soaking through, and then lay the sweater on them, not stretched out, but rather in a heap. Half a day of hot sunshine will dry it, but it must be hot. Don't try to wash a sweater on a cloudy day. Two Good Cleaning Recipes. Here is a recipe which is efficacious for cleaning fabrics without injuring their texture or changing their color. It is also particularly good in cleaning rugs and carpets. Grate two raw potatoes in a bowl which contains a pint of clear, cold water. Now strain through a sieve, allowing the liquid to fall into another bowl containing another pint of cold water. When it settles, pour off the water into a bottle and keep for future use. Dip a sponge into the potato water and rub the soiled garment carefully, after which it may be washed in clear water. When ivory knife handles get discolored dip half a lemon in salt and rub on them. Wash off immediately in warm water, and the handles will look as white as when new. To Sweeten Musty Cellar. A damp, musty cellar may be sweetened by sprinkling upon the floor pulverized copperas, chloride of lime, or even common lime. The most effective means ever used to disinfect decaying vegetable matter is chloride of lime in solution. One pound may be dissolved in two gallons of water. Plaster of paris has also been found an excellent absorbent of noxious odors. If used one part with three parts of charcoal, it will be found still better. HAD TO USE A CANE.

Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 Cedar street, Quincy, Ill., says: "Ever since I had nervous prostration, about thirteen years ago, I have had periodical spells of complete exhaustion. The doctor said my nerves were shattered. Any excitement or unusual activity would throw me into a state of lifelessness. At the beginning my strength would come back in a moderate time after each attack, but the period of weakness kept lengthening until at last I would lie helpless as many as three hours at a stretch. I had dizzy feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery after eating, hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheumatic pains in the back and hips. The doctor did me so little good that I gave up his treatment, and really feared that my case was incurable "When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills my appetite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, my nerves were quieted to a degree that I had not experienced for years and my strength returned. The fainting spells left me entirely after I had used the third box of the pills, and my friends say that I am looking better than I have done for the past fifteen years." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are recommended for diseases that come from impoverished blood such as anemia, rheumatism, debility and disorders of the nerves such neuralgia, nervous prostration and partial paralysis. They have cured the most stubborn indigestion. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills agree with the most delicate stomach, quiet all nervousness, stir up every organ to do its proper work and give strength that lasts.

In Gothenburg, Sweden, or at some place in its neighborhood, will soon be built a large factory for the manufacture of artificial silk for export. A company has recently been organized there with a capital not to be less than $160,800 and not to exceed $482,400, with the purpose of building a factory and exploiting an invention made by Engineer R. W. Strehlenert, of Djursholm, Sweden, for the manufacture of vegetable silk. Excluding experiments, this industry is new in Sweden, and it is claimed that the silk manufactured from nitro-cellulose by Mr. Strehlenert's method has just as fine an appearance and is just as strong or durable as natural silk, or even stronger. It is further stated that the silk has been tested or tried in Swedish or German cloth factories and that very favorable reports have been received about it.—Consular Reports.

Be it resolved by the Executive Committee of the 75th constitutional delegate district in the 10th Recording District of Indian Territory, that Whereas we recognize that C. W. Raymond received 46 votes out of 52 at the recent Republican convention, to nominate a candidate to the Constitutional Convention, and that he carried all of the Precincts in said districts at the Republican caucuses except tow. Therefore, we recognize him as the regular Republican nominee and pledge him the support of said committee and we urge all Republicans to support him and this committee at the polls Nov, 6th, 1906. MORGAN, CARAWAY, Chairman. J. E. CRANE, Sec'y. L. F.FUE, Member of Committee. Remeber This. If you sell your vote you will be disfranchised for ten years. If you bet on the election you can't vote. If some one challenges your vote you must swear it in. Have two men there who know you; so that they can help you swear in. You must live in the territory 6 months before you can vote. You must live in your election precinct 30 days before you can vote. If any judge or clerk of election defrauds you of your vote or destroys your ballot the law, says he can be sent to the penitentiary for 5 years. Hopkins has ordered every man to be challenge who don't vote for him. This is done to make trouble for you. Don't take any fire arms to the polls as you can be arrested if you do. No deputy U.* S. marshal can prevent you from voting—the law will protect you. Sango's opposition to Judge Raymond is a vote-maker for Raymond among all races. Grant Victor, Phny Soper nor any one else can tell the Republicans of the 75th District who the regular nominee is. We made the nomination. We have got them beaten by 1000 votes;just keep up the fight to the end. ```markdown ``` The opposition had a lovefeast last night; they drank liquid and sang Old Kentucky home. The whites put their arms around the necks of the blacks and had a social time. The fellow who said that he could put a lightning bug on the end of a stick and run all the people out of Old Agency school was well mistaken. "Isc gwine ter speak and I ain't gwine out de winder." There was nothing the matter with the door and so it was used for exit. Stay by your guns. The future of the Republican party in this country depends upon the action of our party now. We must drive out the lily whites and their dupes if we expect a square deal in the New State. The Phoenix tells an untruth when it says: "Any Raymond men advise the Negroes that Raymond's election means Negro rule." It's only another way the lily whites have of yelling Negro domination. Sango said he would speak or no one should, and when everybody got scared of him, a boy picked up a brick and said: "I am not afraid," and immediately afterward, bluffer left. It will be almost unanimous now that Ed Jefferson, Sango and Judge Adams are leading the Hopkins forces. The opposition have agreed to send the Big Duffer and his running mate from Arkansas into the 75th District, to scare the voters. Ed Jefferson, the howling montebank from Arkansas was at the meeting, doing all he could to create dissension and riot; but Ed didn't speak, nor did he get in the front part of the house, where things were doing. Ed always saves his bacon, when things get strenuous. The Republican who votes the name under the star is a Roosevelt Republican, and the one who votes the other is a Clarence Douglas republican. Now, which are you? We know that the majority of the people are not Douglas republicans. -Is it not an outrage upon common decency, when Sango, the superintendent of a mission school, can leave that work to take care of itself, while he dashes around, bluffing and frightening the people?

GUS LUBBLES IN ERROR. GUS LUBBLES IN ERROR. Our old friend Gus Lubbles seems to be of the opinion that the constitutional convention will be organized to investigate the question of the employment of negroes confined here in the United States jail out on his farm, southeast of Muskogee. We have heard such talk on the streets, but such a question could not come up before the constitutional convention. If such is true that is a question for the department of justice. Of course no negro man confined in the United States jail here can be compelled to work on Gus Lubbles farm, for no pay during his term of confinement. That would be against the law, as it now stands, and of course Gus should not be convicted of such a charge without a full hearing. In any event it cannot come up before the constitutional convention. Be Men. Old man Gordon has a piece in his paper headed as above. We endorse it. But why don't Gordon follow his article? Before the convention he was for Judge Raymond. After the convention he was still for Judge Raymond. After that he went to Judge Raymond for money for his paper during the campaign. He did not get it. Did the Hopkins people see him later? It looks that way to a man not on the inside. Yes, be men. Gordon do you stand now on the Douglas platform? Have you sold your honor as well as your support? Have you sold your soul as well as your influence? Have you sold your manhood to these Douglas platform men as well as the columns of the Searchlight? Have you sold out your race for a few paltry dollars? For shame. For shame. Yes, be a man Gordon. Stand for men and not for six shooters. Stand for a man whom you yourself said was honestly, fairly and truly nominated at the Republican convention even in the face of Deputy U. S. marshalls and six shooters. Be a man Gordon and stand for the man who beat Hopkins in the Republican convention 46 votes to 6 votes, and fairly won the nomination. If you don't Gordon, the time will soon be here when you and your people will be shot down at the polls like dogs by the roadside if it is necessary so to do in order to win a nomination or an election. Yes, Gordon, the question is, will you be a man or a slave? Don't sell your manhood even if you have disposed of a little space in your paper. It is a question in this campaign whether men and manly methods shall win or six shooters and bulldozing tactics. Next week Gordon you will wish you had stood for manhood and clean conventions. Alex. Richmond and Hopkins will desert you Gordon as soon as they have used you for their purposes. * * * you will wont to associate with men who have preserved their manhood and self-respect. Raymond is a true Republican—stands for and with the Roosevelt party of today. Hopkins you know you tried to disrupt and thwart the Republican party in this campaign by taking a democratic nomination at the Hinton theatre, but as soon as he saw the handwriting he went back on that nomination and said in his speech at Jonehall, "I never have run on that Greater Muskogee ticket." You know that is a lie, don't you, Gordon? You heard his speech at the Hinton accepting that democratic nomination didn't you, Gordon? Yes, be a man Gordon and support a man who has always been a Republican, is today and his life insures he will always continue to be. Yes, be a man, Gordon. God wants you to be, or he never would have given you a mind and heart. Mr. Riley of Taft introduced the resolution, endorsing Judge Raymond, which appears elsewhere in the paper, and the whole club with no exception rose to second the motion to adopt. Some fools who belong to the opposition are telling the story that they will steal the election. Of course, no sane person believes that the fellows will violate their oath and take chance of going to the pen for a candidate. Caraway is about to receive the condemnation of Douglas and the party wreckers,but the rank and file of the party are with Caraway. Crane and Fue, and when it comes to reading men out of the party. Doug. and his gang of traitors will be given the order to quit or come to the "Mourners Bench." There were about fifteen Hopkins men, including Ed and Potbellied, who went to Taft last night and the boys met a frost. Poor old Doug. has crucified Hopkins. His very friendship has made it a rocky road for the non-partisan candidate. It's the old story of being caught in bad company. Poor Hop., we are sorry for you, but can't help you. Douglas, who wants to read good Republicans out of the party,should have been at Taft last night, where 200 loyal Republicans made it known that J. E. Crane has the support of the boys in the trenches, as well as those at the forks of the road, and these fellows say that Doug must go and Crane remain. We beleive in the good old Methodist rule and when Douglas and his gang ask to get back into the party, we shall insist that they be taken in on six months probation and given a rear seat in the church and put under gaurd of a fellow with a sledge hammer and he to have proper instruction. DOUG, AND HOP, SAY: "How did Raymond build Muskogee?" Answer—By investing and building $200,000 worth;paving streets and sidewalks—more than any other individual—and is the largest individual taxpayer. Besides, he has subscribed nearly $2,000 toward the building of the Great Dam on Grand river—see? What has Doug. done? Answer—Rented a house from a colored man TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Chairman. P O.

WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. U.M.C.

(BRANCH OF OFFICE AT 31 LOUISIANA) The Good Record OF JUDGE C. W. RAYMOND. Resolutions Passed by Muskogec Grand Jury. Muskogee, October Term, 1905. The undersigned members of the grand jury in the United States Court at Muskogee, Indian Territory, October term, 1905, do hereby endorse the administration of Judge C. W. Raymond as Judge of this district. It has been honest, clean and satisfactory to the best citizenship of the district. No judge could be more fair, impartial or more industrious. No Judge, who has presided here, has been called upon to decide so many important cases affecting so many citizens and none have been reversed by the higher courts. Fights have been made against every Judge who has presided here by some element, but Judge Raymond has the confidence of the people, who believe in him and his honesty, courage and ability. He has guarded the rights of Indian minors; improved our Courts; enforced all the laws impartially and life and property are more secure by reason of his administration. W. C.

Court, Muskogee, in October, 1905, hereby give our endorsement to the judge of this Court, C. W. Raymonl. We have served on juries in his court, observed his manner of conducting trials, his treatment of witnesses, jurors and lawyers, and fully approve of his way of running the court. It is business-like. Perfect order is preserved and every effort made to give every party a fair and impartial trial. The instructions are always clear, plain and fair to each side. In fact it is very seldom lawyers make any objections to the Court's instructions. We are satisfied no more fair or impartial judge presides in the Indian Territory. We endorse Judge Raymond as an honest, fearless, fair and capable Judge, giving a square deal to all alike, rich or poor, and by reason of his good work the laws are better enforced here than they ever were before.

To his Excellency, the President: We, the undersigned attorneys, residing at Muskogee, respectfully recommend for re-appointment as Judge of the Western District of the Indian Territory, the Honorable Charles W. Raymond. As attorneys practicing in his court and coming more or less daily in contact with him, and likewise having a personal acquaintance, we have had an opportunity of observing his conduct both on and off the bench. Our conclusions are that he possesses a fearless desire to do justice irrespective of parties, his only aim being to fill the high office of Judge in a manner that will command the respect which is due. His integrity is unquestioned, his public and home life above reproach. His decisions and trial of cases and disposition of business is expeditious, firm, honest and impartial, demonstrating that high degree of learning and ability requisite for one filling the office and manifesting at all times to litigants, attorneys, jurors and the public a high regard for their interest, with all proper consideration. Believing that the manner in which he has filled the office is such as to command and meet your ap proval and that you will concur in our recommendations, we are, sir. W. J. Sullivan, H.

T., in meeting assembled, this the 13th day of November, 1905, do hereby express our confidence in the ability and integrity of Judge C. W. Raymond, of the Western Judicial District of Indian Territory, and that as a Judge he is not only able, but fearless and impartial in dealing out law and justice in all cases that come before him—that we have confidence in him and ask that he be appointed as Judge after the expiration of his term in December, 1905. L. C. GRISAM, S. P. BUTTS, J. W. FREEMAN, Committee. ..Copy of telegram sent by Col. I. N. Ury to President, Washington, December, 1905. President Roosevelt. Washington, D. C.: Ninety-five per cent of the Republicans of this district favor Raymond's re-appointment. If the matter was submitted to a vote here Raymond would win by a big majority over any one. His clean administration, impartial decisions, honorable life and conduct have made clean men, Democrat and Republican alike, friendly to him. The man who does not want the law enforced is against him. His defeat would be a blow to law and order here. President Muskogee Republican Club. Copy telegram Attorney W. J. Crump sent to President, Washington, December, 1905: President Roosevelt. I have defended forty or fifty men for murder in U. S. Court before Judge Raymond in last four years, and more than two hundred men for other offenses. The instructions have always been absolutely fair, and in sixteen years practice here and in Arkansas I have never known a judge more fair or careful in giving the law to the jury. I have never taken an appeal in a capital case from his court. I fully endorse his manner of conducting his court. It is business like, fair, in partial and with that dignity which all good lawyers like to see in the federal court. It is a calamity to this country to lose his service at this time. He disposes of more business in a day than any judge before whom I have ever practiced. Conditions have greatly changed here for the better since he began his work and it is because of his vigorous and honest administration of the law. The better element of the population are for him and desire his retention. The opposition is of such a character that it does not have the support of our better people and is not worthy of consideration by the authorities at Washington. W. J. CRUMP. Copy letter Judge C. A. Cook on file Attorney General, Washington. Muskogee, I. T., Dec. 2, 1905. President Roosevelt: I have endorsed Judge Raymond for reappointment and ask the same for the following reasons: First, he is honest; second, is fair and thoroughly impartial; third, is a sound and painstaking lawyer, having pride in his professional standing; fourth, is independent of influence; fifth, performs his duty regardless of personal popularity; sixth, has instituted and continues to maintain order regardless of opposition; seventh, he is a gentleman; eighth, a new appointment to this office would be construed to be a disapproval of the reforms resulting from his administration and produce confusion and uncertainty which would retard the due administration of justice; ninth, is worthy of the endorsement of your administration by reappointment. CHARLES A. COOK, Ex-Judge Supreme Court, North Carolina. Copy telegram R. P. DeGraffenried sent to President, December, 1905: I have defended thirty men for murder here in the Territory before Judge Raymond in last four years. His rulings have all been fair. His instructions to the juries have been so just that I do not remember to have ever taken an exception, and have never prayed a single appeal. He is always for a square deal. A fairer man in court I never knew. The people are with him. His stand for the right here has brought about some opposition from men who would profit by unfair rule. He ought to be reappointed, if merit, honesty, justice and square deal are to be rewarded. I am a democrat, hence not influenced by partisan feeling.
