CASHION, KINGFISHER COUNTY. OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, OCT. 17, 1918
NO. 25
To the Man Who Refuses
To Do His Duty
Public Opinion is one of the
most wide awake individuals
just at this time that can be
found. Public Opinion is asking
whether any home man, woman
or child is failing and refusing
to do his best on this side in co-
operation with the boys over
there.
Public Opinion is now demand-
ing the names of the bond slack-
ers, and the council of defence
committee is already besieged
with inquires by those who are
burning yi their zeal to get ac-
quainted with these names.
To all such demands the King-
fisher Council of Defense has
but one reply. No names will
be given out until October 19th.
Uutil that date the satisfaction
of showing what Public Opinion
can do to one's business and so-
cial standing will "be withheld.
Let it be hoped that when that
date arrives this city, and if pos-
sible this county, may through
its council of defense say; "All
have done their duty."
If there are any who have de-
termined to meet Public Opinion
on this issue, it might be well to
first measure the .length and
breadth of the shadow beneath
which they and their families
will pass.
The Council of Defense
Register Before Oct. 25
All persons having lived( in
the state one year, in the county
six months and in the voting
precinct thirty days, and those
who have become twenty-one
years of age since the last elec-
tion will have an opportunity to
vote at the November election
by registering with their precin-
ct registrar before Oct. 24th.
Those who fail to register by
that date cannot vote. Those
who have registered previously
in the precinct where they now
reside need not registered again.
