Double"
A FIVE PART VITAGRAPH BLUE RIBBON
FEATURE PRESENTING
Maurice Costello
AND OTHER EMINENT VITAGRAPH ARTISTS
SYNOPSIS—Ostrau, a mythical principality in the shadow of
the Pyrcm u , anil America furnish the scene of "THE CROWN
PRINCE'S DOUBLE," a five-part drama of mystery just under-
taken for production of the Vitagraph Company under the direc-
tion of Van Dyke Brooke. "THE CROWN PRINCE'S DOUBLE"
was picturized by Anna Mehring from "The Riddle and the
Ring," a popular magazine story by Gilbert Patten, and will pre-
sent Maurice Costello in the dual role of Barry Lawience, an im-
petuous American, and Prince Oscar, the son of King Gustave of
Ostrau, Norman Talmadge as Shirley Rives, and Andres Randoll
as Baron Hager, Chief of the Ostrau Secret Service. The re-
markable resemblance of two, men furnishes the mystery ele-
ments in the story, whose action fluctuates between the little
European principality and America, and is replete with tense
dramatic action and a decided note of human interest in a love
story in which mistaken identity figures. One of the big scenes
in "THE CROWN-PRINCE'S DOUBLE" is the visualization of
an uprising in which over seven hundred people will be used in
a picturesque attempt to dethrone a king. .

COME EARLY
CITY ELECTION
Considerable interest was taken in
the election for councilmen in the sec-
ond and third wards yesterday. In
the second M. F. McFarland (K) re-
ceived 60 votes to C. W. Kuwitzky's
(D) 47, and was re-elected. A big
fight was made against Mr. McFar-
land because he favored the hog ordi-
nance, but he won out nevertheless.
In the third ward Dr. J. A. Davis
(D) defeated R. L. Pierson (R) by 16
votes, the poll being 103 for Davis t
77 for Pierson. It is said Pierson had
the best of it until the last hours of
the day, when a large number of Uni-
versity students were rushed in.
Ben H. Barbour was the only can-
didate for councilman in the 4th ward,
and received 88 votes. Charlie Rich-
ards was the only candidate for the
council in the 1st ward, and was also
elected by 88 votes.
The fight over the adoption of the
hog ordinance attracted the most at-
tenion. This was an ordinance pro-
hibiting the keeping of hogs anywhere
within the city limits within «'i00 feet
of a residence, thus virtually prohibit
ing keepng hogs at all within the city.
Three wards—1st, 2nd and 4th, voted
' strongly against the ordinance, and
one, the 3rd, strongly for, the result
being the ordinance was defeated by a ed upon a cleanup and beautifying
vote of 221 For to 275 Against. The, campaign that promise great results,
vote by wards was: First—For 25,
NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST
Edwards, Republican candidate, was
elected mayor of Kansas City yester-
day over Henry L. Jost, Democrat,
present incumbent, and Republicans
secured a majority of the city council
and all the city officers. The election
was the most turbulent in years, the
"rabbits," as the Jost following was
termed, being desperate in their ef-
forts to keep in power. Three hun-
dred would-be voters were arrested by
Jost policemen to keep them from vot-
ing for Edwards, and the two police
commissioners were arrested and kept
in jail for several hours for contempt
of court.
Hon. Cecil Lyon, for many years
leader in Texas Republican circles and
personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt,
died in Sherman, Texas, Tuesday
night.
Purcell went Republican yesterday,
Will Blanchard being elected Mayor
and Walter Robinson financial secre-
tary. Both are Republicans. The sal-
ary of the Mayor is $1800 and finan-
cial 11 rotary gets $1,200. The prop-
osition to transfer $1,900 of a special
fund to the park fund was carried al-
most unanimously. Purcell has enter-

THE HOG WINS OUT
Editor Transcript:
hi the election yesterday the ques-
t of the passage of an ordinance
prohibiting the keeping of hogs with-
in the corporate limits of Norman un-
d. i any Conditions was submtted to
the voters and the discissions pro and
c; r. on this ordinance enlivened the
e -tiem. In the first, second and fourth
vv . ds the corporate limits of the city
ii ude a large territory of vacant
p.cperty and in these three wards the
vote against the hog ordinance was
ti ;v. In the third ward the vacant
territory is small and residences are
more congested. In this ward the
vote in favor of the hog ordinance was
heavy, but not large enough to over-
come the majority in the other three
vv .ids, and Mr. Ilog won out by a ma-
jority of about 60 votes. In tne first
three wards mentioned, a few hogs
; e kept but in the third ward prac-
tically not a hog has been kept for
years. In the fourth ward the vote
. against the hog ordinance was the
h< .iviest and it has been "dubbed" the
"Hog Ward" by denizens of the third
ward and in view of the fact that the
ti id ward has no pig styes within its
bi rders the denizens of the fourth
w :d are after the Chairman of the
Civic Committee to locate the real
source of the stench in the third ward
and they will render every assistance
possible to have the same removed.

REPUBLICANS PUBLISH
REGISTRATION LAW
Oklahoma City, April 5.—Prepara-
tory to their campaign to register
every Republican in the state between
.May first and May 10th, the Republi-
can State Committee is this week is-
~uing a synopsis of the New Universal
Registration law, compiled by State
Chairman Geissler. Tnis synopsis is
imply the text of the new law strip-
ped of all unnecessary phases and giv-
ing concisely the provisions of the law
in such form as to be quickly read and
understood by the average voter.
By giving extensive publicity to this
law, the Republicans hope to be able
to'impress all of their people with the
fact that it will be necessary for them
to find their precinct registrar and
register during the first ten days of
May to avoid permanent disfranchise-
ment in the state of Oklahoma.

REPUBLICAN VICTORIES
Although local conditions largely
entered into city elections held yester
day in almost every state in the Union,
the Republicans seem to have got
mt'ch the best of it, reports from many
points invariably showing great Re-
publican gains and many Republicans
el ted. Kansas City, Jefferson City,
S< ialia, Joplin, St. Louis, and numer-
ous other cities in Missouri all show
these gains, and the same is true of
towns and cities in Illinois, Indiana
ard Ohio, as well as Kansas and Ok-
lahoma.

Oklahoma City, April 5.—The coun-
ty registrars have been appointed for
a majority of the counties by Joe Mor- stato
ris, Secretary of the State Election
Board and the State Senate, and Re-
publican State Chairman Geissler has
informed the chairman of the Repuo-
lican county committee in every in-
stance of the name of the registrar for
that county. It is understood that the
remainder will be named within a few
days. This means that the precinct
registrars should be named almost im-
mediately and much interest is being
displayed by local political organiza-
tions over the state in securing im-
mediately the name and location of
each precinct registrar.
It is learned from the office of the
Chairman of the Republican State
Committee that every Republican
County Chairman has been requested
to immediately address a letter to his
county registrar requesting the name
and location of each precinct registrar
in the county. Every effort will be
made to secure this information so
that the voters may be informed be-
fore the first of May as to just who
their precinct registrar is and where
he may be found. The necessity for
this action the Republicans say is due
to the fact that the law makes no pro-
vision for the publication of the names
of precinct registrars, nor does it
provide that they must announce their
iocation and where they may be found
during the registration period.
Henry Ford carried Michigan by a
large majority as candidate for the
Republican nomination for president.
Senator Wm. Alden Smith was his op-
ponent. Of course, Ford stands no
chance of being nominated, but the
vote indicates how he and his peace
policies are considered in his own
THE CAMPAIGN FOR $1000
Present indications are favorable
that the goal of $1000 set in the Frank
Long campaign being conducted by
the student body at the University,
will be successfully reached before the
close of the campaign, Friday night.
Wednesday noon $590 of the total
amount had been raised.
Frank Long, an alumnus of the Uni-
versity, is a missionary in Brazil.
Last year the "Oklahoma in Brazil"
club of University students raised
$600 for his support, which allowed a
salary of $1.65 per day. This year
they purpose to raise this salary to
$2.75 per day.
Long received his A B. degree from
the University in 1908 and his M. A.
in 1909. He worked his way through
school by running a pressing estab-
lishment called the "Rub," and also
helped several others through. He
was a varsity football player. At
present he is stationed at Recife,
Brazil. Since going there he met and
married the daughter of a missionary.
ANOTHER BATTLE IN MEXICO
San Geronimo, Chihuahua, April 4.
—(Via Aeroplane to Colonia Dublan
and by Wireless to Columbus, N. M.,
April 4.)—Two hundred American
cavalrymen under Col. W. C. Brown,
Tenth cavalry, (negro) defeated an
equal force of Villistas in the second
engagement of the campaign at Aguas
Calientes, thirty miles north of Guer-
rero on April 1. This report was
brought to General Pershing Tuesday
by two Mexican ranchmen who said
that the Mexican forces lost thirty
men and forty horses while the Ameri-
cans suffered no casualties.
Villa was not with the band, accord-
ing to the ranchmen, who asserted
that the American troops believed at
first they had encountered the bandit
chieftain. An investigation showed
that he ha^| not been with the detach-
ment.
For the first time in its history Tul-
sa yesterday elected a straight Repub-
lican ticket, electing every officer ex-
cept school treasurer.
Owinp to the fight among Republi-
cans in Chicago, the Democrats scored
heavily in yesterday's election, almost
overturning Mayor Thompson's 125,-
000 majority of two years ago. The
Republicans still retain control of the
city administration, however.
DEATH OF MRS. BORJES
Mrs. Deitrich Borjes died at her
home in this city, 113 West Symmes
street, at 10 o'clock this morning
(Wednesday, April 5, 1916) aged 47
years. She leaves husband and four
children (two boys and two girls),
and a wide circle of friends to mourn
her demise.
Mrs. Borjes was a native of James-
port, Mo., and married Mr. Borjes in
Colorado twenty-four years ago, re-
moving to Oklahoma some twenty
years ago. She was a most estimable
lady, a devoted wife and mother and
christian woman, having been a mem-
ber of the Christian church since her
15th year. She has been in ill health
from heart trouble since last Thanks-
giving, and her death was not unex-
pected. The sorrowing family have
the earnest sympathy of the communi-
ty among whom she lived and was be-
loved for these many years.
The funeral will be held on Thurs-
day at 3 o'clock from the Christian
church, with interment in I. O. 0. F.
cemetery.
BURTON'S COMEDIANS
Mr. J. Burt Burton, proprietor of
Burton's Comedians, is here today
making arrangements to open a week's
engagement, beginning next Monday
night, April 10th. The troupe comes
here from Guthrie, where it is playing
to crowded houses this wek. The tent
will be pitched on West Main street,
on same lots as last year.
Mr. Burton has practically a new
outfit, except the tent, and the same
actors and actresses that so greatly
delighted our people last year are still
with him, with a fine band. He re-
gards Norman as one of the best towns
on his circuit, and always has a warm
spot in his heart for this town, for it
was here he got his start.

We are sad, but not angry, at the ling amonj

We are sorry that by your acts, by
your silent votes, you preferred the

We still have hope that in the silent

We still have confidence in the high- i
