Berlin, July 17.—By wireless to
Sayvjfcle.f—"According to official re-
ports from Petrograd, nays the Over-
House at the coming election. Not
only is this talked among the mem-
bers, but it is also the theme of con-
versation among many of the present
employes of the capitol. Some of
them are already beginning to make
arrangements for employment in
other circles and there has not been
such a pronounced indication of "mov-
ing day" in the old historic building in
many a year.
"The western states will line up for
the Republican ticket," said Repre-
sentative Clifton N. McArthur, of the
Portland, Oregon district. "There has
been some gossip that the western
Progressives would not follow Col.
Roosevelt, but this talk has been made
by Democrats. There is no ground
for this, for all along the line, those
states over on the Pacific slope are red
hot for the Republican ticket and the
old fashioned Republican majorities
can be looked for in November.'
Representative Cyrus A Sulloway
of New Hampshire, speaking to a
group of his colleagues, said: "I
have just been over my district.
Everybody is enthusiastic for Hughes.
Not only will he receive the support
of practically all of the Progressives
of my state, but many Democrats dis-1
gusted with the present administra-
tion, will also give the Republican j
candidate its support. Among the!
rank and file of the former Progres-
sives, I do not know of one that is

i The University of Oklahoma has
transferred from the official deposi-
tory into the state treasury the sum
of $8,574.63, which represents the net
earnings for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1916. This money goes to
the credit of the "General Revenue
Fund" of Oklahoma.
HEARD AT NATIONAL CAPITOL
Washington, July 19, (Special cor-
respondence)—"The Republicans m
Wisconsin are active, earnest and unit-
ed for the coming campaign," said
Representative William J. Cary of
that state. "I would not be at all sur- j
prised to see our state go 100,000 for
Hughes and Fairbanks. The only
question at issue is the size of the
Republican majority."
"No more ludicrous thing has ever
been done by this Administration than
to flop on the tariff proposition,"
said a middlewest member of congress.
"Where a few months ago the Presi-
dent was poking fun at the idea of a
tariff commission he is now falling
all over himself in favor of one. From
all reports it is to be a typical Wilson
"commission and will be headed by a
political economist and well known
advocate of free trade, who is con-
nected with one of the big colleges of
the country. It seems to me that the
people have had enough theory in-
jected into this administration thus
far, without having additional
doses dispensed through the instru-
mentality of a tariff commission. A
real tariff commission should be made
up of men who have practical know-
ledge of business, importations and
American industry."
National Committeeman Virgil L.
Hyland of West Virginia, was con
not the least leading feature of the oc- I Xgency, "in the p.riod be

BACK FROM ILLINOIS.
The Will Hetherington party, con-
sisting of Mr. Hetherington and Mr.
and Mrs. H. R. Hudgens and daughter,
Miss Helen Hudgens, arrived home
Saturday evening from their auto-
mobile trip to Alton, III. They re-
port most excellent roads and a fine
time, and that Will's "Reo" is cer-
tainly a fine car.
CROPS LOOKING FINK
While the dry hot weather and lack
of rain will undoubtedly injure the
crops if it continues, it is almost the
universal opinion that nothing has
suffered materially so far, unless it
be the vegetables and pastures. The
farmers have had exceptionally good
weather for their threshing, and al-
rnont ail of It is completed and their
third cutting of alfalfa 1m also
through—with splendid yields and
perfect curing. The weather is fine
for the cotton, which is in splendid
condition. Corn is in a critical con-
dition, but a rain within u W9*U will
bring it out all right. None of it is
"fired" even on the tight upland, and
if the "hot winds" keeps away there
is every prospect of h record-break
ing crop.
JUDGE GRESHAM WITHDRAWS
Judge J. M. Gresham has with
drawn as a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for congress in the 5th
district, and so notified all the other
candidates this morning. Mr. Ores
ham received much encouragement
and promise of earnest support from
leaders of the party all over the dis-
trict, but felt that he could not enter
into a scramble for the nomination,
with the hard work and laborious
campaigning that would be necessary,
so has completely withdrawn. That
he would have received flattering sup
port and made a great campaign had
secured the nomination—and a fine
congressman in the event of election—
goes without argument. But one can
easily see how difficult and unsatis-
factory it would be to him to get into
such a scramble for a nomination.

At this season of the year when sales are so prevalent
we feel that we should emphasize the fact that these
styles are new—new not only in the sense that they
have ,iu*t arrived—but in the truer sense that they
were created and made immediately preceding their
shipment to us. From this standpoint as well as from
the standpoint of inherent merit—these Waists are
much more desirable than any "on sale" Waists at the

BYRN HOWARD LOSES HEP
It is with the utmost regret that
the Transcript announces the fact that
Byrn Howard has lost his bet with
Harry Lindsay, and must pay the lat-

that Mr. Lindsay would have to pay
Mr. Howard $5.00—and Harry would
have gladly done it. They wagered,
it will be remembered, on a half-inch

come within three days from Thurs-

HAVE YOU MOVED SINCE
REGISTERING IN MAY?
If you have moved since you regis-
tered in May, from one ward to an-
other, or from one precinct to an-
other, you must re-register or you
lose your vote. Hunt up the registra-
tion officer and get a new registra-
tion certificate. A number of voters
have moved from one ward to another
since registering and now they must
register again.
Better get busy at once if you've
moved. Registration books are open

"DOLLAR DAY" IN NORMAN.
There was a large crowd in Nor-
man on Saturday, and all the stores
report an excellent business. Some i
of them had an extraordinary busi-
ness, reports from a number saying1
it was the best day they have had for 1
months.
The Farmers Produce Company,
which offered excellent prices for j
poultry and eggs, was busy from early j
morn until late at night. A very
large number of eggs were purchased
and something between 2 ,£00 and
:>,000 pounds of poultry taken in.
A number of the merchants are
thinking of making "Dollar Day" a
regular day, about every two weeks. |
Every person who can he brought to
Norman by these "Days" (especially
those who have not been in the habit
of coming here) is that much gained
and there were a number of such per.
sons here on Saturday.
