WHAT THE GAS FRANCHISE
MEANS TO NORMAN.
It means much for the people to
have the opportunity of voting on
November 7th for the franchise which
will give Norman gas for fuel and
power. Some of the reasons for this
in the opinion of the Transcript are
as follows:
FIRST: It costs the City of Nor-
man nothing to grant the franchise,
as all the expense incident to the is-
sue and granting of the same has
been paid by the company.
SECOND: The franchise is not
exclusive, as any person, firm, or cor-
poration can submit to the voters of
the City any franchise upon which
a vote is desired, and if such franchise
carries there is nothing lost to the
City, as all expenses of granting the
present franchise have been already
paid by a deposit with the City
Treasurer. Bert Br.ggett, in the First
National Bank of Norman.
THIRD: The terms of the present
franchise are fair, reasonable, and
iust, and the rates, which are regu-
lated by the Corporation Commission
at all times, will give to the consumer
his proper charge and no one will be
discriminated against.
FOURTH: The company are all
Norman men, men who are identified
with the upbuilding of Norman and
whose integrity and ability assures
prompt and decisive action in secur-
ing an adequate supply of gas at the
earliest possible date.
FIFTH: Norman will have either
natural or artificial gas—natural gas
if such can be secured, anl as there
is no chance for the City to lose one
single dollar, and no loss of rights, it
seems the eminently proper and bus-
iness-like thing to do, to vote for the
granting of the franchise, and Nor-
man wives will thus enjoy the
privileges of other women in cities
where gas is used, and our homes will
increase in value and our home life
in happiness.

BETTING ON V/ALL STREET.
The New York Tribune of Wednes-
day says:
"More than $15,000 was wagered
yesterday on the Presidential elec-
tion at even money, according to curb
brokers in Wall street. Other wagers
were reported at 10 to 9 on Hughes,
the total being about $25,000. The
even money appeared when reports
were received by wire from Chicago
that houses there were heavily back-
ing Wilson.
"The 'Waldorf crowd' sent $10,000
to the curb to bet on Wilson. It was

WALTER WILLIAMS HERETODAY 1 for county superintendent, is a thorn
Dr. Walter Williams, the nation-
wide celebrity of the University of
Missouri, Dean of the School of
Jouralism of that state, was here
this morning and talked at the Uni-
versity to the student body on "The
Newspaper as a Weapon for Democ-
racy" and at a luncheon at the
Presbyterian dining rooms on "The
Necessary Qualifications of those who
go into jouralism." Both talks were
inspiring to the upmost degree, for
Walter Williams knows his subjects
and knows how to tell them in most
attractive and intensely interesting
form. He left on the 2 o'clock car for
| Oklahoma City and will be back
in the flesh of the other nominees on
the Democratic ticket. They are be-
tween the devil and the deep blue
sea, and don't know which horn of
the dilemma to grasp; for they are
damned by Clark's enemies if they
speak a kind word for him, and
damned by his friends if they say a
woid against him. He is sticking on
the ticket, and proposes to fight it
out to a finish.
The two Democratic newspapers of
the town are at loggerheads over
him, too. The Enterprise speaks as
many kind words of him as it can,
while the Democratic-Topic is bitter
in its opposition; even going tp the
extent of failing to list Clark's name
