NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, JANUXKY 30. 1920
M'GRAW irnirS RACE
FOR PARTY HONORS
WHITSON OUT ON BOND
AWAITING HIS TRIAL
T HANRS
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
HELD AT COURT HOUSE
Withdraws From Contest for Mem-
ber of Republican National Com-
mittee From Oklahoma
In a statement issued from the
McGraw headquarters in Oklahoma
City Tuesday night, addressed "To
The Republicans of Oklahoma," J. J.
McGraw, member of the Republican
national committee from Oklahoma,
withdrew his candidacy for re-elec-
tion to that position, stating that to
retain his self-rcspect and to keep
his church from being dragged
through the dregs of a political cam-
paign of extreme bitterness and
personalities, he deemed it wise to
take that step.
Mr. Hamon had won the Seventh
and Sixth congressional districts by
very large majorities and had a con-
testing delegation in the Fourth
which would probably be seated, so
seemed to be winning all along the
line. It was apparent h would win
in the state convention which meets
on February 11, or at least that if
they both continued in the race a
most bitte* fight would be waged. -
Perry Whitson, charged with forg-
ing checks, is at liberty on a $500
bond signed by E. D. Smith. His pre-
liminary will come up before County
Judge George Allen on February 3.

TWO BEGGARS MOVE ON
TO PURCELL FOR TODAY
The two unfortunate beggars who
were on the Norman streets yester-
day moved on last night.
The stump-legged man bought two
tickets for Purcell, and the citizcns
of the McClain county seat town will
have them in their midst today.
They were two specimen of entire
helplessness, having every excuse in
the world for living as they do. They
could hardly get around, much less j
earn a living by working.

alism at the university, will be ef-
fective immediately, it was announc-
ed yesterday. He will become secre-

North American Oil and Refining
company, with headquarters at Ok-
lahoma City.

ty circles. He is a member of several
fraternities, and has devoted his en-1
tire attention to the upbuilding of i

"The Volcano"
In the best high school basketball
game seen in Norman in several sea-
sons, at the gymnasium on East Main
last night, Norman defeated the fast
.juintet from Blanchard by a score
of 23 to 22.
It was anybody's game until the
tinti -keeper's whistle blew. During
the last half each time a field goal
was made it put that team one point
ii) tlu lead.
The Blanchard boys were a fine
looking bunch, knew basketball, and
put up a'good fight. A clean, smooth-
runnuig machine which one likes to
-«e in action.
:i.( Kitchen, Blanchard forward,
was the star of the game, playing
the court in fine shape and looping
many goals from difficult angles.
Price was the next choice as
favorite. Seventeen points were
scored by him, eight field boals and
one foul throw. Pumphrey scored
our points.
1'urman Wilson and Walter Mor-
i an, of the Blanchard team, also at-
tracted attention by their skilfull
playing.

PRICE TIVE CENTS
NORMAN MEN OWNERS
OF VALUABLE LAND
Arthur Williams Has Oil Land In
Red Riv«r District and Will
Make Large Sum.
A number of Norman men own
some good oil land in Tillman coun-
ty, or at least land that promises to
be good oil land.
Arthur Williams owns 160 acres
within ten miles where Texas and
Oklahoma are quarrling over the
ownership of land in the Red river
district, for which he has been offer-
ed from $60 to $75 per acre for a
lease, and is seriously considering
selling o lease on eighty acres of it
at that figure. This, ot course, would
still giv« him a royalty of one-eighth
on any oil found on it, and he would
still have eighty acres on which to
speculate. Pretty good lay out.
Another Norman man who own*
a farm close up to the proven field
on Red river recently sold twenty
acres of it for $750 per acre, and
has invested part of the money in
Norman property.
^ There is money in oil and oil leas-
s_if you strike it just right.
NORMAN DEBATING TEAM
READY FOR ADA BUNCH
Norman high school debating team
is in fine fettle for the tussle tonight
with the Ada school on the subject,
man this week in search of an eighth
"Resolved, that universal military
training should be adopted in the
United States."
The Transcript was in error yes-
terday in stating the price of admis-

cents as stated.
Come to the high school auditor-
ium at 8 o'clock.
Dr. Chas. Bridgwater is here from
Albany, Ore., visiting his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Bridgwater, at

been at the Mayo Institute taking a
post-graduate course in his profes-
sion, and will return to Albany in a
few days.
Supt. W. B. Schoggen and Princi-
pal J. T. Wade made a trip to Nor-
man this week in search of an eight
grade teacher to fill the vacancy
made -by the resignation of Miss
Westlake. The high school teachers
have charge of the seventh and eighth
grades at present. This makes the
work rather crowded, however, much
interest is being manifested by all
the pupils.—Wayne News in Purcell
Register.
