PAULS VALLEY DEMOCRAT.
vol. m.
PAULS VALLEY, IND. TER., THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 1906.
NO. 27
ROBINSON'S CHILL TONIC, CURES CHILLS, Guaranteed at the Palace
A. R. HICKAM IS NAMED
AS COMMISSIONER FOR
THE GENERAL ELECTION
Election Board Makss a Splendid Selection in
Popular Bank Cashier, Assuring to the
94th District Voters a "Square Deal"
A. R. Hickam, president of the
Pauls Valley Commercial club is the
election commissioner for the 94th
constitutional district. His appoint-
ment was made Friday by the election
board which is composed of Tam Bix-
by and Judges Clayton and Gill.
Mr. Hickam is one of this city's
active business men, being cashier of
the Pauls Valley National Bank. He
is, of course a leader in the republican
ranks, but his appointment gives as
much pleasure to the democrats of the
district as it does to the staunchest
.republican partisan, for it is recognized
that Mr. Hickam's sense of justice will
guarantee, so far as it lies within his
power, an absolutely fair election in
the 94th district on Nov. 6 next.
The office of election commissioner
is highly important and responsible
duties devolve upon the man holding
it. The commissioner will establish
all election precincts and select polling
places. He will also appoint all
judges and distribute supplies for the
November election. After the election
he will receive the returns and deliver
same to the election board. The en
abling act provided for the appoint-
ment of the commissioners in the 112
districts into which the new state has
been subdivided. The law provides
that the election judges shall not all
be chosen from the same political
party.
Regarding his proposed line of action
in conducting the election Mr. Hick-
am said to The Democrat:
"A square deal is all that the people
of either party want in the forthcoming
election, and that is exactly what each
party will receive. While I anticipate
republican success in the state I shall
do no official act that can hereafter be
said to have had a political motive.
Judges will be selected rather for fit-
ness than partisan activity, and they
then may choose their own clerks.
In each precinct every man entitled
to vote shall have opportunity to cast
one ballot. The man who gets the
votes of the people in a majority, if
only two candidates run or one vote
more than his nearest opponent if
more than two, is the man who will be
certified to the election board as elect-
ed in the 94th district.
Farmers' Warehouse Will
Handle Big Part of '06 Crop
The farmers' warehouse will be the
center of activity in cotton crop market-
ing this fall.
The Commercial club committee,
C. B. Sipes, J. T. Jones and George
Rennie has executed the ground lease
contract with P. N. Kerr who gives
two acres of land for a period of two
years without rental, after which rea-
sonable rent is to be paid.
The warehouse will be built of cor-
rugated iron and will be 100x100 in
size. Ground has already been broken
for the foundation and the work will be
rushed to completion, so that when
cotton begins to come to market in
full blast Pauls Valley will be prepared
to handle it with dispatch better than
any other city in the Chickasaw nation.

THE LIGHTS
DON'T SHINE
Small Blaze at Uin
At an early hour this morning fire
was discovered at the Coyle gin.
Night Officer Long Smith made a
hurry-up run with the fire wagon and
the blaze was extinguished. The
damage was light. Spontaneous com-
bustion in the coal bins is believed to
have been the cause.
A. F. Pyeatt's barn caught fire this
afternoon and the fire department led a
running procession to the scene. The
damage was slight.

City Council Revoked
Franchise of the
Washita Co.
Pauls Valley is in darkness, save for
light shed upon us by the twinkling
stars.
The city council Tuesday afternoon
revoked the franchise of the Washita
Electric Light and Gas Company, which
has been operating in this city for the
past four years.
Matters with the light company
have been going from bad to worse
for'Several months, and drastic action
by the 'dfty council several months
ago"wli^'.'avaried only by the earnest
representations made by J. C. Amendt
of Chicago, who controls the corpora-
tion, promising extensive and early
improvements.
The service for several weeks past
has been execreable and last Friday
when the plant ran short of coal ceased
entirely.
The first of the week several credi-
tors filed suit for their claims in the
city court, and then came the crash
that removed Mr. Amendt as a factor
in Pauls Valley's public utilities.
Several months since a proposition
was made to the city council by parties
financially able to install a modern
electric light and power plant, and it
is understood that early application
for a franchise will be made by a newly
formed company.
[Caught the Scrapper
Long Smith had an exciting chase
this morning after a negTO who has
been wanted by the police for several
weeks. Smith caught his man after
Tom Hamm held him up with a gun,
and the fellow is now in jail.
Milas Lasater will represent the 94th
district in the constitutional convention
that will frame the organic law of Okla-
homa.
After his victory in the primary which
makes him the democratic choice there
is no doubt of Mr. Lasater's election
on Nov. 6 next.
Mr. Lasater's vote in Pauls Valley
and throughout the district Is most
flattering and bears ont everything that
his friends claimed for his popularity.
Milas Lasater is a wealthy farmer and
stockman. He is a native of Texas
but has resided for many years in the
Chickasaw nation. He is a large land-
owner and a man of strong personality,
who will be among the leaders at the
capital city.
The surprise of the election was the
great run made by E. E. Alkire the
Lindsay banker. He caried his town
by a vote of 345 to 7 for each of his
opponents and made a good showing
in other precincts.
In detail the vote was:
was in the commissioners court room in
the federal building.
John T. Hill was the first democrat
to vote, his ballot being cast at the
opening of the box at 8 a. m.
The voting was in spurts during the
forenoon and up to 6:30 455 votes
had been polled. The workers for
l asater and Jones were much in evid-
.nce and earnestly championed the
cause of their favorite. But little
work for Mr. Alkire was in evidence.
The officers in charge were A. D.
Burch, E. G. Hightower and Jno- W.
Williams, judges; E. M- Moore and
Roy Burks, clerks and J. C. Hybarger,
inspector. A. V. Goodpasture was in
charge of the door.
Saturday the district convention will
be held to formally nominate the suc-
cessful aspirant in today's primary.
The convention will be held in the
federal courthouse.
While the convention will be merely
a formal affair it already is attracting
considerable interest for it is recognized
as a gathering that is highly important
to the district's future-
