OUNT THAT DAY LOST WHOSE LOW
L DESCENDING SUN SEES AT THY HAND
NO LETTER WRITTEN OR AT LEAST BEGUN.
Keep on counting until June 11, 1910, when
we're to vote on the state capital question.
Have you done what you could to boost Okla-
homa City's chances for success? Have you writ-
ten your acquaintances out in the state and asked
them to vote for Oklahoma City and for immedi-
ate action on the capital location?
If you haven't done it, won't you do it now?
If you have done it, won t you do it again.
This fight is largely up to you, Mr. Private Citi-
zen. It's largely for you to say whether Oklahoma
City wins or loses. The people who ordinarily take
little interest in elections can make a probable vic-
tory an assured fact.
And it won't cost over the price of a few post-
age stamps for you to do it.
Send a letter ot postcard to some of your rela-
tives or acquaintances who live outside the city.
Tell them that you want them to vote for Okla-
homa City—and why. Reasons are multitudinous.
The Pointer's printing them every day.
Emphasize the fact that it'll not cost the taxpayer
a single red cent to acquire the handsomest capitol
building in the entire west; emphasize the fact that
in justice to the state the seat of government should
be located in the city of greatest achievement.
Write—there's nothing you can say that would
harm; there's much to say that will do good.
It doesn't take a student to see that Oklahoma
City is entitled to be the capital. Your friends al-
ready realize the "why," but what is needed now is
merely a jog to their memory.
Let's get some action.
Write those cards or letters now and you'll have
done a lot to help your town.

HOPPER
GRINDS
HIS LEG
Paying Workman Horribly Mangled |
When He Slips Into Whirl-
ing Cement Mixer
Slipping into the hopper of a|
cement mixer at Cedar and Walk-1
or streets today, the right leg of j
Veko Bernardo, 30, 1010 South
Robinson street, was ground from (
the 'foot nearly to the hip.
The mangled leg was hanging
-only by a few muscles when he
.was extricated from the machine.
Quick work on the part of fel-
low employes in stopping the ma-
chine, probably saved Bernardo
,from being ground to death.
At St. Anthony's hospital, it
was stated that Bernardo may die
from the loss of blood and severe
shock
| It is not known how Bernardo
fell into the hopper. Fellow work-
men claim they did not know of
the tccident until they heard his
cries. The engine was shut off at
once and a Street & Draper am-
bulance called.
It in believed that Bernardo,
who was wheeling rocks to feed
t he crusher, slipped while tipping
his wheelbarrow.
TWYFORD'S BUSY
AND PHYSICIANS
ARE'NT ARRESTED
to Get the Capital
(By Walter McComas.)
Oklahoma City is known as a (
community that DOES l'HINOb, j
and her achievements have shea
luster upon the entire state.
Tourists, homescekers and other I
investors, attracted by her won-1
derful growth and prosperity,
have poured into the state trom
all sections of the country. They J
have aided in the development of
every community in the state.
For this reason she feels that
she is entitled to generous recog-
nition from the entire common-
wealth.
Oklahoma City is up-to-now in
every respect, and it" she is made
the capital city, she will sustain
her reputation in this respect, by
1he erection of a capital building
that will reflect credit upon the state, and that will be in keeping
with her other achievements. . ..
As the leading emporium of the state. Oklahoma City is dnectly
interested in every community within its borders, and her welfare
is dependent upon their development j consequently she would strive
to upbuild them. . , , ,
Oklahoma City-is the most accessible community in the state and
her transportation facilities will be increased in the near future. She
is the objective point of a large majority of the people who visit the
state, aiid every addition to her attractiveness is a boost tor the
state; for this reason she should be the capital.
Oklahoma City calls the attention of voters to the fact that she
is up to the minute in the way of educational.and devotional priv-
ileges; that her business houses will compare favorably with those ot
older and larger cities; that her residential districts are suggestive
of taste a lid prosperity; that her packing houses—now under con-
struction-will be modern in every particular, and that no city in the
world of equal population excels her in the matter of paved streets
and street railways. .
Every taxpayer in the state will conserve his interests by voting
for Oklahoma City.

Capital Tag Day
Girls!
"Whatd'y' think, Mabel, they're
going to give us prizes for getting
the money on Capital Tag Day!"
And they're real beauties, too—
Silver brooches or belt buckles,
engraved with the Oklahoma state
seal and appropriately inscribed—
a memento of one of the really im-
portant events In Oklahoma's his-
tory.
The special committee in charge
of Tag Day arrangements has de-
cided to award four prizes—one
each to the captain and crew of
three girls who get the greatest
number of dollars for the *tate cap-
ital campaign fund.
And say—
There's sure goirg to be some
rivalry next Saturday when the va-
rious corps cf pretty misses get
busy. It'** going to be about as much
as a man's life is worth to refuse
to "dig up" when the order comes.
So don't take a chance.

Here's the pretty state seal brooch that's to be given to each of the four girls
who get the most money on State Capital Tag Day next Saturday.
