If the people of tills community
«ouId all be in position to take a
glance over the county division case
Co far as the people of (Stillwater
are concerned they would awaken
t© 'the necessity of getting busy
right now. The commercial club of
that city is holding meetings every
sight and are receiving daily rt-
ports from the field. They realize
trtiat it means a desperate battle and
irhiie the chances in Payne county
are favorable to divison they are not
without hope of winning. They are
•ending speakers into that part of
tlie county which is sought for the!
now county and are also taking care
of the campaign in that part of Lin-1
win county the farthest away from
the'proposed new county seal. They
have already raised their campaign
fund and while the recent county
neat election cuts into their program
considerably they did not permit it
i© entirely interfere with their ar-
rantjements for a red hot campaign
against county division.
They have gone into the census
and find that the total number of
names Is only 15021 instead of 15041
and they have already found C 1 du-
plicates on the rolls and have a nitm
her of books stll'l to check over.
They also claim that 2D names were
added in-one township after the cen
«us had been completed and the
l> oks taken from Payne county. In
this particular book the names add
ed are in a different handwriting j
tlian the regular enumeration. Tlv^
people 6f Payne admit they have the
hardest battle as they are unable to
•ee but little satisfaction from the
recent county seat election as the
residents of Cushing refused to show
their hand having decided at a
meeting last Monday night not to
vote at the county seat election.
Only 110 votes were cast in Cushing
last Tuesday and it is known that
there are at least 500 voters there
and some claim there will be at
loaet 650 of which 600 are classed
iw favorable to the plan. Payne coun-
ty only loses $5,000,000 in valuation
ia the new county deal while Creek
loses double that sum and the
Payne county residents outside of
the new county lines are anxious to
defeat the proposition in this coun-
ty so as to make defeat doubljS cer-
tain. It is said that a poll of Lin-
coln county territory shows a major-
ity against the division but Payne
county people look upon this with
a gTeat deal of allowance and as-
aert that Shaffer county adherents
passed the word around to tell the
polling committee they were against
the proposition in order to throw
town off the track.
At any rate it behooves the peo
«ilo of this county to get busy.
Indianapolis, IDec. 19.—As an af-|
terjpath of the recent labor troublesl
and strikes here it is announced that
officers of international unions of
oar P enters, barbers, bookbinders, i
bricklayers, teams tom and plasterers |
having headquarters in this city de-|
cided to withdraw from Indianapolis
banks on January 1 all funds of the;
international organizations that it ifr
possible to withdraw at that tim< j
The deposits amount to between 4)
and 5 million dollars. The mpney is|
divided among a number of institu-
tions and it is said the withdrawal
will not seriously affect any one
bank.

county board of supervisors has vo-
ted $100 to Mrs. Otto H. Summers

TO ADVERTISERS
Beginning January 1, 191-1, the livening Democrat will charge fifteen cents
per inch for display ndvertining, per insertion. This rate will apply to everybody
and there will be no discount for time contracts.
We feel justified in making this raise at this time on account of the big in-
crease in circulation. The population of the city has been growing for several
months and the Democrat's subscription lists have kept pace with the city's growth.
Our circulation has grown steadily all the time and the last few months the growth
has been very gratifying. This growth has come without any spasmodic or unusual
efforts on the part of the p iper and shows that the p iper is appreciated. \\ e have
never put on any contests, offered any premiums or prizes, but offered the paper
solely on it- merits. Having built up a «ple idid circulation in this way we now feel
that w.i are in the position to ask for it raise in our advertising rate. So beginning
the li st of the new year we shall charge Titteen cents per inch, which will not yet
be in proportion to the increase in circulation.
