The election of Dr. Threadglll to the
meunH that the farmers as well as
mate senate on the 6th of November
the taxpayers in general will have
there a champion of tTTeir every inter-
est, and a man capable and willing to
do his full duty an a lawmaker. I)r.
ThreadgiU's extensive acquaintance
throughout the state and his general
knowledge of the sort of legislation the
people's interests require, in sugges-
tive that this district Is certainly for-
tunate that such a gentleman will
make the sacrifice he must to serve
in the senate during the next four
years.
The election of Albert H. Nelson to
the legislature from the third district
will mean earnest work in the lower-
ing of taxes. Mr. Nelson Is a vigor-
ous young man who does things, is a
big property owner, has been in active
business in the city for six years ami
knows personally what a burden un-
duly levied taxes becomes.
Farmers of this county who are so
fortunate as to have their places In-
cluded in the leases now being made
by the Oklahoma City Oil company, re-
cently organized for the purpose of
testing the oil and gap possibilities of
this immediate community, may be
lucky indeed. The tests will be made
of course, in localities where the most
advantageous leases are obtainable,
and that community In which the
farmers are most willing to co-oper-
ate with the new company will be the
first to be favored with a test well
The new oil company is amply able to
earn forward the sntsrpriiHi tad Its
management determined to test
sources of wealth buried beneath the
fully undeveloped and unknown
surface of mother earth here Even
3,000 feet is not beyond the possibil
ities of the test, and yet good gas
and oil men are of the opinion that
valuable oil and gas discoveries are
possible at a much more shallow
depth. Everybody realizing the impor-
tance of finding oil and gas at home
by a city of the importance of Oklaho-
ma City is enthusiastically assisting
the Oklahoma City OH company in its
endeavors in this direction, and our
farmer friends are as much interested
as any other citizen, and In the event
of success they will doubtless reap
the larger benefits.
Judge Ilayson's campaign through
out the country districts of the coun
ty is winning for him new friends and
supporters everywhere. A clean man,
whose wholesome nature and hiKh
type of character is illustrated in his j
face as well as demonstrated in his
every official act, the people have
come to regard Judge llayson as the
proper man for county judge, which
place he has so ably and acceptably
filled for the past two years and in
every way earned a second term.
When the large property owners of
the county, upon whom falls the bur-
dim of county government, came out
before.the primary for th7 nomination
of A1 J. Jennings for prosecuting at
forney, because of his repeated prom-
ises that If elected he would prosecute
the big rascals as fearlessly as smaller}
offenders, the? were Joined by good
people all over the county. The farm-
ers, especially are victims of any mis-
spent funds collected as taxes, and
they are more than anxious that In
future the county's business shall be
as scrupulously and honestly conduct-
I as other lines of legitimate busi-
ness. Mr. Jennings has given his word
that every officer in the county shall
report to the commissioners monthly I
as the law requires, and that the peo-
ple's money shall not be diverted from
its legitimate channels. The people
lieve Mr. Jennings will do as he
says and will vote for his election on
the nth of November.
