W. R. CLARK FOR COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT
W. R. Clark, principal of the Cana-
da school, announces in this issue of
The Transcript as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for county
superintendent of Cleveland county
When a very small boy, Mr. Clark's
father died, leaving his mother with
several small children and but very
little of this world's goods and in the
city of New York, it was more than
the mother could do to care for and
educate tht little ones, consequently
W. R. Clark and a smaller brother
were placed in an orphans home,
where he remained a few years, but
owing to the treatment he received he
left the home, and for two years he
made a living selling newspapers on
the streets of New York.
At the age of 14 he joined the
Children's Aid Society and with fif-
teen other boys was taken to Texas,
where they were placed in farm
homes. There he worked for his board
and clothing for four years, attending
th* rural schools during the winter
months, after which he attended the
North Texas Normal for two years,
working his way through school.
He taught one term of school in
Texas. He came to Cleveland county
in the fall of 1910, and farmed in the
eastern part of the county the next
year, he taught one term of school in
'the western part of Pottawatomie
county, and is now teaching his third
term of school in this county, and is
regarded by all who know him as one
I of the most successful teachers in the
county. It is said wherever W. R.
I Clark teaches there is always much
: life and enthusiasm in the school.
! During his vacations in the sum-
mer he always attended one of the
j state's normal schools, better prepar-
ing: himself for his duties as teacner.
' Since coming to Cleveland county
he has taken an active part in politics
supporting his friends and working
for the success of the Democratic
party.
In every way W. R. Clark is a self
made man who made his way in the
world almost since infancy, and it is
only doing him justice to say that he
did a good job.
Mr. Clark is in every way worthy
and well qualified for the position of
county superintendent and he deserves
your special considration.
He says that if nofninated and elect-
ed county superintendent he will con-
duct the office without a deputy, lie
has the interest of the schools of the
county at heart, and will use every
ounce of energy for the advancement
of same.
Thost. who know him best are his
loyal supporters. He asks for your
support and there is no one who will
appreciate it more than he, at the
primary, August 1st.

L. P. BARKER ANNOUNCES
As a Candidate tor the Democratic
Nomination for Sheriff of |
Cleveland County.
L. P. Barker, for twenty-seven j
years a resident of Cleveland county, |
for two years (1903-1904) Sheriff of|
the county, and for four years chief
deputy under Sheriff Pickard, will be'
a candidate in the primary on August I
1, 1910, for the Democratic nomination I
for Sheriff, subject to the decision of
the voters of that party on that day.
He is running on his record as a
man, as a citizen, as a sheriff and as
a deputy. If the voters of his partv
desire such a man as he is in the of-
fice of sheiiff, one who has p>oven
himself honest, square, straight and
true, one whose record has been that
of a strict enforcer of the law and the
foe of lawlessness in all its forms, this
is their opportunity. Should he be
nominated and elected the people
could and would have implicit confi-
dence that the affairs of the position
would be administered in a i able, hon-1
est and efficient manner.
Sheriff Pickard, when he assumed
the duties of Sheriff desired to get the
services of a man as chief deputy who
he could absolutely rely upon, and
picked L. P. Barker because he knew
nim. This was all the more a compli-
ment to Mr. Barker, because he was
not a member of Mr. Pickard's party,
and is a sure index to how he is re-
garded by men of all parties.
During his twenty-seven years resi-
dence in the county, Mr. Barker has
gone in and out among his fellow-
citizens, and we have yet to hear a
word of criticism against his private
or public character. He is recognized
by all as a clean, progressive, honor-
able and upright man, one whose word
is as good as his bond, and he has and
will take that character into his pub-
lic life.
Mr. Barker's record as an officer,
as a man, and as a citizen is before
the voters. He desires to be judged
by that record, and asks the influence
and votes of all law abiding and law
loving men in his behalf.

WATCH NORMAN GROW
xT
For 25 years we have been watching
and assisting Norman to grow. Dur-
ing these years it has been our policy
to secure, improve and hold as an in-
vestment as much of Norman real
estate as our means would permit.
Our only regret is that our means
would not permit us to secure more
than we now hold. It has all proven
profitable. We cannot buy all of the
good investment propositions still t
be secured. Years of experience with
real estate in Norman enables us to
make choice selections for investment
for others, as well as for ourselves.
If any of the readers of this adver-
tisement desire to be shown where
they can safely and with profit make
investments in Norman real estate,
we would be pleased to have them
drop into our office and look over
propositions we have listed.
