JUDGE J. B. A. ROBERTSON
Democratic Candidate for
Governor
Why You Should Qive Twice
What You Did Before
The government has fixed the
sum needed for the care of the
men In the service at $170,500,000.
Unless Americans give twice as
much as ever before our soldiers,
sailors and marines In 1919 may not
enjoy their
3,000 recreation buildings
1,000 miles of movie films
100 stage stars
2,000 athletic directors
2,500 libraries supplying
3,000,000 books
85 hostess' houses
15,000 "Big Brother" sec-
retaries
Millions of dollars of
home comforts
Give to maintain the morale that
is winning the war now
I have never at any time, privately
>r publicly, through the press, on t lie
platform, or in conversation advoeat-
"free love," "no marriage cere-
mony," or the control by the state of
t>e child, nor have I ever said or writ-
ten anything which an honest person
could construe Into such libelous
charges. Store, on hundreds of plat-
forms I have proclaimed my belief In
the sacredness of the home, of mar-
riage, and tiie fact that the child's
care Is the mother's most important
contribution to her nation.

Woman's Committee of the Council of

Lieut. Coningsby Dawson, Fight-
j ing Author. Makes Stirring
Appeal for Y. W. C. A.
i
] Llent. Coningsby Dawson, who wrote
! "Carry On," says of t he war work; |
which the Y. W. C. A. is doing: "You j
jit home cannot fight with your lives;
>but you ean fight with your mercy, j
The Y. W. C. A. is offering you just) J
this chance. It garrisons the women's
support trenches, which lie behind the i
men's. It asks you to supply them j
with munitions of mercy that they I
may he passed on to us. We need j
such supplies badly. Give generously i
rfliat we may the sooner defeat the'
Hun."
j What Lieut. Dawson says of the Y. j
I W. C. A. he might have said of all the
Uiationai organizations which are com-j
• ing together for the biggest fiuancial j
!campaign that organizations have ever
(leaded. All the $170,500,000 to be
aised by the seven great national on
jganizations the week of November 11
iwill be used to garrison and supply
j the support trenches behind the lines.
| They are the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W.
|C. A., the National Catholic War Ooun-
| cil, Jewish Welfare Board, American
j Library Association, War Camps Com-
imunlty Service and Salvation Army.
, American girls in various uniforms

*i' nise In Brittany where the Signal
[Corps women live and a hut where
||he nurses spend their free time. Both
(these centers are fitted with many of
1 the comforts and conveniences of
home.
i "At a ten given at the nurses' hut
one Saturday afternoon," writes Sllss
Jiahel Warner, of Salina, Kansas, Y.
jw. C. A. worker there, "there was an
todd gathering—one admiral, a bishop,
a 'Presbyterian minister, a Roman
Catiiollc priest, a doctor, an ensign,
gone civilian and myself."
By Bruce Barton
I WILL tell you what will happen some
night this winter in France. Some
night when its cold and dark. There
will be a rustling through the front line
trench, where our boys stand guard. And
a heavy ladened Secretary will make
his way along.
In his hands will be great steaming
pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga-
rettes.
From one man to another he will go,
passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands
that tremble with the cold; bringing the
comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke,
.v. Men will hail him cheerily, slapping/
ifJJ him on the back; and when he has gone|
things will be a little easier in that trench
because he has passed that way.
How much will it cost to make that
trip, do you suppose? Counting the
pittance that the Secretary is paid, and
the cost of the chocolate and the ciga-
rettes and all?
Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars?
I do not know.
But whether it is five dollars or
twenty-five, I'd like to think that .it is
my five or twenty-five—wouldn't you?
That some night when it's cold and lone-
some, my money and yours might send a
Secretary out along that frontlinetrench.
Let's make up our minds that we are
going to pay for a score of those trips.
A score of the nights this winter shall be
our nights
—nights when th 2 boys greet joy-
ously the chocolate and cigarettes that
our money provided; and are happier
because our representative has passed.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Republican County Ticket
In view of the fact that Attorney General Freeland has decided that
winning candidates of all parties which had tickets in the field in the 1918
Primary are entitled to have the names of such candidates on the ballot at
the November election, no matter how many votes their party polled in such
primary, the Republican candidates for county offices in Cleveland county
will appear on the ballot in November, and the voters are requested to give
their candidacy earnest and thoughtful consideration. Their names will
appear on the county ticket, under the device of the eagle, on second column
of said ticket. To vote for them, stamp under the device, or in the square
in front of each of their names. They are:
For County Jud^e
□ JAS. M. GRESHAM
Judge Gresham has been a resident of Norman and Cleveland county
for some sixteen years, coming to Oldahoma from Tennessee. From every
standpoint he is worthy and well qualified, standing high among his breth-
ren at the bar, proving himself well versed in the law, honest and con-
scientious. The affairs of the widows and orphans (probate matters)
could not be placed in better hands, and his earnest convictions of right
and justice insures an upright adjudication of every matter coming before
him. As mayor of Norman his administration was a splendid one, and in
every walk of life he has shown himself able, honest and reliable. His
election would place a thoroughly competent man in the position of county
judge—which is, as all know, a most responsible position.
For Court Clerk
□ J. J. BURKE
Mr. Burke is an 89-er in Oklahoma, and a resident of Cleveland county
for twenty years, during which he was until recently the editor and
publisher of the Norman Transcript, and twelve of those years postmaster
at Norman. In every way he has endeavored to do his part in the building
up of the state, county and city. No one can or does deny his thorough fit-
ness for the position nor that the affairs of the office would be adminis-
tered in an able, conscientious and honest manner should he be elected. To
be so elected would be a well-merited appreciation of one who has been
faithful in all ways to the best interests of his state, county and com-
munity. «
For County Treasurer
□ EDF.SHINN
Mr. Shinn is one of the most substantial and thorough-going farmers
•f Cleveland county, residing east of Lexington, and no man in the county
stands higher for probity, conscientious sense of duty and thorough ability.
He has an excellent education, and would perform the duties of the office
in a manner that would reflect credit upon himself and those giving him
their support. A stamp in front of his name would be a vote for a thor-
oughly good man.
For County Commissioner
.□ C. F. COX
Perhaps no man in the Norman commissioner district is more thor-
oughly qualified for position- of county commissioner than Mr. Cox. Long
residence in the district has given him a thorough knowledge of its needs,
what is necessary to supply them and how to go about it. He has made a
deep study of the duties of the office, is well versed in all its ramifications
and would fill the bill completely and perfectly. He's a farmer, but also a
firstclass business man and would bring to the position those qualifica-
tions which the responsible position requires.
For County Commissioner—Second District
□ HENRY ftASBAUM.
M . Kasbaum is an enterprising, industrious and energetic farmer of
the country east of Moore, in the north part of the county, standing high
in his community, and would in every way well represent that part of the
county. He would give every part of his district a square deal and see that
it got its part of the benefit of the taxes.
Stamp for these men on November 5th and secure
honest, careful, competent officials.
Respectfully,
REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE
FOR CLEVELAND COUNTY.
(Pol. Adv.)
