Ashland, July 28 (Special).—The
following telegram was sent to Jean

of Senator Gore's campaign mana-
gers, following Day's speech here on
behalf of Gore:
"Jean P. Day, Okla. City, Okla.

"We didn't get our Transcript to-

depending on that paper to find out

Thus spoke a woman to the cir-
culation manager over the telephone I
late last night. And this is only a
fair sample of the number of our
readers who have commented about
the special campaign edition of this |

Polo will be played by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce team against
the Army on Baehr field, just weat of
the armory Thursday at 6 o'clock.
Admission is SO cents.
Each player has done considerable
practicing since the Fifth of July
game and has about three extra pon-
ies. so the game ought to keep up a
hot pace through out.
Carl Giles, Neil, Montford and
Graham Johnson will represent Nor-
man against Captain Baehr and Ser-
geants Haney., Hanna and Shrader
for the army.
"Horse-back croquet" which is a
nickname for polo, is one of the few
sports in which British excel Amer-
icans in the Olymphic games, it is
said. Possibly Norman will develop
a player of international caliher in
this game with which most Americans
are unfamiliar, it was suggested.

WESTERN UNION MEN
DOUBLE UP SHIFTS!
"The third triclf man on the tele-
graph desk left the other two of us
to hold down the key the whole twen-
ty-four hours," grinned Ed Cassity
local Western Union head, prefacing
his announcement of the marriage of
Wm. F. Nolan telegrapher, to Miss
Mary liaker, daughter of J. J. Baker,
Santa Fe station agent.
That leaves two men working
twelve-hour shifts to hold the tele-
I graph key open, aud Cassity declared
that it would be possible for a while,
but it would be no snap.
Nolan has tried to get a man to
relieve him here for a time this sum-
mer but he must have decided to take
the matter into his own hands and
marry anyhow, it is thought.

C. 1). Webster
Democratic candidate for Congress, Fifth district, sub-
ject to the democratic primaries, August 3rd. Headquar-
ters on my farm one half-mile west of stop 11 on Norman
interurban line.
1 would have loved to make an active canvass and met
personally those who I am asking to support me but a-
I am farming over five hundred acres of land and with
the present shortage of labor I could not well spare the
time neither do 1 think it should lie necessarv for a can-
didate for congress to open an expensive office with half
a dozen secretaries and chase all over seven counties like
a book agent asking support.
But I promise you this: If I am nominated at the
primary, August 3rd, 1 will visit all of the larger places
and explain what 1 purpose doing if elected your represen-
tative in Congress. And if you see fit to elect me your
representative I will- place my farm under a competent
manager give up all of nn personal business and devote
my entire time to the duties imposed upon me as a con-
gressman.
I sincerely believe with the knowledge of the trust
methods secured by actual contact with the unprincipled
methods of the great oil trust through forty years of suc-
cess as an independent refiner and the co-operation of my
constituents, I may, God helping me, be able to show the
American people where laws can be made effective and new
laws enacted that will curb these great trusts that are
making it so hard for the fanner and working man of this
great country of ours. ,
We have at present three hundred and eighty-nine law-
yers and professional men in Congress and only eight
working men and eleven farmers in congress. If you
really think one more fanner in Congress would be ad-
visable vote for the undersigned, but if you really tlunk
you should add one more lawyer to the 389 vote for your
good citizen who has declared.
No matter who you intend to vote for come to my
farm next Saturday the 31, and firing a lunch and I will
provide all the barbecued meat and coffee you mav wish.
I am asking all aspirants for office to come and it will be
worth your while to meet such a fine bunch. Barbecued
meat will be served at noon and in the evening for those
that cannot come earlier, lhee will be a greased pig,
greased pole and all of the old time amusements.
Come and get acquainted. Webster farms, stop 11 or
twelve one the Norman line one half-mile west.
VERY TRULY,
G. 1). Webster
