The merchandise sold here is at all times dependable. Never do
we allow any article whose value is questionable to enter our stock.
The goods you purchase can always be relied upon. We never sacri-
fice the quality of anything in order to name a lower price. Imperfect
merchandise such as "seconds" with a drop thread here and there and
articles not standard in size or weight are often sold as "first quality."
Not so here. Although you can always depend on getting the lowest
possible price for good dependable merchandise we never knowingly
sacrifice the quality.

Primary Law, Sections 7 a ad 13.
A few persons seem to have the im-
pression that the restrictions under the
uew primary law will be detrimental to
a party holding the same, in as much
as former primary elections have been
held in a very loose mannei in some
prtciucts. A primary law with no re
strictions upon voters would be more I White had just pa
than useless and a legislative body
who would pass such a law would be
guilty of passing criminal laws without
making a penalty for crime.
A democratic primary simply means
that all democrats may participate. A
voter may be a republican or socialist
in 1905 and in 1906 may declare his
intentions of affiliating with the demo-
cratic party. What narrow minded
person will declare that his party does
not want recruits. The name of the
party holding tlie primary is significant
enough to the average person's mind
that only democrats or those who will
declare their intention of affiliating
with that party may vote in said pri-
mary. Should any person attempt 10
vote aud be challenged as to his quali-
fications, the following sections would
be applied:
Sec. 7. That no person shall be
permitted to register and vote at such
primary election who is not a bona tide
resident of the precinct or ward in
which he offers to register, and who
will not be eligible to register and vote
at the election next following such pri*
mary election
Sec. 13. If any person offering to
vote is challenged as one unqualified,
one of the judges shall tender to him
the oath provided by statute for gener-
al elections, and propound the ques
tion ab in said statute provided, aud if
the vote is challenged ou  he ground
that the voter does not belong to the
political party whose ticket he attempts
to vote, they shall propound to him
the following questions, to wit:
••With which political party did you
atfiliate duriug the last general elect-
ion ?"
"With which political party do you
intend to atfiliate in the ensuing elect
ion ?"
And if, after answering said ques-
tions, the challenge be not withdrawn,
the judge shall require-him to subscribe
to the following oath:
"I do solemnly swear (01 allirm) that
I am a citizen of tin United States,
have been an actual bona fide resident
of the Territory of Oklahoma thirty
days next preceding this election, ami
have been an actual resident < f this
precinct for the last thiity days, and
have not yet voted at this election;
that I will be eligi1 le to legister and
vote at the next election for which can
didates are now t<> be nominated. I
further swear (or affirm) that I am a
member of the party
aud intend to affiliate with that party
at the coming election.
•Signed
And any person who shall refuse to
subscribe to such oath shall not be en-
titled to vote at such primary election
The judges of such primary election
are hereby authorized anil empowered
to administer such oath, and any per
son convicted or falsely answering any
of said questions, or falsely swearing
under such oath, shall be deemed guil
ty of a felony, and be punished as pro
vided by statute for perjury.
ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE.
