Ben Mott will handle the city's
money and will attend strictly to
his duties.
Vote fur Edwarus because he is
a democrat and is capable of male
ing Enid the best mayor of any
unan in the race.
Vote for Judge Peery for Police
.ludge because Peery knows how to
judge those who are lo be
judged.
lioys put your stamp iu the
square at the upper left side of [lie
democratic ticket. That means a
straight vote for democracy and her
nominees.
Every councilman on the demo-
cratic t'ckei will be elected if all
democrats du their duty. Will yon
do it ? The I >KMOCR.\ i believes you
will.
Business men Wy down your in-
dividual affairs toda\ and attend to
the public ones. The election <>l
the democratic ticket means much
more to you than a few dollars.
\ >te for F. T. Smith long term,
and John Everett short term, for
councilmen in the third ward. You
can bet your lottom dollar on their
democracy and ability in legislate
in ihe city's interest.
Judge Peery in years is voting
and tender but iu experience is well
up with our older judges and law-
yers. The election of Peery insures
all who seek justice in his court a
fair and impartial trial of the ca ss.
Thos. Chambers is adding lo bis
strength every day. The more the
people know of liiin the better thev
like him. What the < it) needs is n
lawyer of experience and ability. In
the person of Tlios. Chambers they
see\iiicll a man and will elect linn
by ii large majority.
The Townsite b.iard received the
patent for the towr.site of Enid
Saturday morning. That document
settled Ilie question ol who had
authority over the "square" which
has been argued for some time by
prominent men of this city. Jt says
"four aeies reserved f. r court house
site purposes and one acre for (be
government land office." Deeds
will be issued immediately and all
kinds of business particularly build
iug and real estate will commence
to boom. A very short time will
make a vast change for tuc better in
our already lively town and when
the bill granting ns a depot pusses,
as it soon will, just watch our
«m' ke
the Kiveiside Salt Works at Hutch-
inson, Kansas, are on a strike.
Edward's majority is figured all
t'10 way from 50 to 125. You can't
beat hi in at least.
bradley is n man who says just
what lie means and means exactly
what he says.
All Democrats are working hard
for the election of their ticket, full
and complete.
Judge Bradley's court is the fa-
vorite one with all who have griev-
ances to be adjusted. A vote for
Bradley is u vote tor justice when
you muct appeal to the court for it.
Parson .). J. Stanton is just the
man for city assessor. 11 is judg-
ment and experience on valuations
is such as to make him the right
mail iu the right place.
Vote for E. Woracek long term
and C. S. Mendenlmll short term
lor councilmen in fourth ward. They
are both property owners ami when
iliey vote their own interests are the
interests of the city.
The personal litness of all the
candidates for the office of mayor
have been properly considered and
no doubt a large majority of the
voters have already made up their
minds who they will st pport for this
important place. No candidate can
furnish a cleaner record than Ilarry
L. lid ware's. As a business man
his superior cannot be found, lie
has the ability, the good judgment
ami the will to do anything tin t
offers a chance to benefit the citv.
Vote for him and you will veto to
protect your interests and to install
into olliea a good democrat who tin-
derstands the term iu its original
m caning.
The light is on and today will be!
tested by the votes of the people!
who shall govern this city for the
next two years. This paper believes
after looking over the various can-
didates in the race that the demo-
cratic party has put b 'fore the peo-
ple a set of men to be voted for who
can be trusted to manage her affairs
honestly and ably. In coinpairiug
the city government of Enid with
those of our older cities in the ter-
ritory that have been under the
dominations of tlie republican party
and the non-partizau element. Wo
may feel proud at the result us we
find it here. No one has yet been
able to find anything vitally wrong
with the present democratic officers
in charge, although the time of their
rule Ims been the most difficult that
will ever confront a set of officers to
•manage. Remember that in voting
for the democratic ticket you are
voting for a broad, libeial and pro-
gressive government that no other
set of men can give.
The Zoo.
I.ast week the popular variety
had an entire change of program
with several new people. Nearly
all of the old performers are still
lieie including Miss Lulu Kent the
Laliue sisters, Ida Bertha and
Messrs Dohertv and Kelly.
The great slack wire performer,
Viilvo the Jan, is their latest ad-
dition. He was born iu Yeddo but
at nil early age came to this country
where he has performed for 15 years
w ith nearly all the best circuses and
theatrical companies on the road.
Messrs. Kelly and Metier say tllev
will not permit the attractions to
grow old but will add new features
as occasion demands. Tliey will
now have a change of program each
