and a baggage car were reduced to
wreckage. No passengers were ser-
iously injured—It is thought that the

son of Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood, who
were formerly residents of this city,
and if so the young man was well
known in this city. It is reported that

All this paper asks of the intelligent
class of voters at the election next
Tuesday is that they vote according to
their convictions and pay no attention
to the "slush" that will be poured into
their ears by so called friends, We
will haVe no fears as to the final out-
come.
The howl which has gone up in the
Republican camp about the "Demo-
cratic Disturbance Committee" is sim-
ply a lot oi rot Intended for the sole
purpose of catching the unwary voters
who would otherwise vote as their con-
science dictated and not listen to any
man who promises this and that. The
cartoon on the first page of this paper
is self explanatory, showing as it does
the source from which the said "dis-
turbance committee" emlnated in
one small mind.

Edmond people would like to know
why the Oklahoma City papers have
"got it In for Edmond people and Ed-
mond institutions." There has not
been a fair or truthful report concern-
ing Edmond printed in any of those
papers for many a day. The latest
instance they have used was the report
of the base ball game between Edmond
and Norman a week ago last Tuesday.
The Times-Journal (reo.) gave their
sister town a black eye good and plen-
ty. Yet when it comes to any athletic
meet, etc., they are the first to ask
Edmond for their support and they us-
ually get it It's up to Oklahoma City
to treat us better or else we will start
an armed boycott.
