To the Public.
Ardmore Okla. Aug 111
To the Voters of Ardmore and Carter
County :
Before the passing of another for-
1 ty-eight hours you will have settled
by your votes who will be your
choice for the various offices of this
county for the next two years.
Among the offices which will be fill-
ed by your ballots mill be that of
register of deeds. I am one of sev-
en asking your votes for this office
. on tomorrow. I want the vote of
every man tomorrow who feels that
he can conscientiously support me.
J have just closed a most tho-
rough campaign for this office. I
have made a clean race have
thrown no mud at any of my oppo-
nents. I have asked and am now-
asking your votes not because I am
poor and need the office though
Heaven knows no one in this county
could urge the reason with a better
right than 1 but I am asking
your votes because I am worthy and
well qualified to discharge the duties
of the office and because away last
fall (before anyone had even dream-
ed of such a thing" I started the
crusade in which I claimed that the
office of register of deeds of this
county the office I am seeking now
could be run with one deputy and
the man whom the people elected to
said office. j
At that time I was a reporter on
the Ardmore Morning Star and I
published in the columns of that
paper this statement When I an-
nounced for this office which was
weeks before anyone else did I
announced this plank in my platform
and with one possible exception
every other man seeking this office
has placed this plank in his plat-
form and is standing on It as an
original plank of his own.
I respectfully ask you to please
think this over and vote for JOHN-
SON the ORIGINATOR of the "one
deputy" movement
I originated this retrenchment
move I have promised the people
of this county an economic admin-
istration I have promised them that
should they elect me I will go into
office pull off my coat roll up my
sleeves and go to work myself end
f you will vote for me and elect
me I will do this. Everyone who
knows me knows that I do not lie
trot that I will do s I say.
Thinking my many iwarm friends
and supporters for what they have
already done for me and soliciting
most earnestly and respectfully the
support of all at the polls tomorrow
I make this last appeal to you for
help in this the greatest struggle
of my life.
Very sincerely and respectfully
yours

THACKERAY AS A REPORTER
Future Great Novelist Just the Man to
Enjoy Such Spicy Repartee as
the Following.
Thackeray once acted as police re-
porter for the London Diogenes and
performed bis work in no perfunctory
way. How the future novelist must
have enjoyed observing and recording
this bit of courtroom humor:
Pat Fogarty went oil the way from
Manchester to London in order to
thrash Mick Fltzpatrlek which he did
winding up the performance with the
assistance of an "awful horseshoe."
He was detected and brought before
Mr. Justice Simpleman.
"Well sir" began the court "you
came here from Manchester did you?"
"Your honor has answered correct."
"You see the complainant's head; it
was cut by a sharp instrument Do
you '"now what cut It?"
"Ain't your honor after sayln that
a sharp insthrumlnt did?"
"I see you mean to equivocate" said
the court becoming restive. "Now
sir you cut that head; you came here
to cut It did you not? Now sir what
motive brought you to London?"
"The locomotive per honor. '
"Equivocating again you scoun-
drel!" said the court waxing warm.
Raising up the horseshoe and holding
it before Pat he said "Do you see this
horseshoe sir?"
"Is It a horseshoe yer honor?"
"Don't you see it Is sir? Are you
blind? Can you not tell at once that
it is a horseshoe?"
"Bedad no yer honor."
"No?" angrily.
"No yer honor; but can yersilf
tell?"
"Of course I can you stupid Irish-
man." "Oh glory be to goodness see what
education Is!" soliloquized Pat aloud.
"Sure yer honor a poor. Ignorant
creature like mesilf wouldn't know a
horse's shoe from a mare's. ' Youth'a

Curious Lore.
It has been remarked as a curious
circumstance that Bonaparte and Wel-
lington were born in the same year
and that Burns and Hogg the Scotch
poets were both born on Jan. 25; but
It is more remarkable that the two
greatest dramatic poets of modern Eu-
rope Shakespeare and Cervantes both
died on the same day in the same
year April 23 1616. It Is further re-
markable that Shakespeare like the
great Raphael and Sobieskl. died on
the anniversary of his birth. From
Fennell's Shakespeare Repository

Cyclist Chased o l.lom.
Two motor cyclists Mr. and Mrs.
Macdonald the former a magistrate
at Milmba while returning from the
Zomba (Central Africa) coronation
ceremonies were chased for five
miles by two lions which showed no
fear of the noise made by the englnea
and galloped after the motor cyclists
with evident determination to kill
them.

1 believe the people will look at
this question from the standpoint
of hiring a man to do the work
and as much work as in a private
office where it is ex-pected that every
dollar exiiended shall count in good
faithful service.
1 have made this promise to do
the work wilh only one assistant
and that I will save the taxpayers
the wages of one assistant and I
mean to live up to it even to the
very letter. That promise was not
an idle one nor idly made. 1 CAN
and WILL do the work with one as-
sistant and uuless men are elected
to office who are prepared to make
good every pre-election promise
there is no hope or running the
county government more economic-
ally. The present Incumbent in this of-
fice is advertising widely and at-
tempting to make great capital out
of the fact that since statehood he
has turned over to the county treas-
urer the sum of $13071. The only
comment I desire to make is that
any other man would have done the
same or his bondsmen would instead.
No man deserves credit for doing
what the law requires of him.
Under my promise to the people
of this county if nominated and
elected and which promise I will
fulfill to the letter I would have
turned over to the county In the
same length of time several thou-
sand dollars more by doing the work
myself and saving the expense of
one assistant.
1 desire to express my sincere
thanks for the many courtesies ex-
tended to me during the campaign.
I have met many old friends and
made many new ones. I shall al-
ways love the people of my home
county for their uniform kindness to
me and I trust that I shall be thrown
closer to you by being made your
register of deeds for the next two
years.
dive me a chance to prove my faith
and sincerity by my works and I
pledge you my word and honor you
shall never have cause to regret it.

CHICKASHA SHIPS MELONS.
Over Fifty-Eight Thousand of This
Luscious Product Leave That City.
A solid train of fifty-five cars
loaded with watermelons left Chick-
asha Saturday bound for northern
and eastern markets. Each car con-
tained over one thousand large
juicy melons and the tables and the
gutters of the cities less blessed
than those of this section will bo
loaded with fruit of the vine.
It is said that the farmers around
Chickasha have agreed to load forty
cars a day lor the next ten days if
the railroads will agree to furnish
the cars.
What Chickasha has done and is
doing in the watermelon line can
easily be done by the people of Ard-
more. Nowhere even in this great
state can watermelons be raised in
a more lavish abundance than in Car-
ter county. Some days ago the
Ardmoreite suggested the feasibility
of forming a melon growers' associa-
tion. The suggestion eminated from
a leading Ardmore farmer-candidate.
Is it not well worthy of a careful
consideration?
The fruit growers of this county
have already organized for the pur-
liose of accomplishing a better and
more advantageous handling of the
Blberta peach crop. The good of this
organization is already being felt by
the peach producers. Better prices
have been gotten so far than ever
before and the peaches of this sea-
son's growing have scarcely begun
to move. If the growers of the El-
berta feel the benefit of the organi-
zation why will not those who may
produce the fruit "smiling on the
vine'' do the same? It seems that
what Chickasha Is doing should af-
ford food for thought and cause for
action among the Carter county farm-
ers. Nothing which the soil would
produce can be raised mith less la-
bor and greater profit if handled
and marketed right than the water-
melon. AVhile It may be too late to take
up the matter this season no time
should be lost in formulating and
perfecting plans for organization next
year. Th Commercial clnb of this
city will be only too glad to afford
all possible help in the matter.

A HEAVY VOTE PREDICTED.
Today s Rains Will Bring Out Full
Vote Especially in Rural Districts.
The steady downpour of rain to-
day will in i be opinion of many
cause the casting of a very heavy
vote lomomi.v. This will be especial-
ly true in the fanning communities.
The ground will be so thoroughly sat-
urated witli water that practically
no farm work can be accomplished
and in consequence the farmers will
turn out in large numbers to talk
for their favorite candidates to
work for iliem and to vote for them.
A great deal of interest is center-
ing around the offices of prosecuting
attorney county attorney county
judge register of deeds county su-
perintendent of school and county
clerk. The sheriff's race is also at-
tracting a great deal of notice. In
ail these struggles for preferment ex-
cept that of county clerk there are
numerous aspirants and the pros-
pects of a heavy country vote it
is thought will materially change
the lace of affairs and make it more
difficult to ' pick the winner."
ENTITLED TO HEAVY VOTE.
William Franklin a Home Man
De-
serves Our Support.
William M. Franklin of Madill has
a right to expect and does expect a
heavy vote from Carter county in his
race for congressman at large. Wil-
liam Franklin has been a friend to
humanity he has as fine n legisla-
tive record as any man who was ever
honored iwith a legislative office. He
has been interested in good laws
since he was a boy. He has fre-
quently gone before congressional
committees and has been a loyal
friend to this state. He will be no
stranger in Washington and will do
effective work from the day he
Niters the gi.at law-making body of
the country.
He lias been loyal to every Carter
county man who has ever announced
for a state office and Carter county
now has an opportunity to show her
gratitude.
The Gas Proposition.
.Indue Hefner city attorney of
Ardmore said to an Ardmoreite re-
IHirter this morning In response to
a query about the condition of the
Skilleru gas question that he had
prepared a number of contracts for
the approval of both the gas people
and the city of Ardmore. He said
that it had been his earnest endeavor
in drawing up these contracts to
see t hat the interests of the people
of the city would be well conserved
and protected.
Judge Hefner Btated further that
he had not nor would not try to
give Ardmore "the best of it" in
the deal but that he felt that the
people of this city as they were the
ones iwho would pay the taxes which
might be voted should have their
best interests looked after. The
judge said that he felt it was his
duty as an officer of this city to see
that the city would be protected
by a good and sufficient bond from
pecuniary loss that in drawing tip
all contracts for submission in thid
matter he had seen to it that sucu
bond w-as provided for and that the
gas people should be willing to se-
cure the taxpayers of Ardmore in
case the bonds were called for and
voted.
Rainfall for August.
More than two and a half inches of
rain has fallen here since the first day
of Atutist and the earth is thoroughly
wet and crops will grow remarkably
faBt. Cotton usually deteriorates in
August but the prospects are this
year that the plant will do its 'Ixti
growing during this month.
On last Fridar the rainfall was .8.1
inches Sunday .55 and Monday up to
noon l.lt). and a slow -ain has ben
faling all day long. Ti.e indications
are that the rain is general through-
out central Oklahoma.

WHAT THE PEOPLE IN THE
j WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTY
THINK OF SHELTON W. TYER.
I Some of the reasons why Sholton
Tver should be elected register
of deeds of Carter county Is first
he is competent having fitted him-
self for such duties as are required
in that office. He Is an expert at
typewriting a good accountant and
is both rapid and accurate in his
work. He promises to do the work
of the office with on0 assistant.
Siieltnn Tyer is a young married
man of exemplary habits honest and
industrious and with a bright future
before him. He asks tlie support of
the voters for the office because he
feels certain he is capable of filling
the office with credit to himself and
to the satisfaction of the people.
Last but not least Mr. Tyer has
announced his candidacy In the Oil
j City Derrick and has canvassed this
- part of the cc.iinty. He wants the
jvjters at this ii-jx as well as those
i ol ail the othur boxes to vote for
nun. and lie is right in expecting a
good vote to lp cast for him here.

THE DROUTH BROKEN
General Rains Over All Sections En-
tire State Gets Good Soaking.
Following the vood rainfall of eiy
yesterday morning a general rain be.
gan falling this morning which has
rt ached according to all reports all
over the state. Other states through
the middle west anil southwest whicn
has been feeling the need of rain for
the. past several weeks are also hav-
i ing heavy precipitations.
Cotton and late corn particularly
the bitter will be greatly benefited
by yesterday's and today's rains. The
extremely latel wet and cold season
last spring delayed the planting of
corn ai.d cotton very much. Conse-
quently a big acreage of those crops
are in condition now where this rain
is. in eVury sense of the word a god-
send. In the corn belt the late plant-
ing will lie most materially helped.
The ears w Ml be 'better filled and
to use an old saying "many nubbins
will lie spoiled."
Everybody is feeling good today
farmers m iniifai turei s merchants
and even candidates. This section
has already threshed and market d
the bM.ner oats and wheat crops of
many years and now while the corn
has b eii shortoned a little by the
dry month of July that shortag ) will
fie greatly reduced by this thorough
soaking rain and plenty of everything
is piactically assured.
