W. U (Bill) Clay It is said has
promised the pool hall men that he
will be with, them. He has also prom-
ised a number of church people that
he will close the pool halls.
Who is going to be double crossed?
SAYS HE HAS NO SELFiSH ENDS
AND NO 8T?!IIN'.JS TO PULL
On next Tuesday the voters ot
Drumright will decide who shall be
mayor of the city for the next two
years. TJhe present mayor has held
the office for the last four years. He
is a candidate for re-election. The
people of the city know from said ex-
perience what kind of an administra-
tion he will give them if he is suc-
cessful at the polls again next Tues
day.
of their support. After I had agreed
to do so one of them came back to
me and said that in return for tneir
support I must agree to Certain de-
mands which they made. This 1 flatly
refused. Finding that they could not
use me for their nefarious purposes
the next I heard of them was that
they were grooming Mr. Clay for May-
or. I do not charge that Mr. Clay has
agreed to work their graft for them,
but it looks a litttle suspicious to say
the least. Mr. Clay has been on the
city council for some time. W hat ef-
fort has he made to improve the af-
fairs of the city?
Dr. H. J. Clark: Is it not a fact that
certain overtures were made to you
if you would resign in favor of Bill
Clay—that they would make it to
your interests to do so.
In response to this wide-spread
demand for a new deal in city
government I .vtvs among die first 10 , should be ms

tion to ths present iirtministration.
Soon after I consented to announce it
began to be rumored that Mr. Clay
would be a candidate. It is well
known t|at Mr. Clay is a member of
the present city council by appoint-
ment and has sustained that relation
to the administration for some rfme.
It is generally known that two well
known citizens were instrumental in
bringing out Mr. Clay as a candidate
and are strongly supporting him. But
there is another thing. *>erh«ips, not

There is much improvement that

These are trying times

needed. Economy must be the watch-
word. Efficiency and honesty must be
demanded of every public official. I
have no selfish ends to promote and
no one has any strings upon me. I

WHERE DO THEY STAND?
It is understood that if Bill Clay is
elected Eddie Welch will be placed on
the police force.
Who is Eddy Welch?
Is it not a fact that he is under in-
dictment for rioting in the city of
Drumright. Can the citizens place the
safety of the city in the hands of an
enemy of the city of Drumright. Riot-
ers and disturbers are enemies of the
city.
This is a question for the voters to
decide.
Every man who stands under in-
dictment for rioting in the city of
Drumright is a strong supporter of
W. L. Clay. If you do not know it,
ask any citizen who knows which way'
the disturbing element stands.
WHO ARE THEY?
There has been some talk as to
who are the members of the Taxpay-
ers Relief Association.
We' have been informed that the
chairman name, was Mann, Lee
about that high purpose. L,et tnose | KUng,er secretary; Eddy Welch and

THE PREFERENTIAL BALLOT
AND THE CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR
Dr. H. J. Clark to Remain in the Race
F°r Mayor To the Fin'sh
I desire my friends and supporters
for the office of Mayor of the City
of Drumright to understand that I had
nothing -to do with the inauguration
of the "Perferential Ballot' which is
now being circulated with the avci^ !
purpose of ceneentrating the vote of
"The Taxpayers Relief Association"
upon some one of the anti-administra
tion candidates. I do not question the
right of this association to determine
by tliis method or any other method
they might choose where it is wise to
throw their strength at the coming
election in order more certainly to
bring about the defeat of the adminis-
tration candidate, but I think the vote
should be confined to their own mem-
bership. I do not believe that any cor-
rect idea of the strength of the dif-
ferent candidates can be ascertained
by an indiscriminate circulation of
such a ballot and I do not want those
who are supporting me to be misled
by this movement. I have the best of
reasons to believe that this movement
was conceived in the interest of a cer-
tain candidate who was brought in to
this race by individuals who desire to
replace the present administration by
one which will be conducted not for
the general welfare of the city but for
the selfish purposes of those individ-
uals. We want a change, but not of
that kind. A new bunch of "grafters"
will do nothing to elevate the charac-
ter of our city government. A change
of individuals amounts to little unless
those individuals have the integrity,
ability and the courage to give us an
economical and efficient administra
tion. My oath of office is my "Plat
form." I will appreciate the. support
of all good citizens.
Respectfully
DR. H. J. CLARKE
Candidate for Mayor until the
WHO ARE THEY?
So you might know who the Tax
payers Relief Association are:
Mann. 'Chairman.
KlVigllT, secretary
Eddie ' Welch and O'Connor, speak
ers.
These are the persons who are sup
' porting W. L. (Bill) Clay for Mayor.
Are you with them, Mr. Taxpayer?
If so get in the hand wagon.
W. L. CI-AY: Is it a fact that you
promised two men from the Taxpayers
Relief Association jobs as policemen
and jailor? Etc.
—o—
Dr. H. J. Clarke says that thous-
ands of dollars has been illegaly col-
lected from the people of the city
for gas:—
Bill Clay's brother is the present,
manager of the gas company.
Do the citizens, one and all, want
to elect a man like Bill <11ay who will
try to unload the gas company on to
the city.
DR. H J CLARK: 'Is it not a fact
that you were approached and promis-
ed to be given support if you would
give certain overtures to parties if
felerited ?
W L. CLAY: Is it a fact that you
said you would publish certain article*
throwing discredit on Mr. Clarke
which would juake him resign in your
favor ?
DR. H. J. CLARKE: Is it not a
fact that you declared yourself again-
st W. L. Clay and that after being
approached with certain propositions
End you withdrew in favor of Clay?
