other states, and we note one thing in
particular, that the Oklahoma people
ar.i a prosperous and honorable ap-

are pleased to welcome, and we are
very glad to see our Oklahoma friends

Guthrie Men to Lead Republican Bat-
tle in Oklahoma.
oJe H. Norris, of Guthrie, was
j elected chairman of the republican
state committee on the first ballot at
the meeting of the committee in the
Chamber of Commerce, Oklahoma City
Tuesday. Norris received 36 votes.
His only opponent, Judge F. E. Gil-
lette, of Anadarko, received 25 votes.
Norris' election occasioned great en-
thusiasm, and was immediately made
j unanimous.
j The state committeemen met in the
i Chamber of Commerce rooms at 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The meet-
j ing was called to order by Chairman
j Charles E. Hunter. Hubert House, of
Love county, was named as tempoarry
secretary.
The credentials committee of five
reported fifty-nine committeemen of
the seventy-five of the state present.
Immediately after the credentials com-
mitee made its report, six more com-
mitteemen arrived, swelling the com-
mitteemen to sixty-five. Senator H.
E. P. Stanford and A. S. Kirkwood
were appointed by Chairman Hunter
to represent the two counties in which
no committeeman had been elected.
After a few brief remarks the com-
mittee went to business. The firdt
thing taken up was the election of the
state chairman. There were two can-
didates. Ine Morris and .Tudee Gillette.
[The tellers announced that Norris had
ed with cheers and much enthusiasm,
received thirty-six votes to his oppon-
ent's twenty-five. The vote was greet-
ed with cheers and much enthusiasm.
Norris' friends crowded around hin
with their congratulations. The mo-
tion was made to make the election,
which was done with the most hearty
good will. Mr. Norris was called on
for a speech. He made a short and
much appreciated talk that exemplified
the spirit of enthusiasm with which
the republicans of Oklahoma are
awakening to the work before them to
make the state republican at the next
election.
The committee then extended a vote
of thanks to Chairman Hunter for the
courageous way in which he had filled 1
his position as the head of the repub-
licans in Oklahoma. Mr. Hunter re-
sponded in a delightful speech, in
which he himself thanked the commit-
tee and placed himself in the ranks of
the men ready for the fight to free Ok-
lahoma from the "gang" and demo-
cratic bosses.
The next thing taken up was the
election of the secretary of the commit-
tee. There were three candidates,
House of Love county, J. T. Burns of
Carter, J. H. Cloonati of Adair. Mr.
House received 28 votes, Mr. Burns
11, Mr. Cloonan 15. Mr. House having
received a majority of the votes cast,
was declared elected.
The officers of the committee and
executive committee, upon motion of
the meeting, were authorized to select
headquarters.
The committee closed, its meeting
with a speech by Hon. Casslcus M.
Cade, national committeeman. Mr.
Cade, like all attending, seemed in ex-
ceptionally good spirits and made a
short and forcible speech, declaring
that Oklahoma was republican, that
the national committee believed it to
be republican, and had great hopes of
lining it up in the Taft column In No-
vember with a safe and solid majority.
"Work," emphasized Mr. Cade, "is ail
that is necessary."

Local Fans Treated to a Fine Game
of the Popular Sport Last
Friday Afternoon.
One of the best games of ball ever
played in Edmond took place at the
south ball park Friday afternoon. The
contesting teams were Norman and
Edmond. At the end of the nine in-
nings the score stood 3 to 2 in favor
of the visitors. Edmond led off well,
making a score in each the first and
second innings. Norman made two
runs in the third inning, neither of
which, however, was earned, but were
gained on account of an error in the
right field. Norman had two men on
bases when a big fly was knocked to
the outfield. Yeakel took a long run
for the ball, but the elusive sphere
slipped from his hands, and as a re-
sult two of the visitors scored. It
was one of those unfortunate errors
that are made sometimes in the prog-
ress of a ball game that are costly.
The same error could have been mado
a dozen other times during the course
of the game without changing the re-
sult, but coming as it did, with two
runners on bases, it decided the game.
In his eagerness to catch the ball,
Yeakel did not realize the long run
that he was making, neither was he
aware of the fact that he had invaded
the territory of the center fielder.
However, it was a magnificent effort,
but was beyond the possibilities of
the popular left fielder. The visitors
made another score in the sixth in-
ning, which decided the game. It
was the only earned run on the part
of the visitors. Both of the Edmond
runs were earned.
Taken as a whole, Edmond played
better ball from every standpoint. Lis-
ten pitched a godo game and was well
supported. Earl Hopkins as umpire
avo good satisfaction, both to the
spectators and the players.

Edmond defeated the Pioneer Tele- |
phone company nine of Oklahoma :
City, on the home diamond Wednes-
day afternoon, by a score of 5 to 3. J
It was a good game and full of in- 1
trest. The feature of the game was
Yeakel's steal home from third.
While the pitcher was "winding up"
his arm for delivery, Earl made a
dash for home. The ball reached the
catcher before Earl touched the plate,
but before the catcher could recover
Karl had crossed the pan. It was a
bold but a pretty piece of base run-
ning.
