THE CHANDLER PUBLICIST
VOL. 13.
CHANDLtL', LINCOLN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, AHI^IL 5. 1907.
NO. 49
WHO'S WINNER
Citj Election Passed Off Quietly.
Tickets Badly Scratched. City
•Administration Remains Re-
publican.
The battle has been fought and
both sides claim a victory, though
more democrats than republicans
'were elected. It was a hard fought
struggle, the workers in both parties
keeping on the jump from early
morning until the polls closed in
the evening, and it was not until
the votes were counted that the re-
sults were known, that is with the
exception of a few who run way
ahead of their ticket.
As it is we still have a republican
mayor and council, city attorney
and treasurer of the school board.
notes
Don't kick.
Somebody lied. ,
The sewerage bonds lost.
We'll do it to you next time.
The bonds have gone glimmering.
A. D. Wright always was a win-
ner.
It is a mighty good bunch any-
way. • *
The ladies voted just like old-
timers.
Frank Kurt won out on the home
stretch.
Logan beat Hoyt by two. The
third ward did it.
W. H. Uiner proved himself a
"go-get 'er" right.
The question now is, is Chandler
republican or democratic?
Candidates on both tickets were
knifed in nearly every ward.
Vic Decker runs like a thorough-
bred and was a winner from the
start.
Mayor Gulick's administration
was endorsed by the people, though
Charley Tilghman made a good run.
It was a tight race bet-ween Oleson
and McGaughy in the second ward.
The latter went in by a majority of
three.
Hinchey skinned McFadden by
one vote in the 4th ward. Looks
like their neighbors tried to even up
things.
Billy Mullins exhibited running
qualities that made the voters ir
the first ward sit up and take notice
He won by nine.
It was neck and neck between
Downey and Morris. Morris got
one vote to the good
dared the winner.
The official* count may sliow up
a different result in reference t(
some of the small majorities—then
again, it mightn t.
When it comes to getting there J
Bart Foster and Chet Armstrong
are sure winners. Fact is, they
hardly knew when to stop.
Congratulate the winners and
console the losers. When it comes
to a show down we are all in favor
of the best there is for Chandler.
As the democrats won'out yre are
mighty glad that they had their
best men on the ticket. They are
capable of giving Chandler a good,
progressive administration.
One of the big surprises was Dave
Ward losing to Chas. Spencer.
Dave had been picked for a winner
by many of the democrats, i>ut the
■ bloody third" did for him.

through the canal which connects
with Tamiahua lake, which varies
frum one to twenty miles in width.
The country is tropical and the
most beautiful that your humble
servant has ever beheld. Oranges,
bananas,Times and lemons grow in
profusion. Corn- in roasting ears
and some just being planted. No
certain time to plant seed. Time
seems to be just when* one gets
ready to plant.
Hundreds of.Aineiicans are com-
ing in buying up the lands. We
! have met" men from nearly every
state in the union, and all hungry
tor land. The price of land is go-
ing up rapidly. To seethe country
makes one want to live here vOie're
there are perpetual green forests,
beautiful (lowers, nature as it were
dressed in herdress of green,
pered by a cool sea breeze.
Oil the' night of March 18 our boat
ran on a sand bar so we simply
camped there until next morning,
the nearest shore being about live
miles .distant.
We leave here on the 21st oti our
return trip to Tampico.
Tamiahua is a collection of adobe
and cane huts, probably two thou -
unlsouls, prini-ipal industr\ is
j fishing. There is one church which
is claimed to have been built about
j three hundred and fifty years ago.
: Most of the church property, in the
I way of buildings, belongs to the
government. The church land \his
given back to the peons at the time
of the separation of the church and
state. There are fine openings here
for Americans with a small capital.
There are but few factories of any
kind throughout the republic. I
visited the public school in
Tamiahua. The children are taught
in Spanish and all study their hs-
; sons out loud which was finite
'amusing. The higher grades are
: taught English.
