DOOR AND KILLED
Dresden, Tenn., May 4.—A hundred
men with twenty blood hounds are scour-
ing the woods at Reeitoot Lake Thursaay
for Joe Means and Sydney Means, broth-
ers, who are believed to have called
Jesse Workman from his home at 11

dead in the doorway. During the past

mies. A lyn< hlng is feared. Sherifl
Brasfield says he will ask the governor
for militia if the demonstration gets be-
yond his control.

CHARTER CANDIDATES arc milking hundreds nf votes every day beeause TIIEY
ARE STICKING to the ONE IMPORTANT issue of the campaign for the election of a mayor
and four commissioners to INAUGURATE and ADMINISTER the COMMISSION FORM OF
GOVERNMENT.
TIIE WHOLE CITY is thoroughly aroused to the absolute necessity of keeping np
its fight for a change from the CITY HALL RING and all men CONNECTED WITH IT
in any way. ^ rwrv> e
TIIE PEOPLE wore alive to that necessity when they voted TIIKEE TO ONE for the
adoption of the CHARTER. ^
THEY are more alive today to the necessity of voting the SAME tor the
CHARTER CANDIDATES because they know that the same RING that OPPOSED the
ADOPTION nf the CHARTER are now backed up in a corner FIGHTING DESPERATELY
the INAUGURATION and ADMINISTRATION of the CHARTER by its PROVEN FRIENDS.
Oklahoma City went a dizzy pace in becoming known us THE FASTEST CROWING
CITY IN THE WORLD. Us good people did NOT pay as close attention to the public
officers as they would if they had not been so busy building the WONDER < ITY .
BUT THE DAYS OF ACCOUNTING CAME.
THE PEOPLE HAD ALL THE BEST OF THE FIRST ROUND, ADOPTING THE
CHARTER BY A THREE TO ONE MAJORITY.
Did the ring quit 1
IT DID NOT.
PARTS OF TIIE DEMOCRATIC CITY HALL RING MADE USELESS BY THEIR
OBNOXIOUS OPPOSITION TO THE CHARTER AND ITS CAUSE OF GOOD GOVERN-
MENT WERE REPLACED BY OTHER MACHINE POLITICIANS AND THE GANG WAS
READY FOR ANOTHER CAMPAIGN OF OBSTRUCTION.
BOOTLEGGERS AND GAMBLERS, who took such a prominent part in OPPOSING
the adoption of the Charter, again rushed to the aid of the RING.
EVERY TRICK known to the GANG POLITICIAN is being used to DEFEAT the
CHARTER CANDIDATES so that this city again will be ruled by men who are not free
to do their WHOLE DUTY by the WHOLE PEOPLE.
But the PEOPLE are SURE to WIN the FINAL CHARTER BA 1 PLE.
A VOTE for the CHARTER, its INAUGURATION and ADMINISTRATION by its
FRIENDS who wUl be UNFETTERED and FREE to do their WHOLE DUTY by the
WHOLE PEOPLE will be a VOTE for the following Cll\RTER CANDIDATES—
J. F. WARREN, for Mayor.
THOS. H. HARPER, for Commissioner of Accounting and Finance.
GUY E. BLACKWELDER, for Commissioner of Public Works.
CHAS. W. FORD, for Commissioner of Public Safety.
WILL H. CLARK, for Commissioner of Public Property.
