JREPTBLICAN CANDIDATES MAKE
ARDMORK rOLITICAL MECCA
Ed M Clark candidate on the Re-
publican ticket for L'nited Stales sen-
ator from Oklahoma is here today
rom his tome at Pawnee. He Is ae-
tompanled by A- M. Armstrong of
Hthe same city. Mr. Clark i9 making
Ita tour of every county in the state
iiln the interest of his candidacy and
'astates that he is receiving much en-
"couragenient in every portion of Ok-
lahoma. Ardmore also has as its guest to-
Wiay OoL Amos Ewing of Guthrie who
lis a oandidate on the Republican ticket
dor corporation commissioner. Since
Uake L. Hamon has been chosen Re-
publican national committeeman Ard-
cnore has become the Mecca of Ihe
Republicans as it has always been of
"the Democrats. It has always been so
'that no Oklahoman could be a full
jfcedged Democrat until he at least
had ma.de one visit to Ardmore and it
.may be said now that no one can be
a true blue Republican until he has l
Viade at least one visit to Ardmore. !
Here From Yellow Hills
J. A- Burdell of Madill Is an Aid
more oil field visitor today. Mr. Rur-
dell has for several years devoted his
time to the oil business. He Is in-
terested in the completion of the Tel-
low Hills well between Madill ami
Ardmore and is here lo get workmen
to fish the tools out of the hole. The
well is now at a depth of 2000 feet
the drill has penetrated a rock for
something like 60 -feet S.ul the owners
feel that when the drill passes out ot
this rock that an oil sand will be en
tered.
Another 'efl Makes Show
A report received here slates that
the Caddo-llewitt Mineral Trust drill-
ing on the south line of section 17-4s-2w
has found a sand that is
making a showing of oil. This well Is
a mile west of Wirt Franklin 'on the
Sehellenberger farm and Is a mile
ahead o production. .Should this well
prove to be a producer it would
prove up an immense territory to the
northwest of the discovery well and
would bring Hewitt to the door of the
Healdton field.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH II
Marion Ohio July 12. Preparatory
lo going into seclusion to complete
his speech accepting the Republican
presidential nomination. Senator Hard-
ing faced a busy day- today with a
number of engagements scheduled.
His f:rst conference was with Sena-
ior Cummins of Iowa who reached
Marion last night with whom he
dwicunsed tho political situation and
railroad problems.
Other engagements were with D. J.
T.iber of Rarnesville Ohio president
of the Ohio State Orange; Judge R. M.
Wunamaker contestant for the Re-
publican nomination to succeed Sena-
tor Harding in the son ate and Ray-
mond Robins of Chicago former head
of the Red Cross mission to Russia.
Owing to the short time elapsing
before his notification on July 22
Senator Harding' plans to secludo him-
self beginning tomorrow from all
visitors until lie oan complete his
speech.
The transportation and the high cost
of living problems were discussed at
conferences today between Senator
Harding and Senator Cummins of Iowa
chairman of the senate Interstate com-
merce committee and J. L. Tabor of
Rarnesville Ohio head of tho Slate
Grange. Both came at the senator's
request.
Senator Cummlnn later to the news-
paper correspondents emphasized the
gravity of the railroad situation
and the necessity for the wiso
handling of the transportation prob-
lem but asserted every day furnished
a vindication of the new railroad
law" not only as passed by the sen-
ate with the BO-called anti-strike pro-
vision but us finally approved by the
president.
"The. inability of the railroads lo
do the business of the country is
costing the country every day more
than tho German war cost the people
any one day" said Senator Cummins
who added however "the people of
tius country do not favor government
ownership at this time at "last."
He characterized the railrimd act as
the most progressive In recent years.
.fr. Tabor said he discussed the
transportation situation and the high
cost of living with Senator Harding
whom he found "keenly alive lo the
Importance of a proper recognition
of agriculture." und who reulizes the
recessity of agriculture properly func-
tioninf ohe nation Is to enjoy en-
during prosperity and tranquility."
"I feel confident that Senator Hard-
ing's utterances on rural questions
will appeal to the rural thought of the
nation" he added. Organbtwi agricul-
ture Is never political but the Ameri-
can farmer has felt he has not re-
ceived a square deal In recent years.
The fanner will think for himself and
rive his support to the candidate
whose utterances and record give
promise for the best development of
li-jial life."
Another visitor was Raymond Rob-
ifis of Chicago former head of the
Red Cros.s mission to Russia.

LOCAL RED
FINOS PITIFUL CASE
s
A pitiful case of the Illness of an
elderly woinay who bus suffered from
neglect has been reported to the lo-
cal Red Cros.1 by a stranger Who Is
here for a few days.
Upon receiving the report Mrs. C.
G. Squires secrelury accompanied by
Mrs. W. C. Raker chairman ot the
nursing department and Mrs. N- II.
Burkett American Red Cross nurse
recently attached to Carter county'
chapter went to the homo to make
investigation and report the following:
"Living In a hovel made from num-
erous boxes the filth and dirt beg-
garing description we found the wo-
man. She Is literally covered with ec-
zema from her head to below her
waist. She has grey hair -which has
been clipped and her head face and
ears arc covered with scales of tho
disease.
"It would be Impossible to describe
In detail tho horrible conditions. Siio
has only one old woolen dress whlclt
she is wearing she has not one gar-
ment of underwear no bed clothes
no shoes absolutely nothing but the
old dirty hot dress. You can "imagine how
she suffers from the dirt and tilth
of the scratchy woolen material.
"She told us that she had hud no
medical attention In two years. She
said she had lived In Carter county
fifteen years and no effort had been
made to help her.
"We were told by a neighbor that
her cuse had been reported several
times. On one or two occasions a
doctor had visited the place but
lii'hlng lad ever been dono about It.
"The little hovel is about one mile
from Main street near the Santa
Fe railway lake on the city dumping
ground. This takes it just out of the
city limit and therefore Is outside
the Jurisdiction of the city physician.
She stated that the county physician
had been there once but gave her no
relief.
"The womiin stated that thoy had
paid $-100 for the one acre of land and
the little hovel. They are still paying
out the place she said.
Mrs. Squires stated that this is the
worst case of filth she had ever seen
Cats and dogs abound the place. The
woman has a husband und son bin
apparently they are doing nothing fob
her or giving her any attention what-
ever. "We have not been able to se
them but will go into the case thor-
oughly and see what can be dune.
In the meantime under clothing and
wash dresses will be secured for her
und women of the town will be
asked to lend their assistance in
helpin gher.
FLIRTS WITH BRIDE OF
DEATH; NOW HER SPOUSE
Niagara FalK N. Y. July 12. River-
men were patrolling the Niagara gorgo
below the falls toeiay in the hope ot
recovering the body of Charles G.
Stephens of P.rlstol Engl.'uid who lost
nls life yesterday In an attempt to
duplicate the feats of Mrs. Annie
i-Mson TayJor und Bobby Leach by
going over the cataruct in u barrel.
Piece3 of the barrel In which Steph-
ens went to his death continued to
float ashore in the eddy on the Can-
r.dian side above The Maid of the
Mist laneling until nearly midnight
but Stephens body failed tu appear.
Experienced river men said it might
be several days before it would be re-
leased from the cross cunvuts at the
foot of the falls.
The staves of the barrel bobbed up
through the spume one by one and
were picked up 'as they flouted toward
the shore. The head with Its sealing
device was still intact. It was Im-
possible to tell which part of the cask
Rave way first under the force of the
15 foot drop and the pounding of
tho water but Bobby Leach declared
it was too light.
Leach warned Stephens before the
start that he was doomed to failure
but tho Englishman was confident his
cask was strong enough und refused
to listen to Leach's advice.
Leach saw the start but appeared
very nervous afterward and refused
to go down Into the gorge where the
b'rrel was expected to reappear.
"A steel barrel is the only kind"
said Leach. "If I can havo one made
by July 25 tho anniversary of my last
trip I will duplicate it."
(Tharlea George Stephens who was
killed yesterday In going over Niagara
Fnlls in a barrel was a barber extra-
ordinary. His hobby was performing spectacu-
lar stunts for which he received three
ribbons five gald medals and six other
medals. His specialties included kiss-
ing a Hon in its den shaving custom-
ers in a lion's den boxing in a lion's
den ' nnd parachute descents from a
bnlloon.

R. A. Raird candidate for the stata
legislature announces today that he
will address the citizens of Ardmore
at the corner of Main and Washing-

sues of the campaign. He will deal
especially with the county auditor's
bill that he strongly opposes and will
also take a few hot shots at th
open shop movement now being agi-
tated In the state.
Mr. Ralrd says he will" be pleased
to meet any one who desires to divide
time with him on these two sub-
jects and is prepared to defend his
attitude at all times.
It Is anticipated that a large crowd
will be out to ear .the-speaker on
the two subjects as the county audi-
tor's bill is alleged to have been
dratted especially for Carter county
at the last session of the legislature
and is strongly resented by county
officials who consider it a direct in-
sult to them and a reflection upon
their honesty.

tions. The Democratic and Republican con-
ventions their platforms and their
nominees were assailed by nearly every
speaker. John Fitzpatrlck denounce!
the platforms as "a denial of every-
thing which American people hav
detnunded and spoken for." He purlieu
lariy scored Governor Cox for his

uation. The governor also removed the

cause the aiiyor insisted the "legal
rights of the citizens of that town

up the mayor "that Canton might be
delivered to the steel trust" Fita.

set up a republic in the face of the
British empire.

ought to be losing sleep over here on
account of Ireland. Well I happen
to be a Sinn Feiner and I am not
worried about what the people of
Ireland are going to do. The people in
Ireland have had a peculiar knack
for a long time of working out their
own destiny and at the present
time they ure very capable of doing
that."
