MUs Alice Paul chairman of the

turo of Secretary Colby completes the
suffrage struggle in this country"
she said. "In spite of every obstacle
that our opponents cauKl put in our
way. women have won the right to an
equal voico in the affairs of this gov-
ernment. "Woman's party will not relax its
vigilance however until it Is satis-
' fled that no further attempts would
be made to wrest from the women of
the United States political equality
which they have won."
.Miss Paul planned to go today to
.Yw York to call a meeting of the
executive committee of the party at
which the date for tho national con-
vention to fix future pohcy would be

FAILURE Of GAS WELLS

in
In further explanation of the warn-
ing which is beins Issued by the Con-
sumers Light and Power Company re-
garding the buying of winter fuel now
it. M. Saubert manager of the com-
pany states that the company Is not
anticipating any scarc t . of gas hut
that there is a pussibd.ty of a rhjrt-
age due to natural causey (.las wells
explains -Mr. Saubert which have
been drilled and are now producing
may play out new wells now being-
drilled may not produce the amount
of gas expected and others may not
produce at all.
The Consumers Company has con-
tracted for a si.rtU'icut supply of gas
to take care of all demands. Mr. Sau-
bert said. Tho pi-jduct.jn of the Em-
pire Company 40000000 foot gjs.ier In
tho Fox l Id has already been tuk'ii
over and the company Is now drill-
ing a well in the Graham field. Kight
wells in tho iraham Held have been
contracted for and if the production
of the wells thus contracted for by
tho Company Is equal to the amount
of gas expected of tiiem. there will be
an over-abundance of the fuel.
Referring to an "announcement -re.
cently made by Liallas and Fort
Worth Texas gas companies to the
effect thut these cities would be
rupplled with a sulflcient amount
of gas fuel this winter .Mr. Saubert
rays that he 'cannot understand why
gns companies of tho.;e cities should
rescind their warning to consumers
inasmuch as the Lone Star Compuny
which as beerT supplying Dallas and
Fort Worth has deserted the Graham
field and nil production from that
' territory will be used by the Consum-
ers Company to supply local demand.

James H. Mathers h:is returned to

New Yoik nnd other cities of the
east. .Mr. Mathers says lie had a

to be the.. '-same old great city" where
there is "everything."
.Mr. Mathers .said that the chief
topic of conversuiion in the east is
politics and that the favorite son is
Cox. Three of tho leading papers tie (

strongly in favor of Cox both In
their editorials and otherwise. The
majority of Independent papers in
Ohio have also declared for Cox he
says.
Labor and Capitalists for Cox
Mr. Mathers came into contact with
leading politicians of New York City
and learned that both the laboring
classes and the capitalists are for the
Democratic nominee. The laborers are
for Cox because his administration as
governor of Ohio has been fair to
labor and they have confidence In
him. The moneyed interests are for
him because they desire that com-
mercial relations between this coun-
try and Germany b resumed us ure
the relations of other countries who
were our allies during the war. They
realize also that the ratification of
the league of nations is the only way
in which a peace with honor can be
brought about. "And Cox" continued

St. Louis Aug. 26. The bolsheviki
were pictured as enemies of democ-
racy of Lincoln's Ideal of government
of the people by the people in an
address by Sir Auckland Geddes deliv-
ered before the American Bar Associa-
tion's annual convention here yester-
day. The British ambassador declared
that the bolsheviki were the real reac-
tionaries endeavoring to establish a
privileged class called the proletariat;
to force on society a great idea re-.;ard!e:-s
of whether society wanted it
fcr Auckland declared that Great
P.ritain and the United States are
"co-trustees for humanity; that the
theory and practice of democracy
shall not suffer distortion or diminu
tion in spite of avalanches oosed
upon it by the enemies."
"The idea is to continue without a
series setback." he said "we people
who believe In it will have to stand
firmly together for there are powerful
forces opposed to it. So far as we
know the millions of Asia have op
posed tho idea throughout all their
history although a small number of
Asiatics are now loud in lis support
islam necessarily is opposed to It. The
bolsheviki uij naturally violently 0
posed to it. So too Is everyone who
has what he regards as a big idea
or great principle of Incalculable good
which he or rhe wishes to force upon
the people whether they wish it or
not.

between our nations I believe noth
ing is more Important than this that
you and we stand together to defend
the hard-won hope of mankind that
through law made by the people for
their own discipline man will st last
escape from the tolls that have snared
the feet of his ancestors nnd will
have taken a great stride toward so-
lution of tho problem how he will live
In communities in peace and ordered

AFTER MONTHS OF MOST
WATCHFUL WAITING THE
CENSUS BUREAU TELLS
US THAT WE HAVE OVER
140011 POPULATION
UNCLE S.A.MMIE'S CLERKS MUST
HAVE WOBBLED WHEN THEY
COUNTED UP THE SUM
TOTAL OF THIS CITY'S
CITIZENSHIP
The sentence long delayed long sus-
pended long held over the heads ot
Ardmore's citizens has been handed
down. The high court ot the Census
Department has rendered its decision
and sentenced Ardmore to ten years of
population at 14131
All these nice little press notices
all these nice little stories about the
metropolis of Southern Oklahoma hav-
ing a total number of 25000 souls
including the saved and the unsaved
the washed and the unwashed have
been given the black-eye and brand-
ed with the mark of Ananias by the
heartless wretches who preside over
the clerical department o. tho Census
Bureau.
Ot course we know-
woman and boy and
of us that we have
measley little U.1S1
-every man and
girl and infant
more than tho
which the bu-
rcau is willing to concede to us. Bui
what we know don't go very far when
confronted with the llgures great big
black figures winch says we oiuy 1
have the fatal H.lil.
Now the good people of Ardmore
would v.ct for one moment oust any
refloclon3 upu t)lu ttalf
In the Cen
sus Bureau. We would not retlect
upon tho acum.n ot the Democratic
administration which appointed the
tellers and counters and other barna-
cles who went over the figured and
gave out the total population uf Ard-
more us the same came to us and
other papers over thu Associated
Press wires.
But we will say this while we havo
always supported Mi. Wilsan nnd de-
fended his every i ction he will have
to "amend" his class Of census stud-
ents or we'll go over and be ug'in hint
league of nations and all.
Ardmore should be entitled to 2'v
000 population according to the cen
sus returns even If those returns liavi
to be gone over and recounted and
retahuluted and reverifie.1 and rs-
Juvinsted. Of course being a Democrat we
want an honest count for Aid- I
more. And we are going to have this
honest count even it half or three
quarters of our tabulated population
has to be counted tw!"c to give it ta
us.
We nre going to have that honest
count even if we have to name special
enumerators .nnd relmbue with life
the mortality list of this section and
make conservative estimated lists ot
prospective (infantile) citizens.

LAKUED OPTICS.

paign funds was described here today

tire country as at present.
"Of the amount already collected by
the national commission something
like 5:i00000 New York has contrib-
uted only $216000 while in former
national campaigns the state's share
of the total has been at least 75 per
cent." Mr. Upham said.
Commenting on Governor Cox's as-
sertion that "millions tiad been raised
by the Republican organization to buy
an undeiTi.ld on the presidency" .Mr.
Upham d' dared that if sums collected
by the national state and cuunty oi
g.'.nization:: were lumped together the
total would be loss than 5 per cent
of lh? $l."i. 000.000 named by Governor
Cox.
Uf the $2000000 assigned to New
York as its campaign quota Mr. L'p-
liam said only ona-third would go into
the national fund.

Bitterness Over the Result.
When the wires flashed the news
Into Ardmore this morning that the
census returns showed the population
of the city to be a trifle over 14000
and a spirit of gloom prevailed the
streets and drooped about the busi-

and sympathy and reproach.
According to the official report ot
the local weather bureau 2-3 ot Hh

ratio which the census returns bear
to the expectations of Ardmore boost-

boosters had promised us that ths
Ardmore population would be shown
