Many Investors and

Investors from every section of the
country are already Hocking to El
Reno In view or the boom in all lines
resultant from the location of the
packing plant and other large fac-
tories. The Chamber of Commerce
has good prospects of locating a
.shoe factory, woolen m.Hls and other
industries in the near future. Pro-
perty is booming as never before;
the record breaking sale at Boynton
.Heights shows the spirit in this city
and the value of El Reno real estate.
And investors in other sections are
not slow to notice El Reno's .increas-
ing importance as a commercial cen-
ter. Boosters, 'builders and buyers
are here in numbers and all are of
the opinion that the Unjoin here has

store and residence buildings will
soon 'be constructed and those now ,
under way will be hurried to comp'le-j

High School Play.
JThe men J tors of Class 09, El Reno
High wvttool, are meeting with suc-
cess in ..iC sale of tickets for their
play, "The Merchant of Venice Up to
-ate," which is booked for May 21,
in the El Reno Theatre.
In cutting down to their size"
Shakespeare's great, comedy, the
members of the class have succeeded
| in making a piav which they are in
I every w«ay capable of producing, and
j they have done it in a very clever
and appropriate manner. In ks
modernized form the piece is purely
i school play.
The characters, which are chang-
ed around slightly, consist of Sen-
ior and .Junior pupils, teachers and
others, 'i ne plot is not altered. The
play is reduced from five to three
acts, which all will agree is an im-
provement. Each act is divided into
two scenes which are blended into
each other by what s known as the
transformation process. The exce 1-
ent stage effects of the El Reno Thea-
tre make it possible for amateurs to
produce work of this character equal-
ly as well as professionals.
In order to have enough charac-
ters to give each number of the class
a part, some new ones were added.
I These were all female characters,
which of course, rmi&kes Jbhe p|la>
much better. Following is the story
of the play:
While practicing for "the great
Thanksgiving game," Anton on and
Gratiano discover Bassanlo's infatu-
ation for Portia, a rich heiress. When
Portia's father died he left a decree,
which Bassanio reads to his com-
panions. The decree declares that
the future husband of his daughter
must be well versel in the "language

At
Washington, D. C., .May 13. "I
have read the election law passed by
the recent Oklahoma Legislature and
it is highly important that every
citizen of the state understand the
act and its purpose," says Congress-
man Bird S. McGuire. "The people
will remember that it was only a
year ago when a non-partisan elec-
tion law, passed by a republican eg-
lslature, with no thought of politi-
cal advantages, was repealed for no
other purpose than to disfranchise
the voters of the state and take what-
ever advantage there is to be had
from au intensely partisan election
machinery.
"But the rural election boards and
the people of the state were too hon-
est for the legislature which passed
that law, and the desired result was
not obtained. The people voted, and
in most cases a partisan election
board permitted them to vote their
sentiments, and the republicans gain-
ed 20,000 over the election of the
previous year. This seems to be
sufficient to frighten tin- suc<. • 1 ng
democratic legislature, to the extent
that they showed a willingness to go
mi to .any extremity to prevent further
I ; republican gains in the state, and the
f . law was again revised, and 1 under-
•take to say that no state in the l'n-
ion today has so intense, unjust and
detestable election law as Oklaho-
ma.
"The election machinery is abso-
lutely and unqualifiedly in the hands
of on>' .-ingle p< : -on— tin- governm
of the state. Under the law he does
not have to appoint a single republi-
can mennber of the board. It' eing le t
entirely to his discretion as to who
the state election board shall be;
and entirely to the discretion of the
state board as to the personnel of
county boards; and to the county
■lijtord as to the
pier not board-; and to the precinct
boards us to the personnel of the offi-
cial counters.
"No republican, populist, socialist,
or of any political faith other than
the democratic party, m-ed be upoa
any of these boards un ess th limit
of gall is reached in Its organization.
In which even other than the demo-
cratic party might get a representa-
tion in some localities.
"This statement in part will be
disputed, and the people will be
told that me party other than the
s demew rath p irty shall hasa mInorlt)
representation. But the> shoul 1 al-o
bear In mind that this minority repre-
jLjitntation la not suggested
f iu1m.ii in I'.irt \. :• it I • the
governor and the election 'boards,
which means that they can select any
man of any poiltloa) faith, who might
kfor tha time balm or for any p^
pose, stale that he belonged to this
party, or that party, whichever or
whatever may suit his pleasure. In
wh ch event the republican party,
nor no other party would be able to
change the personnel of the board
where appointments nad been made.
"So other state has gone so far, or
exhibited such unparalleled anxiety
to disfranchise her people. But a
new and unheard of feature has
been engrafted into this law.
"The state is put to an enormous
expense to pay partisan politicians
to go about over the county in each
township listing all such persons as
voters whom they desire. It should
be understood that this inspector to
whom 1 refer, with registration books
are partisans—all democrats, and to
this there is no exception, and from
their judgment as to whether a man
has the right to vote, there is no
| appeal.
■ "If the inspector lists half of the
voters of a precluct and omitted the
other half, it is a matter entirely to
J his judgment and discretion. None
S but those whom he registers can
vote, and upon him is imposed no ob-
ligation. He can violate every trust;
he can transgress the aw at will;
he can d sregard the wishes of the
people; he oan disfranchise the hon-
est voter, and for any or all these
tihi; gs this partisan legislature over-
looked placing upon him for such
conduct a penalty, thereby inviting
this partisan registration inspector
to go to whatever extremity, or to any
extremity, he may desire to win an
election.
"If half the states of the Union
were to pass such a law the govern-
ment would not live twenty-five
years. Such action and such law is
entirely foreign to the spirit of the
Constitution of the United States,
which provides that all men are cre-
ated equal and endowed with con-
tain in i en ii ile rights. They even
relieve the court of saying whether
a man is entitled to have his ballot
and his suffrage protected under the
law, making the decision of the in-
spector and the "board final in etery
particular.
sons who read the law. that it is a
heavy penalty for g ving a party a
thing of value or even a cigar with
i view of influencing his vote, bin
it will also be noticed that the judge
of ele ilons, who does not desire to
return the poll hoiks and steal the
ant .re praclnat a id all tha votaa
therein, suffers the enormous penalty
j 'f forfeiting $2.00 of h s pay, an 1 as
1 now remember a S ight misdemea-
nor punishable only by a light fine
if my memory serves me correct, the
maximum being $-5.00. Understand
his is for the stealing of one vote
or 1.000 votes—It makes no differ-
ence which.
"The hon< -t citizen who believe*
in a square deal and fair play. In
my judgment, will never subscribe
j to any such infamy or be reconc led
to any such a law. I can't conceive
of a more shameful or disgraceful
act than to undertake, with fore-
thought and deliberation, to steal
the votes of honest men (or the pur-
pose of securing part) advantage."

Oklahoma City, May 13.—Mrs.
Emma Pnickett, "Shorty" Jones and
James Wilson, charged with attempt-
ing to murder L. E. Pr ckett on the
night of May 3. were committed to
ja' 1 Wednesday afternoon to await
the action of the grand Jury. John
Wilson, who was charged with com
jlicity in the crime, was released.
The most damaging testimony pre-
sented at the trial against the prison-
ers was that of Kd Barns, who swore
to c. rcuinstances and conversations,
which if true, the prosecution con-
tends will establish the fact of a con-
spiracy between the woman and the
two men held to get Mrs. Prickett's
husband "out of the way." "Shorty"
Jones, according to Barnes' testimony
committed the crime.
A sensational feature of the trial
was the audden change of front of
"Shorty" Jones in dismissing his at-
torneys, and declaring to the court
he had a confession to make. The
other prisoners were startled, the
court and lawyers surprised, and the
interest of the spectators in the sud-
den and unexpected turn in the case
became intense, Jones was |>erniit-

he told how he had assaulted Prick-
