JPF1CE ON EAST GRAND AVENUE
PHONE 28,
Republican Nominations.
For Congress—First District
BIRD 8. McOUIRE.
There is only one woman
among all the clerks and employes
of the constitutional convention.
S o il the constitution proves to be
unsitifactory the women can not
be blamed for it.
pearly ~Tbe first constitutional
provision offered alter the organ-
ization ol the convention was one
by Ledbetter, ol Ardmore, provid
iog lor separate coaches lor whites
at<d negroes This is in line with
Ledbetter's contention that the
constitution ol the United States
is not the supreme law ol the land.
M r. Murray, the gentleman
from Teats, who is holdiog the
high position ol chairman ol the
constitutional convention now
session in Guthrie, is being made
the subject ol many eulogistic
"press notices," probsbly without
bis knowledge or consent. In
these notices he is held up to the
admiration of the rising geoeraiion
as a man who has attained high
positioo and honors by his own
efforts, alone and utitided All ol
which sounds very nice and may
be true in a measure, but it would
teem that common fairness would
itquue mention ol the lact that
before he got veiy lar along on
the road to lame he was lucky
enough to roairy into a Choctaw
tribe possessing great wealth ot
lands and money, thus enabling
him to continue the lace m an
automobH" instead ot on loot.
Considerable comment is being
made on the fact that the late
S m Jones predicted that a man
would die cr be killed in Okla-
homa City betore November 30
under conditions ti at would startle
the town, and that a day or two
before the date set W. P. Dil-
worth, a poinment business man
of the city, was murdered in h;s
atore by un unknown man, who is
•till at large and successfully evad-
ing capture. In view of the fact
that Sam Jones uttered predictions
a< (I prophecies and threatening
by the thousand, it would hardly
seem a matter to wonder at if one
> 1 them should be fulfilled, or
nearly so as in this case, and in-
«<aad of atsnding by with upraised
h'1 ds and awe.inspired eyes as in
iiir presence ol a miracle, the peo-
ple ol Oklahoma City ahould lose
n<> ime in hunting down and pun-
ist ing the cowardly murderer.
A number of the constitution I
shall be milked night and morn-
ing should go in the constitutioo.
It is a safe proposition that
jhese valuable fellows will l ave
little 10 do with making the con-
stitu ion, but they will be entirely
satisfied if allowed th-s privilege of
hearing their own voices in the
convention ball

ed one tract of W0 acre*, so that
each bidder exercises hts prerogative
to the limit, I have fif ul-ed that we
might have over ti ty million bids to
consider. This Is harnly probable,
however, and 1 am sstUffed that tbe
total will aot exceed two boundred
thousand
In cases where two men offer the
•ame amount for tbe .ome tract, I
have adopted a rule that will be ad-
hered to in designating tne success-
ful bidder. As we open tbe bids, each
will be numbered consecutively and
the first one opened, where the
amount offered is the same from two
yersoas for the same tract, will oe
considered the succesalui bidder.
Prior to opening all the envelopes
will be thoroughly sbt-W d o that
everyone will have aa «qual chance
All this will be done publicly, and tbe
.iame ot the bidder rod the amount
oid announced as each envelope is
pened. No awards will be tn.de,
lowever, but all will be taken to
A'dShington, from where will oe
.nnounced who the auccessful ones
ire.
"There may be -ome miaapprehen-
,lon in leference to the submitting
of proposals of purchase, but the de
partui ot hss done Its best to rise
out every Information on tbe .uhject.
For Instance, it Is nquired that each
proposed purcha- ;r send in a certi-
fied check tor ■> per c.nt of the
amount ot bis bid, and while be may
bid on as many tracts aa be please ,
It Is requlred|on!y that he send in a
certified check for this percentage
tor one tract, that of bis highest bid.
If be is succes«ful, ibis check is ar-
p.led on the purchase price. Another
thing, oo bid under *• an a«.re will be
received. That Is tbe upset price set
bT the government."
