TALALA ITEMS
(Too Late for Last Week)
Mrs. Ed Dikeman is on the Bick
lit this week.

has occurred since the primary to in-
dicate that the next, governor has
changed his mind on this subject. The
politicians therefore who are holding
fat berths under the present adminis-
tration through the appointment of
Governor Cruce are looking about for
other places, as most of them expect
to get the axe in about the same place
that the Thanksgiving turkey is sched-
uled to get his within the next two
weeks.
There has been much speculation
as to whether Bob Dick, who has
managed to hold his place as warden
of the state penitentiary under two
democratic state administrations, will
be able to hang on for a third term.
Dick worked actively in theWilliams
campaign and was one of the most
loyal supporters of the governor elect
regardless of the fact that Governor
Cruce in the primary took a stand
against Judge Williams. It is rumor-
ed, nevertheless, that Bob Dick is
scheduled to go under the general rule
that all of the Cruce appointees are to
be cleaned out. George Noble of Po-
teau has been mentioned as a possible
favorite for the place.
The following slate of possible ap-
pointees or candidates for the various
important positions under Judge Wil-
liams has been compiled by those in
touch with the political situation.
For state bank commissioner, W.
R. Samuels, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state campaign committee;
warden of the state reformatory at
Granite, Frank Carter, of Frederick;
state fish and game warden, John
Shepler, of Lawton, George Smith of
Chandler, and Eugene Kerr of Musko-
gee; members of the state board of
public affairs, three to appoint, Hugh
Johnson, Chandler, Bob Dunlop, state
treasurer; John Hickam, recent Bull
Moose candidate for govenor, and
Alva McDonald, former Progressive
state chairman; state commissioner of
health, Dr. Ross, of Oklahoma City;
superintendent of the Fort Supply in-
sane asylum, Dr. Newell, present in-
cumbent; superintendent of the Vinita
insane asyhunn, Dr. J. W. Duke, of
Guthrie; secretary of the school land
commission. Alger Melton, of Chicka-
sha, Judge \ Williams' campaign mana-
ger; John Cheneworth, of Altus; J. H.
Chambers, attorney of the state school
land department, and Roy Weems, em
ployee of the school land department,
and president of the Young Men's

THEY ARE NOT LEARY
That Friday, the thirteenth, holds
no fear for several of our mighty hun-
ters there can be no doubt, for in
spite of the fact that their first piece
of hard luck was a late train, Chas.
B. Cardin, manager of the Williams
Drug Co., L. S. Robson, city attor-
ney, Chess Goodwin, of the Goodwin
Barber Shop, John H. Bell, of the
Mission Pool Hall, and Bob Knepper
left Friday morning for the Kiamish
mountains for a ten days' hunting
trip. From what the boys
Over (lie long battle linen of Europe,
comparative quiet prevailed today ex
cept In Belgium, where the conflict
continues with deadly fury and still
undecided.
On the Servian bonier sharp fight-
ing is in progress and the Turks are
in action against the Russians, but on
the main position through France,
along the eust Prussian* border and in
Galicia, there apparently is a lull. On
the success or failure uf the German
attempt to force a way to the English
channel may depend the future of the
campaign, not only in Belgium, but
elsewhere.
The French statement, the only au-
thoratative word sketched out of a bat-
tle line which adhered to that previous'
ly reported. In contrast with yester-
day's frank admission of a German
advance, including the capture
Dixmude, the French statement uf to<
day was non-committal. Fighting
was with violence on the western end
of the line, it is said, but there are no
indications whether the Germans have
succeeded in pushing farther their ad'
vance.
Along the Servian border, the only
other point from which heavy fighting
is reported, the Austrian* are making
determined effort to crush Servia
and complete the campaign liefor the
opening of winter.
Austria's recent assertions that bur
troops had defoated the Servians and
Servian soil, found partial conllrina
were carrying the fighting well on
tion in official information from Nish,
where it is admitted that the Servians
abandoned a position on the northern
harder for "strategic reasons."
decisive victory, however, is claimed
by the Servians in one of the numerous
engagements no win progress along
both the western and northern boun-
daries. A force of A,000 Austrians
who crossed the Danube at a point
thirty miles from Belgrade, the Ser-
vian war office suys, "was put to rout,
1,000 being killed, 2,000 captured and
many drowned.
Fighting between the Turks and the
Russian army of Caucasia apparently
is still in progress without definite re-
sult. The Russian staff reports that
it is maintaining its position routing
the Turkish forces which attempted an
enveloping movement. A Turkish
torpedo boat, according to a dispatch
from Athens, has been captured off
the coast of Asia Minor.
SANTA IS COMING
Santa Claus is coming to the New
York 6 & 10 Cent Store again this
year and he has a present for each
and every person present at this pop-
ular store to greet him.
Santa has announced his arrival to
B. North, manager of the store,
Friday afternoon, between the
hours of three and five o'clock. Mr.
North says that he will have to have
a little time to prepare for Santa's
coming and that as a consequence he
will close the store on Friday up un-
til the time that Santa is due, at
which time he will open the doors wide
and Santa will be host, with a present
for old and young alike.
CROWELL SOLD HIS FARM
A. B. Crowell sold his farm south-
east of Claremore, Friday, to Thomas
Evans, a stock dealer of Emporia,
Kan., for $14,000.
Mr. Evans is a stock dealer of no
little reputation, being a dealer in reg-
istered Herford cattle near Emporia,
and we welcome him to our midst, nS
the more good etock men we get in
this country the higher grade of stock
will be forthcoming
WILL BE FEW LESS THAN FIVE
THOUSAND
The morning papers Friday did not
materially help to inform the people
of the state as to the exact outcome
of the governor's race but it would
seem that Williams' plurality over
Fields will reach something near five
thousand, lacking about eighty votes
of that mark.

kindness in supporting me in the re-
cent election, held November 3, 1914,
I appreciate the same more than I
can express by words, because of the
fact that it is a re-endorsement of my
past services as your representative
and servant in the greatest law-mak-
ing body in the world, the Congress
of the United States.
To be elected to an office is quite a"n"
honor, and one that any man should
be proud of, but to be re-elected three
successive times is the greatest hon-
or any man can hope to achieve under
this great government of ours.
In the past I have always tried to
•onduct my campaigns along the1
lines of democratic principles, hones-'
ty and integrity, and I have never in-
dulged irv;vituperations or falsehoods, |
and when the campaign closed, I have
had nothing to regret or withdraw, I
knowing full well that all I have sta- \
ted to be true.
To those who supported me I ex-
tend my hearty thanks, and to those
who opposed me I desire to say that I
hold no hard feeling whatever, because
it is the duty of every good citizen to
vote for the man he believes to be the
best fitted to represent him.
My experience in the past as a rep-
resentative in Congress has qualified
me to serve the people better than
heretofore, and I shall strive to the
best of my ability to serve them faith-
fully and honestly. I hold no malice
toward anyone, and have only a de-

Getting back to Whlttler'a phrase,
"the prison cells of pride," we may
hint that the shoes of the Quaker
poet's day were not made ln St.
Louis. They were often made by the
individual, who was hla own shoe-
maker, working with the leather he
had probably tanned hlmseir.
Perhaps here and-there an excellent
shoe resulted from that Individual
method of workmanehip; but It needs
but a alight exercise of the Imagina-
tion to convince ua that aa a rule a
shoe was terribly and wonderfully
made under the old processes. They
must have been iU-flttlng, often—and

hard to kill off rabbits
Growth of the Peat In Tasmania Haa
Created a Serious Problem
for Agriculturiets.
As ln other states ln Australia, the
problem of dealing with the rabbit
pest has been given considerable at-
tention by farmers and pastoralists in
Tasmania for some time.
The matter was taken up by the
Farmers' and Stockowners' association
at a recent meeting of the council of
that body. Among other things It was
stated that information had been col-
lected bearing upon the trade in rab-
bit skin in this state. The figures in-
dicated that not less than 5,000,000
skins were exported from Tasmania
each year, the value of which waa un-
der $250,000.
Aa poison was also generally used
for destroying, the pest. It was quite
safe to assume that as many more
were killed, making the death roll
equal to 10,000,000. Adding to that at
least 2,000,000 left at the end of each
winter to breed again, tlje conclusion
was arrived at that the lands of the
state were growing every jw 12,000,-
000 rabbits. 1
Taking theae figures as a basis and
-allowing 15 rabbits to consume as
much grass as one sheep, R wax com-
puted that the rabbit wna occupying
the place of 800,000 sheep, or, ln othei
wards, taking up about one-third or
the lands, for which the state received
under $250,000, as against the value
of 800,000 sheep, which would he not
less than $1,600,000 at a low estimate.

Displaying not a little neat open
foot ball, the foot ball team from the
Claremore public schoola, coached by
M. A. Watts, Friday afternoon, on
the Clkremono field In thla city, da-
foaled the team from the Nowata pub-
lic school, which had been re-inforced
for the conteat by some of the high
school players, by a acore of 13 to fl.
From tho very flrat down, It could
t* scon that the two teama ware pret-
ty evenly matched and that the con
test was going to be a good one.
Claremore won the toea and choae the
north goal, kicking to Nowata'a thirty
yard Una. Putting up excellent de-
fensive foot ball they soon took the
ball away from Nowata on downa and
began their march toward Nowata'a
goal line. A beautiful forward paaa
from Quarterback Lester, of the lo-
cals, to Right End Raymond Julian
netted the locals foity-Ave yards and
placed the ball on Nowata'a eighteen
yard line. The Nowata line held and
the backa fought like tigers to keep
the locala from carrying tho ball
acroas for a touchdown. The locala
hit the line three times but were
checked, then on a fake paaa Normal
Calloway, for the locala, want over
for the first score of the game. Hall
immediately kicked a perfect goal,
making the score Claremore 7, Nowa-
ta 0.
Claremore then kicked to Nowata
and the ball went up and down the
field, neither team seeming to be able
to get within striking distance of the
other's goal. Forward paaa after
forward pass were tried with varying
success but when Referee "Bfcik"
Capshaw's whistle blew announcing
the close of the first quarter, tha ball
was near the center of the field, In
Clareraore'a possession.
The second quarter opened up with
Nowata fighting hard to overcome the
locals' lead, but this they were unable
to do, although they ran their heavy
full back, Mayo, most of the time
through the line for gain after gain,
but when they got in striking distance
of the local's goal the local line held
or Nowata fumbled and loot the ball
to Claremore, and Claremore, by for-
ward passes and long end runs by
Lester, Hall and others carried the
ball back toward the Nowata goal.
The second quarter ended with Clare-
more atill maintaining her lead of sev-
en points.
Nowata came back strong in the
second half, seeming to be refreshed
by the ten minutes' rest. Despite the
fact that the locals executed a pretty
triple forward pass by tha Lester-
Julian route for forty-five yards,
Claremore lost the ball and the No-
wata team began a persistant march
toward the Claremore goal, with the
heavy full back, Mayo, smashing the
Claremore line for gain after gain
until he had placed the ball on Clare-
more's fifteen yard line, when the No-
wata quarter back. Martin, suddenly
changed the style of play and caught
the locals napping. Instead of send-
ing a line smash as he had been do-
ing. he called a forward pass from
Fullback Mayo t« himself. Martin re-
ceived the ball on a pretty paaa, stand-
ing behind the local's goal line for No-
wata's first and last score. The at-
tempt at goal failed, leaving the score
at this juncture of the game Clare-
more 7, Nowata 6.
Spurred by the necessity of getting
larger lead in order to insure the
winning of the game, the locals be-
gan to work harder than ever after
Nowata had secured her touchdown.
In a few minutes after the ball had
been put into play after the Nowata
touchdown, Quarterback Lester, of tha
Claremore team, made the prettiest
run of the day, passing the line of
scrimage and going seventy yards for
Claremore^ second touchdown. Hall's
attempt at goal failed and the game
ended without either team being able
to add to their total.
There were no individual stars in
the game Friday, each man playing
his share, bat it might be well to men-
tion the excellent work of Heck Bus-
sey, left end for the locals, who made
possible Claremore's second touch-
down, as he so completely put the op-
posing end out of the way whan Lfa-
ter came around with the ball on the
beginning of his long run, that Lester
had a clear field except for tho safety
whom he dodged and than outran.
Long gains are possible only in the
event that each and every maa
"cleans" hia man. The running and
defensive work of Harold Hall, who
was somewhat handicapped with aa
injured rib, waa a feature of tha game
as was also the triple pass from Les-
ter to Ray Julian. Julian
