I don board observes its first anni-
versary this week, first meeting was
called Nov. 8, 1929.
It's revolutionary recommendation
against definite sentences was con-
tained in a statement, issued following
a year's study of convict types in
Oklahoma prisons.
Study of 454 inmates of the state
a CHRISTMAS tree connection.
A such as harnessed Wild Mary, the
screaming Sigmon and the Mad Mor-
gan. can be purchased for less than
51,000. . . .
Work on the Morgan was delayed
virtually 34 hours because no Christ-
Bias tree connection was available and
arrangements had to be made to start
the manufacture of one after the
gusher went toco.
If Oklahoma City had to send out
of the state for a fire engine whenever
the names broke out in the city, the
situation would be analogous
Wouldn't you think that the supply
companies would make up a few of
these heavy nipples in assorted sizes
for a 4. 8 or 12-Inch hole and have
them on hand?
If that is too much to expect. Ie’,
the city buy sufficient of these afit-
tings and store them to meet the next
emergency, «if the city had to apend
•10,000 to get the devices manufac-
tured it would be the cheapest in-
surance I know of.
If the next wild well breaks loose
in January. we don't want the whole
east side to freeze while a one-hole
company rushes about trying to get
the money and the crew together to
start to get ready to shut the well in.

than Hill had over Murray. In 29
precincts where definite figures were
obtained. Pine had 776 votes, against
574 for Gore, ’
County races generally were show-
ing the Democratic candidates ahead.
There were one or two exceptions,
however, especially in the races to*
county attorney and county treasurer.
In 39 precincts tabulated. Lewis R.
Morris, Democrat, had a slight lead
over George Callihan, Republican in-
cumbent. The figures were 383 for
Morris and 359 for Calllhan.
Reports from ward one indicated
an unusually heavy Republican vote
was being cast. This was especlally
true on the Hate ticket, with th*
county ticket showing a wider Demo-
cratic trend.
Scratching is General
Reports to Jasper Roberts, secretary
of the county election board, indi-
cated that "scratching" on the stat*
ticket is more general than ever be-
fore. At the same time more 'straight'*
county tickets were being cart. Rob-
erts said this indicated that heads ot
the state ticket were being scratched,
with the voter salving his consclence
by voting er straight" on the county
ticket.
Emerging from the apathy which
marked the campaign, Oklahoma City
voters gave promise of a new total
ballot record for non-presidentti
years Tuesday afternoon.
Although figures were lacking, eakly
indications in ward three were that it
would go strongly for Murray in the
race for governor, and that the other
Democratic candidates would have
little trouble upsetting their Repub-
lican opponents. Gore apparently was
leading Pine, and Morris was ahead
in the race for county attorney. In
some precincts the voting was as
high as two to one in favor of the

Balloting Is Heavy
County Democratic Candidates
Generally Bunning Ahead
Of Governor Total.
With a heavy vote being cast in
Oklahoma City Tuesday, early indica-
tions were that Willtam Murray,
Democrat, and Ira Hill, Republican,
were running close, with either one
holding a chance to take the city
wards. •
Figures on the early voting were
obtained from scattered precincts
where counters had started compiling
totals to be kept up to date through
the day. In other precincts, only the
trend of the voting could be learned.
Forty-two precincts in wards one,
two and four, where early compilations
were obtained, showed Hill had 1.199
votes with Murray getting 963. Th*
trend in other precincts, in which fig-
ures were not available, however, off-
set the numerical lead given Hill,
showing that Murray has an even
chance to carry the city and possibly
the county.
