CITY EDITION
VOL 21 NO 155
The Referee'
by E A 1:
A DARK morning The first real
Z-1 thunder storm of the season
Pedestrian hurrying to get in out
of the min Motorists !Scrambling
to pub up the curtains on open
rare
Electric lights burning in office sures shops wherever people are at
work
An unusual morning for Oklahoma
City where we are accustomed lo
unshine even on most days of
winter and early spring
But it wouldn't be noticed In
Chicago Pittsburgh St Louis Cleve-
land New York In such places
eon coal smoke and weather com-
bine to make many mornings dark
and dismal
We who live in Oklahoma are
fortunate in our climate We need
an occasional morning like this to
make us realize it
c NA IS workman on the
I laelq Perrino building Nk as
killed Monday morning by a mate-
rial elevator
s
seas said to be a most careful
employe But for a moment he for-
got it seems to be careful He
looked into the elevator shaft and
a descending car eecapitated him
like a tilllotine
Barely does a big nmdern building
go up without taking at least one
life Frameworks atretching toward
the sky tons of material hoisted
into the air are dangerous
Davis died a martyr to progress
Those who are to occupy the Perrine
building who will sit In comfortable
offices there through years to come
should not forget him
T is much heated controvemy
over the slates in the city cam-
paign As If slates were something
new instead of being as old as poli-
tics One side howls because a compara-
tively small committee has designated
certain candidates for mayor and
council and is asking voters to cast
their ballots for these andidates
S S
' The other side growls because the
candidates not designated by the corn-
4 mittee have combined their forces and
are running ar au opposition group
We have had slates in other elec
tions---Democratic filtites and Republi-
4 can alates The coming election is to
be non-partisan That Is there will
be nothing on the ballot to show
e'hether eny candidate F3 RepUbliCall
Democrat
Nor to be sure will there be any-
thing on the ballot to show whether
any candidate has been endorsed by
" a committee But with all the dis
cussion and publicity it may be fo-
amed that west voters will know
which eandifhtes belong to one slate
and which to the other
There is nothing novel in the elate
idea and nothing as it seems to me
essentially wrong if only the voters
will do their own thinking
No party so far us my observation
runs was ever able to get all the best
men on its ticket It isn't likely that
eny committee will ever be able to
get all the best men on its slate
"Vote the ticket etreight I" has
proved to be a dangerous slogan in
pratisan elections "Vote the slate
straight!" might easily prove as
tlangerous in non-partisan elections
The Ideal plan wOuld be for each
Toter to consider the candidates in-
stead of the organizations or indi-
viduals supporting the candidates
to cast his ballot for the men he
believes best qualified to hold office'
regardless of group cadorsements
THIS election however will be dif-
ferent from -most It will be
the first under the city manager
plan a new system of government
'The old system became unsatis-
factory A group named the Com-
mittee of 100 undertook to lead a
tight for a change and was success-
ful in getting the new system
adopted by a !arra majority
Now this committee endorses a
slate and asserts that the city man-
ager plan can't have a fair trial
unless its slate is elected
10
That may or may not be true
The Important thing is that the
Committee of 100 says It is true
Perhaps It would be a good Idea
to take the committee literally at
Its word and give it a chance to
demonstrate whether the manager
plan can aucceed under conditions
rranged by Its eponsors
Then tf the ran works well
everybody will be sa t isf led It it
doesn't work well there will be no
grounds for alibis
If ever there can be rood rctvon
lor vot!na a F traEtht slate It is in
' this election
VIE 11:It U willing to let the Corn-
4 I mittee of 100 be the Coetor when
: It told us that we needed a remedy
In the fornA Of certain Charter amend-
nients for our municipal ills
flaying hhon that nitath
(lence in the commlitee it seems fair
I to take the rest of Its prescription

City Election
RIVAL MANAGERS
MAKE CLAIMS
Blinn Statements Based on
Precinct Polls
GET OUT VOTE IS AIM
Dean Headquarters Admit
Contest in Ward 3 and 4
Rival candidates opened the throttle
Monday In the final week's drive to
get Out a big vote April 5 'when Okla-
homa city will elect a mayor and
council under the managerial charter
A majority of 5000 for Blinn and
victory for his entire state was
claimed by Fox Wood Blinn manaLier
while Rev Bale V Davis for t he
committee of 100 asserted that the
Dean slate would win overwhelmingly
Precinct polls reported by Blinn
headquarters were the foundation for
Wood's prediction he said
"Dean will have to pile up a ma-
jority in Ward one such as our re-
ports indicate he can never get if he
overcomes our advantage In wards
two three and four" Wood bald
Precinct Polls
A poll of one precinct in Ward two
he said showed not a single vote for
Dean while scattered precincts in
that ward showed majorities of three
to one for Blinn
Work was being centered on weak
spots reported to exist In 14A and C
and in 2A and B of Ward two
Wood said that a poll of two pre-
cincts last week in Ward one showed
hi one instance 28 for Blinn to 39 for
Dean while In another Dean got 41
while Blinn got 23
"Blinn will not receive 50 Vol es In
any precinct In ward one" Bev Davis
contended "while in the central pre-
cincts Of the ward he will not receive
:to votes to a precinct"
Ward Three and Four
Dean headquarters admitted t hat
ards three and four would be a
contest while Blinn headquarters
conceded the negro sections of ward
two to the Dean group but claimed
wards two three and four by two to
mie and three to one majorities
We will have a full and complete
answer to all the big noise soon"
Davis said "All the weak places are
being worked on this wee"
D B Welty was announced as
speaker at the noon meeting In com-
mittee of 100 headquarters In place
of Albert L McRill who will speak
Tuetday noon
Saturday Nieetanar
Blinn headquarters held a general
meeing Saturday night at Broadway
and California holding about 600
throughout the speaking while the
crowd at its greatest was apparently
over a thousand
Fox Wood claimed that the Dean
group is not able to get crowds to
meetings Davis said that the Dean
group is not conducting that type of
a campaign but is depending on 400
volunteer workers
Wood pointed out in answer to the
claim that the Dean elate was made
up cd men who were not politicians
that not one of the Blinn Witte 111C1
ever held an office and only three of
them Blinn Corrigan and Leach had
ever before been candidates
Claim of the committee of 100 that
organized labor was going to give
the Dean slate a huge vote was met
by retorts from a committee of the
local trades council Members of the
trades committee declared that "never
In local political history have the
unlort been so unanimous for any
slate as they are fot that headed 1):
Fear Light ote
Both sides fear a light vote Blinn
forces claim that in a vote of 20000
Dean can not hope to bet ter by more
than 2000 the vote he received in the
primary

And again Monday Weepah Winnte
and I were delayed in the start of our
trip to the Nevada gold fields This
time it was the rain
Friday Weepah Whittle slipped on
tho pavement and strained a tendon
in her leg Now Colonel J P Slaugh-
ter Okishoina City's weather con-
trollitr struts his tuff
Winnie and I are not fifr:!1 of rain
and hardships but we were primed
for the hardships of the gold fields
and not the rough going of Oklaho-
ma roads In rain time
There's no use bucking har&hips
at the start that we will not find in
Nevada so the trips off until Tues-
day or the first day the sun shines
again
MINNIE was willing to start Jude
TT tug from her actions StrAtty
when I vent to look at her she had
kicked her crutch away and with It
the bandage
Burros mo stubborn and especially
the female of the species so I let Win-
Me have her way No use trying to
cross that burro when you don't have
to
Anyway It was Winine's leg that
was hurt not mine so If Whiffle
didn't want a crutch she's not going
to have one
Not If I have to put it under her
leg
"The chief value of burros Is their
sure-footeduess In rough country"
was one jibe that met my delays
That's just it Winnie slipped and
injured herself on one of Kid Moore's
pavements The pavement Was not
rough for hadn't Moore John Har-
den et al just finished patching It?
Anyway with the first ray of sun-
shine Whiffle and I'll be off for Nevada

That ought to get me in solid with

Or how about this one as a warn-
