Will Voters Approve Such Laws?
Have the farmers of Oklal oma
considered what the general re-
gistration, as provided in the
"ribbon ballot" election law, en-
acted by the recent legislature
means to them? Heretofore in
Oklahama a syste n of registra-
tion has been required only in
the cities, An extension of the
registration was never before
considered necessary, as in farm-
ing communities and in smaller
towns such a thing as election
frauds is practically unknown.
The only result, therefore, hoped
to be obtained by the democrats
in including general registration
was to cause the disfranchise-
ment if possible, of those farmers
of the state who are not in league
with the prdsent state administra-
tion,
The registration provisions
were so prepared by the demo-
crats as to leave room for all
sorts of crooked things. The
amendments calculating to make
registration fair were turned
down during the discusion of the I
measure in the legislature, and • mary, it would
every qualification necessary to
exercise his franchise.
The inspector of election is
given unprecedented liberty, the
intention being to still further
discourage registration of men of
the opposition parties. The in-
spector is made the registration
officer and is not required to
keep his book at any specified ^ - 5? P

place but can hunt up members
of his own party, overlooking all
others.
One of the more fair minded
democrats in the legislature tried
to have an amendment adopted
rcguiring the inspector to have
his registration book at a design-
ated place once a week during
the registration period, but the
provision failed, evidently be-
cause it would give republicans,
socialists and prohibitionists too i
fair and equal oppostunities with
democrats to register.
I The registration feature will
'also prove an^extremely expen-
sive one for tax payers of the
! state At the present time there
are 2301 election precincts in the
state. The new law, however,
provides for a new division of
the state into election precincts,
which will swell the total to over
3,000.
Even with 2301 precincts this
registration system for the first
year it is in force, for the regular
election alone would cost the
voters of the state $40,020 simply
in fees to registatien officers, and
for every election held theieafter
whether regular, special, or pri-
cost the voters

Th^Bank is a power house of tke
business world. Without it there is no
force, no turning of wheels and buzzins
of machinery without it business is lite-
less, To be sure ti ere is money in the
community just the same as there is
electricity, but very mUch like the dyna-
mo gathers, concentrates and applies
its force for an intended purpose. So
the Bank gathers idle money aggregates
and empowers it and applies the forca
to developing the trade and commerce of
the community. This is why the Bank
wants your account whether large or
small. The high standard this tJank
has set for itself in the conduct of busi-
ness is a positive protaetian to its Deposi-
tors in every emergency and under all
circumstances.

instead only such provisions in-
corpoiated as would give the
party in power complete control.
The registration, in common with
all other election machinery, is
entirely in the hands of the demo
cratie party. The state election
board is selected by the governor
the county boards by the state
board and the precinct boards by
the county boards, placing all of
them in the hands of the govern-
or.
Even after a farmer, enthusias-
tic in his desire to maintain his
right as a voter, has driven a
long distance to register, it is
entirely within the power of the
registration officer to refuse him
such permission, and even if per-
mitted to register he is given no
certificate of registration. The
registration book becomes the
only record, and if on election
day the book failed to show his
name he has no recourse. No
method is provided for sweuring
in a voter even though he has
$23,010.
Will the farmers of the state,no
matter what their politics, give
their approval to such a law?

. . . Cleaning
We are prepared to thoroughly
clean all clothing which cannot
be washed, such as Men's Suits
and Overcoats, Women's Coats,
Silks, Woolens Worsteds and all
other shringkable goods. We re-
move all grease, dirt or paint,
and restore the goods to its or-
iginal appearance as nearly as
possible.
We have the necessary epuip-
ment for doing all kinds of Dry
Cleaning, and we will guarantee
all work entrusted to us. We
wish you to note the difference
between the ordinary so called
•'Cleaning" which is simply
sponging or dipping and press-
ing, which only temporarily
changes the appearance, as the
grease spots and dirt are but
slightly removed from the sur-
face while dry cleaning tho-
roughly cleans through and
through, thus restoring the gar-
ment to its original brilliancy.
We also press without cleaning.
