POLITICS WARMING UP
Politics in Texas county this week
have been almost thick enough to stir
with a stick We notice that they
are also moving about some in state
affairs, even that old Tishomingo war-
rior and never failing candidate Bill
Murrav. who has fofr years harassed
the Oklahoma City ringsters such as
Cruce, William*. Robertson, etc. by
his continual "bobbing up" aroun 1
the pie counter horizon and almost
grabbing the grapes, sent up a double
column cut of himself together with
all kinds of literature and a big sil-
ver dollar, this week, and of course
would appreciate a liberal use of it
all. Wre will be glad to do it, too,
some time next February when space
is more plentiful.
NEW CANDIDATES THIS WEEK
In Miss Ruby Hitch we have our
first lady to announce as a candi-
date for public office. She seeks the
office of countv clerk at the hands of
the voters in the Renublican 'primary
August 6th Miss Hitch has been a
resident of Guymon for twelve years,
attending the high school several
years ago. During the past five years
she has served in clerical positions
about the court house, most of the
time in the county clerk's office This
has especially fitted her for the po-
sition she seeks. She is bright, in-
dustrious, courteous and always ac-
commodating. During the time spent
at the court house she has met many
people of the county in a business
way and made many staunch friends
and supporters who have unceasingly
persuaded her to get in the race, but
she hopes to meet all the voters as
the campaign progresses. If honored
with the nomination and election she
promises that her supporters will
have nothing to regret from her con-
duct of the office.
j county clerk, is next to bat with his
1 candidacy for re-election. Few peo-
! pie there are in Texas county who do
! not know Jim Williamson, for he has
been here always, and since Texas
| county has been in existence he has
| been connected more or less with its
| official welfare—either as an officer
or in a clerical capacity. Two years
! ago he was honored with the clerk's
office over the best and, hardest man
to beat on the democratic ticket. Now
that he has served the one term, he
| points to his record for efficiency ami
| honesty and asks that he be returned
for a second term with the promise
that the work will be carried out in
the future on the same high plane.
Since the wheels of war began to |
grind Mr. Williamson has served on j
the local board as secretary, and this I
alone has piled a great deal of extra |
work upon his shoulders, dragging
the work-day into long and tedious j
hours of the night. His name will be j
found on the Republican primary bal- j
lot and he will apperciate your con-
sideration.
"Billy" Ijflfgren is the first to an-,
nounce his candidacy for the office j
of countv clerk on the Democratic
ticket, and he will thank you for your.
support in the August primary. Mr. |
i Lofgren is in the country this week
and sent in his announcement by
' courier, but with it failed to state
; exactly wh it the nricipal planks in
f his platform would contain or what
. the main issues in his campaign will
be. Billy is generally well known by
| the voters, having made the race in
the primary two years ago for the
! treasurer's seat, an office in which he
has had a great deal of experience.
I During the more recent months he
was employed in the Faris-Dafforn
' abstract offices, which has kept him in
close touch with the records of Texas
county and helped much to oualify
him for this particular position As
♦ o his efficiency we can say that if
given an opportunity to serve the
people in this capacity the work will
be well done.

J. C. Williamson, our present
: Next to come on the Democratic
ticket this week is J. M. Grable. liv-
ing southeast of town, who is asking
for the nomination for the office of
> county assessor in the August pri-
mary Mr. Grable has a splendid
reputation in the community where j
1 he is l.est known. His candidacy'
| could be made the basis for many I
complimentary remarks, but since he i
has the following words to say to the
I voters, we will refrain from taking up
I space at this time:
| To the People of Texas County:
| 1 wish to say to the voters that
I am asking you for the office of as-
I sessor again I am making this an-
nouncement because I will not be
I able to meet all the voters at their
places of business. I assure you it
would be a pleasure for me to talk
to each of vou. I believe that every i
I candidate should out line to some ex-1
i tent the policies that he expects to ;
I follow if he is elected to office. In the |
I first place I believe in equal taxation. |
, The way to obtain such results is for j
I the tax assessor to have a sound
i value of property. If you elect me
as your assessor I propose to give the
real estate of this countv my atten-
tion. I will try to equalize property
assessments according to its value.
I assure you that I will not be biased
in favor of or against any man re-
gardless of his social, financial or po-
litical standing, and if elected I will
at all times be cautious and obliging
to the patrons. I earnestly solicit
your vote and influence at the com-
ing Democratic primary.
Respectfully.
J M GRABLE.
In the February 21 issue of this
paper the following item was printed:
"Are you sure you are a Red Cross
member? All memberships expire on
December 31 " The Publicity Com-
mittee was not satisfied with this
statement and wrote into Division
Headquarters for information. Be-
low is given the. letter received from
Mr. Little:
Your letter of February 28th re-
ceived. The information in your

Memberships taken out before the
Christmas Drive 1917. expire one year

berships taken out during the year
i 1918 will expire Christmas 1918. This
I will be working towards the plan of
I National Headquarters to have one
campaign for memberships in a year,
all taken out at the same time, and

Appeal on Behalf of Relief in Bel-
gium.
These allies of ours behind the
German lines -the rich as well as the
! poor with their native stocks of raw
materials lorrr since exhausted, and
I no commercial imports since the first
I devastation of their country need
- and need promptly—this relief in
i their destitution. The quantity into
'clothing in these parts of Belgium
I and France has never been sufficient.
' Even the well-to-do are short of ne-
I cessities; the poor are in dire need.
I As the world is short of so many
things it is short of clothing, of raw
! materials. We cannot purchase what
is needed, we must put our spare
garments to the service of the world
a measure of pure economies, con-
servation and patriotism.
One-third of every shipment will
go to the people of the north of
Prnncp. down dose -beh nd the Ger-
man lines; two-thirds will go to Bel-
The Commission for Rel""f has the
ships—you have the clothing In
these vessels carrying cargoes of
crrain and other foodstuffs to the Bel-
gians and the French in the terr>-
torv occupied by the (lermans, there
is room for all the clothing you can
give. The Commission for Relief has
safe conduct passes for its ships, and
the absolute assurance through its
own representatives in Brussels that
the clothing will be delivered only to
those for whom it is intended. The
I Germans have never at any time
I seized the personal apparel of indi-
viduals.
OBITUARY
Zella 'Elizabeth. infant daughter
of Mrs r.ffery Callahan!, was born at
Claraville, Oklahoma. November 16,
1917, and died at her home March
9, 1918, at the age of three months
and twenty-one days. During her
short life here, she had endeared her-
self to the widowed mother and lov-
ing sisters, who will sadly miss the
baby. She had been sick several
weeks with bronchitis and indigestion,
during which time loving hearts and
hands administered every need, but
God called the little earthly bud
home to bloom in Heaven. She leaves
besides the sorrowing mother, six
sisters and three brothers to mourn
her loss. The funeral sen-ices were
held at the home Sunday afternoon,
March 10, at 2 p. m., where sym-
pathizing friends and neighbors gath-
ered to pay their last tribute to the
baby, which was laid to rest in Bar-
den cemetery.
Sleep on in thy beauty thou sweet
kangel child,
By sorrow unblighted, by sin unde-
filed.
Like the bird of the ark thou hast
flown to thy rest
From this world as dark to the land
of the blest.
Ladies' Coats and Suits of
Quality and Refinement
WHAT A PITY
It is our pleasant privilege to invite
you to call at this store and see a
new allotment of the tastiest suits
and coats we have ever been able
to offer to the women of this town
and community.
The suits afford an opportunity for the critical as
well as the economical woman that cannot be sur-
passed.
While the coats show development in the estab-
lished styles, and popular fabrics in all their new
colorings, ^they also introduce many unuroal
elegnacies.

The Place where Your
Money Goes Farthest
After Bizing up "Alfalfa Bill" Mur-
ray yesterday one could not help but
think what a pity it was that he was
not governor of Oklahoma instead of
just being a candidate for the nomi-
nation for the office now.
William H. Murray has vision and
the courage of his convictions. If
any democratic politician in the state
has a right to be heard on war issues
Murray—after the loss of his con-
gressional seat for his anti-Bryan and
preparedness opinions—has,
Governor Williams thought he was
a leader of the people and thinks he
is and was a patriotic governor. The
difference between Williams and
Murray is that Murray actually has
many of the qualifications to make
him be what Williams merely thot
he was being.
Murray's speech yesterday was a
tonic—he told bitter truth in a man-
ner unusual for a candidate. He is an
interesting chraacter—a typical new
state product and a man whom one
can enjoy disagreeing with.—Bartles-
ville Examiner. 2tl
