Jackson county is a democratic
^county. and the full force of the
partv should be polled on Nov. 5.
Jackson county should roll up
the largest democratic majority
^>0 Nov. 5th, ever given in the
^county.
Democrats, you should deerr
it not only a great privilege, but
also a patriotic duty to vote for
the party nominees on Nov. 5th.
Every democrat in Jackson
county should go to the polls on
Nov. 5th and vote for all demo-
cratic nominees from governor
to constable.
Any democrat that absents
himself from the polls on
Jiov. 5th. will by his act, be giv-
ing aid and benefit to the oppo-
nents of President Wilson.
If there is an old or sickly
democrat in Jackson county,
who is too feeble to go to the
polls, let some democrat with au
aotomoblie see that such a one
gets to the polls on election day
A democratic president is man
aging the United State cause in
the great war. You can aid him
by electing democratic state and
dktrict officers. Not to do so
would be inexcusable party neg-

£ IS FIXED
The nomination of the demo-
cratic county candidates is equiv-
alent to their election; this be-
inf so. should be no excuse for
any democrat not going to the
polls on election day. It is your
duty to go and vote for your
state and district nominees, as
well as the county nominees.
Judge Robertson has given
much of his time and all his abil-
ity in assisting President Wilson
in his great work, and the dem-
ocrats of Jackson county should
go the polls Nov. 5th and vote
for Judge Robertson for gover-
nor: by doing so, they will be
strengthening the hands of Pre-
sident Wilson to further proee-
cute the war to a finish and give
4ke world universal democracy
The prices that will prevail this
season for cotton seed in Oklahoma
now have been fixed definitely by the
food administration. Following a con-
ference betweea the cotton seed divi-
sion of the food administration and a
committee from the Oklahoma cot-
ton crushers' association at Washing-
ton. a reduction in the price of seed
was agreed upon because of the fact
that the cotton seed wa shown to
give, a smaller yield of oil.
The price for seed in the western
Oklahoma rone is to be $64.50 a ton
and in the eastern zone 166.50 a ton.
These prices are for carload lots. £
o. b. shipping point. The price for
wagon lots will be $3 less in both
zenes.
"These prices are liberal to the
producer in view of the poor quality
of this year's seed." said C. B. Ames,
federal food administrator for Okla-
homa in making the announcement.
"I? all of the redaction in the yield of
oil was taken from the seed it would
