OCTt MAJORITIES IN THAI*
FOURTH* OF COUNTIES
AMENDMENT IS DEFEATED
More Interest Manlfeated in Capital
Fight Than In Railroad Amend-
mont—Formor Loads by
About 25,000 Votoa
Oklahoma City — Oklahoma City
won tho state capital in Saturday’s
election over Guthrie and Shawnee
by receiving approximately 68,000
votes more than both the other can*
dldates, according to naarly complete
returns received from practically
every county in the state. The re-
ports received from approximately
1,600 of the 2,300 voting precincts of
the state, the figures in the main be-
ing obtained from the records of the
county election boards, show that
the proposition to permanently locate
the state capital carried by a vote of
70,004 to 39,642. Should the same
ratio obtain in the remaining pre-
cincts the proposition will have car-
ried by 107,100 to 60,500.
The precincts reporting show that
Guthrie received 19.032 and Shawnee
2.922.
There were cast 34,862 votes In the
precincts reporting for the railroad
amendment and 60,651 against. The
ratio probably will show a total ma-
jority against the proposition of 40,-
000.
Apparently more m'erest was mani-
fested In the capital than in the pro-
posed railroad amendment fight. The
former led by nearly 26,000 votes.
The proposed amendment received its
heaviest vote in the First and Third
congressional districts.
Reports from the following counties
show majorities for Oklahoma City:

A Program 0f Unusual Merit Now In
Progreso
Lovers of racing are enjoying ■
aeries of line races at Oklahoma City,
where the second annual meeting ol
the Oklahoma City Jockey Club, from
June 15th to July 4th, is in progress.
Two of the big features this year are
the Oklahoma City Derby, conducted
June 15tb, and the Independence
Handicap, scheduled to take place
July 4th. Both events ere stakes for
|1,0Q0 each. There were twenty-three
entries for the Derby and thirty-four
entries for the Handicap.
With ’tlse first highly successful
rsce meeting of last year, where more
than four hundred thoroughbreds par-
ticipated, Oklahoma City won a high
place in racing circles of the south-
west. The present meet in every par-
ticular excels the program of last
year and has an increased attend-
ance.
The Jockey Club spared neither
time nor expeuse in the selection of
competent racing ofBcials and as a
result secured men of recognized abil-
ity and high standing in the profes-
sion. They are: Milton Young, Lex-
ington. Ky., Judge; Arthur McKnlght,
Kansas City, Mo.. Starter, and Ed-
ward Jasper, Louisville, Ky., Clerk.
The program consists of six racss
each day, excepting 8undays, begin-
ning at 3 o'clock, p. m., at the State
Fair Grounds. The line transporta-
tion facilities of a double track elec-
tric car line, steam railway service
and asphalt boulevard will greatly
facilitate the handling of the crowds.
Recent Improvements to the grand
stand will also add much to bodily
comfort. All races will positively be
run regardless of the weather, while
the crowds can be assured of com-
fortable shelter under any circum-
stances.

One medicine will not cure every
kind of sickness, because different
medicines act on different portions of
the body.
The troubles of most women, who
are delicate, arise from simple lack of
strength. The most obvious way to
help them is to give them a remedy
which will bring them the particular
strength they lack.
Cardut’s success, la benefiting and
curing sick and ailing women, Is due
to the feet that It gives women
strength, where they most need It.
Being composed exclusively of vege-
table Ingredients, which act gently
and sympathetically upon special
organs, it Is a tonic which Is at ones
regulating, and rebuilding.
Fifty years of success prove that
this la fact. Try Cardul today.

Guthrie received majorities In
Craig, Garfield, Logan, Muskogee,
Noble, Okmulgee and Wagoner coun-
ties, while Sawnee's largest vote was
In Pottawatomie county.
The returns from Beaver, Cimmar-
ron, Delaware, Dewey, Harper and
Texas counties are incomplete.
Late returns from Shawnee gave
that city 4,140 votes for tt-sslf for the
capital, against 385 for Oklahoma
City, and 88 for Guthrie. The capital
bill was defeated by a vote of 4,136
to 799, and the railroad proposition
carried by 2,778 to 1,829. Shawnse's
total official vote will Approximate
8,500.
Tulsa county gave the bill a small
majority, thus indicating n remarkable
revolution In sentiment there within
the last few days. The city of Tulsa
tea days ago was set against the
bill. Twenty-one precincts out of St
In Logan county shows the following
returns: Capital location, 888; against
4,668; Oklahoma City. SOS; Shawnee,
18; Outhrle, 4.078. For amendment,
1,606; against, 2,862. Thin Includes
nine of the tea precincts la the city
of Outhrle.
It Is notable that while a heavy
vote was cast against the bill In the
First congressional district, that la
which Guthrie Is situated, several
counties gave Oklahoma City a big
majority. This I* true In Lincoln,
Pawnee. Kay, Grant and some other
counties. The stress of Outhrle and
■townee efforts was against the bill,
and In some of the counties of their
sections they won a partial victory.
Osage county gave Oklahoma City s
good vote, while Qarfleld county went
heavily against it.
The total vote approximated 160,
000. The Fourth and Fifth Congrss-*
slonal districts, true to the reputation
they made in promise, rolled up heavy
majorities for Oklahoma City. There
were some surprises in the Third dis-
trict. Mayes county turned a tide of
opposition that had set In before the
flrst of the series of capital debates
and gave the metropolis a surprising
ly large rote. Of the 8,481 votes cast
In Le Flore county, 8.110 were for the
Mil. Ten days ago Washlagtoa coun-
ty was afaiast the bill, but a remark-
able chaage of sentiment took place.
ft was geasrally admitted that an
apposing organisation In Muskogee
county bad set a large majority at
the electors ef the coumy against the
eapltal bill. Governor Haskell's Fri-
day night speech in that olty and the
efforts ef bis friends Rnturdey saved
hundreds of'votes to the bill.

The first four of these works are
all fiction of ths most charming kind,
the sort that will enable many peo-

“The Carleton Case” is a story emi-
nently human and readable. Ita air
of today, of every day, brings it close
to the reader's own experience. Its
men and women are unusually alive.
You can see them walking about, can
hear them talk. The primitive emo
tions of life are brought closely home
to you. Interest never lags.
A certain little Ashing village on
the coast of Normandy, sleeping In
obscurity. Is the "Village of Vaga-
bonds" wh’ch Mr. F. Berkeley Smith
has taken as the scene of his latest
book. Mr. Smith knows intimatsly
both the quaint village and its “vaga
bond” inhabitants, for the little "get
off-the-track train” has brought him
many times to hhs own farm near this
forgotten cluster of huts. Here he
grows American corn, bolds open
bouse to the villagers, and goes os
duck shooting expeditions, it is ap
parent to everyone that much of the
book Is reality. Suaette, the “rosy-
cheeked girl In sabots” who sang all
day; Mme. Alloa do Bravllle, with hot
rare and enviable charm; Taarade,
the big souled musician; Mere Mart
aane, the worst vagabond of them all;
the geaerous cure, who cuts his ««»
a tiny bit short to burry to his duck
blind: Pierre, the soldier-gardener;
the miser Osrroa and his grim story
—nil seem to be real people, not char-
acters la a story, but living people
who breathe the same air and apeak
the same language as the author.
We Instinctively Incline to dis-
credit. or at any rate to discount
much that Is wrtten nowadays on
political subjects, because we cannot
believe the writers impartial or un-
prejudiced. No such reservation can
be made, however. In regard to Judge

AT A CRITICAL PERIOD
Of Peculiar Interest to Woman.
Mrs. Mary I. Remington, Elgleberry
St., Gilroy, Cal., says; “I suffered so
severely from pain and soreness over
the kidneys that It was a task for mo
to turn over In bed.
My kidneys acted
very frequently, but
the secretions were
retarded and the pas-
sages scalded. I was
weak and run down.
After taking other
remedies without ben-
efit, I began using
Doan’s Kidney Pills
and was permanently cured. I was
going through the critical period of a
woman’s life at that time and after
using Doan's Kidney Pills there was a
miraculous change for the better in my
health.”
Remember the name—Doan's.

The Rude Visiter.
There is a story about the secretary
of a golf club who was a man of di-
minutive stature. It was summer time,
and the grass had been allowed to
grow rather long. The secretary waa
playing in front of a visitor who was
a very long driver, and kept dropping
his ball in the neighborhood of the
secretary all the way round. At laat
the little man could stand it no longer
and walked back and remonstrated
with the visitor on his conduct, but
the only reply he got was, "If you
would cut the grass, one might be
able to see you.”
