FOR PRESIDENT
W. 4. BRYAN of Nebraska.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
ARTHUR SEWALL of Maine.
Welcome visitors. The grand
city of Ardmore on its ninth
anniversary is yours for the
day.
Ardmore the nine year old
wonder of the Indian Territory
welcomes you today and asks
you to keep your eye on her
progress for the next twelve
months.
The Ardmoreite is not as old
as Ardmore but it is as firmly
planted as one of Ardmore's
institutions as are the founda-
tions laid for the city's present
and future greatness.
The editor of the Ardmoreite
desires to publicly thank the
force and C. B. Douglas for the
able manner in which they con-
ducted the paper during his
absence at Sulphur Springs.
The Ardmoreite under their
literary guidance lost none of
its excellence but if anything
showed a decided improvement.
In this issue we publish a no-
tice for Clarence B. Douglas in
regard to citizenship claims.
Mr. Douglas is particularly well
qualified to present the claims
of applicants owing to his
knowledge of the country his
eztended acquaintance at
Washington City where he
represented the townsite inter-
est last winter and his personal
relation with the departments
before whom such casee will be
prosecuted. Parties desiring to
prove up rights in the territory
will do well to consult Mr
Douglas.
Many of the Ardmore i. :r-
chants are bashful about pi
senting their claims in the way
of advertising for today's cele-
bration but notwithstanding
this fact they are a live set of
gentlemen who will gladly wel-
come you. There are many in-
stitutions in Ardmore financial
--commercial and Industrial that
you do not see represented in
the columns of the Ardmoreite
but it is not because they are
not enterprising it is simply
because they are bashful. We
make this explanation in order
that you may not judge the
town by our patronage. Some-
times you know the newspapers
of a place are taken as the basis
on which estimates of impor-
tance are made. That wont do
n Ardmore. Onr people believe)
the Ardmoreite is a great pa-
per and the Ardmoreite be-
lieves Ardmore is a great tonn
even if one merchant or busi-
ness man in ten does not pat-
ronize its advertising columns.
GREAT IS AtfDMOKZ.
Nine years ago today the
foundation for the prosperous
city of Ardmore was laid. It
was not by the . erection of a
brick building or laying out a
stone block but by the pitching
of a tent on the lot where now
stands the frame structure
known as the Frensley building
near the railroad right of way
on Main street. The progress
from that day until this has
been a steady growth until now
we mn boast of 7000 inhab-
itants and a substantially built
city Mie metropolis of the In-
dian Territory and the pride of
orr people. The remarkable
growth of Ardmore has been a
source of wonder to the outside
world. It is today more talked
of than is any city between
Galveston and Kansas City. It
will continue to grow and pros-
per and we predict that by the
time we celebrate the tenth an-
niversary the population will
have increased to 15000 ieople.
In commercial importance
Ardmore is none the less to the
front. It is the largest local
cotton markst in the south and
this season will on a conserv-
ative estimate handle from wag-
ons at least f)0000 bales of the
fleecy staple. The rich mineral
resources surrounding are just
now being developed and ljefore
another year will have added
another most important feature
of prosperity. Ardmore has
passed through the season of
uncertainties and is now ready
to enter upon the renewed era
of prosperity that awaits her.
Great is the Ardmore of today
and still greater is the Ardmore
of the future.
DECORATIONS IN ORDER.
This being Ardmore's Fourth
of July and our city being full
of strangers who have come
among us to see it- celebrate it
does appear to the Ardmoreite
that flags and bunting would be
in order. Show to the outside
world that we are thankful to
be considered as residents of a
country where the American
colors are recognized as the
only emblems of liberty and
freedom. Get up this morning
and decorate your house even
if it costs you fifteen cents to
buy a calico Sag.
To the visitors: Excuse our
dust. We are actually too busy
with business ami too full of en-
thusiasm to sprinkle our twenty
miles of streets. When we have
statehood and abundant bless-
ings we will do better.
The Ardmoreite has just
completed the publication in
pamphlet form of a speech de-
livered by Hon. Henry M.
Furman at Woodford on July
4th on "The Money of the Con-
stitution." It will be circulated
today and we desire to say to
all into whose hands it may fall
that it is a document well worth
careful persual and earnest
study. Mr. Furman's ability
as a public speaker and his
thorough knowledge of the sul-
ject under discussion are a suf-
ficient guarantee of the merit of
his production. If you are a
gold bug you can read it to ad-
vantage if you are a silver ad-
vocate it will strengthen your
position and it' you are on the
fence it cannot fail to knock
you oft on the right side.
BBBBBaBSBBBBSBBBBBBBBBBBSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBjaS)
The Ardmoreite would love
to hear from the distinguished
gentlemen who will speak to-
day as to their opinions on the
subject of home rule for the
territories. The Indian country
may not be a territory of the
union in a strict sense of the
word but we lielieve it is eo-
pled by men in every way
capable of administering its af-
fairs. The present campaign
being one of principle this is
a most opjiortune time for out
spoken sentiment on all projwisi-
t ions effecting our future des-
tiny. Home rule either by elec-
tion or appointment is a prin-
ciple of paramount imiortance. j
