NEGROES DIVIDED.
There was never a time in the political history of Tulsa
when the colored voters were more divided as they stand now
on the eve of election. Some are supporting democrats some
republicans some independents and a few have pledged them-
selves to vole the socialist ticket. All are honest and consci-
entious in their diflerent political faiths and are therefore to
be commended.

Th Evans Cafe is continuing in public favor in the East
end despite the fact that there are several other such places in
town all of which seem to be doing a thriving business. Mrs.
hvans is kept busy doing pastry work and Mr. Evans and Miss

One night this week Mr. Evans was detained from his bed
until 'I a. m. so busy was he feeding his customers. There
is a reason lie advertises.
