"Everything looks favorable for
Chickasha" said J. S. Askew who
with Mart Louthan returned last
night from Guthrie where they have
been boosting Chickasha for the indus-
trial college.
Mr. Louthan is also pleased with
the outlook. Speaking of Dr. Riddle
he said ' me doctor is working day
and night for Chickasha. The story
that he double-crossed us Is non-
sense. He has been ceaseless in his
efforts from the start and if we don't
get the college it will not be through
any fault of Dr. Riddle."

CAIffllVAl TO
GO OH STAY?
Mayor Bridges Instructed the chief
of police to close tip the carnival
shows this morning. Later a meeting
of the council was called for 4 o'clock
this afternoon to take action on the
matter.
A contract was made by the alder-
men having the matter in charge for
the shows to remain until Thursday
night but the mayor holds that the
contract is not binding because it was
not signed by him.
Whether the shows will go or stay
depends upon the action of the council.

Guthrie April 29. Criticising the
enumeration of forbidden games of
chance as a loophole for the Inven-
tion of new games which would be no
technical iolatiou of the law Cover -nor
Haskell today vetoed the Roddie-
Smith anti-gambling bill.
Passed without the emergency
clause Governor Haskell says that
it would be impossible to enforce any
measure on the subject during " tha
four months intervening before it
would become effective and that. the
wildest era of gambling ever known
in any state would ensue. It would
only be necessary for anyone held for
violation of the old law to delay the
final decision by appeal or otherwise
until the new law took force to go
free.
Governor Haskeel declares for a
stringent anti-gambling law but says
the present one Is better than the
Roddie-Smith measure. "Make the op-
eration of a gambling house a felony
instead of a misdemeanor" he says
"and every condition will be met."
