President Koosovolt's "trust busting"
propensities In tho shapo of an ordes
issued by tho Postmaster General Mr.
Cortolyou at tho direction or the
president himself. Tho president's
ultimatum Is aimed directly at federal
office holdors under the classified ser
vice who are also metnbevH of stato or
county Republican committees and
oarry to them the information thai
they must give up one position or tho
other. A gentle hint has been thrown
out by the postmaster general. It Is
understood that it would nlso be well
for otrice holders who arc not under
the oloaslfled service to sever their
connections with political committees.
Soon nfter he wont Into tho White

of his disgust at the manner In which

It was n gr 'at night With the clos-
ing or the polls Indium broke Iooh'.j
nnd one of th? greatest demonst ra-
tions In the hlMtory of Ardmore occur-
red. The pent up fee'lng or the vo'cv
mauiroKtcd Itself In good fashion ll'ia-
drods of giant fire rraclcers were ex-
ldodod nnd adilod to theso wore va-
rious devlcos for making noU. Roman
Caudles and skyrockets wero sent tip
a a furthor evidence of pleasure.
The Demonstration equalled any-
thing ever seen her and In some res-
pects surpassed nil previous efforts.
The Joy or the democratic rank and
file could not be restrained on this
occasion and so long Into the night
the energies or a great number were
exorted in nn effort to tlomouhtrat
how keenly they roll the victory. Not
until they grow weary of shouting
their appproval did they subside. Dem-
ocratic victory wa felt In tho tilt nnd
the supporters of tho ticket naked tor
no further good reason to shout thnu
tho' rumor circulated that the demo-
crats hud mads n clean sweep Tho
ninj; and file took it for granted hal
such was tho cawo without watting for
an official conformation.
Recauo of the fact that there was
two tickets lit thu field tho return
came In slowly but thoj showe 1 good j
majdrltlea for thu democratic fundl-j
date. While the loturti wr being
received there was a i;reat display of
