The friends of Mrs. Anna Burks l-ove ar- enthusiastic for her reflection
ua county superintendent of schools this fall, believing thai a iomp.ien_
industrious official who throws her whole soul Into her work is entitled
a second term In any office. And It can be said that one of the strongest res
sons for this lady's claims upon the office is th* fact that she is practically
receiving the support of all the teachers in the county
The enthusiasm shown for the election of Mr Bob Barman as county
clerk this fall iti not based on an idle whim, but rath-r upon the broad ;
principle that the county wants the office for which he Is a candidate In the
hands of an up-to-date man. vigorous and capable to perform its duties
promptly and well Hob;, qualifications are superb and his record Is clean
and praiseworthy As county clerk he will always be an Ideal official and
k faithful public Bervant.
Too often the selection of a Judge does not find combined lie- uood
lawyer and the affable and courteous presiding officer In the services dur-
ing the past two years of Judge John W. Hayson. the bar as well as .he
litigants have found his rourt everything they could wish It Also in the ,
handling of probate matters he has shown that wisdom and efficiency whlilt
tu every way suggests that he Is entitled to a re-election
With former experience in the office, supplement ’d by years of constant
aarvico In the abstract business in this county. Mr T H 'lr,r°nnP-1 ,B “
candidate in every way worthy of the votes of the people of Ih.s county for
register of deeds. A clean, active business man in every sense, thoroughly
prepared tor the duties, and a citixen worthy of any pub If trust. Mr. Met on-
nell stands pre eminently the peer of any man for this important office, and
many will support him on the theory that politics should cut no figure when
such a place Ih to be filled. 1
Sot only Ihc members of his own party hut others are enthusiastically
working for the election of Dr John Threadgill. that noble old Homan,
to the state senate fro.-n this district this Sail The doctor Is so w II known,
so hlghlv esteemed, so generally accepted us one of the really t rotiir men
of the state who does things and does them well, that com.....ndation nl Hm
ns n candidate seems unnecessary. Ills experience in territorial h glsl t
litres both In the house and the senate, and Ills record of clean, energetic
labors In the interest of the public welfare. Is sufficient assurance to the
voter that there should be no question as to his election by an overwhelming
majority. .
W'ithout regard to political lines a large number of thinking men of
Oklahoma City are declaring for the election of .Mr, S M. Armor Ills long
residence In (he city, coming here In IkSII. Ills open-handed conduct of his
business, and hla courteous treatment ot all, lias won for him a place In the
affections of the general public that makes slrcngllt for him aa a candidate
for county commissioner, an office he is In every sense competent to fill,
in the interest of the taxpayers, and those who know him best huve perfect
confidence that he will perform Ills duties faithfully and conscientious >
No better man could be selected this year for this Important oft!.- for the
growth of the city suggests that In county matters this district should be
represented on the hourd by such a man us Mr. Armoi.
The time has come in Oklahoma county when the voters no longer wish
to expertmetnt in selecting a county treasure r by tin* s. U nion of merely
a clerical man. On the contrary the county's Importance suggests the seler
Hon of a man whose* business career shows him to be a man of financial
experience. The nomination of Mr. Cassius K. Tool, of Edmond. »»' th.
Republicans, for county treasurer, is a step In this direction that is appre-
ciated by business men and taxpayers, that cannot fail to have much to
do with the vote this fall. Mr. Tool has been in the banking business and
demonstrated his fitness for an office of this character. A vole for him
means a thoroughly systematic handling of the peoples money. Mr ol
has'been a resident of the county 11 years.

On August 6th. 1912, I was nominat-
ed by the Democratic Party for Clerk
of the District Court My on hope
of being elected to fill that office on
November '5th. is the fact that I am
better qualified to hold that offiice than
my opponent. If it were a mere com-
parison of men I would not put my-
self up as a better man than my op-
ponent but I spent several hundred
dollars and three years time getting
a knowledge of law which fits me
for this particular job. Mr. Riley is

HAROLD LEE. CANDIDATE
CLERK OF SUPERIOR COURT.
HAS A CLEAN RECORD
Harold Lee, Republican candidate
for Clerk of the Superior Court, is
winning his way into the hearts and
minds of the people of this county.
Mr. Lee has made a number of
speeches during the last few weeks
j and he has never failed to win the
confidence of his hearers. Lee has
been a resident of Oklahoma for 23
years and we know him to be honest
and competent. He is a bright young
i lawyer and his legal training espe-
: daily qualifies him to keep the records
i of a court of law and to perform the
duties of the office to which he is
' seeking to be elected.
C P. Offutt. Mr. Lee's democratic
opponent, was cLud\ of the County
Court two years ago during the time
that Sam Hooker was judge of that
court. During the administration
there was a shortage in the office of
$7,648.68. It is noticed that in the
democratic hand book Offutt does not
refer to his record at all. Offutt got
the nomination by accident but th*
people are going to see to it that he
does not get elected by accident.
Harold Lee will be the next Clerk of
the Superior Court.

Dr. Threadgill appeals to men of
affairs because of his record as a
citizen and as a public official.
He 'stands for things worth while.
He was a member of th elast ter-
ritorial senate, also a member of the
lower house before his election to the
senate, and his record is clean and
brilliant as a legislator.
He introduced the first bill and se-
making bribery a felony,
cured its passage by the legislature
He was author of the first law re-
quiring insurance companies to have
a paid up capital of $500,000 in the
state before they should be allowed to
write hisurauce in its territory, $250,-
000 of which was required to be de-
posited with the territorial treasurer
in cash or approved secuity, that hold-
ers of policies would be indemnified
for losses.
He has not only been a successful
business man in city building, but is
also the owner of over five thousand
acres of farm land, half of which is
under high state of cultivation. Thus
he is identified with the tillers of the
soil and in sympathy with their de-
mands for honest taxation and the
prudent expenditure of public money.
His acquaintance in the state is as
extensive as any man’s, and as a mem-
ber of the senate during the next four
years will be of invaluable service to
the state and its people, because of his
popularity, ability and honesty in ev-
ery purpose of public life.

The election of Al. .1 Jennings as county attorney is conceded by all well

as the people are concerned they want Mr. Jennings, because they feel I
assured that he will protect their interests when he enters upon hia duties,
and they are going to vote for him without regard to their political principle*
or anything that his enemies might say about him. One thing.'•an be truth- I
fully said of Mr. Jennings: He has always been loyal to his client and none
have ever complained of him mismanaging a case or trying to take the bes
of a settlement at the close of his services. For fifteen years Ins life ami

conduct has been approved by all who know him He Is a good lawyer, a
