hounds and expelled beyond the pale

strict, but secret advices tell of hor-

WHY WASN'T MEMBER CHANDLER
CONSULTED BY BOARD OF
AFFAIRS!
Bartlesville, Okla., July 8.—A scan-
dal is brewing in connection with

fairs. Bert Chandler, the republican

because the two democratic members
let a contract for jail cells at a cost
of $109,000, without consulting him or
advertising for bids. It seems that
every democratic office holder is do-

for decent democrats to vote for the
party this fall.
