marked an Important epoch In the
progress of Texas. Like the despera-

them ho has been compelled to give

we find the nation farthest away, the
state a little nearer, tho city atlll

HOW TO VOTE
—o—
Every voter should understand that
It la easy to vote a mixed tlcket.wlth-
out mutilating his ballot. Stamp in
be circle under the emblem of the
party for which you desire to vote.
nd that will vote the entire^ ticket.
If you desire to vote for some candi-
date on another ticket, stamp in the
square in front of the names of *uch
other person or persons on the other
tickets and that will count for them
and cancel the name on your own
ticket for the same office. To illus-
trate: a republican stamps In the
circle under the eagle and then com-
ing down tbe line finds the office of
superior Julge without a candidate on
bis ticket. He crosses over and
stamps In the suare in front of Judge
Kngart'i name and that votes for
Judge Kngart aud the rest of tbe re-
publican ticket. A democrat does
tbe same thing. He stamps in the
circle under the rooster and going
down the line in front of any repub-
lican or socialist and that will vote
for such person or personB and will
have the effect to cancel the names
of candidates for the same office on
the democratic ticket. Do not stamp
In the circle under more than one de-
vice. Of course, the voter can stamp
In tho square In front of a'l tho can-
didates that, he desires to vote for
without stamping In the circle of any
party at all and that will vote for
only such persons whose nsmea he
stamps In front of.
On the board of county commis-
sioner* are needed men of business
ability as well as men of lutegrlty to
handle the Immenso business of the
county. You should vote for a man
for the office as you would select to
handle any big bualness undertaking
you might have on band. Such a man
Is C. J. Becker. He la recognlxed
here and elsewhere as a straightfor-
ward and capable business man—a
man who would look vigilantly after
the Interest of the taxpayers.
Why not olect a farmer to the
county treasurer's office this time?
A homo man, a'iiooatcr," a patron
of your city, one always Interested In
the welfare and upbuilding of thu
community, endorsed by the best bus-
iness and professional men in th«
city, regardless of party—Walter V.
Britton fair to labor, fair also to
capital—will bo fair with you. Vote

RECORDS SHOW MAM RE-

ED
Ardmore, Ok., Nov. 3.—Not only
has Lee Cruce, who la Governor Has-
kell's candidate for governor, bor-
rowed (40,000 to finance bis guber-
natorial campaign, but his three
brothers have mortgaged their pro-
pety for large nuns. These facts
are accurate and are backed up by
the public records of this—Carter-
county.
The records of this county show
that last March, on tbe 28th, Lee
Cruce gave a mortgage on his prop-
erty in this city to the Central Sav-
ings ti. Trust Company of Kansas
City, Mo., for $40,000. due January
1911, with Interest at ten per cent
from maturity. This instrument was
recorded on April 12, 1910, in "M-«'
of Mortgages, at page 31".
Since that time his brothers, W. I.
A. C. and W. L., have mortgaged
their property for large sums:
A. C. Cruce and wife, July 1,1910,
to Burwell & Dexter, mortgage for
$450, due July 1, 1915; 6 per cent In-
terest; recorded In "M-7, 260." Also
on August 29, 1910, to Mid-Continent
Life Insurance Company, mortgage
for $600, due August 29, 1910; inter-
est at 10 per cent "after maturity; re-
corded in "M-7, 2?7."
W. I. Cruce and wffe, dates, July
6, 1910, to Ardmore National Bank,
mortgage Tor $6938, due August 1,
1910; no satisfaction of record; re
corded in "M-fi, 423."
W.-L. Cruce and wife, dated Au-
gust 1, 1910, to the Alliance Trust
Company, mortgage for $2500, due
November 1, 1920, interest 7 per cent;
also August 1, 1910, and November 1,
1911, 8 per cent Interest; recorded in
"M-8, 28." The first mortgage of
W. L. Cruce and wife Is recorded in
"M-8, 28."
"The above mortgage," said a pro-
perty holder here today, "comprises
all the property that the gentlemen
named are • known to own In this
county, and Include their homes. They
do not tnake any secret of the fact
that the family Is bankrupted to help
Lee."
"TITEWAD"
You so-called "good fellows"—how narrow your concep-
tion of life to apply the name "tltcwad" to any young man
trying to save his money.
To upend money unnecessarily to waste—implies weak-
ness, fickleness and more: It Implies a negative character.
A waster Is an enomy to fellowmen and himself. Saving I*
one of the supreme teste of character.

Hularj Will Not Pa j Interest
The entire salary of the gover-
nor's office," continued this same
man, "will not pay the Interest upon
the indebtedness incurred to elect
Cruce governor. The fact that the
governor's office of Oklahoma since
statehood has been nothing but a
hospital for the treatment of sickly
ambition and financial tuberculosis
is a quoer commentary upon our state
and people. These mortgage figures
are accurate and are shown by the
public records.
"The office of governor for a term
of four years can pay legitimately
but $18,000. Why many times that
amount would be borrowed to fi-
nance a campaign for nomination and
election Is a problem the taxpayers,
who are already overburdened and
oppressed by high taxes, must them-
selves figure out."
