CHANDLER WINS OVER

This District, Coun-
ty and Town Go
with Rest.
After nrigbt years of “oute*
darkness" the Republican Party
was swept into power again,
Tuesday, tv an avalanche of
votes unparalelled in the history
of the Nation. So decisive was
the victory that Democratic lead-
ers conceded the defeat of Cox
before ten o'clock Election night.
Harding carried every state out-
side the Solid South, and one-—-
Tennessee—of the Solid South,
a total of 37 states. In not one
of the 37 was the contcs:    close.
The greatest surprise of the
election was the turn over in Ok- |
lahoma which changed the 75C00j
Democratic majority of 1916 to
a 20,000 Republican majority.
Harreld was elected Senator
over Ferris by 20,000. Chan-
dler won over Howard in this
Corg.-e eional District heavily,
although Howa: d ran ahead of
his ticket in many places.
Swindall for the unexpired
term and Herrick for the regular
term defeated their Democratic
opponent by heavy majorities in
the Congressional fight in the
Eighth District.
Miss Alice Robertson, the
Republican candidate, was elect-
ed to Congress in the becond
District, and is the only woman
In Pawnee County every Re-
publican candidate was elected,
with the exception of Lynch,
who ran for County Commission-
er in this District. He was
heaten hy J. W. Livesay hy a
considerable majority. Although
much scratching was done on the
county ticket, the Demos had no
chance against the universal land-
slide.
Resolutions
Whereas, the Great and Supreme Rul-
er, has in his infinite wisdom, taken
from among us one of our worthy and
much esteemed Royal Neighbors, and
whereas the intimate relation held with
her in thi3 Lodge of ours make it highly
befitting that we record our apprecia-
tion of her: therefoie, be it—
Resolved, That the removal of such a
noble life from among us leaves a vacan-
cy that will be deeply felt by all the
members and friends of this lodge, and
will prove a serious loss to the commun-
ity as well as the public.
Resolved, That with deep sympathy
for the bereaved husband and children
of the deceased, we express our hope
that even so great a loss may be over-
ruled for good by him that knoweth
best.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be placed upon the records of the
Lodge, a copy printed in the home pap-
er, and a copy given to the bereaved
family.j

Card of Thanks
Owing to the impossibility of seeing
each one personally, we take this means
of thanking and expressing our appreci-
ation of the kindness and help tendered

the lovely flower offerings from the
Royal Neighbors, Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs.

Carter and Swank, won in their
race for Congress.
In the State legislature the
Republicans gained control of tbe
lower bouse, while tbe Demo-
crats will bold tbe senate by^ a
majority of 10. Particular in*
terest attaches to this fact, since
the nex' legislature will redistrict

new Congressional districts,

The pie supper last Friday night was
a success of the greatest kind. $139.60
was the amount taken in.
Mrs. Atkinson has left her position

School was turned out Tuesday for
election. I am mighty glad to see it, as
most of the teachers are Republicans.
Elven Bryant is having a time in
\ "jhila this week. It seems that Bry-
ant is mighty small to be getting so far
away from home.,
I wonder what makes some of the
teachers so cross this week. Could it be
a cold or the election?
For a person to show poor judgment
is to make a bet. I wonder who is loser
this week.

High School, wish everybody to take no-
tice thut we do have some pep and are
