WILL HUMPHREY
HITCHED.
Now that Sant Humpiney lias tak-
en over the Globe, the taxpayers of
the county will expect to hear some-
! thing drop. They are anxious to learn
whether he has been “took” by the
| enemy or will, fight it out to the fin-
! ish. The letting of the contract for
the county printing looks like Sam
has tile board “screw-gee” with itself.
Last fall Humphrey printed and mail-
ed all over the county circulars at-
tacking H. H. Leepcr. He circulated
to let everybody know what they are. with the determination to eticceed.

ing, and the nnumerous additons to
the city which have been taken in
within the past three or four years.
Three years ago El Reno did not have
hardly one-third of the present popula-
tion. The 1900 census gave the city
a little over .1,1" it takes 110 figur-
ing now to determine our population
nearing the ten thousand mark. Two
years ago the Morrison aiMi*;on only
contained a dozen houses—now there
arc more titan one hundred substan-
tial residences, and building is con-
tinuing with steady strides. One year
ago the Keilh addition was a pasture,
while today houses arc being built all
over the land, and lots are being pur-
chased for more improvements being
made each day.
Even to those who have watched
and studied the growth of the city a
feeling of surprise is felt when tin- iin
provcinonts of the city are considere
collectively. During the past three
years there have been built more tha
twenty brick business buildings, rep
resenting almost one thousand front
foot of brick. On every hand in the
original part of the city substantial
residences have sprung up as if by
magic, and still the good work con-
tinues. El Reno is not standing still,
although her growth 'has not been as
rapid as some of her sister cities—lint
it has been substantial and represents
capital of home people, who have
confidence in the future of the city.

I he extension of the water mains
was awarded the • contract for tl •
county printing, and over a bin 20 per
cent less than tire Globe, it looks fun-
ny now to bear tlie announcement 'hat
Sant Humphrey has taken over the
paper. When the bids for county
printing were opened, on? bid was 29,
per cent less 'trail the one submitted j
by the Globe. When the time ar i<cd
to vote, Chairman Scliwarlierg left the
and help to get the cattle convention,
and everything else which will directly
or indirectly help the c'ty. Th?? Amer-
ican is for El Reno, first, last and all
the time, ami believes the best poss-
ible way to succeed is to lay all per-
sonalities aside and gel together and
work shoulder to should?r fov the best
interests of the city of El Reno—the
best city in Oklahoma.
Will the editor'of the Globe please
mention a single public meeting of any
character whateve’? held in El Reno
when the American manager was not
present—and 'how many times the
Globe has been represented at these
same meetings? Did the Globe editor
ever attend a council meeting, a ses-
sion of the school board, o’- a Cotn-
room, and Commissioner Leepcr and
Johnston were left alone. Deeper w: s
made chairman, and the question put
—and of course the Globe w'-i- sue

Chairman Sclnvarbcrg re cut‘red the
room and the board proceeded '.1 bus-

Very naturally the people are put-
ting two and two together. Did Hum-
phrey have anything to do with the
“work” of the board in alli.vit'g -•

laturc convened, Humphrey was cm

He returned home and set the demo-

phrey has made an effort to get every
newspaper in El Rent, to publish the

to let the public know what Deeper is

ADVERTISING A TOWN.
There was probably never a town
that grew lo amount to very much
without advertising. People don’t de-
cide lo go to a place to live, to estab-
lish a business or to trade unless they
j know something about that 'plae .
Sometimes a town is advertised \vu
out much expense to it
,-itli the many factional disruptions of
the iiarty, but has always been on th?
side of harmony aiul the best inter-
ests of the party regardless of indi-
vidual ambitions or factional policies.
The ripe political experience of
Governor Seay makes his selection at
tins time important. He is perfectly
conversant with national and local
issues; is identified with the best in-
terests of the territory, and is ever
alert to do everything in hi3 power
for the success of the party, and the
territory at large.
From several of the western coun-
ties conies hearty endorsements oi
Governor Seay, and no doubht l 1
dian county will be one of his ent':*'
iastic supporters in the territorial con
vention.
for the betterment and improvement
of our home city and county.
