AST YEAR it was the grandfather clause
railed in to help the democrats of Oklahoma
—and it elected them to office and thereby
gives them the opportunity to re-district the state.
According to the recent census the state is entitled
to three more congressmen, eight instead of five.
A re-districting bill was offered in the legislature
, last week and no doubt will be passed practically
as introduce..!. There may possibly be a few changes
made but not enough to effect the results desired.
The bill puts Choctaw county in the Stxth district;
it has heretofore been in the Fourth. We are now
in a district the lines running almost north and
south, as does every other district in the state.
This throws us in a district with Creek, Okfuskee,
Okmulgee, McIntosh, Pittsburg, Atoka, Pusmataha
and Bryan. .The population is 211,586, with i
I democratic majority in the last election of 2.801

Creek and Pittsburg are republican by small major-

chance for a congressman than we had under the
lines of the present district. It will at least give the

How to secure light with minimum
cost, fire risk and heat—is answered
with "USE ELECTRICITY."
The merchant who wants to illuminate his
establishment or show windows uses electricity;
the property owner who wishes to obtain the best
tenants and rentals has his property wired for
electricity—both classes are shrewd business men
YOU will do well to follow them in having
your property wired for electricity.
