, (Pol. Adv.)
Chairman Arthur H. Geissler, of
the Republican state committee, is-
sued a statement today urging all
Republicans to vote for their party
ticket in August primary.
Relative to this matter Chairman
Geissler said:
"Reports have reached the republi-
lican state committee that friends of
certain Democratic candidates in va-
rious parts of the state keep solicit-
ing Republicans to register as Dem-
ocrats, and to vote the Democratic
ticket in the primary, for the pur-
pose of helping nominate their fa-
vorites. This is being done especial-
ly supporters of the Democratic can-
didates for county offices. In order
to encourage Republicans voting in
the primary as Democrats will inci-
dently be able to help nominate
weak Democratic candidates for
state offices.
"When we Republicans called our
state convention we invited all citi-
zens who desired better government
regardless of their party affili-
ations, to co-operate with us in nam-
ing a good ticket. No such invita-
tions has been issued by the Demo-
cratic party. Hence, only Democrats
should be expected to vote Demo-
cratic tickets in the primary. The
in selecting from the material off-
ered, such a ticket as the people of
this state will be willing to elect.
"On the other hand everyone con-
cedes that the Republican have nom-
inated n ticket which is clean, strong
and competent, and which will be
elected. It is a matter of the ut-
most indifference to the Republican
state committee whom the Demo-
crats nominate. However, we earn-
estly desire that every Republican
turn out on August 4, and cast his
ballot for John Fields and the en-
tire Republican ticket, and we shall
welcome all citizens regardless of
past party affiliations who are dis- ]
posed to do likewise."—(Adv.)
Shooting at Messer
Yesterday afternoon 1 mile and a
half north of the Mesher postoffice,
Mrs. Lee, wife of a merchant, shot
and painfully wounded a man named
Shelton, whose home is near Soper.
It appears that Mr. Lee and Shel-
ton had some words and Lee accus-
ed Shelton of stealing a rope. This
led to a fight between the two men,
and Mrs. Lee worked for some time
trying to separate them, but had no
success, so she finally took a .38 cal-
ibre revolver and shot Shelton in the
right arm, the ball going through
and entering the body, but without
touching any vital spot. A physi.
cian was called from Hugo and the
wound was dressed.
The wound is not necessarily seri-
ous, it being merely a flesh wound,
but is very painful.
Mrs. Lee went to the justice of the
peace at Messer and gave herself up
to the law.
I appears that Shelton was visit-
ing his relative, J. P. Davis, who
lives a mile south of the place where
the shooting occurred.

State Remittance
County Treasurer Ed Linthicum
yesterday remitted to the state treas-
ury $9,562.55 in state taxes collected
in Choctaw county during the quar-
ter ending in June.
Ed Linthicum always makes his
remittances at the close of the quar-
ter for all state taxes collected, and
is usually among the first treasurers
in the state to make the quarterly
report.
He has worked up for himself a
reputation among the county treas-
urers of the state for his promptness
in taking care of the county and state
interests.
State Examiner Parkinson says
that Ed Linthicum is one of the very
best treasurers in the entire state,
and we are glad that we have a man
in charge of the county money who
has such a reputation abroad.
