"The proposed amendment

VINITA DEMOCRATS WIN.
Only One Republican Was
Elected Tuesday,

Aside from an abundance OF
lemon extract talk, Tuesday g
election was very quiet, and as a
whole, decidedly one sided. The
leaders on The democratic ticket
had votes 10 burn, and then some.
The contest for recorder was
close, w. H. Drew winning over
Geo. Blakeney by eight votes, and
the fastest man on the republican
ticket, Ed Shanahsn, was but
twelve votes behind the sloHest
democrat, J. S. Davenport. The
race for marshal was so one sided
as to attract little interest, Lsdbet-
ter beating Bluejacket three to
one and a few to spare.
The polls closed about $50 and
the vote was counted by IL. Re-
port Of the count was given out at
every 100 votes, and on the 200
mark things looked rather squally
for the democratic council. Two
republicans. Ed Shanshan and
Robt. Allen, were among the lead
ing FIVE.
The total vote cast was 48O, "A
less than last year. The final vote
showed as follows:

the Vinita brass band Monday
grew to importance second only to
he opposing desires Of the con

Muskogee's election was being
fought on the Issue of municipal
ownership of city franchises. Inc
republicans want water works,
electric lights, sewerage system,
etc., as bad as do the democrats,
but are opposed TO bonding the
town for their construction. This
question, which most every town
must confront at some time early
in its existence, had been consid-
cred sufficient cause for the hottest

Turner received an earnest Sp-

for assistance in securing band
for their rally that night, and, as a

and went to work as though his
