Lawton, July % (special) If
the registration for the Lawton
district had been confined to this
lplaee there would have been no
doubt that the Texans would have
had political control Of this coun-
TRY. They them selves have no
doubt about it. Bat they have
not seen the rush from Kansas
and Oklahoma into FL Reno. An
observation Of the north and south
bound trains into Ell Reno shows
the chances to be against them a.
bout two to one.
The vast aaiority Of the
men registering here are from
Texas. the Texans are two to one
in the transient population. The
speech is the speech of a southrn
city and the hospitality is the hes
pitality Of the South.

END OF IOWA PROPOSITION.
Fire Underwriters Believe Reduced
Rate Scheme Is Dead.

Ottumwa insurance men are much
interested in the following item print
ed in Chicago paper this morning:
Fire underwriters consider the prop
osition of reducing rates in Iowa On
preferred classes as good as dead. Gen.
eral Agent John P. Hubble of the
Greenwich, who has been agitating a
reduction of 20 per cent on churches.
schools, dwellings and brick mercan-
tile buildings last week asked that
churches and schools be withdrawn
from the list, as he had discoveed they
had not been productive of profit.
The present Iowa tariff on dwellings
is 40 cents for one, so cents for three
and Sl.2O for five years. Mr.. bubbles
idea was to bring the heavy reduction
on annual business by making the rate
30 cents. For three years it was 10
be rs cents While for five years there
was to be no change.
As there is practically no annual
business on dwelling property, the
wholereductionmay summed up IN
the scent cut on three year business
now that churches and schools have
been withdrawn from the list and the
mercantile schedule takes full care Of
