COLONEL SIDNEY SUGGS
Is Praying for the Election Of Bill
Cross of Kansas City,

Oklahoma City. o. T., Oct. 1S.--A party
Of prominent citizens Of Ardmore, 7. T.,
was in the city yesterday, consisting OF
Col. Sidney Suggs, editor of the Ardmore-
lite; c. NJ. Campbell clerk of the districI
court; W. A. Ledpetter, attorney for the
Santa Fe. and r. NJ. Ainsworth. presi-
dent Of the Ardmore Coal & Power COM
rany.
When seen at the Grand Avenue hotel.
Col. Sugs stated that he was feeling pref
ty jubilant over the prevailing sentiment
be found in Oklahoma in favor OF single
statehood.
Il know that everybody in this coun-
try" said he, Republicans and Demo
Gratis are IN FAVOR OF single statehood
and our people are very hopeful that Mr..
Cross Will be elected delegate to con-
gress.
THE continued favorable weather will
help US out greatly in our cotton crop.
Every day like this brings us money. Thu
crop is short, but If we have a late and
favorable fall, we will raise our estimate
somewhat. The cotton acreage was in
creased fully twenty eight per cent owing
to the decreased acreage of wheat and
ceived something like eighteen thousand
bales OF cotton this season.
The population OF Ahdmore at the last
census, taken in order to prepare for the
issuance OF bonds for waterworks. was
about 900. Business with US has been
fairly good this season. The Arkansas
and Choctaw railroad has crossed the
river east OF Durant and promises to
have its track completed to Ardmore in
the month of December. The c. o. & c..
has promised us passenger service next
Monday. The new union depot, which is
one-story structure. costing about
s. 0cO, IS about completed.
In man ways Ardmore is pushing to
the front. The asphalt NINE smear US
are being worked and a refinery is being
Tut in and the product shipped to Long
Island City The coal mines ere also
prosperous. We have one good mine
within three miles of our clay. 1t is OPP
Grated by the Ardmore Coal & Power
company. 1t is also putting in a large
PRESSED brick plant. with the most mod
ern machinery

!. to Support Bill Cross.
He HAS ENOUGH OF IT
And Now Returns to be in at
the Veal Feast of Statehood.

Cordell. o. T. Oct 1s-'It was once my
intention to vote for Bill Cross in this
campaign in spite of the fact that I am
Republican. but after hearing one
speech by the Democratic nominee,
have changed my decision and viii cast
my vote this fall for Bird S. Mcclure"
said ]. c. Lipscomb of Oklahoma City,
travelling representative of the Benniwell-
Calvin Iron company of Kansas City, to-
day. When Mr.. Cross was at Asher I
travelled thirty miles to hear him speak.
He is a personal friend of mine and 1 ex-
pected better things OF him in this cam
paign. Judging from the statements
made in his speech Mr.. Cross must think
that the people of this territory are
fools and that any style of campaigning
will go. but I believe that I know the
people of this territory well enough to
state that they are not to be fooled by
such arguments as are made daily by the
Democratic nominee.
Il am Republican and have been for
many years. It was on personal grounds
that l would have voted for Mr.. Cross.
for l know him well We need a man
thoroughly competent in every respect to
represent the people of this great terri
tory in congress, and it IS for this reason
that I viii vote for Bird MCGUIRE. l had
never met Mr.. Mcclure until today.
had heard many things said of him By
Democrats, but talking with the man
convinces me that there is little compare
son between the two candidates and that
If comparison is made Democrats will
not profit by it. Bill Cross is good
fellow, but his ability to do things for
Oklahoma has never been demonstrated
in this campaign.
Il do not know Of a Republican travel
ing man in Oklahoma who will vote for
Cross. 1 do know of Democratic sales
men who have asserted that they will
vote for Mcclure. All OF this talk about
the travelling men being solid for Cross
IS nonsense, and one does not thear much
talk fro mthese men regarding Cross or
his candidacy. I find that in my travels
over this territory that many Democrats
are going to vote for Mcguire. They
want statehood Immediately for Okla
homa While they are Democrats, they
are afraid of the indian territory propo-
sition and they cannot be blamed for
that. have yet to hear of the Republi-
can who will vote for Cross and If these
things indicate anything. Mcclure will
have a sweeping victory this fall. 1t
does not take many votes from the OPP
position in every community to run up
into the thousands over the territory,
and consequently from what I know I
ampredicting McGuire's election.
Statehood means much to the people
of Oklahoma and since we are at the
very threshold, it seems very reasonable
to me that the. Flynn bill. which is now
pending in the United States senate.
should be indorsed. Electing MCGUIRE
means the Endorsement of the Flynn bill
and the passage of the Flynn bill in the
United States senate means Immediate
statehood for Oklahoma
