A TUTTLE MAN ANNOUNCES
Dexter Kramer a Candidate for Clerk
Of District Court

The first man from Tuttle to an
nounce for a county Office enters the
race today for clerk Of the district
court. Dexter NJ. Kramer, a hustling
young democrat, is the man and he
starts in to win. He was in town to-
day getting acquainted with the peo-
pie, and he states that it is his inten-
ton to thoroughly canvass the county.
Mr.. Kramer is engaged in the grain
and lumber business at Tuttle. He
has lived there four years, coming
from Oklahoma. For five years he
has been manager of grain elevators
in Oklahoma and Indian Territory
and he is a thorough business man.
Before going into business for him
self, he carefully prepared himself
for his life work by taking course in
one of the best commercial colleges
in the country. He is a skilled ac-
countant and is well qualified for the
office he seeks.
No man stands higher in the es-
timation Of the people of Tuttle than
Mr.. Kramer and he enjoys the conf
dence Of many friends throughout the
county. He viii make a strong race
and his friends confidently expect
him to capture the plum.

Another Candidate for Governor Will
be Heard from Public
Cordially Invited

Hon. Lee Cruce Of Ardmore, can
didate for governor, will speak at the
court house Thursday evening. A
telegram was received from Mr.. Cruce
yesterday stating that he would be
here to deliver an address to the peo-
pie of Chickasha and vicinity on that
evening.
The coming Of Mr.. Cruce will be
an event of more than usual politi-
cal interest. Since the Haskell Doyle
here a week ago, the gubernatorial
contest has assumed a lively phase
and champions Of the several candi-
dates have been unusually active. Be
fore the meeting Cruce was by long
odds the favorite, but Haskell un-
doubtedly made many friends by his
visit. But while many openly enlist
ed under the banner of the Muskogee
man, the general disposition has been
to hear from all the candidates. The
people therefore await with interest
the coming Of Mr.. Cruce to hear him
present his side Of the case. They
are not disposed to return verdict
until all the evidence is in.
Mr.. Cruce is we'll known through
out this section Of the state and has a
numerous personal following. He has
never spoken in Chickasha and he
win be given a good hearing.

The pavement on Chickasha avenue
cost an average of $500 per block,
that on Third street an average Of
s45Oo per block. Time is now Of the
essence of its value. Asphalt pave
ment is soluble in chloroforn, ether,
oil Of turpentine, carbon, disulfid, car
bon tetrachlorid, crude petroleum and
in lesser degree in the lighter distil-
lates of petroleum.
Water is injurious if standing in
pools or retained in mud. The latter
occurs from excessive sprinkling when
not sufficient to wash the mud to the
cutters.
The pavement is calculated to with
stand the wear and pressure Of nov
ing traffic. At ordinary temperatures

Army Of Cleaners did Valiant Service
and now the Town is Clean

Keen wintry blasts from the north
did not deter the brave legions from
making their grand onslaught on the
works Of the enemy today and from
pressing the battle in all quarters till
glorious victory was won.
Mayor Bridges, President Russell,
the preachers and other members Of
the committees, Tom Dwyer, and
scores Of assistants, hundreds Of cit
and all-all were there and all over
town the inspiring sight of public
spirited citizens working together for
a clean town was witnessed. Hen
ry johnson was seen driving in from
the farm with a big wagon early in
the morning. Through the alleys
swept the flying squadrons, load af-
ter load Of dirt and rubbish being
carted away.
Everybody worked, father and all,
the city is now in better shape prob
ably than it has ever been. Chicka-
sha never had such house-cleaning,
yard, street and alley cleaning before.
OF course, the work was not entirely
completed but a tremendous amount
was accomplished and it only remains
to prosecute the work in few neg
lected quarters
It was a grand, good days work
and everyone who assisted deserves
the thanks Of the city.
Here are some who sigend the mem
bership cards Of the Cleanup club"
Scores Of others assisted in the work
and it is impossible to obtain the
names Of all, but another list will be
published az soon as available.

THE announcement Of S. A. D. Al
colt of Cement for railroad and cor
i jration commissioner appears in the
Express today. He is well known
throughout this section of the country
and is at present one of the leading

paration for the office he socks, he has
had twenty-three years experience in
the transportation and operating de-
partments of the railroads Of the
country and he is thoroughly famil-
lar with all phases of railroad work.
Add to this five years of experience
in the mercantile business, and you
have fine example of man seeking
an office for which he is especially
fitted by practical business expert
ence.
The office Of corporation commits
sioner is one Of the most important
in the state, scarcely second to that
of governor. 1t will require strong
men Of practical ability to see that
the railroad and corporation laws are
properly enforced. Such man is
Mr. Alcott and he submits his name
to the democrats for their action on
May 23rd. He is thorough accord

every law for the control Of railroads

A Story with a Moral.

Don't advertise if you believe you
are wasting money. Let your com.
petitor waste the money on advertis-
ing, and perhaps in this way you'll
soon put him out of business. Just
stand back and laugh at him when
you see him squander his money for
printers ink. Once there was a boy
named-We think his last name was
w anamaker, or maybe it was money
maker-anyhow, his name was John
with some sort of maker at
tached to his last name. He owned
fifty yards ofcalico, three pairs of jeans,
and half dozen pairs of boots. He
called this dry goods store through
a Philadelphia newspaper and offered
to sell pair of socks for 80 cents.
The don t-believe-in- advertising mer-
chants merely laughed. Young John
spent S65 with Philadelphia paper to
advertise just one time and less than
500 worth of goods. He was eau
toned by the merchants who knew it
didn't pay. 1t was through sympathy
that they offered him advice. But
John did not listen to them and went
and blew his money foolishly; and to-
day poor John sees the results Of his
misdoings-he has SO many large dry
goods stores that he can hardly find
time to study his Sunday school les
son. Can you see lesson in this?
Be a progressive, up.to-date business
man. Advertise your wares if you
want to coll +bopo EvoL,.
