FECHHEIMER
IN THE RACE
Fos The Congressional Nomination
Good Prospect to Get II

Charles NJ. Fechheimer to-day an
nouneed his candidacy for the republi-
can nomination for congress in the
fifth district and it is probable that
he will be endorsed for that honor BY
the county convention which meets
tomorrow The congressional conven-
ton will convene in this city on next
Monday.
The only other candidate who has
been prominently mentioned in this
connection is Major H. b. Mcknight
Of the Lawton land office, and it is
certain that his name will be placed
before the convention.
The nomination for congress in this
district presents few allurements to
a republican candidate as it can be
nothing more than an empty honor
Thanks to the gerrymander made byI
congress in creating the districts, this
district is composed exclusively of
counties that are Overwhelmingly dem
oeratic, it being conceded that the
democratic majority in the district is
from $1,000 to $4,000.
Mr. Feehheimer is one Of the pio- +
neer lawyers in Chiekasha and has
been prominent for many years in
territorial politics in his party He
made his influence felt in the recent
state convention and he viii stand
q good show to land the nomination.
Of course there is no show for the
republicans to elect Mr.. Fechheimer
Or any other man they may nominate,
but it will be an honor to chickasha
to furnish the candidate for this high \
effice and Mr.. Fechheimer's friends
among the democrats as well as am 1
'ng the republicans hope to see him
win.

learned here yesterday that party
Of capitalists from Memphis, Tenn.
and st. Louis are contemplating con-
structing a railroad line from a point
northwest Of Ardmore, above Chick
asha, to Sherman, Tex via Ardmore.
The line will open practically a new
country in this section and will tra-
verse some Of the richest mineral ana
agricultural land in the new state.
The line, in all probability, if built,
will traverse the section of country
in which is located some Of the rich
est deposits Of asphalt and oil, but
which As yet are undeyeloped
It is expected that within few
days the head Of the syndicate which
intends visiting the line will visit
this section 81 the country and drive
over the proposed route.
