Three Republicans Vote for Constitution
Haskell Says Census is Bluff


Guthrie, July l5-By vote Of "A
for, 5 against and 81 absent the con
stitutional convention atlopted the leg
islative apportionment as reconstruct
ed.
The motion on the question to adj
opt brought some unexpected debate,
especially on the part Of the republi-
can delegates, who have been quies-
cent the past few days.
Delegate Hopkins, republican minor
+ ity leader, started the ball. Said he:
81 vote against this apportionment be-
cause | believe this action untimely.
think we should wait until report
is made by the census enumerators. |
want to 60 on record as saying | am
for this constitution--that ! will work
and vote for it, but do not believe
we should be precipitate."
In reply to Mr. Hopkins, Mr.. Has
hell said that further delay was use
Hess. "The enumerators have been
here three weeks said he, "and no eff
fort has yet been made to do any bus
mess. We were told that the Presi-
dent had ordered the census must be
completed in two weeks. Moreover, we
have no information at hand showing
that any data win be made public.
Twelve men were sent from here to
, Washington and 1900 enumerators
were to be appointed to take the CEN
sus, but thus far not figure has been
made in the field; no appointments
have been made and we can only look
on the census taking as a bluff"
Mr.. Hopkins said he had some Of
! ficial information that the census
would be completed within month
but refused to divulge his authority.
Delegate R. L. Williams made al
earnest plea for the adoption Of th'
! apportionment. He said the appor
!, tionment was based on McNabb's own
! report and that it was folly 10 wal
for the census.
v Delegate Harris Rep said he wa

g - Jenkins, Hudson and Harris, apo:
Q ties, said they were against the cor
r stitution; Hopkins, Hudson and Safe
y voted against the apportionment, bu

4To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of chickasha, I.
T.:
~Where as, experience, observation
and scientific research have demon
trated beyond doubt that typhoid fe-

Tuition Of the soil from want Of sewer

human lives would be saved and ex-
pense and sorrow avoided by having
our present sewerage system extended,
but a thorough sewerage system is Of
the first Importance as an incentive
to people to locate in our city; and,
whereas, such extensions would add
greatly to the value Of all real es-
tate,
1--WE, the undersigned citizens ant
property owners Of the City Of Chick

Of voting bonds sufficient in amour

seen three seasons ago in several i'm
ported models, but 1t found no extensive
use until this spring, when the Idea was
taken up both here and abroad and the
two materials blended so satisfactorily
that the old objection on the grounds that
the costume or frock of two materials has
the effect of a remodeled garment has
been almost lost sight of in admiration
of these new effects
Sometimes the cloth forms more than
half the skirt, yet 1t is used In such a
way as to give the effect of trimming.
Then, again, 1t is seen only in tiny
pipings on bands of the silk trimming
both skirt and coaket. Cloth-covered but
tons In various sizes are likewise among
these newest features.
With the revival of modes and fancies
of other days come the polka dots, vary
ing in size from 10-cent piece to the
silver dollar. AS matter of fact, 1t is
these larger dots which are most fash
ionable. The polka-dot design Is seen at
its best In the new foulards, showing a
finely striped background, the darker
tone stripe complementing the dot. In
some of these foulards the dots graduate
in size from the smallest to the largest,
the larger dots forming bofder above a
three-inch stripe In the color of the dot.
These bordered silks come In the wider
widths and are, of Course, classed among
the higher-priced weaves. Charming ef-
fects are possible with these dotted fou-
lards, and especially the bordered pat
terms, the border being used as the trim
ming.
Dyed laces are noticeably strong in the
