FIRST GUN
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR RE
PRESENTATlVE STARTS WITH
NON PARTISAN DOPE

M l. McCobb, republican candidate
for representative, spoke on the bank
corner Saturday evening.
In his opening remarks the speaker
professed a high degree of tolerance
for all shades Of political belief. AL
though nominated as a republican he
said he was one more in name than
any other way Much Of the work Of
the last legislature, especially the
bank guaranty law was good but the
primary election law needs some doc
toring. II should provide that nomina-
tions be made only by majority vote.
The speaker said he was a carpen-
ter BY trade, at present working in a
grocery store, and he would be for the
laboring man every time but would al
so staud BY the tusiless interests.
Taking up the .esiyiative issues, 81.
McCobb said be Lad read the plat
forms by Henry Ireton and Battle Axe.

would vote about like Ireton, said he,
but he couldn't say as much about Bat
tie Axe. He declared the latter was
for the re-submissicn Of prohibition
while the speaker stood for enforce
ment Of the law. This was the great
issue and the speaker also argued that
because he was for prohibition, and
Glover against it it, he could be more
useful in getting a state school for
Chickasha.
In conclusion the speaker alluded
to national issues and he said he was
great admirer Of Mr. Bryan also Of
Mr.. Taft. He was likewise much In
love with Senator Gore and had a very
profound regard for Dennis Flynn, the
republican candidate for senator.

pie Of Grady county are democrats. -
said he. "and they want Senator Gore

where my vote is necessary to elect
him, will be for him."

Efforts 10 Bring About a Settle

Rumors of peace were circulating
to-day about the case of William H
Bristol against the Bristol Manufac-
turing company which lately took
the name Of the Industrial Instrument
company, to overcome an Injunction
which the plaintiff has served upon
it to prevent it taking the name the
Bristol Instrument company. 1t was
said that overtures of peace came
from both sides of the contention and
that chance of settlement was very
good. Another rumor was that it
was agreed to sell the business and
factory and for that purpose an APP
praiser was to be appointed and
James H. Webb, prominent lawyer
of New Haven was the choice. Col
onel L. F. Burpee, counsel for the
plaintiff was in the superior court in
New Haven to-day on the matter. II
Mr. Webb is appointed he will i'm
mediately proceed to have competent
parties inventory the stock, tools
patents and the entire plant Then
1T will be offered for sale, according
to rumor, and either party may buy
or sell.
