GREAT DEPOSIT
OF CEMENT CLAYS
An Abundance of Finest Material
For Making Cement in
Oklahoma.

There Is limestone In all parts Of Okla
homa except in the Red beds region, in
the central and western part Of the state,
and near the limestone there is plenty of
clay for the manufacture Of Portland
cement. Portland cement is made of
limestone and clay. The process Of manu-
facture is simple Both the clay and
limestone ere ground fine. mixed in the
proper proportions burned 70 d cliuker
and reground Almost any limestone and
clay will make cement, provided certain
injurious ingredients are not present The
secret is In the mixing we'll and burning.
Some day Oklahoma will make her own
cement. and stop paying tribute to other
states.
The location Of cement rock is now
being investigated by several parties sen,
out by the .0klahoma geological survey
and reports on the subject will be issued
soon.

CITIES WILL HOLD
SPRING ELECTIONS
Curtis Opinion Says City Elections
Are Not Included in General
Election Law.

Guthrie. Okla, Sept. 14.-The opinion
handed down by the supreme court in the
Guthrie convention hall case decides
definitely that all Of the cities of the state
will continue to hold city elections in the
spring as heretofore, and not in connec-
ton with the general election, even If the
new general election law does include
'muncipal officers among those to be
elected il November The holding of the
court is that the old law governing city
elections was not repealed or changed by
the new law. except as to the matter of
registration In the opinion the court
says
I'VE do not think that the provisions OF
article /. chapter ~. governing annual and
special elections in cities Of the first class
were repealed by the act Of May 29, 1908,
The repeating clause in that act is that
all laws governing general elections in
the state are repealed. The provisions
of article |, section IL, do not apply to
general elections in the state, and apply
only to annual and special elections held
in cities Of the first class, and We have
been unable to find anything in said act
of the Legislature that in our opinion
effects a repeal by implication Of said
chapter
The question was raised just before the
primary, when large number Of lawyers
insisted that nominations must also be
made for city offices, and petitions for
such offices were fled with county cleo
ton boards in number Of cities. The
attorney general refused to give a formal
opinion on the question but the state
election board decided TO 60 ahead and
ignore the city election question, Its
position is now approved by the supreme
court decision.

BRYAN AND TAFT
TO EAT TOGETHER
TWO CANDIDATES TO MEET IN
CHICAGO ocT0BER7 7.
TAFT TO HAVE SEAT OF HONOR
First Time in Modern History When
Two Rival Candidates For
President Will Meet at
Same Board.

Chicago. Sept i2.-For the first time in
the history of modern politics, two rival
candidates for the presidency of the United
States will meet at the same board and
address the same audience. when Taft and
Bryan are guests Of honor at the annual
banquet of the Chicago Association of
Commerce at the Auditorium on the even
ing of October Z. This announcement
was made yesterday at the headquarters
of the Chicago Association Of Commerce.
There will be no question as 90 which
candidate shall occupy the right hand
seat. II will be occupied by Taft at the
expressed wishes and full approval Of the
democratic nominee. Chairman Mack de-
clared yesterday that Taft, as a recent
member of the presidents administration,
clearly was entitled to the place Of honor
at the feast
The meeting of the two candidates
differs from the meeting Of national can
didates in the state of Illinois forty-eight
years ago when Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas began their famous
debates, by reason of the inhibition placed
on political discourse,

BRYAN TRAvESES
TAFTSOWN STATE
NEVER A CHEER WAS HEARD
FOR THE 0HIOAN
MADE FIVE SPEECHES IN OHIO.
Democrats Surprised When no Cheer
Was Given For Taft Refused
to Discuss Judge Gray's De-
cision on Hepburn Bill.

Wheeling, W. Va, Sep; H. William J
Bryan traversed the full width of the
home state of his republican opponent yes
terday and made five speeches in advocacy
Of his own election to the presidency and
against the election of Mr. Taft, and not
once was he interrupted by a cheer for
Taft. Mr. Bryan remarked upon the lat
ter circumstance as unexpected, If not OF
vast political significance.
The democratic candidate awOke in his
private car, the 0livette, Just out of Co
lumbus. the capital of Ohio. at o'clock
yesterday morning, and expressed the
wish that he might have quiet trip to
his destination, Wheeling.
Purposely, his route from Columbus to
the West Virginia metropolis, had been
withheld from the newspaper men by Mr.,
Bryan's travelling manager and cousin, w
s jennings, at one time Governor Of
Florida.
Nobody along the Pennsylvania Rail-
road had been notified that Mr.. Bryans
car would he attached to the regular pas
senger train that departed from Columbus
little after O'Clock. No crowd was
awaiting him at Columbus station.
But at Newark the center Of a demo-
cratic community, twenty-five miles east
of Columbus. a large assemblage thronged
the platform, and would not be satisfied
until Mr.. Bryan addressed them briefly
from the rear OF his car.
In response to a shout that Licking
county would give an unusual democratic
majority this year. Mr.. Bryan replied
smiling: you mean that this county will
give the republicans a good licking this
time
Through Newark the route lay through
the rich Tuscarawas valley which fol
years has been slightly democratic tC
Steubenville, which was represented to MIR
Bryan as a republican stronghold. Al
Coshocton Tuscarawas and Dennison he
repeated briefly the arguments against
his opponent that he has presented al
nearly every stopping place on the present
tour.
He preached the tenents of the Denve
platform with his accustomed zeal. fulll
expecting that protest in some form wouls
be made by the republicans in the crowds
and he was apparently as much disap
pointed as he was encouraged that nc
cheer for MIR Taft was uttered At every
point he shook hands with many women
and men.
Mr., Bryan yesterday declined positively
to discuss the decision Of the United States
circuit court at Philadelphia declaring
unconstitutional the oomodities clause oi
the Hepburn railroad regulation law He
was urged by alfriends TO say some
thing for publication on the subject, bui
refused, on the ground that he has not
had time to carefully study Judge Gray's
opinion.
