Mayor Pennington on woman's Vote


Said Mayor Pennington: 81 want

of the town that they will be ex-
pcctcd 10 vote Ia the election foi the
purpose OF issuing bonds for schools.
Also. they will vote at the same time
for school trustees. ! am not quite
certain, but my understanding is
that they will have TO register, and
that the law on that point is the same
as for men. They should be notified
I'M time SO that there will be no
trouble about their votes being legal.
have always thought that The
schools should be in the care u
women, just so far as possible. The
mothers ought to have a chance ID
say who Is going to direct the eGu-
cation of their children. And be su~h
to emphasize this fact; The door pt
no church in Ardmorc will be quietCr
or more orderly than the polling

is that we did away with all bad con
/ duct about the polls in Oklahoma
long ago. The scenes that used to
disgrace a polling place years a5o
/ can never occur again, at least not IN
this state"
Mr.. Pcnnington's utterances show
his manlinoss and reflect the senti
mcnts OF all men Of culture and iu
tclligcnco in these days. II rests, OF
course, sntirely with the women OF
America, and Ardmore in particular
10 what extent they take part in gov
eminent, national. municipal, OF

necessary for them TO be more g.

who were active in the campaign 10

real obstacle TO their success IS ,ho
the women OF America have no

COMPLAINT FILED
 WITH COM MISSION

Washington, August 16.-Refusal of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad company and other steam lines to join with the Pacific Electric railway of Delhi, Cal in the making of through routes and joint rates to points in other states is the basis of a complaint of dis crimination filed today with the interstate commerce commission by the Southern California Sugar company. The sugar company alleges it is forced to pay ex- cessive rates for transportation.
 While there are some exceptions to the rule it practically is a general practice throughout the country for steam rail- roads to decline to enter upon either pas senger or freight traffic alliances with electric roads, The reasons for this attl- ture never have been stated clearly and it is not unlikely therefore, that the con- mission shortly will enter upon general inquiry into the matter.
