PRELIMINARY TRIAL
Of JAKE LEWIS
HELD ON MURDER CHARGE WITH
OUT BENEFIT OF BAIL BY
JUDGE MASON.

What is said to be one Of the most
cold blooded crimes ever committed
in the county was that on the night
of July 80, when Jake Lewis shot
down Chas. Clement on the streets
of Ardmore.
The examining trial was begun yes
terday before Judge Mason and was
completed today when Lewis was
held without the benefit of bail The
evidence shows that Lewis was des-
perate that night lie shot at hack
driver without proyocation and later In
the evening shot at a woman. About
midnight he shot and killed Clement.
Two bullets from 45-calibre gun en-.
tered the chest of Clement, one was
fired into the back at SO close a dis
tance that the garments worn by Gle
ment were set on fire and when the
wounded man fell Lewis shook him by
the chin and told him to stand up
and die game. Clement had been the
lessee of the Dew Drop Inn but had
sold his lease and was preparing 10
leave Ardmore the next morning
Lews is said to have killed as many
as five or six persons.

BACK TO THE FARM.


1t now looks like its back to the
farm for Alfalfa Bill, the farmer >
friend" Fifteen hundred Of the POO
precincts in the state have been
counted and Cruce has a lead of 5000.
The remaining 600 precincts will not
have 5000 votes to be divided among
the three candidates and If Murray
should receive every vote cast in those
precincts he could not do more than
tie Mr.. Cruce and it is known that all
three of the candidates will receive a
due portion of the votes. SO the stu
alton looks very much like a Cruce
victory. Murray really has given up
the fight While his headquarters say
he has won they also say that the
certificate of nomination will not be
given him.
The charge which Murray makes
that in his strongholds the supreme
election board sent out too few ballots
is not well founded. I'm Carter coun-
ty where Cruce received three votes
to Murrays one there was a shortaso
of democratic ballots. Nhat same
shortage occurred in many other por'
tions of the state. 1t Is true tnaI
more democrat votes would have been
polled If here had been more ballots
but there is but one conclusion to Dc
reached from this and that is nearly
all the interest in the election was
centered upon the democratic ticket
Independents and many republicans
could not expect the republicans tC
win and they did not want to los,
their vote by going into the repuOn
can primary when they could save
their vote by going into the democrat
ic primary. rhe sharp contest in thu
counties induced heavy vote ol
democratic nominees. In Carte
county there were 1886 democratic
votes cast in the state primary whel
the chairman OF the democratic part
estimated that there would be fewe
than 2500. The election board printe,
twenty per cent more ballots thai
the party cast at the lat election bu
there were more than twenty per cen
more voters VINO would have cast den
ocratc ballots if they could have bee
secured The primary results shoN
very clearly that the contest in tn
state as to who will be the officers
an over. The democrats will WI
with hands down.
The returns also show that Ros
has not a shadow of a show Tor cle'
tion. The republicans may count tn
Ross vote as being opposed to tn
democratic administration but tha
idea is not wei founded The Ros
vote is the liquor vote. Those VIII
voted for Ross believe the best mett
cd of handling the whiskey problem
is to license saloons. they though
Ross could come nearer doing tha
than any other candidate, they wer
honest in their convictions and the
would not go back ON Ross althoug
they did not expect him to win
Cruce victory now seems certain.
Ardmore will be the home Of tn
governor
McNeal will most probably be IN
republican nominee and he is a ma
who will not poll the entire strengt
of his party in Oklahoma and demo
cratic victory I'm November is certain
