held the boards at the big tent thea
tire and was enjoyed by all. each part
being well taken. Tonight Mr.. Chas.
Stoddard, who has been making his
home among US for the last three or
four years, will be seen in the dual role
Of "Dr. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde" in the dra-
ma Of the same name. Among the
dramatic people when an actor can
truly portray the character OF Jekyl
and Hyde he is considered fit to gradu-
ate from the dramatic ranks. 1t per-
haps affords more opportunity for good
dramatic work than any other play
presented this week. 1t is novel in
character, moral in tone and has been
given much study and thought by Mr..
stoddard who is said to have no SUI
perior for these parts. New and re-
fined vaudeville will be seen between
acts.

TO VOTERS

(ToHtltni AAf - tt'N6t
To the Democratic Voters Of Okla
homa:
Statements have been made through
the press and other ways that Mr. J.
b. Aiosley owns the controlling interest
in the Oklahoma Book company and
that he was my campaign manager In
the last campaign, and that secured
for the Oklahoma Book company an
exclusive contract with the state Of
Oklahoma for the sale Of school books
in this state, and that ! secured the ad-
option OF large number OF books, and
that forced unnecessary books on the
state.
desire to say that only one Of these
statements is true. Mr.. J. B. Mosley
was my campaign manager during the
last campaign. The Oklahoma Book
company is only a distributing agent
employed by part Of the publishers
who secured contracts from the text
book commission. and the companies
do business through the Oklahoma
Book company. CHM e. Co., the pub
fishers who secured the largest con-
tract from the text book commission,
distribute their own books from Dallas,
Texas. The publishers represented by
the Oklahoma Book company pay the
Oklahoma Book company for distribut-
ing their books.
The retail price Of all school books
was fixed by the text book commission
ami is stamped on each book sold by
the Oklahoma Book company.
am not a member Of the state
text book commission and had nothing
to do with the adoption Of the text
books. have no connection with the
Oklahoma Book company and am not
interested in It directly or indirectly
This company is in no way connected
with the state and has never had a
contract with It. 1t is merely a matter
of convenience for the publishers to
furnish books TO the children Of the
state.
The contract between the various
publishers and the Oklahoma Book
company for the distribution Of the
school books in this state is the same
kind of contract that the publishers
have in Kansas, Texas and many other
states.
| remember that Mr.. r. H. Wilson,
who is a candidate for state superin-
tendent, stayed in Guthrie several days
about the time the state text book
commission was in session and did his
very best to get contract with the
various book companies to organize
this Oklahoma Book company himself
I have never made any effort Of that
kind myself and do not expect 10.
do not know that it is Mr.. Wilson'S
purpose to try to organize company
i he should be elected state superin-
tendent.
These references in regard to my
bringing about the organization Of the
Oklahoma Book company and securing
the adoption Of a large number of
books and using my influence to bet
ter the business Of this company are
absolutely false and slanderous in
their nature.
Respectfully.

BURGLARS VISIT
HIGHLAND PARK
Police Endeavoring TO Catch
Thieves Who Entered Homes
and Church.

Vigorous efforts are being exerted
by The police Of Highland Park to
ferret out the thieves who visited
that community on July 10 when most
or the residents vacated their homes
and went on the joint Methodist and
baptist Sunday school picnic to the
seashore.
The burglars first sauntered into the
home of Mr.. John Todd, on Third ave-
ntio, near Custer street. making or
with a pistol and several articles of
iewelry. Then they visited the home
of Mr.. a. S. Gresham. next door, and
finding the revolver in that residence
of a superior make. they left the Todd
pistol in exchange for It. AS far az
can be learned they molested nothing
else, except a savings bank contain
ing a small amount Of money.
The same day the Northside Bap-
tist church was entered through the
basement. The thieves succeeded in
getting into the pastors study by
means of false key. and then they
broke the lock on his desk. They
left without getting anything of value.
Entrance into this church recalls a
visit which vandals paid the High
land Park Methodist church some
weeks ago, when considerable fur
nishings in the edihce were despoiled.
Patrolman Haller has been assigned
especially to the robberies, and is
working like a Trojan. He has two
clues that give promise of material
izing into something definite, but is
not yet ready to show his hand.
