General Charles West Tuesday ad-
dressed telegram to Senator J. G.
Graham, his opponent for the nomina-
tion for attorney general on the dem
ocratic ticket, accepting. Graham's s
challenge for series OF joint debates.
Graham had suggested that the series
begin at Vests home town, Enid, and
close in Graham's home, Marietta.
West agreed to that arrangement and
suggested tomorrow night as the date
for the Enid debate.
Graham's challenge followed the pub
lication of a letter by West, in which
he attacked indirectly Graham's rec
ord in the constitutional convention
Graham proposes to base the debate
on their official records, his own in
the constitutional convention and the
state senate and Vests as attorney
general. In the course of his chal'
lenge Senator Graham says:
II serve notice on you that in these
discussions | will charge you with alb
solute incompetency to fill the position
of attorney general of this state and
to properly represent the people In
that capacity; that you have filed sen
sational suits at the cost of the tax
payers for the personal and politica
reasons; that you have neglected the
important work Of your Office to lool
after matters which smacked Of sensa
tionalism; that you are a newspaper
four fusher, have absolutely failed
to make good and have no right K
ask the people of this state to agair
honor you with this Office

Craig County, Oklahoma.

Gentlemen: notice that in putting
In wooden culverts over small streams
and bad places in the road most Of
them are being placed in the middle
|of the roads. This placing Of culverts
and bridges in the middle of the roads
prevents the passage on either side Of
the culgerta Of threshing machinery or
other heavy machinery. AS machinery
of this kind is usually moved in the
summer time when the roads are dry
it would be great advantage to
threshing machine men and a great
saving to the county and annoyance to
the different supervisors, if they should
place these bridges a little to one side
of the road, allowing as many as u
or 10 feet always on the best and
smoothest side of the road for heavy
machinery to pass.
| have been in the threshing ma
chine business in this country for the
past twenty years, and know from
personal experience that machine men
will always avoid going over culverts

these culverts be placed in the future,

road as above suggested. I'M

 Placed in a Texas Asylum.

 The woman was seen carrying a half clother child about three months old about the streets in the hot sun. The child's face on one side was blistcred from the heat and it was plain that the mother did not have sufficient intelligence to protect it. She was taken to the police station and then Miss Gilchrist superin- tcndcnt of the associated charities. was interested in her behalf. It was learned that the authorities would take care of her if transportation back was furnished.
 The Bright woman is about twcn ty-seven years old. She came here some months ago with her mother who died three days after their ar rival in Phoenix. Ii is understood that the brother did what he could for his sister who was feeble minded when she came to Arizona, but a few months ago he got mixed up in the Shindelbower case and, after signing an affidavit disappeared from town, leaving the woman to take care of herself. He has secreted him self so carefully that he has not since been seen by any one who knows him.
