THE RUSSELL HURT DEBATES

The Russell-Hurt debates will end
in Enid Saturday, and the Oklahoma
City-Shawnee debates will close on
the same day in Lawton.
Senator Russell and Judge Hurt, the
former opposing the latter advocating
handle the Oklahoma City bill from
practically every angle Since Okla
homa City has partially pitched It's
campaign upon sO-called competition
between the measure and the New
Jerusalem bill. of which Senator Rus
sell is author, the Muskogee senator
declares that the New Jerusalem idea
has no place In the pending contest.
This Is given with the Injunction that
when the New Jerusalem. Is in the
race 1t will be, he says without a
blindfold," and its provisions amply
plain ard secure. One very essential
feature, he says. will include an OPP
portanity for the voter TO determine
with an exactness where and what
he is voting for In the shape OF land
This feature, he charged, is lacking in
Oklahoma Clty's effort. The senator

Guthrie's booster spirit was evil
denced to great advantage this morn
ing IN general closing of stores and
offices and shops and In rousing
capital location mass meeting at the
city hall. The practical results OF
the occasion were a large addition 10
the capital fund and the Inauguration
OF q w'hlrlwlnd canvass for the re-
malnder OF the campaign.
That was great meeting at tho
city hall No more representative
gathering has ever been secured IN
this city. Practically all places OF
business We're closed. Even the small
or shops and stores that are not usual
ly closed on any week day occasion
were closedeln response to the procla-
nation OF the mayor. AS conse'
quence the audience was composed OF
he big business man and the little
one, tho preacher and the blacksmith,
tho banker and the pool room man,
the girl clerks in the big stores and
the clerks from the offices, the butch
or and the hotel man and all the rest.
There was not much formalty about
tho meeting and tho speeches were
lively and to the point.
To Raise Sinews OF War
A feature of the occasion was the
appearance Of the four ministers who
have been over the state opposlnA
the Reputation of the state contract
With the nation. They made cheering
and buslness-llke speeches.
The main business of the day was
increasing the fund. The capital
committee reported the use OF all the
money subscribed. Tons OF literature
had been sent out and from ten to
fifteen men kept in the field The
proposition was put up to the peo
pie In this way.
The killing OF the Oklahoma City
land scheme Is dependent on gettinp
the facts before the people, for the
proposition IL not generally under
stood: many have been reached, but
thousands of taxpayers do not under
stand the monstrous scheme the
.iine is short. therefore, II the cam
paign is to be carried on to victory
there must be an immediate fund O
not less than $4,000 80 that worl
can be renewed in the next few hours
and carried on through next week.
Response Is Liberal
And the people responded. From
the time a 5000 subscription was an

TO Do AWAY WITH NUISANCE
Ordinance Cont EN- p e S
Sweeping of Sidewalks Out
side Business Hours

Early sweeping of sidewalks and no
sweeping during business hours are
contemplated in an ordinance intro
duced in the city council last night
by Councilman Higgins, by request.
1t provides for prohibition of sidewalk
sweeping in the business district be-
tween z a. m. and p m. The reason
as explained by Mayor Farquharson
and others, is that great majority
of people going to stores and shops
pass the business houses between Z
andS aud that the dust and dirt kick
ed up by the porters is unhealthful
and dangerous and disagreeabele.
Durham wanted to add window wash
ing, obiecting to having his head
tunked and his hat removed by a col
ored gentleman whirling a long pole
and taking a nap at the same time.
The ordinance goes over a week for
further consideration.
