Elimination of the Negro
Has Brought Many Re
cruits to the Party; Some
Have Become Democrats.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 16.-The total
number Of qualified voters in Texas is
much greater than the average lay
man might De led to believe from the
returns of the primaries and the last
general election. II is estimated that
there are more than 1905 men Of
voting age who do not pay their poll
tax and are therefore disqualified from
participating in the elections.
The total number of poll taxes paid
this year was 535.352. to which must
be added exemptions to the number of
so, 3o2. making total of $685. men
who are qualified TO participate in the
general election in November.
Notwithstanding the unusual interest
that was shown in the recent campaign
of the Democratic candidates for gov
ernor the total number of votes cast
in the primaries was only approximate
~ $4,000. This leaves 240, s54 quail
fed voters who did not participate in
the Democratic primaries. Counting
the 100000 who would be privileged
to vote but for the poll tax prerequisite,
makes approximately $4,000 men in
Texas who did not exercise the right
of suffrage in the Democratic primar-
les.
Many Texas Republicans.
1t would not be a fair estimate to
say that the 246,654 qualified voters
who remained out of the primaries are
Republicans but it is apparent that
those Of this number who are Demo
crafts were indifferent as to the outcome
of the contests for the Democratic
nominations and that they are at least
available timber for successful mis-
sionary work on the part of the Re
publicans 1t is claimed that at least
% 600 Republicans in South Texas par
ticipated in the Democratic primaries.
Add this number to the 240.6 54 quail
fed voters who did not exercise their
voting privilege, and making due al
lowance for the thousands of Demo-
Gratis who will not vote in the general
election, there is room for a heavy
increase in the Republican vote in the
state. in November. according to the
views of colonel Cecil Lyon and other
leaders of that party
Fewer Negro Republicans.
1t is stated that the efforts of col
onel Lyon and other prominent men
of that party to eliminate the negro
from conventions has succeeded In
the recent state Republican conven-
ton at Dallas there are reported to
have been less than 20 negro dele
gates out of a total of several hum
dred. This is a marked change from
the Republican state convention of
few years ago. particularly during the

ADJUSTMENTS
COLISEUM,

Last night, the second opening of the acts at the Coliseum this week was greeted with two packed houses, and while one of the acts still failed to ma terialiZe, the juvenile act, Petite and Master Frank Naydene, appeared in the cleverest little singing and talk ing and change act that ever graced the boards of a vaudeville stage in the city. Both have excellent voices and beautiful costumes, making a number of changes during the act. Both Master Frank and Petite Nay dene are wonderful performers for their age, and many remained over from the first show to see them again on their second appearance. Galgano and Hammond in their clever singing harp act received many encores, to several of which they responded, as did also the cowboy violinist. Profes- sor SherZel, who rendered some eX- cellent selections and some very pret- ty limitations. The picture program was a good one, completing an excel ent show.

 The Young Mems Phoenix club in- tends to take an active interest in the welfare of the city. If there are abuses that need correcting the club will not be backward about recommending such correction. While it is non par tisan the club may we'll become some thing of a political force provided its anticipated membership is achieved ana the club stands as a unit for some municipal reform. Its chief business. however, as indicated in the bylaws. will be to advance and advertise the interests of this valley. Distinctly. it is a boosters club.

 Name of the New Organization.

Phoenix has a new club. It was formed last night by a number of en- l thusiastic young men who met at the rooms of the board of trade in the Fleming building The purpose of the | club as stated in the bylaws adopted last night is ito create sentiment con ducive to the upbuilding of Phoenix and the Salt River valley and to take such action as may tend to better conditions in business, social and po- litical affairs

 AS the name implies, the club is distinctly young mems organization. Although Dr. Osler has been gone one or two better and the age limit placed at forty it is not meant to imply that all over forty are useless as club members. There is provision for all these who will be admitted as asso- ciate or honorary members; but the intent of the club is to have a work HE ApiNt Ol tlltEStllC NOulB IlCn WHO will do things as well as advance the ories and make suggestions It is pro posed to get a membership of two hundred young men, to purchase de- sirable site and to build a club house All this of course is dependent on the support which the club will receive from the general public. in particular from the young men of the city The membership will be selected with great care; only those who are pro- gressive. who have the best interests of the Salt River valley at heart and who are earnest in their desire in building up this part of the country will be considered desirable acquisi- tions to the membership roll
 The annual dues of active members will be five dollars, payable within ninety days of their election. The dues for associate members are the same. The bylaws provide for committees as follov,7: an executive committee com posed of the officers of the club and the chairmen of the standing commit tees; which will be reception, pro- gram. finance. publicity and civics.

Ladies Aid Society

The Ladies Aid Society of the M.
E. Church held an interesting meet
ing at the home of Mrs. Jno. Lual-
len last Thursday. About twenty of
the ladies devoted the greater part
of the day to tacking comforts for
Mrs. Luallen, and after the business
meeting they gave luncheon to the
entire society, which was a most
pleasant surprise.
The report received at this meet
ing concerning the calendar work
was satisfactory and showed great
progress.
The committee desires, in this
connection, to notify everybody that
all reports must be in no later than
the first meeting in November.
The next meeting will be held on
Thursday, September 29th.

The stockholders of The Barber

the home of WA. Newkirk in Moore

Needs Attention

Mrs. Jessie O'Dell who came
here with her family from Black
we'll, Oklahoma, few weeks ago,
took very suddenly and seriously i'll
on Saturday ,and until Sunday morn
ing her condition wa alarming. buf
prompt attention on the part of
neighbors and physicians restored
her and she is now almost well.
Since her arrival here, it has come
to the notice of near neighbors that
the family is almost destitute, and
her sickness made it imperative that
some action be taken. There are
seven children in the family and it
is impossible for the woman, even
when she is in good health, to prop
erly support them, much less in
sickness. Individuals furnished pro-
visions Saturday and Sunday and
the township and city authorities
arrangements are being made to ex-
tend proper aid. There Is a question
as to any legal obligation on the
part of tthe county on account OF
the family's just coming in, and the
absence of the husband and father,
but we are confident that our people
will arise to the emergency and be
humane regardless of technical law.
1t appears that Mr.. O'Dell is a
| worthless man, has no concern for
his family and is adrift. Mrs. O'Dell
was brought up here but has not
lived here for fifteen years. She is
niece of Peter Chenoweth and
wife who at one time resided in the
city, and she lived with them before
| her marriage.

Bond Proposition Under Way

Burns & O'Donnell of Kansas
City who have been engaged to
make estimates on a stand-pipe, well
ETC., for the city, have submitted
figures to the mayor and council but
several matters remain to be ironed
out. The figures submitted call for
a little over $1,000 to put the new
plant in, but this estimate includes
two engines which the city officials
think would be unnecessary, as we'll
as some other items that could prob,
ably be dispensed with, and they
think that with an outlay of about
$4,000 the new plant can be install
led.
But before any bond election will
be undertaken it is the intention to
advise the public thoroughly in the
premises, and to this end it has
been suggested that a committee
should be appointed to make inves-
tigation and report concerning what
would be the cost of putting the
present ditch and system in good,
substantial, sanitary condition to-
gether with the cost of new sys-
tenn and it's operation, and this COM
mittee should be composed of prac-
tical men from all factions. The
people will have to be assured that
everything is regular and for the
very best interests of the city before
they will consent to increase the
bonded Indebtedness. {.
That something will have to be
done to put the water system in bet
ter shape, is conceded by everybody,
but what that something is, is
matter to be ironed out.
The foregoing suggestion comes tt
The Index from a citizen who is
deeply interested in bettering water
conditions, and we think it is wor-
| thy of consideration.

Up in a Balloon

A party of atmospherical tourists
sailed over Barber about ten DAYS
ago not knowing whittier they were
drifting nor where they might
alight. The party was discovered h,
j. w. Burton at his home near Act
na. They were about 250 feet in
the air and conversed with him suf-
flclently long to learn where they
were and how far from railroad
Two days later it was learned that
they came down to earth forty miles
northwest of Woodward and they
employed a farmer to take them to
town where they boarded a car and
quit the air navigation method.
The party was composed of four
men. They startled from Topeka ant
intended to go to>St. Louis but the
wind changed and carried them in
to unexpected lands. When they
learned from Mr.. Burton that they
were going in a direction opposite
from the route intended, they were
very much surprised But
they had some valuable experience
and a sensational, thrilling adven.
ture and they doubtless feel well
repaid

Senator Hodges Visit

Hon. George H. Hodges, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, and
Hon. Lot Ravenscraft, candidate for
lieutenant governor, spent two hours
in the city Friday afternoon. Sem
ator Hodges spoke about a half
hour from the band stand in the
court house yard and his speech was
so fair so forcible, truthful and
logical that he was commended by
people of all political faiths He
proved from the records that five of
the nine square deal measures that
Kansas now has, were introduced by
Democrats in the legislature and
that if it had not been for Democrat
ic help none = of the square deal
measures for which Gov. Stubbs now
claims sole credit, would have be-
the Republican members of the leg
islature supported them
He also informed his listeners
that over one hundred useless Of
ficers had been added to the state
pay roll in the past two years which
largely accounts for our increased
state taxes.
Senator Hodges could not speak
long az he had to leave on the $3.50
train for Kiowa but he left a good
impression. On account of the very
IuSV time amOno- the farmers there
were few people in town but not
withstanding this Disadvantage there
were about one hundred voters out
to hear the short address.
Senator Hodges is a fine speaker
and an excellent man personally. He
made many friends while in the city

After reading columns one and

even if he should have only brains
enough to be Judge of the Probate

that the articles in regard to candi-

the words, paid ADV" And the
little item at the end of column two
purporting to have been taken from
The Kiowa News-Review, in regard
to Probate Judge Steve Garrison,
was cut short from the original item
that appeared in the News-Rev1ew,
which came unsolicited and was not

ual loss will run we'll up into the

unknown. The people fought the
fire without let-up for three hours
and there were no serious accidents,
but it seems like a miracle that
none of the six fire fighters on top

fell in, were not caught. The streets
at daylight Monday morning were
filled with furniture, household
goods, lumber, wagons, buggies and
farm machinery. The CHASTITY wall

was all that was left of one of the
very best business buildings and

is not only a personal one. 1t is
