Leo Never Leads.

From every voting precinct of the
state comes assurances of support for
Leo Meyer lor the democratic NOM
ination Tor Secretary of State. And
to Leo Meyers many friends through
ut Oklahoma this news is certainly
pleasing to the ear. And there's a
reason for it, II there is one man
who is deserving of the cordial and
enthusiastic support which is being
pledged him daily, it is Leo Meyer
tor he has made good in his present
position as Assistant Secretary OF
state and is entitled to promotion.
The office ct Secretary of State has
proven TO be one OF the best revenue
producers of the state government.
In twenty-five and a half months the
total fees collected were $131, ,5S7 90,
total appropriations for salaries and
contingent expenses for that period
being S27,925.00, leaving a net earn
ing of $l03, ,662 90. The fees collect
ed by the Secretary II the Territory
of Oklahoma in the twenty-five and
half months previous to statehood
amounted to $3O,773.75, total appro-
pri&tions for salaries and expenses of
that office for that period being s17,-
900 leaving net earning of 13,773.75.
1t was Leo Meyer who advocated the
new fee system for the issuance Of
charters and which has proven to be
such a splendid money getter for the
office. DO you wish to continue this
policy of business ability and square
dealing. If you do and if you wish to
reward man for his past services
beth to the party and state you will
vote for Leo Meyer and you will have
a Secretary of State who does things

THE SITUATION IN
FOURTH DISTRICT
CARTER is SAFELY THE REPRE-
SENTATIVE AS LONG AS HE
MAINTAINS PRESENT RECORD.

William O. Beall the staff writer ON
the Times-Democrat has made a visit
into the Fourth Confessional district.
What he has to say of the situation
in this district with reference to the
candidates. of Charley Carter and
Charley Campbell will be interesting
t. the people here. Mr.. Beall had
been through Sequoyah, Adair, Cher
okee and o,her counties ana of his Wis
it into the Fourth district he says:
To-day | drifted across the boun-
dairy line between the third and fourth
congressional districts; from the re-
gion of uncertainty and doubt to the
realm of congressional certainty.
The first man / asked, who happened,
by the way, to be a republican, If
Charley Carter would have any strong
opposition to reelection. looked me
over as though ! was dwelling idiot
and should have learned in my kinder
garten days that the fourth congress
sional district belonged to Charley
Carter without murmur.
The district is strongly democrat
ic and Charley Carter seems to have
organized and marshalled his forces
in such a Napoeonic manner that
the pronounced affinity between
him and the district is liable to be
perpetual. In other words Charley
Carter is safely the congressional
representative from this district just
as long as he wants the job and
keeps up the excellent record he has
so far made. OF course he has an
opponent on the republican side and
a mighty good man too. c. NJ. Camp
bell, eX-clerk of the U. S. Court, of
the old southern district of the indian
Territory and from Carter's home
town, has been selected by the repub-
licans of the 4th TO lead the forlorn
hope. Campbell is only running for
the office to keep his hand in, line up
the organization and be in a position
to accept a good federal appointment
should it come his way. The congress
sional situation in the 4th district is
such a cut and dried affair that
will not again refer TO it in these LEI
ters as a matter of political specula-
tion.'

YOUNG DEMOCRATS
ORGANIZE A CLUB
PERMANENT DEMOCRATIC CLUB
EFFECTED LAST NlGHT-Peo-
PIE URGED TO REGISTER.

The Young Mems Democratic Club
of Carter county was organized in the
district court room last night and if
they accomplish just one proposition
set on foot--that of bringing about
the registration Of every democratic
voter in Ardmore-they will have
done a duty to the democratic party
that cannot be overjudged.
The meeting was called to order by
II. o. Johnston in the absence of the
temporary chairman, Guy II. Sigler
Permanent organization was per
fected with the following officers;
President-H. o. Johnston.
Vice President-Arthur Reeder
Secretary-Edward Gait.
Executive Committee II. H.
Brown, chairman; Arthur Reeder,
Fred C. Ryburn.
After the election of officers a
general discussion was entered into
and it was the concensus OF opin-
ion of those present that the most
important thing political in Ardmore
at this time was the registration
of the democratic voters, it being
apparent that a general apathy pre-
walls in this regard. Looking to this
end the chairman was instructed to
and appointed committee of one
from each voting precinct IN the
city to urge the voters to register.
At the meeting held a week ago
last night a membership committee
was appointed and the club now
has membership OF nearly 300 in
the county and Ardmore.
There was not so large an at
tendance at last nights meeting
due to the intense heat-but the
meeting was one of great enthusi-
asm and the club promises to grow
to a membership of at least 500,
meetings 10 be held every Monday
night, and the organization to be
kept intact even after the primary
and general elections. 1t is the pur-
pose of the club to enthuse the
young men with the principles of
democratic government, and to inter
est them in the political issues as
they arise, thus enabling them to
intelligently discuss questions before
the people for consideration and to
go to the polls enlightened and able
to vote intelligently. And further
than this the object is to get the
young men Observation-Disclosures that
organization is the first step es-
sential in the success of a political
party-in order that they may assist
in the triumph and supremacy of
democracy. The next meeting of the
club will be held in the district
court room at $50 p. m. Monday
night when a program of unusual
interest will be carried out.

McAlester, Okla, July 1S.-A dis
patch received here today by Pat
Malloy, superintendent of the Rock
Island Coal Mining company, from
Carl Scholz of Chicago, president
of the company, instructing him TO
post notices at the mines at Alder
son and Hartshorn than inasmuch
as the district leaders of the union
would not sign a contract except in
keeping with theiA ante-election
promises to secure an advance, there
was little hope of settlement and
that the mines would resume opera
t1ons as soon as a majority of the
miners signified their willingness to
go to work at the price paid last
year, the company, however, to not
sign any contract with the organi-
zation. This is construed here as
the entering wedge for the operat-
ors to go to work on the open shop
plan. Many of the miners are with
out means and the local and ma
tional treasures. Mr.. Scholz SAYS.

WANT PROSECUTOR
TO INVESTIGATE
FARMERS PETITION FOR INVES-
TIGATION OF LEGALITY OF
FRAZER CHANGE IN c. Q. MAR
TIN ROAD.

The farmers in the Ford neighbor-
hood have petitioned the prosecuting
attorney to investige the w. G.
Frazier change in the G. @. Martin
road about three miles southwest of
Pullman. The petitioners claim that
about six years ago a petition and
remonstrance for the change were
presented to the county commissions
ers and that the proposed change
was rejected, but that last fall
Frank Henderson and w. G.. Frazier
fenced up the old road and forced
travel on the line of the change. The
petitioners set forth that the new
road is now impossible and that as a
result they are threatened with los
ing the R. f. d. service on routes.
1t is understood that Mr.. Frazier
secured an order for the change from
the commissioners, and the petition
ers want the prosecuting attorney to
investigate the legality of the mat
ter and take action to give them a
passable road.
