MAYORALlTY CAMPAIGN.

Ardmore is today repeating its own
history Every two years since the
passage of the Curtis Bill in 1898,
there has been a political contest for
the Office OF mayor. Friends of the
contending forces have always been
active in the behalf of their friends
and they are today active in the fight
that Is on. There have been some
insinuations made not backed by any
proof in this campaign that are unfor-
tunate but men must learn to over
look errors made in the heat OF a po-
litical battle and the voters of this
city owe 1t to their town to hold them
selves in position to support the
men who receives the nomination for
mayor and by support we do not mean
merely to cast your ballot for him in
April but to support him during the
tenure of his Office. Ardmore has too
much at stake to waste its energies
and destroy its power for progress
upon a political campaign where men
of the same political party are con
tending for office. Ardmore ought to
double Its population within five
years, with political differences that
destroy harmony. with political differ.
ences that disturb friendship, with DO.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-03-20

litical differences that cause men to
grow morose, careless and disheart-
ened the town can never thrive. Citi-
zenship is the thing that counts in
the building of town and the citi-
zenship of this city owe it to them
selves to cast their ballots as they
see 1t for the best interests Of the
city and then to submit to the rule of
the majority and join hands with the
administration and aid it in every pos
sible way to make Ardmore greater
city.

The fact that the last legislature
passed an act amending the election
laws of the state which carried the
emergency. and the statement in the
press that the governor had signed
the law, has aroused much inquiry
here. Whether it affected the election
to be held tomorrow was the infor-
nation sought. II was reported that
he bill carried provision which
compelled each voter to vote in a
primary election as he registered, that
is if he registered as a democrat he
must vote democratic ticket in
the primarily, if he registered as a
republican he must vote the repub-
lican ticket in the primary, etc.
A telegram from A. G. Cruce today
to Maze Cruce of this city states
that the new law will in no way af
feet the election to be held here
tomorrow. that all persons who are
entitled TO vote in the general cleo
tion are entitled to vote in the pri-
mary election to be held tomorrow.
The election tomorrow is held to
nominate a candidate for mayor on
the democratic ticket, to nominate
two members of the board OF city
commissioners, one from the third
ward and one from the fourth, to
nominate two members of the board
of education from each ward of the
city and to nominate treasurer of
the board of education.
In the school board election there
are no contests, fortunately Ardmore
has never had a school fight and
as a result the schools have never
been disturbed, but have continued
to grow every year. The contest for
the treasurer of the board is rather

an interesting but a good natured
fight. The candidates for this place
are Y. b. Lynn, Joe F. Pate, Don r.
Russell and Harold Wallace.
By far the warmest contest is in
the mayoralty campaign. James A.
Cotner, the present incumbent, has
as an opponent, David II. Dawson,
a member of the board of city COM
missiOners. Political workers on both
sides have been busy for several
weeks and no stones have been left
unturned on either side. Each candi.
date has wideawake committee and
there have been times when the
fight was exceedingly warm. Today
both sides are absolutely confident,
or at least the workers express them
se.ves in that manner. Some money
will change hands as a result of the
election, but none of the wagers have
been heavy ones.
W. |. Cruce is billed to speak in
the interest of the candidacy of Daw.
son tonight in front of the Ardmore-
ite office. A committee has been ap-
pointed to arrange for the speaking.
Mr.. Cruce went to Hugo today and he
intends to return at noon, but in case
he does not return until the night
train, Mr.. Dawson vail entertain the
crowd until the arrival of Mr.. Cruce.
The Cotner people have announced
that they will hold a meeting at
the corner of Main and B. streets in
front of the county court house. The
band has been secured for the Cot.
ner meeting and there will he several
speeches made. Mr.. Cotner will make
the principal speech.
There will be something doing in
the mayoralty campaign every minute
from now until the polls are closed.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Recent improvement in Trade Conditions Very
SLow Say Dun and Bradstreet

New York, March 17-Bradstreet's re-
view of the state of trade tomorrow
will say:
:'Distributive trade is still quiet, more
So perhaps. than in recently preced-
ing weeks. because many visiting buyers
have returned home to await the first
indications of the trend of spring
retail distribution. The latter branch
of the trade has been in turn
checked by a sharp, cool snap which has
overspread a large area OF the West
and North. and which, while not sufficient
tn stimulate demand for leftover winter
goods. has nevertheless operated to re-
tard business for spring wear. or the
leading lines of wearing apparel, perhaps
most activity largely at wholesale, mas
been in millinery, in which the trade Is
really optimistic Staple dry goods have
sold fairly well, but price or tarlf1
uncertainties are a check to free buying.
There is a feeling in the wholesale cotton
goods trade. however, that the line OIL
resistance 10 lower prices has now been
reached. and this is foTtihed oy the
closing down or curtailment OF opera
tions by many miles North and Soutn.
Wool is dull, and although bargains Oh
fer manufacturers will not buy freely
until tariff uncertainties are solved
In most lines of distribution the feel
ing is one of disappointment at the gar
nered results of trade already done, tenn
pered. however, by the feeling that stocks
are not large in any quarter. and that
demand when awakened by the hnal ad-
vance of the late season will find sheIVes
well cleaned and new demand lnslstent.
Collections are irregular, ranging from
fair to SLOW"
The Washington herald., 1911-03-18

New York, March 17-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Recent improvement in trade conditions
is very slow, irregular, and conserva-
tive, and is chiefly in evidence in iron
and steel, in which there Is a larger de-
mand for structural materials, a more
cheerful sentiment as regards pig iron.
and better mill conditions in finished ma
terials. The volume OF transactions is
generally larger than in the preceding
quarter, while business sentiment is
helped by the hopeful outlook for the
crops, which. in spite of the complaints
common at this season. promise another
year of sustaining and profitable produc-
ton. Among the Distinguishing features
of the business are the growing ease
of money at home and abroad, the enor-
nous accumulation of American cred
in Europe, estimated as high as 500. .000.
900 and due to American loans abroad,
and to foreign purchases OF American
securities and products, chiefly the latter,
and the expansion in our export commerce
and in our balance of trade. These con-
ditions. while evidence of past depression.
which always results in reduced buying
of new supplies and in increased stocks
of idle money. are also elements OF great
strength. because ii is out of such con-
ditions that the preparation is made for
future activity.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are Z7S. against 252 last
week. 291 the preceding week. and 2F
the corresponding week last year. Fail
ures in Canada number 30, against "a
last week. 5 the preceding week. and
2s the corresponding week last year.
