NOT QUITE SO BAD
Washburn Was Not Turned
Down by Conference.
Professor i. d. Cardiff Says
Wrong Impression Is Out.
SHOWING is GOOD.
Conference Members Satisfied
With Conditions Here.
Topeka School Was Not Asking
But Invited.

The impression gained from the dis
patches on the Missouri valley athletic
conference in Des Moines that WASH
burn had been voted down as an APP
according to Prof. 1. d. Cardiff, repre-
sentative of Washburn at that con-
ference meeting.
The professor who is the faculty rep
resentative on the college athletic board
an censor of eligibility matters was
grteved at the report from the meet
ing which tended to- indicate that
Wasnburn had been denied something
asked for.
There was no vote taken on Wash
ence did not take up the matter of en-
1arging the circuit at all, due to a
misunderstanding with the college
presidents. Members of the conference
The college, it's requirements and attn
letic regulations had been thoroughly
investigated by the conference
"Washburn had not made application
for entrance awaiting some action on
the part of the conference. The result
was that Washburn had been solicited
and representative asked to come to
the meeting"
1t seems the assumption of authority
by the college presidents a year ago
when they volunteered to help the con-
ference manage athletics caused each
organization to expect something of the
other which neither performed.
The presidents of the colleges in the
valley conference met at the same time
as the Conference representatives. In
their meeting they practically decided
to leave athletic control to the confer
ence members. They decided, however.
that there should be no more Thanks
giving games and that games should
be played on college grounds.
The conference after spending most
of the morning, afternoon and night in
vigorous session decided to stand pat'
on last years rulings and await future
meeting for any new action.
The conference meets again in May
when the valley track meet is pulled
off in Des Moines at the Drake stadium.
What the result of that meeting as
regards Washburn will remains to be
seen.

inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions of tiny red corpus
Giles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element of the circulation,
their Office being to provide every
portion of the system with its neces-
sary strength and nutriment. In
weak, impure blood these corpuscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is not able to supply the
proper amount of nourishment to the
body. Bad blood manifests itself in
many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions,
others become bilious and malarious,
with sallow complications, torpid liver,
etc. Bad blood produces Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula

into abe town and the prospects for
the building of the line are certain
ly good. The road will, of neces-
sity, take that route in order to
have the traffic in oil and there is
another proposition brewing to build
line from here to the asphalt
fields at Woodford and the prospects
for that line also look good.
One of the men who owns prop
erty and producing wells in the field
said this morning that if the press
knew just what was being done in
the field that there would be scare
heads and excitement among the peo-
pie, but that oil people move quietly
and their plans are never made
known to the public.
All the bonus money asked for by
the railroad company has been raised
by the people along the proposed
route and the building of the road
seems certain.

HAVE CANDIDATES
COMPLIED WITH Law
COUNTY ELECTION BOARD HAS
ASKED FOR AN OPINION ON
COMPLICATED QUESTIONS.

The county election board have
some complicated questions before
them to decide.
One of the things to be determined,
is that of the candidates who failed
to file a statement with the secretary
of the county election board giving
the name of the person authorized to
expend the money which the law per-
mits him to expend in his race.
Section 1892 of Snyder's 1902 stat
utes and the session laws of l9O1-OS,
page $685. provides that the candidate
who desires to have his name appear
on the ballot at a primary election
shall file a statement giving his name,
his street number, the Office he de-
sires to run for, and the party ticket
npon which he desires to have his
name appear as a candidate, together
with the date of the primary. 1t also
provides that the candidate shall file
a statement with the county election
board giving the name of the person
whom said candidate has authorized
TO expend money in behalf of his can
didacy. and If he has not designated
any person stating that he will report
in person to the election board any
expenditures that he might make in
his canvas. The law provides that
any candidate who fails to file the last
statement shall not have his name
placed upon the ballot.
As some of the candidates failed TO
file this last statement with the coun-
ty election board. they got busy and
took the matter up with the attor-
ney general of the state, and hope to
have his opinion in a few days. If the
attorney general decides that this law
is effective, there are several candl'
dates who are running for office in the
city of Ardmore who will be effected.
Mayor Cotner was asked about this
proposition, and said: THAT is ques-
ton of law, do not know what the
attorney general will hold, and | do
not care as l would not seek to take
any technical advantage Of the stu
alton, even though the law should be
held to be in full force and effect. II

fectly willing to be defeated

VISIT ARDM0RE
ARDMORE'S RECENT BOOM HAS
CAUSED COMMENT IN THE LEG
ISlATlVE HALLS OF STATE.

One4half of the membership of the
state legislature will visit Ardmore
within a few weeks is the statement
of Representative U. r. ReXroat,
The copies of the Ardmoreite telling
of the development in the oil fields
and the advancement in city prop
erty values here fairly set the law
makers on fire and they will visit
the livest town in Oklahoma.
Within the past week more than
half a million dollars worth of prop
erty has changed hands in Ardmore,
many big deals have also been made
in the oil fields and there is more
activity in southern Oklahoma than
in any other section of the state.
Oil men from all parts of the
United States have their eyes or
Ardmore and some of the biggest
companies have already been here.
The Gates oil interests have bought
property in the fled, Jhe Texas Oil
company, the Producers Oil company,
Standard Oil company and other big
concerns have had men here within
the past few days.
1t is impossible to report what
oil men do and what they think.
They guard every movement and ev-
cry word and the people of an oil
section can determine what oil men
think only by what they do. They
companies visiting the field here
have made investments and that
means they will begin the develop
ment of oil and gas wells.
