CAMPAIGN FOR oNE-CENT
POSTAGE.
. = n II 81 ~ II n . I, n II II 81 II !:

Nearly nine billion pieces OF fifst
class matter were carried by the
post office department for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1911, according
TO careful estimates just made pub
lie by James J. Britt, third assistant
postmaster general at Washington.
OF the total over seven billion
pieces were letters and nearly two
billion pieces were post cards. The
grand total was S,S43,577,75i individ-
ual pieces.
One OF the interesting deductions
made BY General Britt is the fact
that over eighteen million dollars
was collected on post cards, the
weight OF which was little over ten
million pounds only. This amount
was Just over double the total rev.
enue received from 95l 10000

REGISTER OF DEEDS

Citizen Of Glenn Not Brought Out by
Any Clique. Entitled to Consideration.
In this issue of the Ardmoreite will
be found the announc ement OF W. S.
Gardner, of Glenn, for the office OF
Register of Deeds.
viii Gardner. (as he is familiarly
known among his friends) is no new
production of Oklahoma-brought
out by any clique or combination
to defeat any particular candidate
for the office of Register Of Deeds,
but product of Oklahoma since 1898
and making the race strictly upon
his own merits, after receiving much
encouragement from his friends.
Mr.. Gardner was born in South:
west Missouri, near Marshfield, Nov.
9TH, 1873, and emigrated to the In.
dian Territory with his parents in
Oct. 1893 and located at Glenn,
where he has continuously resided.
On Nov. 11th, 1897 he married
Miss Edda Williams, who had emf
grated two years previously from
Blue Springs, Miss. He received a
high school education in Missouri be.
fore leaving that state.
He was reared on a farm but after
residing in the Indian Territory four
years he purchased a stock Of gen.
eral merchandise at Glenn and con.
Quoted a successful business for two
years, but his inclination for his cho-
sen occupation of raising stock and
tilling the soil caused him to sell out
his stock of goods and return to the
farm.
He is an active farmer and compar.
atively a poor man. Mr.. Gardner has
had more or less dealings with a ma.
iority of the people of his section of
the country and he can point with
pride to the fact that he has made no
enemies, but on the contrary, those
who have dealt with him most and
know him best are his strongest
friends and supporters.
He is permanently located and has
the interest of Carter county at
heart.
He is firm believer in the strict.
est economy in the administration of
all the offices of Carter county and
that the one elected to the office

Mr.. Gardner states positively that
if elected, the office shall be kept open

mediation Of those living at a dis
tance from Ardmore.
He has been lifelong democrat,
born and reared one. He headed a
delegation of five from Glenn to the
democratic convention held at Hew.
lit to nominate delegate to the con.
stitutional convention of Oklahoma.
He desires a close inquiry into his
record as a citizen and takes pleas
ure in referring you to any good man
in Carter county of his acquaintance,
in regard to his qualifications, in
terest and honesty of purpose. His
habits are exemplary. The voters OF
Carter county will do well to give
him due consideration before decid.

pounds OF second class mail matter
produced. This latter was ninety
five times as much in weight ana
furnished less than $9,00O,OOo.
At the present rate, the depart
ment is receiving on first class mail
revenue of over "a cents per pound
equal to $3.50 per ton, thus making
profit of 66 per cent. First class
mail supplies less than II per cent OF
the total tonnage of the mails, yet
it pays 10 per cent Of the total rev.
enue.
In 1910, S,310,623 900 pieces OF first
class mail were carried by the post
office department. The cost OF han
ding and carriage according to Post
master General Hitchcock was $780,
752.511.35. The revenue collected
was s154, 7S6, ,66SOs, leaving a clear
profit to the government OF $5S,OO4,-
1878.
The total amount OF first class mail
carried in 1911 amounted to about
533 600, 200 pieces more than in 1910.
On this first class mail the govern
ment is making over S62,000,000 a
year in profits. Because of these
enormous profits. the business men
OF the country have formed the Ma.
tional One Cent Letter Postage As.
sociation, which is conducting a
campaign for a lower postage rate.
Charles VIM. Burrows, OF Cleveland
is president and George T. Mcln-
tosh, Of Cleveland is secretarytreas-
urer and general manager Of the
movement for a lower postage rate.
The association now has several
thousand members in all parts Of the
country
As resul: OF the vigorous cam
Taisn being Corducted by this asso-
citation, III has been int.Vduced III
congress by Senator Theodore E.
Burton Of Ohio and Representative
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts, for
one.cent letter postage rate to take
effect July 1st of this year The
movement has been cordially en-
dorsed by President Taft, Post Mas
ter General Hitchcock, and other gov
ernment officials.
James j. Britt. third assistant "ost-
master general, who is probably as
well informed concerning first class
mail as any official OF the depart
ment. declares that the country is en-
titled to lower rate.
According to General Britt, the gov.
ernment is making through the pos.
tai department on the carrying of
letters an average profit of siXty-five
cents per year from every man, wo
man and child in the United States
The department actual profit is
carefully estimated at over 62,000,OOO
On the other hand, every man, wo
man and child, some 100000 mill
ion OF them, is paying the govern
ment tax of siXty-eight cents pei
year for losses incurred on Other
classes of mail at existing rates, The
total loss being over 66,OOO,0oO.
Postoffice patrons pay more than
eighty-four cents PER pound for car
rying letters in the United States
although it costs only about half thai
sum to transport them. To correct
this condition, congress has been ask
ed to lower the firt class mail rate
from two cents to one cent. During
the fiscal year of 1911 the govern
ment made a profit of S62,0S1 800 g.
on first class mail, while it incurred
deficit of s66,3S6, ,662 6S on secont
class mail.
