EDITOR GAINS STRONG
WORK IN GUTHR|E'S BEHALF

Editor f. +. Cain, Of the Benning
ton Tribune, is ina the city visiting
with friends. Mr.. Cain is consist
ent and aggressive friend of Guth-
rie, and his newspaper has Lten in
the forefront in the fight to return
the state capital to this city. HIS
editorial utterances on this sut-A
ject, appearing in almost every
recent issue of his paper, have been
a clear and cold presentation of TINS
question, squarely on its merits, ana
contain arguments and deductions
that are uncontrovertfble. Incl
uentally. it may not be amis to say
that Editor Cain never uses the
language of diplomacy when the
truth will serve to better purpose.
In fact Cain tells the truth, regard
less of friend or foe
The voters of Bryan county are
a unit for Guthrie in this capital
fight said Mr. Cain. Nothing but
victory for Guthrie is entertained
over there, and. what is better, the
voters will all register their wishes
on this subject at the polls.
II have travelled over large
portion of Oklahoma in the past few
weeks, and find a great majority
of the voters are for this city.
Many causes contribute to this feel
ing, but the main one is the upler
failure of Oklahoma City to keep
any of its promises, and this is ac-
centuated by the enormous expense
now entailed on the state for rent
ais that that city agreed to pay
and now refuses to pay.
Again, | meet with many people
who believe that Guthrie was never
given square deal in the capital
removal matter, and 67hey sympa-
thize, and will vote, ,Mecordingly.
1T is only question of election
day coming around" said Mr. Cain,
and Guthrie will be set right by
large majority"

OPPOSITION TO VIADUCT
CAUSED BY FALSE
IMPRESSION

II behooves the people of Guthrie
to vote the viaduct bonds. The
| election is tomorrow. This is the
last chance to secure the viaduct
and tie Santa Fee will expend four
dollars to every dollar expended by
| Guthrie.
There is no sentiment against the
yiaduct, but fierce opposition has
developed because of the wording OF
the call issued by the mayor. 1t is
argued that mo street is designat-
eu over which the viaduct shall be
built and that no mention is made
as TO how the money is to be ex-
pended. Under the law, public
utilities cannot use municipal
streets. The city authorities fear
any other wording of the call will
cause the attorney general to refuse
to pass favorably on the bonds.
Tibbetts, the city attorney, gives
this advice. Tibhetts, however. is
inexperienced. His advice Is
puerile. 1t is well to deal candidly
and openly with the voters.
However, Guthrie should not turn
bonds and let Guthrie grow. Oppo
sition to the bond issue is also caus-
ed by the delay in making the pub
lie park improvements and building
the bath house.
