RACE FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
Will Become a Three -Cornered One
-Rexroat, Darden and Drew.

1t now looks as though the office
of representative of Carter county
is to be one much sought after,
Three men, all well known to the
voters of the county as tried and
true democrats and as thoroughly
trained business men as well. Will
ask the voters of their constituency
to send them to the state capitol
next winter.
Those who seek this honor at the
hands of their friends and neigh =
bors, each wish to go as representa-
tive to Oklahoma City because each
believes that he can best conserve
the interests of this county if cleo
ted.
First to announce for this most
important office was u. T. Rexroat.
Mr.. ReXroat is well and favorably
known to every man, woman and
child in Carter county. He has al
ready served the people as their
legislative representative and in ask
ing reelection to the office knows
that he does so backed by a clean
record and work for the people well
and conscientiously done.
The next man mentioned as an as
pirant for the office was o. X. Dar-
den. Mr.. Darden is another man
who needs no introduction to the
people of Carter county. He is one
of the pioneers Of southern Ohlaho
ma. Coming to This section years
before statehood he cast his lot
with our people and engaged in
farming. Today he ranks as one OF
the most successful farmers in the
state. And he bears the justly earn
ed name of being a thorough and
conscientious business man as well.
Twice has he been chosen to rep
resent his district as county COM
missioner and each time has given
the people who entrusted him with
the countys welfare a good, clean
business administration. Every one
knows the rapid progress that Car
ter county has made since the first
dawning of statehood and all are
willing to concede that the tireess
effots of 0. X. Darden while county
commissioner has had much to do
with this progress. Should he b,
elected to the legislature it goes
without fear of successful contra
diction that he would work there as
he has in the office which he has
heretofore held, for the best interests
of all the people.
The last to aspire for the dis
tinction of representing this county,
the county which is known as one
of the best and as one of the most
progressive counties in the state,
is Byron Drew of the Ardmore State
bank. Like the two gentlemen whom
he will oppose in seeking this honor,
Mr.. Drew is known as thorough
and a conservative business man.
He has been resident of this state
for fifteen years and has made that
success in business which has mark
ed always the careful and the trust
worthy business man. Like Mr..
Rexroat, NJ. Drew has had previous
legislative experience, having, before
he cast his lot with the people of
this section represented Kaufman
county in the Texas legislature.
The voters of Carter county may
consider themselves indeed fortu-
nate in having arrayed before them
subject to their choice three such
we'll known and painstaking and
successful business men as are the
three men who are asking their
votes in the coming campaign for
representative. Choose who they
will of this lot, the voter, from
business standpoint cannot make
mistake
