ARDMORE VOTERS
CHOOSE LEADERS
WILLIAM ROBERTS FOR MAYOR
AND DAVE BOOKER FOR CHIEF
OF POLICE WIN AT PRIMARY.

William Roberts was chosen at the
polls in yesterdays primary as the
regular nominee of the democracy Of
Ardmore for the office of mayor.
The selection was good one and
Mr.. Roberts won the nomination only
after a hotly contested fight. S. s..
Tolson, his nearest competitor, was
only seven votes behind him when
the polls closed.
The fight on chief of police was
equally as hotly contested as was
that in the mayors race. Each Of
the three candidates, Booker, Braziel
and Emerson, had a strong individual
following each Of whom worked all
day and worked hard for his choice.
When the polls closed Booker was
shown to be the nominee, leading
Braziel his nearest opponent, by
forty-five votes.
William Roberts, the choice for
mayor at yesterdays primary, bears
the pleasing distinction of being a
man who has never been defeated
for any office he has ever sought.
Mr.. Roberts is known well and fa-
vorably to every man, woman and
child in Ardmore. He came to>this
section before there was an Ardmore.
When the Santa Fe was building
through this section of the old Chick
asaw nation William Roberts and his
brother, Tom Roberts, were contract
ors upon the construction, work Of
the line, coming here from the state
of Texas. After their contract was

completed they each thought this
section would be a good place to
live and stayed here. So that when
Ardmore was staked out and became
"a town William Roberts was one OF
her first citizens. In 1898 when Ard
more was incorporated Mr. Roberts
was a candidate for the office Of
tax assessor. 1t was said Of him
at that time that he went without
his meals and without sleep so stren-
uous was his campaign. When the
vote was counted on that election
day he was declared elected and from
that time on he held the office of
assessor just as long as he wanted
it. The whole heartedness with
which he entered and remained
through the first campaign markell
his fight in the present race and was
responsible to a great degree for his
success. 1t was said yesterday even
ing that Mr.. Roberts had been
elected by a scratch" but the fact
might have been well added to the
assertion that his steady and unceas-
ing campaign made that scratch pos
sible. Also, it might be we'll added
to the remark that Mr. Roberts has
always been an Ardmoreite, for Ard
more under all conditions and cir
cumstances, was the main thing
which made his nomination possible
Mr.. Roberts has promised the peo-
pie of this city a careful and a
business administration. He has said
that nothing will be attempted with
out careful investigation of ensu-
ing results. In administering the af-
fairs of the city Mr.. Roberts pro-
poses to take the best men of the
city into his confidence and to con-
suit this advisory board on all al
fairs of importance to the welfare and
general good of the city. He will
devote all his energies in an effort
to reunite the people on any subject
where dissensions have heretofor en-
listed and will work with that indom-
table force of character which char

Now Member of Directors Board.


]. wv. Johnson was chosen to serve
as q member of the board of directors
of the Ardmoreite Publishing com
pany which was held in the company S
Offices in this city en- the evening OF
March II.
The selection of Mr.. Johnson as a
director was a good one and one that
will meet the hearty approval of ev-
cry individual stockholder of the cor
poration. Mr.. Johnson resides at
Milo, in this county and is known
as one of the most public spirited
and hustling of the many hustling cit
liens of Carter county. He has made
a successtof his own private business
and it goes without saying that he
will contribute largely to the future
prosperity of the Ardmoreite Publish
ing company.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-03-19

acterizes him for a bigger, broader
a better and a more progressive Ard
more.
David L. Booker, who was selected
ry the people at yesterdays primary,
is another man whom everybody in
Ardmore knows and respects for his
ability and efficiency. Mr.. Booker =
native son of the great old state
of Kentucky-the state which has
given to the world more pretty wom-
en-, more brilliant statesmen and
more fearless men than has any 9th .
er state in the union. Mr.. Booker,
like Mr. Roberts, is a pioneer OF
this city. He came to Ardmore
from Texas at an early day, as q
deputy United States marshal, and
from the day of his first arrival here
has been almost continuously in the
harness as a peace officer. Mr..
Booker is known throughout the en-
tire southern section of the state as
one of those men who never formed
the acquaintance of anything dishon-
orable and as a man who never knew
the meaning of the word fear" He
has served this city on more than
one occasion as its police chiefs
the present incumbent-and has al
ways made good and a reliable and
an efficient officer.
One of the many things which can
be said OF Mr.. Booker is that, as a
public servant and an officer of the
law he plays no favorites. While
in private life he will go his limit
for a friend and will divide his last
dollar with one in distress, as an Of
ficer of the law he knows no one but
duty. The poorest unfortunate who
has violated the laws of the land
meets with the same just and impair"
tial treatment at his hands as the
laws violator who is better fixed in
the possession of this worlds goods.
This is one of the many character
istics of Dave Booker that did more
than anything else in the matter OF
bringing about his election. Known
to all as a man who was absolutely
fearless and honest and who never
had nor never would let personal af-
fairs or personal friendships inter
fere in the discharge of his duties,
is election over all opponents was
practically conceded several days be =
fore the primary.
Like Mr.. Roberts, Mr.. Booker Is
an Ardmore man for Ardmore. lie
believes that a uniting of the citizens
means a common good and he may
be depended upon to do his duty in
the future as he has always done it
in the past.
