to have been on very great scale
German reports say that their forces
fell back on their first line of defenses
around Using Tau.
Occasional fighting continues in Bel
gium. Amsterdam reports sharp en-
counter between the Germans and Bel
gians four miles east of Antwerp and
other clashes 16 miles east of Ghenet.
How they resulted is not known. There
has been a distinct falling off of war
news emanating from the capitals of
the beligerents, or which must pass
through these capitals in reaching the
United States. The censorship at Lon
don has been made much more severe,
evidently in the interest of British
strategy and this action has been re-
acted at Paris, resulting in abbreviat-
ed reports official and unofficial from
France From the start, the censor
ship at Berlin has been rigid. At the
present moment the absence of de-
tailed reports from the battle lines
seem to indicate that momentous
events are transpiring.
A Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam
says that the Germans are again bonn
harding Malines. They also attacked
Grembergen, but were repulsed by the
Belgians with heavy losses.
1t was officially announced in Lon
don this afternoon that Duala, the off
cial seat of the government of the Ger
man colony of Kamarum, German
equatorial Africa, had surrendered to
C. British force.

CARRlNZA READY To RESIGN
AS PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
Constutonas Leader Will Sacrifice Personal Ambition to
Saue Country Another Revolution Villa Says It's Resign
Or Fight. Wants Election Called And Will Not Accept
Carranza As President

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Develop-
ments in the Mexican situation, espec-
tally the outcome of conferences be-
tween representative of Carranza and
Villa were awaited with interest to-
day. The prevailing opinion in the
Latin-American colony was that Car
rama would withdraw and further
bloodshed would be avoided.

is incalculable. The courthouse had
no freproof vault for the protection
of the records and the building, being
of wood, was soon transformed into d
furnace.
Sheriff Christian, it is understood,
lost most of the records of his office,
as did Clerk of Court Thornton. Col.
]. T. Souter, who had his law office
in the courthouse, lost everything
there, including his la library, type
writer and all office furniture.
Fires Origin a Mystery.
In Preston, opinion differs as to the
origin of the fire. Not a few citizens
believe the building was set fire while
others hold to the accidental" theory.
There could have been no incentive f..
burning the building, it is said, as no
criminal case, the trial of which was Of
Importance, was upon the docket. Pres
ton has no adequate fire protection, and
it was fortunate that the flames did
not leap across the street to the row
of stores and the hotel, which are up
on the south side of the public square,
The courthouse was built in 1855 an /
has weathered the storms of Sky
years. There was $4,000 insurance
upon the historic old building.
Judge q. A. Littlejohn and Solicitor
General j. R. Williams went to Pres
ton yesterday to confer with citizens
relative to the Superior court session,
which was to have convened next Mo l.
day. In view of the loss of records,
minutes of the court, etc., is hardly
probable that session can be held,
though official announcement regard
ing the convening of the grand jury
and formal postponement Of the term
will be made later.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-(Special) y
Violent attacks are being delivered by
the Germans against the tiles lines
between the districts of the Aisne and
the Argonne, says the official French
statement issued at Paris this after
noon.
Thus far, according to the state
ment, these onslaughts have been re-
pulsed. The official announcement IS
brief, the French war office contenting
itself with the added remark that there
is nothing new otherwise in the gen
eral situation.
Germany is prepared to finance a
long war. That assertion is made in q
dispatch from Berlin which passed the
hands of the British censor at London.
The war loan has proved a success,
and with the various resources from
which the government can derive the
war revenue, it will be possible for
Germany to continue the struggle for
year with the money now in sight.
A dispatch from Rome says that
o0O mn +rooDc bova haan aceeoob1nd At
Pola, the great naval port of Austria,
and that thorough preparations have
been made against an attack by sea.
The hour for the battle which will
determine whether the Russians will
make their proposed invasion of Get-
many with Berlin as the final objecti
appears to be drawing near.
Official and unofficial advice indicate
a struggle in Russian Poland rivaling
the desperation and possibly in the
numbers engaged, the battles of the
Marne and Aisne. The main body C
the Russians is moving toward the Po-
sen frontier. On it's right another ar
my is supposed to be attempting 20
protect the larger body by stemmiEg
the rush southwark Of the German
force that drove the Russian invaders
from east Prussia and now seeks 10
halt the westward movement.
At the same time the Russian army
in Galicia is pushing its successes
against the Austrians and moving
westward with the expectation of
meeting the combined Austrian and
German forces concentrating at Cra-
COW, on the Galician frontier in a bat
tie that if successful will complete
their campaign in Galicia. The Ger
mans are reported in strong force on
the line from Kalisz to Cracow, where
they are said to be we'll entrenchei
There is every reason to believe that
the real test of the Russian aggressive
strength will not long be delayed
Again today the report that tha
Russians have crossed the Carpathia1
range and entered Hungary, capturing
Uzsook, has reached here. Uzsook lies
in a line extending from Lemberg, the
capital of Galicia southwest to Buda-
nest There is nothing to indicate that
the Russian diversion into Hungary
is any very important factor in their
general strategy. Earlier reports that
the Russians in Ga1icia had occupied
a part of Przemysl on their march 20
Crasow have not been confirmed.
In the far east the Japanese-B British
attack on. Kiao-Chow, the German
leased possession in China, moves
slowly. A battle between land forces
has been fought on the outskirts OF
Using Tau, the seat of government Of

General Vests enemies are ndustriously crcu-
laing the statement that he is the Standard Oil can
ddate for Governor yet he made the Standard Oil
Company stop cutting the price of oil and is forcing
them to become carriers only, and to stop producing
oil, which will put them on basis like railroads.
where they have to fix rates and carry oil for any
body. He has consistently fought the Standard Oil
monopoly ever since he has been Attorney General,
has forced them to make uniform prices for the pur
chase of crude oil, and uniform prices for the sale
of oil to the consumers so that the independent oil
refineries could have chance for existence.
representative of the Standard Oil Company stated
in the lobby of the Lee -Huckins Hotel, Saturday
evening" July 49, 1914 that if Charles West was NOM
mated for Governor on the Democratic ticket, that
the Republicans would have more money in this
falls campaign than they ever had. These things
show the absolute untruthfuness of the charge that
he is the Standard Oil candidate, and prove that he
is the Peoples candidate.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-07-30

Those who favor a moral and economic govern
ment should vote for Charles West and for his five
amendments to the Constitution which embOdy the
result of his experience and are the platform of his
campaign. Those amendments, if adopted, will re-
duce the state tax from Y to 2 mills and will raise
the tax on oil from of per cent to per cent; will
reduce the size and expense of the legislature the
size and expense of the Supreme Court, and compel
it to act upon questions presented to it, and the last
amendment will make drunkenness ground for re-
movaI from office.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-07-30

We expect every corporation in the state who
works large numbers of men, and who is liable to
personal injury suits, like railroads, telegraph and
telephone and mining companies, to fight Charles
Vests amendment to the Constitution which
pels decision by the Supreme Court within six
months, because that amendment will deprive them
of the chance to starve out parties whom they Grip
pie, and widows and orphans whose husbands and
fathers they have killed. But we expect the people
who want fair play and who want the poor man to
have the same rights before the courts the rich
corporations to vote for this amendment and for
Charles West for Governor.
We expect the liquor interests, bootleggers and
gamblers to fight Charles West, because he has
stanty prosecuted them for their violations of the
law but we expect the decent people and those who
favor the enforcement of our laws, and moral,
economic government, to support him for the same
reason that the booteggers and gamblers fight him.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-07-30

There are great many people in this state who
believe in the full enforcement of our prohibition and
anti-gambling laws. Charles West should have the
support of every of those for the reason that he
is out and out for prohibition while one candidate
is outspOken for resubmsson, and another who con-
ceas the fact in his PLATFORM stated privately that
when he became Governor he would see to it that the
prohibition question would be submitted in such a
form that would carry; that he had contempt for
prohibition and prohibitiOnists.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-07-30

In the first campaign Chas. West made in Okla
homa, he received $4,000 votes and was nominated
In his second race for the same office he received
10000 votes and was again nominated.
The referendum petitions circulated by Charles
West which included statute for the impeachment
of the drunken public office holder, received 41OOO
signatures.
These petitions are his platform. They have re-
ceived the endorsement of sufficient number of
voters to control the democratic primary August A.
An increased vote every time he has been endors-
ed by the people. You can't get away from it-he has
the votes.
How do the other candidates expect to defeat
West in the face of these facts?
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-07-30

We expect every newspaper in the state which
carries railroad advertisements and Standard Oil
advertisements as among it's sources of revenue to
roads and the Standard Oil Company have good rea-
son to oppose him. AS Attorney General he made
the Standard Oil Company and the railroads know
.nd obev the law. and they know that he will do the
same as Governor, hence, they oppose him. and COM
mel their subsidized newspapers to do the same.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-07-30

The railroads are fighting Charles West for Gov
ernOr for two reasons first because he has already
forced them to twO-cent fare and second, because
his amendment to the Constitution compelling the
Supreme Court to act within six months would de-
prve the railroads of their chance to starve out and
compromise out for next to nothing claims of wild
Ows and orphans and cripples whom they have
wrOnged.
