no My Democratic Friends Of Bryan
County.

wish to write you in regard to
the eIecaon that is now on hand. ]
will not have the time nor opportu-
nifty to see you personally, but I wish
to urge each and every friend l have
in this county and throughout the
state to be active in the interest OF
the Democratic ticket until the ell
ection is over. on November 3rd.
This is the time that every man
who cares for good government in
this state, and who wishes to uphold
the great National Government, now
headed by Woodrow Wilson, one Of
the greatest and purest men that has
ever been president OF the United
States, should be busily engaged in
urging every democrat to be or hand
next Tuesday and vote the Democrat
ic ticket which is headed by Bob VIII
liams for Governor. We cannot af-
ford to neglect this important duty
which we owe to the state Of Ok
lahoma. We cannot allow the gov
eminent Of this state to fall into the
hands Of the party that in the begin
ming was opposed to statehood. ana
who vigorously opposed the adoption
of the Constitution.
The Republican party. headed by
John Fields. vigorously opposed the
Jim Crow Law. They have fought
this measure in every court in our
country, even to the Supreme Court
of the United States.
Bob Williams. as governor, will
carry out each and every measure
outlined in his great speech to the
people of Oklahoma. What more dN
you want, and what more do you
need? urge my friends to como
out and vote for the man that has
never violated pledge that he has
made the people of Oklahoma in his
srving as member of the Constitu-
tional Convention and as Member Of
the Supreme Court.

cratic John that he is today.
AS an illustration of his aristocracy
I will tell you Of a little incident
that happened here. Fields. at the
time. was one Of the leaders OF the
society swells of saltwater. and in
fact, you might have called him di-

Of Jews and BARRIERS attending the
dances so got on his nerves that at
the next meeting of the society John
informed them that there would be
no more Jews and BARRIERS attending
their dances, and so far as am in
formed. he carried out the order to
the letter.

Request for Publication.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: / would
appreciate it greatly if you would
allow me enough space in your pa
per to ask Rev. Haywood, pastor OF
the Universalist church of this city,
if he will kindly publish in the col
umns of this paper the sermon he
delivered last Sunday morning on,
What is it to be Christian?"
Now if the reverend gentleman will
kindly consent to do this and the
editors will be gracious enough to
grant that much space for that pur-
pose, in my judgment it will be
greatly appreciated by the people of
Webster City as I consider it one of
the finest addresses l ever heard on
that subject. H. B. Hummel.
The Freeman-Tribune could hard
ly handle a complete sermon, but
would be glad to publish an epitome
of Rev. Haywood's address referred
to by Mr.. Hummel, provided it could
be boiled down to a column and a
half or whereabouts.

A Free Fight.

One of the many dramas in which
the Wrens took prominent part
was staged on Seneca street Sunday
night.
It develops that Irwin Wren from
Bancroft came down to invite his
father. Dan Wren, to go home with
him and spend the winter. During
the course of his visit at his fathers
rooms over the c. Wiese blacksmith
shop a quarrel ensued in which the
younger man struck his father and
battered him generally. George
Jones, a ditcher who was sleeping in
one of the Wren rooms, was awak-
|ened by the noise and attempted to
|arbitrate, with the result that Jones
was struck on the head with some
thing, which report says was a
hammer, requiring the attendance
of a physician who had to stitch up
the gashes in his head.
Jones was taken to the city jail
for the night and was removed yes.
terday forenoon by some of his
friends to the Park hotel, where he
now lies in a very serious condition
Dan Wren himself is not in pre-
sentable condition, but absolutely re-
fuses to prosecute his son, who is re-
sponsible for the trouble and has
threatened at times to kill his faith

A False Alarm.

The fire department was called to
the Soule corner on Des MONIES
street late Sunday afternoon but up
on arriving there found it was
false alarm. This has frequently
happened at this corner and some OF
the city officials think it is due to
q defective alarm box, that in some
manner the apparatus sets itself on.
No doubt measures will be taken
soon to either repair the old alarm
boxes or place new ones, as raise
alarm may be turned in some day IN
this manner when the department
should be taking care OF real hle
in another part of the city. Win
the expenditure Of many thousand
dollars for a new fire house the de-
partment think it would be wise for.
the city to buy some new equipment
so as to place the department on
basis where they could successfully
fight a bad fire which may happen
any time. With a fire in the busl-
ness part of the city the department
have stated many times that they
could not hope to successfully light
it only under the most favorable
conditions. If this be true it might
be we'll for the business men to look
into the matter through the agency

A Deer at Large.

A day or two ago Ed. Beightol, re-
siding on the Like farm just west
Of town, telephoned e. II. Martin
park commissioner, that a deer was
at his place and he wanted to know
if it had escaped from some of the
city parks. Yesterday Mrs. w. j.
Fairchild telephoned from their
farm to the same effect. The dee-
cannot be caught and cannot be kept
within any enclosure, as it readily
jumps over any fence. What to dc
about the animal is puzzle. 1t is
against the law to shoot it and it
would be shame to kill 1t even if
the law permitted. The animal is
evidently a stray. probably escaping
from some park.
