OUTF0R MAYOR
Of ARDM0RE
YOUNG MAN WITH BRAIN POWER
OF AN ELECTRIC DYNAMO
WOULD MAKE ARDMORE CEN
TER OF ACTIVITY.

| l.. V. Mullen makes public his an
nouncement this morning as a candi-
date for mayor of this city.
His early announcement is in keep
ing with the energy and determina-
ton of the man. No grass will grow
under his feet from now until the
primary is held 1t is useless to re.
mark that his announcement is sub
riect to the choice of the democratic
voters. for the reason that Mr.. Null
len has been an active worker in
that party since he cast his first vote,
He moved TO this city with his par
ents in early boyhood. He has grown
to manhood here. His virtues and
also his shortcomings. if he possess
es the latter, are known to almost
every voter in the city. He has
spent his money to help his friends,
he has spent his time and money
in city, county and state to assist
the democratic party. and this is
the first time Mr. Mullen has asked
anything for himself
The statement can be made that
Ardmore does not possess another
citizen who possesses quite so much
of the virtue of industry. He is full
of life, vim, vigor vitality and,
coupled with these virtues, is meas
ure of good, practical business judg |
ment and good common horse sense.
If he is elected mayor of Ardmore
there will be some ginger put into
the administration, there will be |
some life put into the town, he |
will put Ardmore on the map as the
busiest town in the busy state of
Oklahoma.
Responsibility brings with it pains
taking work, caution, a determina
ton to do something, and RESPONSE
bility with a brain as active as a
dynamo. will accomplish many good
things.
Mr.. Mullen's friends will be glad
he is in the race, and will be very
active for his success.

Naco, Ari2., Dec 19.--Sniping has
been resumed by both sides on the
Mexican battle line, and imminent
danger exists of the cruX being
reached in the crisis which has been
threatening here for a month. May

was possible, without any danger of
firing into the United States. Many
bullets struck on the American side
today, and one buried itself in a pile
of baled hay which was guarding
the school house.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES
Have BE- ENNADE

Devils Lake, N. D., June 10. - A
sensation has been caused in north
central North Dakota as a result of
the publication in a Devils Lake week.
ly newspaper of the direct charge Of
AISLE J.. Gronna of Lakota. That a
total of $4,744.67 was paid to people
Of Lakota, as employees of the govern
ment as messengers, skilled laborers,
and riding pages, without them ever
turning their hand over, except to sign
vouchers, none Of them ever going to
Washington, is the allegation.
One of the favored parties, Atty. S..
G.. S~kulason, served as states attorney
Of Nelson county, enforcing the laws
of North Dakota while on the govern
ment payroll as various committee
clerks.
1t is charged that A. C .Metcalf and
T. E. MetCalf, Lakota newspaper men,
received several thousand dollars in
salary without ever being in Washing
ton during the time for which they
were paid.
Coming as it does before the primary
June "a, at which Gronna seeks re-
nomination, the charges will doubtless
cut a figure in the remainder of the
campaign, which from the senatorial
standpoint is becoming very hot, with
Atty. Gen. Andrew Miller, Pres. J.. H.
Worst and Senator Gronna each in the
race to win.
The local newspaper charge has
aroused so much feeling that Gronna
answer is eagerly waited.
