Martin w. Littieton.


There Is well established atock
story going the Tolnls of the press
that Martin w. !ittlelon, who hos
been retained by villa, the Mexican
reyolutionist, rs MS counsci, -
native of Texas, and every article m
nearing in print for the past ten
wears has been boosting him ms n
Lone Star product, when the fact OF
the matter Is, he comes as near being
n native SON of Texas Is villa hlln-
self. and not one bit nearer. Texas
is not to be blamed for claiming
Martin Littleton. He is worth claim
ing. but don't overlook the fact that
Martin Littleton was born at or near
I.ittleton, Franklin county, Tennessee,
and while II is admitted that he did
most of his work in Texas, yet he was
old enough when he emigrated TO
that state to WELD spiking hammer
during the day on the railroad, while
his nights were spent in the study of
law.
James Ilttleton, his brother, is still
n resident of Winchester, one of the
wealthost men in the middle section,

was the republican nominee for gov
ernor Of the Volunteer state. Give
Texas praise for developing Martin
Littleton if you wish, but also give
Tennessee praise for furnishing Tex

saw the property and the county com
missioners whose duties require them
to pass on these valuations.
He SAYS the commissioners had TO
cut off the annual appropriation Of
$500, allowed by law.
How could they cut an annual ap-
propriation when there never has been
one?
The truth Is, the people have to vote
on this levy for county fair before
any levy can be made. They have not
vet voted on II. In fact, have not had
the chance and he knew this when he
made the above statement.
In proof of this, see an article in
the Ardmoreite of June s, 1914, under
head line: Going to make an effort
for Fair"
For fear that some may not have
the issue of June the Sth, will quote
part of the article.
"Under the law the county commits
sioners, with the consent of the peo-
pie at general election, can author
ize a levy of not to exceed one-half of
one mill for county fair purposes"
Now compare this with the state
ment that the county commissioners
on account of the low valuation had
to cut off the annual appropriation.
There was absolutely nothing to cut
off for the simple reason the people
never have voted this levy nor have
they ever had a chance to vote on the
question. | have every reason to be
live that the one who wrote the ar
ticle in the issue of June S is the same
one who wrote the one in the issue OF
July 10.

no iustinable reason for collecting one

In conclusion | want to say, Mr.

should be given the same publicity

a West, not TO mention his associated
oil interest At least we are saus'
aed many are greasy, we don't know
whether with oil or taint with other
substances. We see politicians OF the
l. p Ross type llaying the Robber-
son end Of the situation.
Judge Williams is running on his
own record for the highest office in
Oklahoma, the governorship of the
state. The fact that he may not en-
dorso all prior administrations and
each and every act thereof does not
incapacitate him for the governor
ship. Mr.. Editor. He did not ask
permission of the powers which
are, and which once were, If he could
be governor. Instead of the granted
permission he submits himself, and
his record, as member of the DEM
ocratic party of The Indian Territory,
as one of the leaders of democracy in
the constitutional convention,' and as
Judge of our highest state court, TO
the people and ask their suffrage and
their vote.
Mr. Editor Judge Williams is not
running upon the record of Governor
Cruce, nor is he depending upon the
appointees of Gev Cruce for po!itl-
cal support, but he submits himself
and his record as a candidate for
Oklahoma's goyernorship,
Mr.. Editor, in your fancy can you
not see the racer coming home, while

WHO PINcHED HIS TAIL?

The reply Of Alser Melton, r. L. Will
liams' campaign manager, to the Ard
moreite's editorial Of Friday, which
was published Sunday morning, re
veaIs the cause Of the fight that Mr..
Williams is making on the democratic
administration Of this state. MIR. Melton
saws that a meeting was reported to
have been held in Mr.. Cruces home,
and il is reported that the cruee peo-
pie agreed to support an opposing can
didate TO Mr.. Williams. That portion
of the letter is interesting because It
was the Oklahoma City Times, a per-
sistent republican paper that publish
ed the report. Now what the demo-
cratic voters Of Oklahoma would like
TO know is this, II Bob Williams can
he induced while a candidate TO jump
into the face Of Lee Cruoe because
his tail was plnehed by a republican
paper. what would he do If he was
clothed with the power Of governor
and the pinch came from the same
source?
Col. Edgar Of the Times is repub
liean editor; he studies the game OF
spreading disafteetion among the demo
Gratis and the man who can be goaded
IN hesping abuse upon fellow
democrat, because he has been told to
do SO by a republican paper makes
very serious mistake and is guilty oi
a crime against his party and against
his friends,
Our information is that the meeting
which MIR. Williams manager refers
to. was attended by three persons, a
talk was had over the appointment OF
a man to minor office and following
that meeting Governor cruee made his
Yukon speech and did not in any man
ner Give his endorsement to any can
didate.- The appointees Of Governor
cruoe are not lined up for any one
candidate, some are for Williams ano
some are fer Robertson and some toI

Editorial in Fridays Paper.

Editor Ardmoreite:
We read will feeling of supreme
disgust, the latest editorial somer-
sault of The Ardmoreite, towit: An
article entitled: There is something
wrong with the man who is not IN
harmony with his own people
After watching the editorial col
umns of The Ardmoreite, we are at
loss to know VINO the "own people
of The Ardmorei.e happen to be, and
although we might try with sei5-
mograph. N-ray or barometer we
would be unable to locate their own
people" the morrow unless we hap
rencd to have divine" or at least

Many of our good citizens who are
floating the banner of r, l.. Williams,
remember r.. l.. Williams in the far-
distant political intrigues of the In
dian Territory fighting shouder'to-
shoulder with a former citizen al
Ardmore. A. j. Wolyerton, in the
famous Markham Wolverton fight
staged in Ardmore. If his former
friends and associates in that hSlt
are The Ardmoyo!te's Gown people
then We feel sure that the editorial
policy of The Ardmorite, to say tle
least. speaks reasonable to us and
our sympathies.
The smile so well and aptly made,
he gets excited and champs the
bits" is easy TO understand in the
symbolical light of The Ardmoreite,
The editor in his fancy compares
Judge Williams with the thoroughbred
race standing alert, watchful to get
away ahead Of The field, and TO finish
with flying colors We appreciate
the fancy OF the editor. how much
letter to compare Judge Williams
with the racer; it is well that he did
SO. considering that he is to run
this race asains "Balaam's pet sad

out of the economic conditions Of our
state. We are sure that no mar
could endorse in toto the democratic
administration of Oklahoma-and
support all appointments.
We are confident that there are

Editor of the Ardmoreite.

Editor of the Ardmoreite,
DEAR SIR: Permit me to call your
attention to the statement, published
daily in your paper that ANY errone-
Gus reelection on the character stand
ing or reputation of any person which
may appear in the columns of the Ard
moreite will be gladly corrected when
brought to the attention of the man
aget,ent." Again permit me to call your
attention to the closing paragraph OF
nm article in the Sunday issue under
the heading of "New Officers to be
Chosen August the 4th." There Is
no possibility of having county fair
this fall in Carter county for the fact
| that the assessed valuation as returned
| bv the tax assessor was so low that
there will be nothing for some of the
departments to operate on, and for
that reason the county commissioners
had to cut OFF the annual appropriation
of five hundred dollars allowed by
law"
This is a reflection on the work OF
the assessors office. There is not syl-
liable of truth in the statement, and
| the writer of the article should have
| known it. when he made it,
In support of the above statements
allow me to submit the following fig
lures to the public.
The total valuation for the year 1918
as returned to the assessors office Was
SlO.O2l. 500. exclusive of public service
corporations, deduct from this $150OOO
rebates by the commissioners on er-
roneous assessments, and we have 49,.
S71. $50.
Returns for the year 1914, exclusive
of public service corporations, S1O,-
SOS. sos. an increase over 1913 of S79S,
sos. Add to this the assessed value of
the Oklahoma, New Mexico & Pacific
railroad. S256oOO, gives total in
crease over 1918, of S1,O49,S15. These
figures except the $256,OOO public ser
vice. are taken from the annual state
! ments to the state auditor for The
wears 1918 and 1914.
I Now / submit the following: II the
county was run on twelve million
valuation for 1913, which is true, why
is il that il cannot be run on thtr
teen million valuation for the yeaI
llql4c. The expenses are supposed tc
be less owing to the fact that some OF
. the county offices are to be consolidat
ed January l, 1915.
We have the folloging average
, prices for the year 1914: Horses, av
, erage value S56.61; mules, average
value $SOlS; cattle, average value
: $1,000: land, average value per acre

New Banking Hours.

The Board of Directors of The Thur
mont Bank and the Citizens Savings
Bank of this place, in order to give the
popular and efficient clerks in these insti-
tutions more time off on Saturday eve
nings, have decided to change banking
hours on Saturday evenings.
Beginning on Saturday evening, Octo-
Der oath, the Saturday evening hours at
each of the banks will be from until 8
o'clock. Heretofore the hours had been
from seven until about ten o'clock. At
ter interviewing many of their country
customers it was found that none of
them had any objections to the change,
many preferring the earlier hours.
The public will please remember this
change and go to the banks before at
tending to other business.

Hangs Himself In Attic.

James Lohr, aged rs, of Clearspring,
committed suicide October 9Th, by hang
ing himself. His body was found in the
attic at his home by his sister-in-law,
Miss Sallie Miller. Dependency due to
ill health is thought to have been the
cause of his act.
Lohr had been missed around the house
and search was instituted. A wound
on his left wrist was visible. 1t had
been inflicted by safety razor. The
wound alone would not have caused
death, in the opinion of DR.. J. P. Perry,
who examined the body.
His wife died some years ago. Two
children, Mrs. L. G. Young, of Roanoke,
Va, and Prof. j. Martin Lohr, of Ithaca,
N. Y, survive. Sun.

Son Kills Father.
Bullet From Rifle Enters Fore
head And Causes Death.

A very sad affair occurred at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Powell about
two miles south of Thurmont on Sunday
about the noon hour, when Mr.. Elmer
Hahn of near townsville, this county,
was accidentally shot and killed by his
eldest son Charles.
The Hahn family came to Mr.. Powell's
Sunday morning to visit, but found that
Mr.. and Mrs. Powell had gone to Fred
erick to visit a son now in the City Hos
pital. The family made themselves at
home and while Mrs. Hahn, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Powell, was preparing
dinner, the boy commenced handling
several guns which were standing in the
corner of room. Picking up a 22-calibre
rife, the lad pulled the trigger and in an
instant the ball from the cartridge in the
gun penetrated his fathers forehead.
The wife and children were as though
paralized for the time being, but re-
covering from the shock, they made Mr..
Hahn comfortable and ran for help.
DR.. M. A. Birely was called and ar
rived on the scene in short time. He
found the wound very serious and
made an effort to rush the victim to
Frederick City Hospital, but before ar
engagements could be made, Mr.. Hahn
died.
The deceased was about al years of
age, and was a son of Mr.. Ed. Hahn,
now residing in the vicinity of Rocky
Hill, this county. He is survived by his
wife, who was daughter of Mr. and
Mrs Geo. Powell, and four children.
The funeral took place Tuesday from
the Powell home near Jimtown, the serv-
ices being conducted by Rev. r. S. Pof-
finberger, of Woodsboro; Sharretts &
Powell of Woodsboro being funeral d.
rectOrs.
Mr.. E. E. Black, Justice of the Peace
of this place, acted as Coroner, and on
Monday visited the Powell home but
found conditions did not warrant an
inquest.
