It is expected that they will cut this

Republican headquarters late yester-
day admitted the defeat of John

The vote on state questions account

the total vote to an extent that prac-

O|L|NTERESTS
PROPOSE To
DIVIDE STATE
PLANS ARE BEING MATURED AT
TULSA TO PRESENT MATTER
TO PEOPLE FOR TWO STATES
AT GENERAL ELECTION.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. "a
movement to make two states of Ok
lahoma, dividing the present terri
tory by a line from east to west,
seems to be attracting some atten-
tion in the oil fields. The incentive
that seems to operate in this matter
is the unfavorable attitude of the
oil and gas interests toward some
of the legislation, especially in the
matter of taxing powers of the state,
that has been enacted and proposed
during recent years.
1t is reported from Tusla that
plans are being matured to present
the matter to the people of the state
for their action in the general cleo
ton The proposed line would pass
through the middle of the state in
an east and west course.

More Troops Against Allies.

London, Nov. 10-The Germans
have renewed their offensive in the
vicinity of Ypres and DiXmude where
several previous attempts to break
through the allies lines and gain the
coast of France have been repulsed
after the most severe fighting of the
war.
Despite the reverses which the Aus
tro-German armies have suffered in
the east, where the Russians have now
set their feet in German territory,
both in East Prussia and Posen, the
Germans are said to be still sending
reinforcements to the west in an en-
deayor to break down the resistance
of the French, British and Belgians,
who have been holding their positions
and have in places made small but
important advances.
There has, however, as yet been
no decisive action fought along the
whole front, but each side is making
gains which may count when the crisis
is at hand. With the tremendous for
ces opposing each other any progress
must necessarily'be slow in these days
of siege battles, but both the allies
and the Germans express satisfaction
with the way in which the battle has
gone thus far.
In the east, the Russian advance
guards are now fighting on both the
East Prussian and Posen borders, and
it is believed that the Germans have
given up their first plan of offering
resistance to the Russian advance on
the positions which they had prepared
along the Warthe river. According to
the German report the Russians have
suffered a reverse on the East Prus-
sian frontier, where they lost 1000
men and some machine guns, but of
the fighting elsewhere in this region,
Berlin says nothing.
There have been no developments
in the near east the engagements
fought being between Russian and
Turkish frontier guards in the eau
casus or in the bombardment of ports.
Up to the present Germany has been
fighting, generally speaking, in the
territory of her enemies. Now she
would appear to be more or less seri-
ously menaced from the east by the
armies OF Grand Duke Mich
olas. the advance guards of which are

A CLEAN TOWN,

Following up his announcement of
yesterday with reference to having
a general cleaning up of all premises

Mayor Roberts stated last night that
he had decided to ask the citizens
to aid the city officials clean up on
Monday, the 10th of November.

every citizen do what they can to
this end and the city teams and
men will assist them in any way
possible, All they have to do is
to call and state that they have a
load of stuff to haul away and We
will see that It is DONE. Very few
people in this city are aware of the
fact that Durant a few years ago
won the second prize in open com
petition with the whole of the Unit
ed States for having the most at
tractive front yards, but it is fact.
The competition was judged by pho
tographs sent to Washington and
the city to the east of us was sec
Ond best of all who competed.
Ardmore has an abundance of
flowers and some attractive front
yards, and it is suggested by the
mayor that the ladies reorganize the
Civic club formed some time ago and
see if Ardmore cannot get a whole
lot of good advertising abroad from
this source.

yellow fever, the war department at
that time being desirous of the ser

their age.
Without questioning Proutys We
racity, after the war was over his
friends asserted that the only fever
he ever had was the journalistic
fever" complicated with gypsy
heart and wanderlust He claimed to

Cooperation OF Manufacturers.
This brings to mind a matter that
is worthy of passing mentfon--the in
creasing cordially between the car
maker, dealer and owner. Few COM
panies but send one or of their
engineers to the shows to examine
other makers cars with a view Of get
ting ideas for the Improvement of
their own, and to talk with car n
and give any possible suggestions for
more economical n satisfactory run
| ming of the cars. Car builders are in
c~reasingly willing to hear about any
troubles that may come UP In opera
ton, and many of them have a direct
connection between the service and
, engineering departments. It
times happens that defects in a. car
will show up in private use that no
amount of abuse by the factory fes-
/ ters would bring to light.
| IF one knows what he wants to sec,
the best time to attend the show is
either early In the morning or during
| the dinner hours, saw from $3.50 or s
to s. At this time the building Is less
crowded, and it Is easy to examine
those features that attract the biggest
crowd during other parts Of the day.
This Is true of the accessory exhibits
as we'll as of the finished cars. Time
can proitably be spent at this season
in examination Of such accessories as
primers or similar devices for facili-
tating starting in cold weather.
We all laugh at the small boy who
accumulates a vast ar1nful of cata-
logues; but such descriptive matter is
OF value to one going to the show for
information. Perhaps there is some &C
Cessory that you intend to buy at a flu
ture date, or something you shall re-
commend to a friend. Or you may
want to read up ~so-and-so's racing
record, or his claims for his car. If
elimination the bull of it will not be
a nuisance; car makers issuing large
and expensive catalogues usually dis
tribute them enclosed i'll envelopes, and
Il number of small circulars can be
stuffed with them.
1t always takes longer for two to
sec the show than for one, 50 if the
time available Is limited it is best to
go alone.
Perhaps the best service we can rend-
I er to prospective show visitors will be
to outline some of the new and inter
esting things that will be seen at the
1911 shows.
