BILL WILL GIVE
COTTON MILLS
REAL CHANCE
BILL PROVIDES FOR EXEMPTION
FROM TAXATION FOR A PERIOD
OF TEN YEARS ALL COTTON
MILLS LOCATING IN STATE.

A letter from Representative Kelly
Brown received yesterday states that
the bill introduced by him in the
house, eXempting cotton factories To-
eating in the state from taxation for
period of ten years, had passed
the senate, and he was confident that
the governor would sign the same,
and it would become law.
Senator Tucker took charge of the
bill in the senate and advocated its
passage in order to encourage the de
velopment of the cotton industry in
the state. There has been consider
able talk in the past of locating a
cotton mill in this city, but the plans
always fell through from one cause or
another The question of taxes has
always been a mooted question with
eastern capital when it came to To-
eating in Oklahoma, but with this
law on the statute books it is be-
lieved the next two years will see
many factories located close to the
cotton fields, and instead of shipping
the cotton east, a large part of the
output of the state will be manufac-
tured at home.

v. R. ROBERTS
ISSUES HIS
STATEMENT
ALL THIS RUMOR OF A CONTEST
WAS "HOT AIR." AS THIS
STATEMENT FROM THE MAYOR
WILL SHOW

Since the election there has been
a rumor that Mayor Roberts was GO
ing to contest the election of Mr..
Mullen to succeed him. Mr.. Roberts
never said so himself, but some of
his friends have been persistent in
their statements that he would do so.
The following statement completely
disproves the rumor The statement
follows:
March 90, 1915.
"To the Citizens Of Ardmore:
Il take this means of expressing my
appreciation of the efforts of the
voters and my friends to renominate
me for the position OF mayor in the
primary last Tuesday. That the votes
showed my worthy opponent to be
the nominee, is no fault of my own
supporters, but shows the magnifi-
cent organization of Mr.. Mullen's
forces and workers.
"dul W ~ VII ltNOlu 40 b'AhS
second to none in my loyal support Of
the administration that succeeds mine
and Mr. Mullen will have no one
who will work for the full success OF
his efforts TO place Ardmore on the
map more than will |.
Here's hoping that we will see a
greater Ardmore. with coming pros
perity all around.
Again thanking my friends and
fellow citizens for the privilege have
had in serving their interests in the
past two years, and wishing for the
city the most bountiful future, am,
Respectfully,
"W. r. ROBERTS"

Guy p. Cobb is at home from Mus

ton of the past week in the interest of
defendants in government land suits.
The government sent out notices to
large number of defendants advis-
them that judgments would be taken
and costs assessed unless appropriate
action was taken within ten days from
service of the notice. Just what was
meant by appropriate action, was diff
ferent in each case. Some defendants
in these suits are declaiming and in
such cases they lose all they have
paid the Indians on the lands. In one
instance a defendant disclaimed in
eighteen different cases.

TOLSON'S WITHDRAWAL

The election returns, taken on their
face, do an injustice to S. S. Tolson.
The returns show him to have receiv-
ed but a few votes and this is true.
The small vote is due to the fact that
he withdrew from the race before the
polls were opened, and voters were
notified of the withdrawal when bal
lots were passed out The few votes
he received We're purely compliment
tary; they were from his close friends
who have formed a good habit and
refuse to break away from IT, Mr.. Toll
son has always been a favorite with
Ardmore people in elections and In
the campaign two years ago, he lacked
nomination by the narrow margin of
nine votes. Owing to the strong line
up of the candidates Mullen and Rob
erts. it looked very dangerous for a
third party to break through. This
was realized by Mr. Tolson and his
friends Monday night. He did not
withdraw in favor of any candidate
and made no effort to influence any
votes for anyone or against anyone.
