CONGRESSMAN
CARTER MAKES
GOOD SPEECH
URGED PARTY LOYALTY AND IN
SISTED THAT PRIMARIES IN
THE FUTURE BE HELD FOR
DEMOCRATS ONLY.

Urging party loyalty at the polls
and insisting that democratic pri
maries in the future be held by dem
ocrats only, Hon. Charles d. Carter
addressed a large audience at the
court house lawn last night, and his
remarks were met with hearty ap-
proval by all present
Mr.. Carter stated during the couse
of his remarks, that Ardmore is hav-
ing her biennial political storm wave
which has preceded elections here in
recent years, and intimated that the
so-called moral wave was put in mo-
tion more for political purposes than
anything else.
Mr.. Carter stated that Ardmore was
no better and no worse than thous-
ands of towns of like magnitude and
urged the good citizens, who claim
that the present officers will not en-
force the law, to furnish them with
the information, if they possess any,
and give the officers their moral sup
port, instead of heaping abuse upon
them, and the laws would be en-
forced as rigidly as lay within nu-
man possibilities.
Mr.. Carter paid a tribute to the
present mayor, w. R. Roberts, and
said from close observation he was
convinced that the affairs of the city
were now and had been conducted
fairly, impartially and honestly.
Mr.. Carter discussed the criticism
being heaped upon d. F.. Booker, the
present chief of police by a few
persons who claim that he will not
enforce certain laws. To this class
Mr.. Carter gave some wholesome ad-
vice, and admonished them that if
they knew what they profess to, why
was it that they failed upon every
occasion to come to the officers and
give this information. He said he
had known Dave Booker ever since
he could remember, and had yet to
hear the first person. with the ex-
ception of a few personal enemies
state that he was not a good officer
and that he would do his duty as
he saw it, regardless of consequences.
In closing his remarks, Mr.. Carter
urged every man who went into the
primary to go to the polls today and
cast their ballots for the regular nom
inees and not to be led astray by
promises of the republican nominee
for mayor on the one hand, and the
candidate for chief of police, who
registered as an Independent, there
fore owing ale glance to no party.
Several other speakers were tohave
taken part in the meeting, but, owing
to the fact that the weather was
quite chilly, it was thought best to
dismiss the audience at the conclus-
ion of Mr.. Carter's address.
F. X. West, who was one OF the
defeated candidates in the primary.
acted as master of ceremonies, and
in presenting Mr.. Carter urged that
party loyalty be maintained at the
polls today.

LABOR CONSPIRACY

Chicago Contracting Firms and Union

Grand Jury

tives Of machinery and building ma

Conn, and Jersey City. n. j.. it was
said today would be government wit
nesses when the eighty-two Chicago
contracting firms and eighteen bust
ness agents and other officials OF I'M
ion labor indicted by the federal
grand jury yesterday go to trial. The
indicted men, many Of them national
ly prominent as large employers of
labor and in union labor circles. are
charged with conspiracy in restraint
OF interstate commerce, fixing OF
prices, restraining OF outside compe-
tition, and combinations and contracts
which had for their purpose, interior
once with interstate commerce.
The indictments are said to be the
first of their kind ever returned un-
der the antitrust law. They charge
beside the alleged acts mentioned,
that big local contractors conspired
with local labor agents to prevent
builders, contractors and construc-
ton companies of other cities from
doing work here. In connection with
this phase of the case, It was thought
probable today that District Attorney
Clyne would call as witnesses large
contractors from a dozen cities in an
effort to prove that outsiders were
driven away from jobs in Chicago.
Briefly, the government charges that
contractors indicted, had an agree
ment with labor agents to call strikes
or refuse to permit union teamsters
or movers to unload machinery or
building material brought into Chi
cago from outside cities; that local
building contractors conspired with
labor agents to have strikes called
on work being done by out Of town
contractors; local manufacturers or
contractors in the alleged combina-
ton, conspired with labor agents to
tie up work on buildings being built
with material that was not the out
put of the alleged combination mem
'bers.
Among the labor agents indicted
were Simon ODonnell, superintendent
Of the Building Trades Council, and
business agents Of nearly a score Of
unions.
