STONE VICTOR IN
SAPULPA ELECTION
Defeats Third Term Candi-
date by Majority OF
Thirty Votes.
POLL RECORD VOTE
w. s. Brown and Dan Me-
Masters Are Winners in
Commissioners Fight.

Special to The World.
SAPULPA, Okla. April An the
most bitterly contested election ever
held here w. u. Stone was elected
mayor by majority estimated at
about thirty votes over S. j. Smith.
who was candidate for the office
for the third consecutive time. Late
tonight Stone was leading with but
one precinct yet to report but even
Smith supporters conceded his cleo
tion as the report is expected 10
strengthen his lead.
w. s. Browns ma jority over Vance
Likely for commissioner Of public
safely Is estimated at fifty while Dan
McMasters was returned an easy vic
tor over Carl Hughes, his ma jority
being placed at 160. More than fif-
teen hundred votes were cast making
it the heaviest vote ever cast here.
Spring q Surprise.
One Of the odd turns was the sur
prise in precinct No. where the
Smith faction looked for its heaviest
support. The negroes failed to show
their expected strength, however, and
Stone more than held his own.
1t is estimated that six hundred
women voted in the school board cleo
ton but no report had been made re-
gardng the results up to a late hour.
For weeks the newspapers have en-
gagged in mud singing contests, mass
meetings have been held, charges and
counter charges were made and in
tense interest was manifested all dur
ing the day. Not voter was allowed
to walk to the polls. There we're
carriages and automobiles for every
body and the campaign managers saw
that they were in motion every
minute.
Got Out the Votes.
Every vote possible was registered
and only those who were confined 10
their beds or had neglected to register
failed to go to the polls.
There was little trouble during the
day. A few fights resulted between
partisans but so far as is known there
were no Irregularities at the voting
places Large rewards were offered
for the arrests of any and all law
violators and the election proved To be
quiet.

\ Cruel Blow.

Monday morning. upon entering the
office. another poem on Oklahoma
was turned over 10 the Man About
Town. with orders to do anything he
Thought best with il. Then the SAME
evening a good friend handed us a
poem for criticism, which he had
written. Neither was ready for cold
type, and yet both OF them have very
evident worth. The trouble with the
second poem was that it began with a
stately cadence and genuine dignity,
and then degenerated into sort or
ouickstep. which was anti-cllmactic.
When attention was called To this
fact, the author defended himself
upon the ground that he had right
to substitute spondees for dactyls, or
something like that. de was rather
suddenly informed that he had used
poor judgment in exercising his Cod
given right, and soon he himself
agreed that he had cheapened his
product Just for the sake OF I'm

THE WAR AT A
GLANCE

An attempt by the Germans to press
further south against the French in
the region Of Douaumont, northeast
Of Verdun. has met with repulse and
considerable losses In the same sec
tor north Of the Cailette wood the
French have continued their progress
in driving hack the Teutons.
The German attacks south Of Dou-
aumont were launched against the
French first lines OF defense, but the
French raked the advancing Teutons
with their curtain Of fire, machine
guns and infantry fire. forcing them
to retreat in disorder northwest
toward the Chauffor wood
An attack by the Germans on the
town Of Haucourt. northwest Of Yer
dun, also failed. as likewise did an
attempt to reach the French trenches
near Seppois in the Nosges mountains.
Elsewhere along the western front
there have only been reciprocal bonn
bardments and some mining activity
on the line held by the British.
Austrians Grim.
On the Russian front the artillery
activity Of the Russians in the Lake
region southeast of Dvinsk has in
creased, but in general no important
changes in the positions of the Rus
slams and Germans have taken place.
The Austrians have occupied the
! border ridge between Labbialta and
Monte Fumo. which was held by the
Italians. Artillery duels are still In
progress on the Doberdo sector Of the
/ Col hi Lana and in Guidicarian Alps.
Another Zeppelin air raid was made
on England Monday night. the fourth

| Notifications near Yarmouth were at

asserts that no casualties resulted and
that no damage was done.

chancellor of the exchequer estimated
the direct war expenditure Of Great
Britain for the present year at f1,-
| 500, 900 600 the total expenditure
amounting to about f5.000,000 daily
He provided for new taxation amount
ing to about $4,000, 900 annually, and
declared that the government was
raising over $500, 100000 a year by
the taxation imposed since the begin
ming Of the war.
Great Britain declined to release
thirty eight Germans, Austrians and
Turks removed by British warships
from the American steamer China, off
the Chinese coast. The right of the
British government to seize subjects
Of enemy countries returning home tC
take part in the war is said to be
insisted on in the British note handed
to the state department. The Ameri-
can government Is expected to dis
pute this contention.
