should receive such an unanimous

II is evident that the various ele-

the democratic party in this state,
have determined upon an active cam
paign in supreme effort to wrest
the government from the party that
has made Oklahoma the marvel Of

those who are not only untried in gov

Probably the most enthusiastic Re-
publican rally ever held5in Devils Lake
took place at the Grand Opera house
Monday evening. Many weeks ago
the Republican leaders Of the city Sc
cured the opera house and the local
band for a rousing meeting before ell.
ection and later on a handful of Burke
Democrats thought it would be q
splendid opportunity to demonstrate
the ability Of Mr.. Burke to secure a
crowd. at the expense Of the Republic
cans and rented the basement Of the
opera house, and sent for an outside
band, and advertised their meeting.
Well on the evening Of the meetings
the crowd began to come and before
very long it was very evident that the
crowd were bent on hearing Messrs
|Cowan, Cuthbert and Traynor and
about ten went to the main part Of the
opera house to every n that sought
the Burke headquarters. Before the
Republican meeting opened the opera
house was packed to its capacity,
standing room being at a premium.
The basement had been arranged with
',seattng capacity for only 200, and evi-
IDENTIFY they had plenty Of seats to
spare. The Republican speakers we.e
at their best and they held the closest
attention Of their audience until about
11:30,.and from the time the speaking
began until it closed half dozen peg
pie did not leave the room. It was a
Frousing meeting and the speakers
made talks which demonstrated that
Devils Lake has speakers equal to any
in the state.

GET EXAMINED

One. Of U leading life insurance
companies has adopted the rule that
their policy holders are entitled to a
free medical examination once q year.
In summarizing the results of four
years trial they say Probably the
most significant revelation was the.
fact that of the number impaired, Al
per cent unaware Of the impair
n1ent, the strongest possible argument
for the system Of examinations. Why
cannot a nj in the ordinary manage
ment Of his own personal affairs adopt
the method that business" has found
80 serviceabIe in controlling life
waste? It is certainly good business
to do So. and the plan should appeal
to every right thinking Individual.
When we begin to realize what it
means to have u ailments diagnosed
an their incipiency the custom 81 per-
iodic medical examinations will be
more general than they are at present.
Il it is "money in pocket" Of organic
ed capital to insist on it being done
ar1ong their policy holders or employ
ees it is surely worth while for you.
We r learning much from corpora
lions, and one Of the greatest lessons
we have been taught is that good
health and efficiency go hand in hand.
Let us profit by their experience and
introduce into our lives these methods
that have been found to be Of service
in warding off impending ills. Get

1t is generally conceded that Alex

ham, Ala, are the real competitors
for the government armor plant plum,
with indications decidedly in favor
of the first-named city.
Our people are offering two sites,
the first being Battery Rodgers cove
reclaimed. and Jones's Point tract.
NJ. B. Harlow, always in the fore
front of movements for the enhanc-
ing the commercial interests of his
city, has been instructed by the
owners tc offer New Alexandria to
the government in case the land IN
the city proper should not be consi-

This tract embraces one hundred &C
acres on the Potomac river and Hunt

A SUGGESTION.

Tonight is the last time the choir
which has done such splendid work
during the evangelistic services, will
meet together unless a permanent
organization is formed.
In other cities a community chorus
has proved a delight to the members
as well as the public at large. Why
not get together in Alexandria and
keep the good work going?
The music at the evangelistic SER
vices has been an inspiring feature
and has, without doubt, been the cause
of much pleasure to those who have
attended regularly and joined in the
singing.
Professor Cole, was loud in his
praises of the choir. Naturally, he
would be greatly missed as leader
and an accompanist to equal Miss
Hoagland. would be hard to find, yet
as long as we can oe Aoi ui'o'e
enough to have these accomplished
musicians with US, why not begin
wor;, on the foundations which have
been laid and build thereon chorus
choir. which shall continue to be an
organization for which Alexandria
shall be proud.
AS tonight will offer the last op-
portunity to reach the members as a
BODY, we suggest that it be taken
advantage of and plans for per-
manent chorus be discussed, as was
suggested by the Gazette on Friday.

Pay Night.

Saturday night was "pay night
at the evangelistic service, as Rev.
Smith termed it, at which time gifts
were presented as follows:
The Boy Scouts started the ball
rolling, so to speak, by presenting
Rev Smith with handsome scarf
pin; copy of the Boy Scouts edition
of the New Testament to Prof Cole,
and lovely boquet of roses to Miss
Hoagland.
; Mr.. Geo. B. Kennedy, who had
been instrumental in getting up the
choir previous to the opening of the
campaign, took occasion to express
his thanks for the efficient manner in
which they had performed their part
in the services, and called Rev. John
Lee Allison to the platform who made
the following presentations: Watch
fob, also a handsome silver engrav-
ed cheese and cracker set to Mr.. Cole
and his prospective bride, and a silver
engraved purse to Miss Hoagland.
All three gifts came from the mem
bers of the choir.
Rev. Smith then rendered his thanks
to the ministers who have stood by
him ca Faithfully also to the DhV-
sicians, nurses, ushers, firemen, police
men, and boy scouts. !.
He also took occasion to especially
commend and thank the Gazette for
the daily reports it has given of the
meetings throughout the campaign,
and as further token of his ap-
probation of the personal work of
the Editor, presented him with a
beautiful gold and pearl scarf pin.

New Alexandria was built in 1892 Of
fers some advantages While the land
on the river and creek is low, that
southwest is on hills and would make
desirable sites, for dwellings. Should
New Alexandria site be selected, the
enterprise would be equally benetl-
cial to Old Alexandria.
Twenty-four years ago there were
manufactures in New Alexandria,
many men and women employed there
resided in this city.

wait until he and Captain Johnson,
with the assistance of both lieuten-
ants and quartermaster sergeant
Brawner and Mess Sergeant Brown,
could sort out the presents and de-
eide how much each man could have.
Four sacks. of smoking tobacco,
with cigarette papers for "maklns'
or a briar pipe for those who pre-
ferred it, were handed to each man,
with two packages of candy and one
of chewing gum. That didn't nearly
exhaust the supply though, 50 at
supper time, each man got another
sack of tobacco and another share OF
candy and gum, and then there was
some left over for desert at supper
tonight. Four boxes of loose candy,
that were included in the present,
were shared with the three other COM
panies in the Observation-Disclosures
vile, Lynchburg and Covington.
The pipes proved very popular.
Fellows that had not smoked any
thing but cigarettes since they left
Alexandria drew pipes, and lit up
before they were out Of the kitchen.
When retreat sounded after sup
per each man fell in line with pipe
in his mouth and smoke rolling from
it, even down to the first sergeant.
And they have been putting at them
pretty steadily ever since.
The cards were just about as well
come as the smokes and candy. From
seven-up and solitaire, clean down
the line to the great American game
of poker. card-playing is a favorite
sport all over the camp of the first
regiment. Cards brought down from
home, and most of those that have
been bought or acquired since. are
worn to tatters. The two fresh packs
that each squad now has to play with,
will meet the same fate. But whole
lot of fun for homesick militiamen
will be got out Of the present first.
And as for the dominoes? This is
how they are being enjoyed already:
Captain Johnson unselffshlX insist
ed that the sets be distributed among
his men, set to squad. And there
were just enough sets to go around.

men call him, when his back is turn

Especial to ths Gazettel

Brownsville, Texas, Sept. 26. =
Five sacks around of ''makin's" with
a briar pipe for every man that
smokes his that way, was drawn down
, Yesterday as tobacco ration by each
member of the Alexandria Light In
fantry, thanks to the thoughtfulness
J of their hometown chapter Of the
American Red Cross.
With the tobacco came four pack
ages of candy and two Of chewing
gum for each man. And every squad
tent got a set of dominoes and two
packs of playing cards.
The gift to the company came at
time in the month when it can be
appreciated the most just before
pay day. The average private's flf-
teen dollars month disappeared
long ago, across the store counters
! in Brownsville, and in other direc--
tions that he has found to scatter it..
The present means smoking mater
! ial that will last until over next pay
day. and a day or so of high living on
goodies. The chewing gum, too, is
more acceptable than some people
who have never been in an army
training camp might think. 1t is q
very practical substitute for water,
in a country where water is hard to
get and harder still to carry along in
satisfying quantities on the cross
country marches that are a weekly
feature of the guardsmen's training.
A wad of chewing gum somehow
keeps your mouth moist on the driest
days and the dustiest roads, long at
Ter the quart of water that your
canteen holds has been all drunk up.
Yesterday was big day all round
somehow. for the Light Infantry. It
started off with target-practise on
miniature ranges all the morning
That is not one of the lightest duties
the men have, but it is one that they
enjoy the most-showing their skill
at the targets. The company made
an excellent showing on the range.
It's ten best men scored 233 out of q
possible $50, which placed Company
G. high up on the list of company
results for the regiment.
With their whole morning devoted
to target-shooting, and their after
! noon drill period cut in two by a
sand-storm, which made the drill
ground inhabitable, the men were in
high spirits as they came singing
back to quarters at 5 o'clock. They
had heard in the morning that the
box from the home folks had arrived.
and began clamoring around the chow
tent with mock threats of 1--WE want
our smokes!"
They were lined up by First Ser
geant Deahl outside the kitchen, to
