Hints to Voters for Election Day

The cOncensus of opinion of COM
mitteemen and county chairmen at
tending the state committee meeting
at Oklahoma City Saturday was that
never did the people of Oklahoma
have better chance to redeem the
state from the pernicious Tammany
machine rule that il has been ex-
plotted by since statehood. Reports
from the different counties made it
conclusive that republicans, If the
full vote can be gotten out, will car
ry the state
Much stress was laid on the neces-
sity of watching the count, and on
early voting to forestall the favorite
maneuver of the machine of creating
ball6t shortages for the purpose of
disfranchising republican and anti
machine democrats.
Particular attention was called
to the Importance of every voter re-
alizing and remembering the fact
that theballots on the Fair Election
Law and the repeal of the Universal
Registration Law must this year be
marked with a rubber stamp, NOT
with pencil, as in the previous cleo
tion on the llteracy test.
To adopt the Fair Election Law,
and 10 vote for the repeal of the Uni
versal Registration Law, "Yes"
should be voted on both questions.
The ballot must be marked with the
rubber stamp, or the vote will not be
counted. Under the law, registered
voter who fails to vote on the two
questions will be counted as voting
AGAINST those questions.
In the discussion at the committee
meeting attention was also called to
the fact that names of the president
and vice president do not appear on
the ballot, but that the vote is cast
i'm reality for the respective presi-
dental electors. However to enable
the voter to recognize his national
party at a glance emblems are placed
at the head of the ticket, as follows:
An eagle over the republican national
ticket, a rooster over the democratic
ticket; an extended hand over the
socialist ticket; a dove over the pro-
hibition ticket A cross, made with a
rubber stamp, in the circle under the
emblem counts as a vote for the en-
tire ticket of that party, for instance
where a man stamps in the circle of
the eagle II is vote for the. whole
republican state and national ticket.
We wonder II voters realize what
it will mean If the Universal Regis
tration Law is not defeated. II
means just this--IF YOU DID NOT
REGISTER IN TIME YOU ARE
FOREVER DISFRANCHISED. How
do YOU like the idea? II you do not
favor such a rank attempt on the
part OF the democratic machine to
disfranchise a large number Of the
legal qualified voters be sure that
you vote "Yes" 10 repeal the Regis
tration Law.

G. T. Ayers, the present incum-
bent and candidate for reelection for
a second term as county superintend-
ent, is worthy of consideration and
deserves second term. He has
served the county well the past two
years and there is every reason why
he should be reelected and no good
reason why he should not have the
Office another term.
He is thoroughly capable and a
man of mature enough years to use
good judgment and great care in the
discharge of the duties of so import
ant an Office. Too much care cannot
be exercised when il comes to the
management of our school system
and a man who has made school
work life study is the man who
should be placed at the head of our
public schools. Mr.. Ayers is that
sort of a man. He has spent years
in preparation and gained valuable
knowledge by actual experience-the
greatest of all teachers.
We believe that Mr.. Ayers has con-
Quoted his Office the past term in a
manner worthy of reelection and
that the voters, regardless of poll
tics. will return him to that office
November 9TH by a substantial ma
jority.

GARDNER FOR SURVEYOR

the county as its surveyor from 1910

Committee before the primary, he

is the way some men want to run the
county business which is the biggest

county. Mr.. Voter, do you consider It

years at the county's expense, and
then kick him out just for political
purposes, and train another 'man2 /
