Every Effort Made to Dis

Got Their "Cur Dog Boys
Registered at Any Cost
in Tulsa.

THE registration which closed las
L night proved even better than tn,
more sanguine Democrats had antici-
pated. Republicans and Socialists
fortified with triple strength stoicism
tried their best to overcome the odds
against them but hundreds OF legal
voters will be dstranchiscd by the
crooked tactics practiced by the party
whose watchword has been "for hu-
manity"
Two telephones in Republican head
quarters buzzed throughout the day
and invariably 1t was the same old
story: IL can't find my registrar"
In several precincts the books were
never so much as opened once during
the entire registration and not one
day passed that there were not several
changes made In the list OF deputy
registrars one deputy had charge OF
three precincts yesterday while seven
registrars were quartered in the court
house and closed the books last night
at O'Clock. The law requires them
to keep the books open until p. m.
There was not "A minute during tho
day that headquarters in the Robinson
Arcade was not filled with crowd
protesting against the unfair and
crooked methods being carried on TO
disfranchise honest voters.
Worked Early and Late.
On the other hand the Democrats
had workers out getting the names OF
those who had been overlooked so
that they could be registered before 1t
was too late. Only those known to
wallop the rooster and hit 'er hard
were appealed to by these workers.

Several registrars boastcd openly
that they had registered eight Demo-
Gratis to one Republican.
When asked last night for state
ment Chairman 4. a. Small of the
Republican county central committee
said: "Thc treatment received in this
registration by the Republicans at
the hands Of the Democrats was out

Among the Farmers

The ARGUS office was visited this week by several farmers who hauled their cotton to Brink ley gins for IS miles and more and as one of them, Bob Erwin, who lives 5 miles east of Hunter, said T got more than 19c for my cotton by selling it in Brink ley. That's the highest price 1 ever sold cotton for and Pm tell you too that if the Brinkley men who are responsible for us farm CTS being able to get such satis- factory prices this season, will

keep up their work, it will make a new town of Brinkley."
 For the benefit of those who have curiously asked what kind of cotton it was that brought bids of 20c to 24c on the Brinkley market and sold for 25c and 26c on the Helena and Memphis markets, 1 would say that from the best information abtainable it is very probably the Miss issippi Silk" variety. The ''Ex- press" cotton that has been bringing from 17c to ]9hc on the Brinkley market is premium staple cotton which has brought the best yield. It is also an early maturing variety and will produce premium staple and a satisfactory yield and no doubt beat the boil weavil as well.
The Brinkley argus., 1916-09-29

IF there was ever sure sign that the price of cotton will go higher surely the action of the market indicates that just now. It is worth consideration by every farmer and if there is go- ing to be a rise in the prices here's hoping our farmers will get some of the rise at least.

VOTERS in this county should right now satisfy themselves about the way they are going to vote on the various amendments and laws that are to be voted on at the November election. In nearly every election there are good citizens who fail to go to the polls and avail themselves of the most sacred right and duty of every citizen and yet they complain because the coun- ty is not what it ought to be.

Subscription Price $50 Per Year

IT is up to the merchants of Brinkley to see to it that the farmers of this section get the very highest possible price for all of the products of the farm and then it is up to the farmer to see to it that every dollar of this money is spent "at home" and that a nice profit is allowed the merchants for their goods. That's the way of community building.
