WALLACE FOR TREASURER
Well Known Young Office Man Wants
to Be Boss.

With this issue of The Ardmoreite,
appears the announcement of Coley
Wallace, who has been identified with
the county treasurer's office for the
past five years as a deputy, and who
has determined to come before the
people at the coming primary and ask
that they elect him to the office for
a term, that he may be boss of the
job.
Mr.. Wallace needs no introduction
to the people of Ardmore and Carter
county. He is young man OF ex-
ceptional business ability and his ex-
perience in that office particularly fits
him for the place to which he as
pires. Mr.. Wallace came from good
old democratic stock, and when quite
young concluded to shift for himself
in the new territory. He arrived in
Ardmore in 1897 and proceeded to
get a Job. He wasn't very particular
about the kind of job, so long as it
would yield a living and chance
to study. He was educated in the
common schools of this and his native
state and entered business college,
where he graduated with honors. He
soon secured a position in the office
of Westheimer & Daube, and remain
ed there until he accepted the posi-
ton he now holds with the county
Mr.. Wallace is a young man of eX'
cellent character. He attends strictly
to business and is capable of hand
ling every detail of the office to which
he aspires.
If the voters at the coming primary
see fit to elect Coley Wallace as coun
| ty treasurer, they will have no cause
for regret, and the reputation of that
office, which has been held up by the
state examiners as a model for the
state, will be maintained.

ENTERS POLITICAL ARENA
"Uncle Bud" Harris Gets in Race for
County Commissioner.

A. ]. Harris of Provence, who is
familiarly known among his close
friends as Uncle Bud" is in the
race for county commissioner from
the first district. Mr.. Harris does not
need any introduction to the people
of his district as he has lived here
for q years.
Ardmore was just bursting out of
the shell when he landed here from
Texas and made his home in what is
now Carter county. He has observed
the building of every brick building
in Ardmore. he has seen almost every
church and every school house in the
county under construction. He has
contributed his full part as a pro-
gressive citizen to bring about the
wonderful changes in civilization that
have taken place in this country. He
was reared in northwest Alabama,
and after living in Texas for seven
years he came here to make his per
manent home. He has surrounded
himself with a bunch of good. loyal
friends, and he has lived life which
has brought to him the respect OF
every citizen of the county.
Mr.. Harris has always been an act
i've member of the democratic party.
He has borne the heat and burden of
the day and has never asked for po-
litical preferment. He asks for politi-
cal recognition at this election, and he
asks for an office this time that he
is eminently able to fill. While Mr..
Harris has been a farmer, he has had
a wide business experience. He takes
a broad view or business matters and
possesses executive ability. He is as
honest as the soil ne has lived close
to all his life, and If he is elected
he will bring to the commissioners
court the virtues that are necessary
TO the life of the county. He is well
known in Ardmore. where he has

has been identified with county af'
fairs, makes his formal announcement
in this issue of The Ardmorelte for
the office of court clerk, subject TO
the action of the democratic primary
election August |.
Mr.. Duke has been a resident OF

A native of Mississippi, he came to

he was employed in various capaci-
ties in office work, and he is con-
sidered to be one of the best account
ants in the state.
His first public service was as
deputy under W. B. Frame, the first
county clerk of Carter county. He
was then elected to the office and
served two terms. After the end OF
his second term he declined the third
nomination, ayerr!ng that his DEM
ocracy taught him that others were
entitled to the job without opposi-
ton from him, after serving the pub
lie so long.
For the past year and half he has
served as deputy in the county clerks
office, but now aspires to be clerk
of the courts, an office to which he
is eminently fitted. If the voters OF
Carter county decide to repose tn
honor upon Mr.. Duke, they will have
performed service for which they
will have no regrets. He is qualified
in every way to fill the place. He
enjoys the utmost confidence of ey-
ery man in Ardmore and Carter conn-
ty. and his courteous treatment OF
all has made him many warm and
substantial friends.

term as county ofticial,-or as an
official in any capacity whatever. He

Carter county for over thirty years,
and during all that time has never
asked for any office within the gift

third district over strong field, ana
so well has he served the people
of this district that every one of his
former opponents are now his warm
est supporters, and assure him of his
overwhelming success at the polls.
Mr. Evans is modest man. He is
capable and honest and does the best
possible for all the people in all
parts of the county. He is asking for

many things that he has begun, and
assures the people that their conh-
dence will not be misplaced
The people should look well to the
qualifications of George Evans ana
to what he has accomplished with
the means at hand, before consider
ing retiring him. He has made sood
and in asking for a second term he
believes he is asking no more than
he is entitled to.

UNDERWOOD FOR WEIGHER
Well Known Citizen Of Ardmore and
Carter County Announces Candidacy.

Well Known Citizen Of Ardmore and
Carter County Announces Candidacy.
There is a very important office In
Carter County that is never overlooked
when candidates are casting about
to get into office, and that Is the office
of county weigher. Many people do
not realize the Importance of this po-
siion, but an investigation will re-
veal that its cuts quite a figure in the
affairs of the country in as much as
it affects every farmer who has a bale
of cotton or load of any other prod
uct of the farm to sell. With this issue
of the Ardmoreite will appear the an
nouncement of Sid Underwood for that
office, who comes before the people
asking their suffrage and promising
faithful service if elected. Mr.. Under
wood was born in Kentucky 36 years
ago. For the past 26 years he has
been a resident Of this locality and dur
ing all that time he has merited and
maintained the esteem of every cit
izen.
Mr.. Underwood has spent most of
his life in the ginning Business and
for number of years was valued
employe of the Ardmore Oil & Milling
Company. He knows what the farmer
wants and is prepared to give him
that service if elected. Sid stated yes
terday that if elected he would see
that there was no delay in weighing
the cotton of the farmer as fast as it
was brought to the yard, and eliminate
all waits of from one to six hours,
that there would be no MONDAY rest
with him, but that two sets of scales
would be in operation and everyone
waited upon with dispatch. This was
taught him from experience, as he says
he knows what it is to be delayed for
several hours, especially in bad wealth
er. Mr.. Underfood needs no introduc-
ton to the people of Carter county,
! and If the voters see fiji to select him
as their next county weigher, he will
make good,

Parker for the office of county treas

Mr.. Parker, who has been a resi-

A PRACTICAL MAN
offers His Services to County-W. F.
Whitson Becomes a Candidate.

Whtson Becomes a Candidate.
Many Carter county people will be
glad to learn that w. F. Whitson has
offered his services to Carter county
on the Board of commissioners from
the third district. Those who know
him well will be glad of it for the
reason that he has had so much eX-
perience in that line of work. lie
has never served upon the board but
since statehood he has missed only
seven meetings of the board. In at
tendance upon the sessions he mas
learned the law that governs the ac-
tions of the commission, he is ac'
ouainted in detail with all the hun
dreds of schemes that are presented
to the board to get some of the tax
money of the county and another
important feature in his campaign Is
the fact that for fourteen years he
was with the Louisville Bridge ana
Iron company in the state of Tennes-
see, and during those years he learn
ed the bridge building work from A
to z and since statehood in Okla
homa he has been engaged largely
in doing bridge building work in
Carter county.
When the Kansas City and Mid
land bridge companies were building
bridges on a percentage basis in TINS
county the work of Mr.. Whitson
saved the taxpayers of the county
SO 900 in those contracts. An idea
of his efficiency and economy can be
gathered from the cost of the bridges
he built compared with those built
bv the large bridge companies. In
bridges of the same size and of the
same specifications the cost of those
he built were just little above one
half what those cost that were built
bv the companies. Under the new
road law of the state now, every
bridge that costs as much as 500
must be let by contract, but BIZ Whit
son will know when the specifications
have been complied with and he Will
be of vast service to the county in
case of his election. Mr. Whitson
from long experience in actual work
has a technical knowledge of engin-
eering and can estimate water sheds,
yardage and drainage, and the know
ledge he has of this is practical 1T
was obtained at labor and is worth
more than the kind gathered from
the reading of books on the subject.
Mr.. Whitson is now a member OF
the Carter county democratic central
| committee. He has always been loyal
to his party. His father served four
years under General Wheeler and
under General Forrest in the cNll
war. and the traditions of the ccun'
try are sacred to his memory. He
moved here l. years ago from MS
native state-Tennessee. He lives on
farm near Downard Mines and is
proud of the fact that only one social
ist vote was cast at his box in the
last election and he is of the opinion
that even that vote will fail to show
I'D for the socialists in the next elec
ton.
No man ever had cause to doubt
the honor and integrity nor the ability
of Bill Whitson and before the cam
paign closes he hopes to see person
allv every man in his district.

FRED HAYNlE ANNOUNCES
Well Known Man Who Wants to Be
Court Clerk of Carter County.

Court Clerk of Carter County.
S. f. Haynie has made public his
announcement for the office and is
now running for reelection. His man
ner of conducting the office is well
known to the people of the county and
his record is the only commendation
he needs. Mr.. Haynie is always at
his post of duty, he has spent every
day in his office at work and has run
the office with the same economy
and with the same eXactness that he
would give to a business of his own.
Mr.. Haynie has lived here so long
that he is known personally to almost
every man in the county. While earn
ing his living on grocery wagon he
was in runaway that made cripple
for life of him and since that time
many of the avenues open to other
people are not open to him. Mr.. Haynie
expresses gratitude to the Carter
County people for their kindness to
him and expresses the hope that he
will be able to visit every nook and
corner of the county between now
and the day the primary election is
held.
1t can be said of Mr. Haynie that
the county has never had man who
worked harder, who has kept his rec
ords in better shape or who has made
a better official than Fred Haynie, and
this county has been exceptionally
fortunate in getting good men. This
statement is not a mere idle boast,
but is backed up by the experts who
from time to time have checked the
accounts of Carter county officials,
