REPUBLICANS WORKING HARD
FOR ALDERNIANIC CANDIDATES
The Republicans VIII Make a Strong
Effort to Elect Their Candidates
For Aldermen at the City Election
to be Held April 4th.

The local organization of the Re-
campaign in behalf of that party's
nominees for aldermen from the var
ious city wards, and will not spare
themselves in efforts to carry the
election for their candidates. Local
party leaders have remarked the
past week, in a jocular way, that it
has been their effort that has result
ed in the interest shown in last Tues
days primary by the Democrats on
behalf of their own candidates.
The respective candidates from
each ward are as follows:
Ward One
Republican, H. c. Frye.
Democrat, viii Kiethley.
Ward Two
Republican, A. l.. Severance.
Democrat, Jas. r. Mckinney.
Ward Tnree-
Republican, George Walker.
Democrat, e. c. Terrell.
Ward Four
Republican, S. 1. Watson.
Democrat, Horace Marshall.
First Ward Republicans are prob
ably making the biggest fight for
the election of their candidate, and
remarks regarding their activity are
being often heard on the streets.
The Socialists have candidates
from Wards One and Four, but so
far as is to be seen this early in the
game, no concerted effort is being
made on their behalf.

LaWton Parties PIeased.

There were some happy Lawton
boys in the city this morning. They
were n A. Robertson, NJ. S. Simpson
and Guy C. Robertson, who have been
on the anxious seat for several days
over an oil well they were drilling in
the Healdton field. They received
word last night from Frank Wright
and A. r. McLennan, who are also
interested and who have been on the
ground looking after it, that a 600
barrel well had been brought in.
The well is a very strong one and
the sand has been drilled about fifteen
feet and no doubt will develop much
stronger when fully drilled In.
We congratulate the boys on their
lucky strike.-Lawton Constitution.

AT CALLED MEETING OF CITY
COMMISSIONERS YESTERDAY,
CITY ATTORNEY WAS IN
STRUCED TO WRITE COMPANY.

At the meeting of the city commits.
| sioners yesterday afternoon, the prin-
| cipal business transacted was a gen
| eral discussion of the local gas situa.
| ton, and a resolution was passed
authorizing the city attorney to ad-
| dress letter to the City Gas company
calling attention to the provisions of
its franchise and commanding the
company to furnish an adequate sup
ply of gas or steps would be taken
to seek relief through the courts. The
| low pressure every winter since gas
was installed as fuel In this city has
been the one bone of contention.
Promises have been made by the op-
! Grating company times without num-
ber but every cold wave that strikes
this city finds the same circumstances
prevailing, and for that reason, pa
thence has become exhausted.
The city dads are going after the
gas company from now on and will
try to force the company to furnish
an adequate supply for domestic pur-
poses at least. The county commits
sioners have taken the burners out OF
the furnace in the court house ana
will resort to coal in the future for
fuel. All heavy consumers have been
cut off and all the available gas Is
being given over for domestic pur-
poses. With all that, great incon-
venience has been experienced in the
city in the last two days, although no
actual suffering has been reported
The ward schools have discarded gas
as fuel and will return to coal also
The schools were dismissed yesterday
until the change could be made.
The new management of the City
Gas company state that they are doing
all they can to furnish all gas pos
sible under the circumstances, but
the city commissioners and mayor, as
well as every consumer in the city, !
want it made possible to furnish all
they want, as the gas is in the field, |
going to waste in many instances /
by the millions of feet. The city |
officials state that al that is re-
quired is that the necessary transpor
tation facilities be provided to convey /.
the gas to the city. The present /
pipe line is far too small, they main
tain, but they are going to insist that
gas be furnished the city under the
provisions of the franchise, or they
will take legal action.
