SUNDAY MORNINGS PAPER

Sunday mornings Ardmoreite was
an edition that the paper was proud
of. 1t consisted OF 40 pages and the
amount of advertising carried was
1865 inches, or an average of almost
100 inches to the page. The press
work was exceptionally clean and
clear. the typographical appearance
was good and the paper made good
showing.
The issue was conceived by Col. i.
L. Hull, vicepresident OF the company.
II was executed by him and TO him
belongs the credit OF having gotten out
one of the incest. cleanest and most
wholesome special editions ever is
sued in the city. He Is now in Tulsa
on business trip and We take ad-
vantage of his absence to talk about
him in any manner We please.
The local advertising consisted of
1894 inches, the out-of-town advertis.
ing amounted to 1904 inches and the
foreign advertising made up the rest
OF the total of almost 1000 inches.
The paper was begun but few
weeks ago, and so well was 1t man
aged that the shop was never rushed,
and no confusion existed 1t was
brought from the press on time and
every reader received his copy at the
usual time.
. The Ardmoreite desires to express
gratitude to the local advertisers and
to the oil men and refinery men of the
state for their generous patronage.

to see this great educational feature,
and for that reason the Ardmoreite
arranged for return date.
Every American citizen should see
this wonderful spectacle. 1t teaches
the folly of unpreparedness Of any
nation, and depicts most vividly what

PERSONAL WORD TO DEMOCRATS

These are times when it would be
foolish to try to fool ourselves. We
do not know whether woodrow Will
son Is going to be elected November
7 or not. But we do know that we
have the republicans scared within an
inch OF their lives and We will admit
THAT there is just little doubt over
on our side. That doubt is caused by
the fact that big business is for
Hughes, that big business has turned
| loose this week its barrels of money,
that big business will make every eff
fort possible to coerce the labor vote.
and that makes the issue in doubt. 1t
is in doubt because We do not know
just how much power great wealth
has.
You notice that Chairman Geissler
of Oklahoma is claiming this state for
Hughes by 10000 votes. The socialists
assert that Carter and adjoining coun-
ties will cast a favorable vote for the
socialist election law.
AS far as we are concerned we have
but one duty to perform, and that duty
is to look after our own precinct. The
national election taken as a whole is
an enormous thing, but when we an
alyze the individual duty, it is not so
large.
That duty consists of doing few
days work for the ticket, Check over
your neighbors, those who vote at the
same place you vote. Some of them
will be as eager to vote as you are,
while others will be busy with their
work They will consider that Okla
homa is democratic anyway, that their
vote Is not needed and they might be
stay-at.home. You can do your party
service and your country a greater
service by seeing that this man gets
to the polls. Oklahoma people are
going TO vote right If they get to the
polls. That's the only duty we can
perform for the state.
The peace and prosperity of the
nation is certainly worth a weeks
work on the part Of every citizen of
Oklahoma. We need 20 make it our
business to do something for Wood
row Wilson and the democratic party
which have done so much for us. It
is only a work of gratitude that we
owe them.
The town voters are likely to be
more careless than the rural voters
They usually are, and the men OF
Ardmore have most useful work to
do between now and the election
which is only one week off.
We can go to work and bury that
obnoxious election law with our votes
liz that law carries It will be the en-
tering wedge for the loss of control OF
the state. Our state VIII go back tc
the kind of government we had prior
to statehood and that is the last thing
we want. These mighty questions are
involved, and they are worth weeks
work on the part of any man who
loves his state.
We can do no more than say to you
that democracy expects every man tC
do his duty.

from a fourth to half bale to the

prevailing for cotton and for cotton
