The Moran-DiIIon Affair.

There are a number of people who can see no particular excitement in 0 Moran-Dillon affair. They will likely be entitled to another guess. The excitement should be there for exactly two reasons:
 1. Neither is inclined to dog it; both are willing to fight.
 2. Each one carries the wallop.
 Given this mbination and the re- suit is pretty sure to be surrounded with flying fur.
 Dillon is too much smaller than Moran to have anything but an out side chance, yet he isn't giving away as much to Moran as Charles Francis give away to Willard.

SAPULPA MAYOR
AFTER RED LIGHT
Citizens Fall in Line With Policy OF
New Official to Clean
the City.

Special to The World.
SAPULPA, July 21-Regardless Of
the fact that A. X. Boggs was electeo
mayor over a law enforcement candi
date as mayor, the citizens of Sapulpa
have fallen in line with his ideas OF
conducting the administration. Mayor
Boggs has already put in force his
ideas of cleaning out the rooming
houses Of the city which heretofore
have been questionable by putting
through the city commission, without
dissenting vote, an ordinance ap-
pointing n rooming- house inspector.
The ordinance is peculiar in that 1t
specifies that If the inspector finds
that rooming house is not being
conducted according to the state laws,
as we'll as the city laws that the sign
"rooming house" shall be taken down,
and red light hung out instead. This
is the first time in the history Of the
state that the city government has
passed such an ordinance and it seems
to meet with the approval Of the citi-
zens The mayor states that he hopes
to eliminate illegal practices in room
ing houses by this ordinance. Other
city ordinances will be as rigidly en-
forced.

MOT satisfied with making the oil

innumerable to mention, Oklahoma
politicians, headed by Campbell Rus

are now seeking to make the produc-

provides for a recording fee of 81 per

will be initiated right after the pri-

The Oklahoma oil producers are
rapidly becoming the football of de-

situation is materially bettered be-

of this state will be forced to seek
refuge in other localities.
Today the producers are not only
handicapped by lack of pipe line ia
cilities-getting only 60 per cent OF
their oil run, but are in danger OF
being heavily fined, going to jai
and having their property placed IL
