A word to the good women of
Chickasha: You are or least should
be interested in making Chickasha
the cleanest town in Oklahoma You
should do all in your power to bring
that about. You say, what can we
do?" This you can use your influ-
ence, You have the right of suffrage.
You should use that right and vote
for the man taat stands for the prin-
ciples of right and against wrong.
In my humble judgment we can
never make Chickasha what we want
it to be by saying what we want, 1t
is not enough to stand for the right,
but we will have to fight the wrong.
Past experience teache me, if we
would have a clean town, we will
have to elect clean men to office. A
word to the laboring people. Those
of you who know me know that l am
laboring man, having always earned
my living by my hands.

FRIEND cHIcKAsHA.

Dear Friend, to speak my thoughts
in rhymes
OF these most cherished Yule times,
Brings memories that can never fade
Till earthly things have all decayed
-
Your face was ever our delight,
Your words were ever true and
bright
Your hand could give the friendship
shake,
Your wisdom did our courage wake.
How well I'd love to sing your
praises
Along life's restless busy days,
And turn the leaves of memory
DER
And feast upon the things of yore.
So take my hand; the words come
slow
Where'er our wandering footsteps
go.
May we, like Santa Claus, take
These rhymes for old acquaintance
sake.
