Delegate F. o. Butt moved that wo-
men be permitted to vote at the
special election to be called for the
constitution, which proposes their
complete Acknowledgement. This was
opposed on the ground that until the
constitution is adopted, women are
not electors, and that to permit them
to vote would invalidate or leopard
ize the validity of the constitution.
His resolution failed, but there are
some who hold that it should have
been adopted with the understand
that before the election is held

A SUCCESSFUL SERIES.
The Weeks Meetings at the
Baptist Church Prove of Real
and Sustained Interest:

The series of meetings at the
Baptist church, concluding Sun
day evening, which began with
the setting of the corner stone
and closed with the dedication
of the edifice, was remarkable
in the interest manifested. The
program covered a wide range of
topics, and fourteen speakers
participated. And each session
was attended by a large and
ldeply interested congregation.
The most remarkable feature
was the financial victory. At
the morning service Sunday last
lit was announced that the total
cost of the property, ircluding
lots. structure and furnishings,
amounted to $3,388.20. That
the sums raised and paid in ag-
gregated $2,6S2.35, leaving a
deficit of $795.85. When an op-
'portunity was given, in the
course of the service, that sum
was covered quickly by pledges
from members and friends
present, even going beyond, the
subscriptions rendered being
about $50 in excess of the sum
needed.
Votes of thanks were extend
ed all friends and business men
in Nogales who by their finan-
lcial and moral assistance had
rendered possible the fine house
of worship that has arisen in the
Line City.

ers were general in Nebraska and
central Kansas and eastward. Corn
improved in the central districts,
but it was too dry in the south
western and too cool in the north
ern and northeastern districts. The
corn crop is mostly we'll cultlvat-
ed. The harvesting of winter wheat
was began in northern Ohio, lndi-
ana, Illinois and Nebraska. Spring
wheat was damaged and is heading
short in central North Dakota and
westward, but is growing well fur
ther east. 1t was too dry and warm
for potatoes, meadows, ranges and
some truck crops in the Great

ROY SHORES ANNOUNCES
FOR REPRESENTATIVE

In this issue of the Ardmoreite
Roy Shores announces himself as
a candidate for reelection on the
Democratic ticket for the lower
house of the State Legislature. Mr..
Shores did so only at the importun-
tiles of his many friends in the City
of Ardmore and in his district, Mr..
Shores, as everybody will agree, dis
charged the duties of the office at
the last session of the Legislature
with credit to himself and to his
constituents. His ability and stand
ing gave him the chairmanship OF
the powerful committee on oil and
gas production and since his asso-
citation with the law-making body
in this particular and since Carter
County is heavily interested i'll oil
and gas. his familiarity with this
subject lends weight to the idea that
his duty in the future as a member
of the house will be greatly accen-
tuated, and makes il imperative, hav-
ing our own interests at heart, to
return him to this body.
He has been here twelve or fiji
teen years and is progressive. ag-
gressive and successful young busi-
ness man. We feel that it is the
duty of everybody to support him.
