THE MAYORALTY
EDITORIAL

(Editorial)
The Ardmoreite believes that the of Ardmore owe
it to themselves and to their city in next Tuesdays
primary election for DO Williams for the Democratic nomna
ton for Mayor.
Mr. Williams is no office seeker In fact this is the first
time in his thirty years residence in Armore that he has asked
any office at the hands of the citizens of Ardmore And he
doubtless would not now be candidate had he been per
suaded against his nclnatons by the business mems
committee to accept the office Of Mayor fill an unexped
term Now that he has made good during the short time that
he has been Mayor feel that he ought to be given vote
of confidence in the shape Of overwhelming majority next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Williams has lived among you for thirty years and
stain has besmched his good He has never been
accused of any wrongdong.
He is in this because he has listened to his friends
who feel that the city of Ardmore should at its head dur
ing the next critical few of experience judgment
and honesty,
1t must be remembered that many hundreds of thousands
of dollars will be expended by the city during the next two
In fact no two years in the history of the city have
many improvements contemplated during the next
two years.
If elected he will go into the position with the confidence
every citizen and with nothing in his past life hanging over
his head to embarrass him in any of his official acts.
