LANCSTON PLANS
DRILL Ne " HOLE
TO TEST REGION
Original Hole Lost at 2260 Feet;
Casing Pulled; to Skid Rig
and start New Operations
At Once

Operations are to be revived at
the location of the Langston Oil and
Gas company on the Milwee farm ii
section 323n-6w, according to G. NJ
Langston, manager Of the company
who is completing arrangements, to
drill the new test of that company
with rotary.
The work of pulling the pipe from
the old hole has just been completed
and in a few days the rig will be
skidded and remodeled to accomo-
date the rotary tools. At a depth of
2260 feet, the drillers headed into
fishing Job that could not be over
come and after several weeks of
fishing, it was decided to abandon the
hole. Indications were so favorable,
however, Mr., Langston stated, it was
decided to skid the rig and so down
with new hole.
The rotary work will be done By
DR.. d. NJ. Montgomery of MarloY
who will drill to a depth of 226G
feet, according to arrangements. AL
this depth, the casing will be cement
ed and the rig standardized for the
drilling in process with cable tools.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Langstol
that the present hole was lost with
the bit on top of a sand. Gas show
ings, he said, prompted this belief
and he points to the fact that the
company deems it advisable to spend
the necessary money to drill an en-
tirely new hole, as proof of his be-
lief in this territory as an oils pro
ducing region.

REPUBLICANS IN
EFFORT STIR UP
LAST HOUR VOTE
Circular Distributed Alleged to be by
Liquor League Asking Support
Cox as a "Wet, Branded
as "Phoney'

A piece Of last hour political dope
came to light today when a circular
alleged to be copy of letter writ
ten by the president of some sort
of liquor league, with headquarters
in Newark, ~ j., was circulated by
Republican leaders. 1t is in the
form Of an appeal to the friends Of
liquor to support Gov. Cox because
he is wet 1t is believed that the
circular was sown broadcast In the
prohibition sections throughout the
country.
This is just another one of the
schemes of the G. P. o. politicians
to deceive voters. 1t is like the al
legged circular purporting to give quo
tations from the National Catholic
Register" and which was designed
to arouse Protestant opposition to
President Wilson and the Democratic
party 1t has been proved several
times that the latter circular is a
pure fake and that there is no such
paper as the National Catholic Reg
ister' The circular has been abb
solutely repudiated by officials of the
Catholic church.
A big batch of "Jeffersonians' was
also sent out today. This is the pa,
per which the Republican state COM
mittee pays to have published and
sent out to influence Dem )crats who
were supporters Of Senator Gore IN
the primary. Sworn evidence that
the men in charge of the Jefferson
IAN and the Jeffersonian club are
paid employees of the Republican
State Committee has been put out
by the Democratic campaign man
ayers.
Fake dope Of this sort should in.
fluence no voter when he goes TO the
polls.
