til the general election TO vote on

ment, it was held
A request for an opinion in the
matter was signed by all mem
bers of the Ardmore city commits
sion.
Notwithstanding the agreement be-
tween City Commissioners Carter, Fra
ley and Wilson, with attorneys of tn ,
citizen committee, the commissioners
that would call an election TO submit
the question of charter amendments
to the people should the attorney gen.
eral render an opinion that they could
legally do so, City Attorney Mason
stated this morning that the election
would not be held until the next regu-
lar election next spring.
This statement he authorized in
face OF the fact that the attorney
general handed attorneys for the citi-
zens' committee an opinion Saturday
that the commissioners could call the
election and might do so if they de-
sired.
Attorneys for the citizens committee
expressed the belief Saturday night
that the commissioners would meet
and call the election, but now that the
question is combatted by the city at-
torney, they are undecided just what
their next step will be.
City attorney Mason stated this
morning that no matter what course
the commissioners pursued, there will
be no election until next spring when
he will gladly agree to the demand,
but under no circumstances would he
do so now, stating that to call an
election at this time would be without
sanction of the law.

Mr.. Mel Ferguson. chairman of the

the Star that Monday he sent letters
to all the democratic committeeman

to make every effort to induce white
women to register. He also tells US
that he has but very small fund to
draw on, and is absolutely unable to
leave his business, hire car and
travel all over the county stirring up
the people to do their duty. 1t should
not be necessary for him to do so
The democrats in every precinct

is trouble in the Balkans, troops viii
be sent from Europe, and not from
America, three thousand miles fur
Their Off" The people are being told
by the republicans that if America
sent troops, America would have to
bear all the expense. This is not
true; it would have to be borne by the
league, which could send regiment
from an European country for what
lit could send company from Amer
lea. Of course, if there was great
world war, American troops would
have to go where they were needed.
But it is TO prevent a world war that
the league is advocated. If we have
no league, America may be the next
nation to get into war.

fault they found with it was that it
had not been written sooner. If any,
body will look over the files of the

find many items and articles pointing

LESSONS IN VOTING

Mr.. M. l.. Payne suggests that tne
county superintendent of schools
send lists of political candidates to al
the schools and have the teachers put
in a part of each day teaching them
to the scholars.
We hardly think the county super
,irtendent could follow up the sugges-
t;on 1t would not be teaching civil
government but partisan politics; pc
side none of the young folks IN scnooi
vill be old enough to vote in this cleo
ton. Also, Mr.. Payne, who has been
teacher himself, can understand now
a ticket posted up in school room.
would distract the attention OF the
scholars.
We think we can suggest "a better
plan.
SchooIhouses are community build
inps-a school house is often the only
nublic building in community except
the church. We think it would be a
good idea for the people to gather in
their school houses after school hours
as many afternoons or evenings as
nossible. and have the older, best
trained citizens instruct the new cltl-
zens in the art of voting.

Garment Makers Find Labor LIS
Cheaper and More Contented.

In reply to a recent QUESTIONABLE, SO
per cent OF members of the Interna-
tional Association Of Garment Manu-
facturers said they either operated
branch factories in small towns outside
New York or contemplated SO doing.
Almost all who answered said that after
few months for organization a branch
plant in a small town demonstrated its
value.
Although a majority said labor in
country towns was cheaper. some en-
ployers wrote that labor cost was grad
ually increasing and city conditions
were being reproduced. Most OF them
said, however. that there is more, better
and moro tractable labor in small towns,
with less likelihood OF union organize
ton and strikes.
The consensus was that town Of
$4,000 was best. and one manufacturer
wrote: Most important is population

locality with no industry for women and
population from 1900 to 10000"
