That Date May Not Conflict With
Program Of Holding Confederate
Reunion, Nor With The Speaking
Intinerary Of Scott Ferris, Time Of
Opening County Campaign Advanced

reunion will be in progress in this
city, and for the further reason that
Congressman Scott Ferris has set his
itinerary for Carter county upon that
date for his candidacy for the United
States senate, the opening gun OF
the county campaign which was
scheduled to be fired at Newport
on the night of June 10th, has been
advanced one week and will now
take place on the night of Thursday,
June 17th, instead
All candidates for county and state
offices are requested to note the
change in date, and make their plans
accordingly.
Tho change OF the schedule was
made yesterday afternoon, when a
few candidates for county office met
at the courthouse, and the PROPOSE.
tion was under discussion.
Everyone in this section OF the
state wants to hear Scott Ferris
speak, likewise there will be many
Carter county citizens who will want
TO mingle with the old soldiers at the
camp fire in Central Park, and for
that reason it was suggested that the
opening OF the county campaign be
postponed one week. and notices sent
out to all the voting precincts to that
effect.
The political complexion Of Carter
county has not changed radically in
the past ten days or two weeks, the
candidates who have announced are
getting ready for the opening round
at Newport, and others who have been
flirting with voters relative TO their
prospective candidacy, may get their
names down before Uncle Jim"
Avery arises at Newport, and pro
claims the county campaign duly
opened.
1t begins to look as IL r. A. Baird
Of Healdton, and D. S. Hoover of
this city, would be the only two can
didates who have aspirations to rep
resent Carter county in the state leg
islature, and they will in all prob
ability have the field to themselves
during the campaign.
John Carlock will have no opponent
for the state senate, that is, unless
someone with bigger ideas than bet
ter Judgment decides at the last mo-
ment 10 file just to find out how
popular Mr. Carlock is in the county
Anyone with the temerity TO do
so would probably find out all right.
because every man, from every dis
trict in the county consulted rela-
tive to this race. says that the vote
will be unanimous in his section for
Mr.. Carlock
Quite lot Of interest is centered
in the commissioners race from the
first commissioners district.
Since Uncle Bud" Young decided
TO again ask the people for their suf-
frage in that district. things have
become somewhat muddled. and 1t is
going TO take u wise political head
10 do any very accurate prognost-
eating in that especial district, how
ever, there are those who claim to
know who state that some radical
changes may be made in the line up
in the next few days which will smp-
lify matters, however that remains
to be seen.
The race for county superintendent
of public instruction has developed
into a gleeful. merry, marathon, with
the added feature OF having lady
candidate trying conclusions with the
three other mere men" who want
the job
The race has developed interest for
the reason that it has caused the
women throughout the county to take
of their sex is in the running, and
the chances are that the heaviest
vote ever cast in Carter county Will
be counted after the primary election
August 3, because there is no gain
saying the fact that the women OF
Carter county are going TO vote and
they are going to have their way
about the manner in which they cast
that vote and for whom they cast
II, as they do in most everything
else they essay to do.
Right here in Ardmore are several

are themselves fighting democrats

lated to make lady vote the demo

the above casual statement that the
household of many in this city and
county is likely to he divided against
itself politically
rho chairman Of the state election
board has written Secretary Walter
Thompson for information as to the
number Of ballots for all parties re-
auired in the election, this is a ques-
ton that will have to be considered
vary carefully, for the reason that

The republicans of the county met
in convention here last Saturday aud
