WRIT OF N A n D A N us,
.PL AIN T|FFS A NSW { R

Resenting the article appearing in
yesterdays issue of the Ardmoreite
relative to the supreme court action
in the mandamus case against the
mayor, city attorney I. 4. Mason
herewith gives his version of the
affair, and a statement as to the
action of the supreme court in the
matter.
Judge Mason says that his assertion
of yesterday that the supreme court
! did take jurisdiction was absolute
ly correct, but in spite OF that fact
says that credence was given state
ments of attorneys for the plaintiff
issue az follows:
The first thing l note is that the
supreme court refused to take juris
diction in the matter.
Now, wont you please let me say
that the supreme court did take juris
diction of the entire case and at the
urgent request of my friend Mr.
Sneed went fully into the merits 0,
the case and did render its fina
judgment i nthe matter follows:
Cause No, 1886. State ex rel 7. B.
Orr, ct al. VS.. w. f. Freeman, Mayor
Application for writ of mandamus
denied"
Robt. NJ. Rainey, Chief Justice
William Franklin, Clerk
by this you will see that the court
hA -
isdiction but upon the merits of the
case and, permit me to say, after
full argument of the issues by Mr
Sneed and myself. and after present.
alton of the law, and the court In
the sitting in conference did plainly
state to Mr.. Sneed that they had
several times held that the charter
provisions were supreme and para
mount and it was exactly upon tina,
point that they did act.
II did not argue that the district
court did not have Jurisdiction, but
on the contrary l insisted that our
own court did have jurisdiction, and
that the plaintiffs ought to have gone
there first and they are now the ones
that insisted that the supreme court
act and now that they have acted
finally they still want to keep up
the friction. They ought to be salts
fled some time and some place.
May l be permitted to ask that
if the supreme court has acted on
the merits of the case, by what kind
of pleading do they now hope to get
our own district court to act upon
the same question, especially when
our court is inferior to the supreme
court and bound by that courts decis-
ions?
81 again plead with the good citi-
zens of Ardmore, lets stop our
wrangling and pickering and get to-
gether and pull. We have good
city, and good form Of government and
plenty of prosperity. Let's build, not
tear down, and next spring let's fight
it out like good men and true"

Lincoln, Neb., July 22.-SeveraI
hundred kilograms and as many lev
ters pouring in on William ]. Bryan
today urging him to accept the nom.
nation of the prohibitionist party
for president. They came from all
parts of the country and the domi-
nant keynote in all was that this
was Mr.. Bryan's opportunity to
sweep the country because people
were disgusted with both the democrat.
ic and republican parties.
Lincoln, Neb., July 22,-With the
nomination Of its presidential candi-
date completed, the prohibition ma
tional convention today turned its at
tention toward the selection Of q vice
presidential candidate, the adoption o,
a platform and election Of a new ma
tional committee. Adjournment las,
night was considered possible.
The convention nominated William
j. Bryan for its presidential candidate
over protest made by Charles J.
Bryan, his brother. through New
York delegates. Early today no wora
had been received from Mr.. Bryan
concerning his attitude on the nom,-
nation.
AS a running mate for William J.
Bryan, the name of Miss Mans
Brehm, Los Angeles, stood out In
discussions among the delegates.
Miss Brehm was one of the out
standing figures in the first days
session OF the convention yesterday.
She was chosen permanent chairman
OF the convention and after presiding
with vigor over its deliberations all
afternoon, yielded the chair ana
placed Bryan in nomination.
Early talk Of BILLY" Sunday as a
vice presidential possibility was brough,
to an abrupt stop BY the evangelist's
statement, made in Hood River, Ore
gon, that he considered Senator HARD
ing satisfactory dry candidate.
Indications were that the platform
would contain a clear cut decision
against any less stringent enforce.
ment of the 18th amendment than
is now provided by the volstead act
and brief plank setting forth the
party's sympathy with Just claims Of
labor. A league of nations pronounce.
nent was expected which would de-
clare for league of nations, bu,
not specifically for the league pro-
vided for in the covenant of the treaty
OF Versailles. An anti-lynching plank
and party declaration on the subjec,
OF Mexico also were scheduled.
Selection of the new party's nationai
committee, shows a larger proportion
OF women than usual as result OF
the recommendation OF the old ma
tlonal committee, that each state
select one man and one woman for
membership on the committee were
practicable. Members Of the commit.
tee are recommended by the state
delegates and the selections are then
submitted to the convention for ra-
tification.
