.|NTERCHURCH WEEK
CLOSES IN ARDMORE

The Interchurch World Movement
drive which closes today, though it
has not reached its quota, accom-
plished to a great and lasting extent
its mission in Ardmore, for the finan-
cial drive was the least part of the
work to be accomplished by this great
new movement.
One of the chief aims Of the work
has been to foster a spirit of cooper
alton among the different denomina-
tions and to coordinate their forces
to carry out their program.
During the two days of the drive,
representatives from all the leading
churches have been meeting together
at luncheons and in conferences,
showing such spirit of cooperation
and friendliness as has never en-
shown before.
The various denominations gather
ing together and working together in
their drives through this movement
with the heartiest cooperation md ~
terest in each other, signify that a
new age is dawning for the church.

that appeals strongly to oil opera
tors.
Charles Grant for court Clerk, so
far has no opposition and as he Is
asking for an endorsement Of his
first term work it is doubtful if any
one will appear to oppose him.
For county weigher two candidates

and one from this city. Buck Rogers
of Berwyn. who is the out of town
man. has served the present incum-
bent as deputy at Berwyn for the

There are five candidates for the

The political pot has been content
to simmer for the past few days, and
no new candidates names adorn
the announcement columns of the
public prints, although several pros.
pective candidates are flirting with
public sentiment and act very much
like men who could be urged to ac-
cept some position on the ticket, and
it would not be at all surprising to
hear chlrp from some Of them
at any time
Up to date there Is just an even
two dozen candidates announced for
Carter county Offices. Three Of these
candidates are for state office. two for
representative and one for the state
senate.
For state senate. John II. Carlock
is the only candidate and it is an.
nounced on pretty good authority that
he will have no opposition. Mr.. Car
! lock is one of the most popular men
in the county. He is a business man
in whom every tax payer has con-
fidence..
For the state legislature, two can.
didates have announced. X. A. Baird

Ardmore, have let it be known that
they want the job, Hoover for re-
election and Baird on general prin-

ed for this race which will make 1t a
! triangular affair, unless Tom Rex
roat OF Hewitt concludes to make

into a quadrangular course.
For the office of county attorney
! two candidates have announced who
promise diversion to the voters, as
they are both experienced campaign
ers and when they reach out to make
the welkin ring. every bell begins
to jingle They are James II. MatherS
and w f. Freeman, and each will
no doubt enliven matters whole
lot when the campaign gets well un
der way.
Sheriff Garrett has an opponent
in the person, of Ed Terry, a young
man who resides at Newport. Terry
is an unknown quantity as cam
paigner and his merits will not be
demonstrated until after his nader
appearance on the stump.
The present county judge. NJ. F
Winfrey Is a candidate for re-elec
tion and has an opponent in the per
son of Franklin Bourland and, il
dame rumor has given out the right
dope. there will be another nam,
added to this list before the enc

candidates are experienced campaign

payers OF the county when they take
the stump.
Fred Haynie and John Sullivan viii

It is gratifying to find that as many
as $1,000 people have, according to the
latest census figures, found means OF
ekployment in local manufacturing
enterprises. One of the handicaps OF
this city has always been that the
government departments furnished al
most the sole opportunity, outside of
retail trade, for the employment OF
its people. The number now stated
as engaged in industrial pursuits out
side of the public service Is more
than s per cent of the total popula-
ton, probably the highest percentage

amendment. It is to be hoped that
this is true and that the amendment
will be given full force in season for
the national elections in November.
If Tennessee, a democratic state,
casts the thirty-sixth and deciding
vote for suffrage the democratic party
may benefit in the presidential race.
At present a highly critical spirit pre-
walls on the part Of the militant branch
of the organized suffragists against the
repub lican party and its candidates,
lowing to the failure of the amend
ment in Delaware, a republican state,
the refusal of the republican govern
ors of Vermont and Connecticut to
call their legislatures in extra session,
and the refusal of the party leaders
to exert compelling pressure upon
those state executives. On the other
hand, the fact remains that twenty
five of the thirty five votes thus far
east for the amendment have been
given by republican states, while seven
of the eight negative votes thus far
east have been given by democratic
states.

Stumping, and Its Risks.

The suggestion that Candidate Hard
ing make a stumping tour has pro-
dueed two warnings. Remember
James G. Blaine and the Burchard cpl
side! Remember Charles E. Hughes
and his visit to California!
In the one case the argument is that
if Mr.. Blaine had been on his front
porch in Maine, surrounded by his
family and his neighbors, he would
have been in a calm frame of mind
have heard every word of the Burchard
address, and instantly have replied to
the inapt phrase which did so much
harm. But being in New York, sur
rounded by an excited crowd of poll.
ticians and sightseers-everything in
noisy eonfusion-the phrase escaped
him; and SO, unreeognized and unre-
buked at the moment, it worked him
injury.
The argument in the other case is
that if Mr.. Hughes had remained at
home he and Hiram johnson would
not have passed each other by, with
the resultant loss of the state by the
repu blicans and the reelection of Mr.,
Wilson.
There is saying that lightning
never strikes twice in the same place.
Would it be wise to shape the present
campaign by the fear of a repetition
in kind of the contretemps of 1884, OF
1866 This is 1920.
Candidate Harding is not under a
glass case, and it is assumable has no
desire to be placed under one. He
is ready man, with long expert
ence in politics, and accustomed to
public discussion of public questions
He must take chances in the cam.
paign; and there will be chances
whether he remains at home or goes
on the road
The course to be pursued will an.
pear clearer later. If stumping tour
NOT necessarily long or trying one
lis decided upon, the republicans will
be able to felicitate themselves upon
a candidate who knows how to stump
and, having everything at stake, will
of course, stump in his best form.

Georgia.

Naturally, the anti-Palmer demo
Gratis of Georgia are greatly disgrun-
| tied at the seating of the Palmer
delegation from that state to the San
!, Francisco convention. The vote of the
democratic national committee was
unanimous And yet the vote in the
state primary was two to one against
Mr.. Palmer.
The talk that, as result, the state
may be lost by the democracy in No
vember would be fairly persuasive if
Georgia were two-party balllwlck
But she is not. Practically, there is
but one party there. The republicans
have skeleton organization, but it
functions to no important purpose.
Four years ago Mr.. Wilson received
a hundred and twenty-five thousand
odd votes, and Mr.. Hughes only eleven
thousand odd. So tremendous over
turn would be necessary to give Mr..
Harding chance.
Mr. Palmer was but name in the
Georgia primary. The democratic
lineup was Wilson and antiWilson.
But the anti Wilsonites divided, part
of them supporting Senator Smith and
the other part supporting Tom Wat
son. So Mr.. Palmer, by means of a
rule governing the primary, walked
through the breach to victory.
The anti-Wilson feeling in Georgia
has been growing for several years.
Mr.. Hardwick while senator was off
the Wilson reservation, while Senator
Smith voted for reservations to the
peace treaty.
Still, Georgia is democratic state,
and likely to remain so. Now and
then, over one thing or another, there
is a fare-up in the south, and one
might imagine democratic supremacy
threatened where the disturbance cen
tiers. But the storm blows over, and
the democracy continues supreme.

Washington's Industries.

Development of the Districts indus
tries is disclosed in the census Stats
tician's statement, published in yes
tsrday's Star. In 1914 the capitalize
ton of the local manufacturing estab-
ishments was $4o,s10,2 200, while at pres
emit it is more than $S0,000,000, or
about twice as much. There are now
in excess of 600 such establishments.
employing about $4,000 persons, as
against 1888 in 1914. Further sta
tistlcs are necessary to indicate to
what extent this growth of local in
dustries has been incident and due To
the war. In sense, Washington has
been less subject to wartime influence
IN respect to the industrial situation
than other places, although it did gain
immensely in population within that
period. In all likelihood this increase
in the clerical population of the CAPT,
tai gave rise to some of the industrial
development that is reflected in the
figures already given.
Washington will probably never be-
come an industrial city, in the usual
sense. 1t possesses exceptional facili
ties for such a growth, but the re
strictions laid upon it by virtue of its
character as the federal seat of gov
eminent will doubtless always prevent
the growth here of all but lighte,
forms of manufacturing. If the Pc

may come into being here a series OF

three fourths. 1t is not assured that

Traffic Casualty Figures.

Mai. Gessford's traffic accident fig
fore citizens association the other
night, disclose that there has been a
slight decrease in the number and
seriousness of these. mishaps in the
| streets of the city. While the current
; fiscal year is not yet complete, it ap-
pears that save in the number of
cases of damage to property-chiefly
motor car collisions, in which no per-
sons are hurt-there have been de-
| creases in all cases. 1t may be that
these lessened figures are due in some
part to the diminution of the popula-
ton, which has fallen during the past
| twelve months, owing to reductions in
the government forces At the height
! of the war period, when the local pop
ulation was close to, if not above, half
a million, the streets were badly con-
gested, especially with government
vehicles, which were run with little
regard for rules and the requirements
of public safety.
The slightly lower record of traffic
accidents, therefore, is no warrant for
feeling that there is any greater de-
gree of carefulness on the part of the
drivers in this city. 1t may be merely
the result of Iessened number of We
hieles and street users. It is plainly
necessary to continue with vigor the
campaign for law observance and en-
forcement, to make every driver scru-
| pulously observant of the rules and
fto educate the pedestrians to reeog
nize their own limitations and safety
requirements.
