On this two hundred and seventy
anniversary of the birthday of the man VIII,
founded Philadelphia and the State o
Pennsylvania, it is interesting to note wha
william Penn paid to the aborigines for tn
land upon which this city now stands.

Upland, called Chester Creek all along the west
side of the Delaware River, and so between the
said creeks backwards as far as man can ride
in two days with horse for and in considera-
, ton of these following goods to us in hand paid,
and secured to be paid by William Penn, Pro-
prietor and Governor of the Province of Penn
sylvania, and territories thereof, viz, twenty
guns, twenty fathoms matchcoat, twenty
fathoms strong water, twenty blankets, twenty
kettles twenty pounds of powder, one hundred
bars of lead, forty tomahawks, one hundred
knives, forty pair of stockings, one barrel of
beer, twenty pounds red lead hundred
fathoms Of wampum, thirty glass bottles,
thirty pewter spoons, one hundred owl blades,
three hundred tobacco pipes, one hundred hands

A COMPLETE REPORT

The election reports received by the
Ardmorete last night We're the most
complete ever received before in Ok
lahoma. The Associated Press in
this state created an organization
that gathered quick and reliable news
from every section of the state and
gave out these reports from time
to time as the votes were tabulated
The machinery worked with precision
and the eleven zone reporters, one
of which was located in the Ardmore-
ite remained at their posts until .
o'clock this morning.
The organization perfected in Ok
lahoma was worked out in every 9TH
er state in the Union and this or
ganiZation accounts for the returns
being so nearly complete last night.
The Associated Press newspapers
have had service far superior TO
the service given any other class Of
papers and the reports this year
We're superior to any service they
have ever had on any other election
year.
The results show what can be done
by great news gathering organiza-
tion when it sets up the right kind
OF machinery and keeps it properly
oiled.

BLOW AT WILSON

1t is all over except the
shouting, and the Democrats
are not doing that.
We had our day before the
election; we had our time of
hurrahing on Monday; we had
our time of pleasant dreams
OF success Immediately after
the San Francisco convention;
we INDUCED in the soothing
effects of the deadening OPT
ate, with rays of roseate
ON S e. pictured by our
minds eye, in the offing, and
now we are ready to take our
hat off to the Republicans and
stand quietly in the side lines
while they do the shouting.
Never before in the political
history Of the United States,
with the possibility of the first
Cleveland election, has there
been such a landslide, such an
avalanche of votes to either of
the major parties.
When Wilson carried the
nation in 1912, the split in the
Republican party put him
across with q heavy electoral
vote. When he carried the ma
tion in the election of 1916, he
carried it with the woman's
vote Of the west and the
northwest - sections of the
country which were, which al
ways have been, which are to-
day heavily Republican on a
straight party vote.
Even the most sanguine
Democrat who has whooped
things up for Cox since the
early morning hour when the
Democratic convention named
him the standard bearer of
his party, has felt, has believ-
ed away down in the bottom
Of his heart that the election
of Cox could only come as an
unprecedented sequence of i'm
probable results.
The American voter is a Pc
culiar animal. He (and she)
is an Independent creature,
with an Independent brain
seated inside an independent
skull, and existing conditions,
coming at the end of eight
years Of Democrat rule, eight
years, a part of which were

breasts of the American, de-
manded a change.
I'VE have tried the Demo
crat party for eight years,
was the cry; I'VE have tried
the Democrat party and have
passed through one of the
greatest wars which ever rock
ed the world and threatened
Christianity; we have tried
the Democrat party and pass
ed through a season of the
most unthought-of profiteer-
ing and money grabbing; we
have tried Democracy and are
now in the throes of a recon-
struction period, with prices
tumbling about our ears, with
the prices of cotton, corn,
wheat and livestock reaching
a low-water mark, we will
swap horses, even though we
be in the middle of the stream,
we will trade off the Demo-
Gratis for the Republicans and
see where we stand"
This word seems to have
been passed along the line
from the Maine woods to the
Sierra Madras, from the Lakes
of the North to the Mason and
Dixon line, and every time a
Harding voter was called, that
voter, man or woman, answer
ed Here"
Yes, it is all over but the
shouting, and the Republicans
are attending to that.
In masculine basso, in fem
inine soprano, the shouts are
going up this morning for the
Man from Ohio, but that man
is not the Ohio man whom the
Democrats hoped for, whom
they prayed for, for whom
they voted.
But, the one fact remains,
the fact which goes to make
this the greatest nation on the
face of the earth-the fact
that we are all Americans,
and that today, as one people,
as Americans, we have one
president.
