from the judiciary down thru all tn,
departments of the government
county. municipal and school dis
tricts. Matters became so corrup,
that the courts we're used for private
collection agencies and to retire mer
from influence who did not get In
and play ball with the ring.
In 1913 an Investigation of these
things began and publication OF the
facts as disclosed lead to memora bic
battles In the campaign of 1914. Re-
publican officials held most all
the positions in the county and the
judiciary, they were nearly all dis
credited by the records and the
county central committee either
ignored all of the corrupt conditions
or actively defended the grafters and
maintained silence regarding those
upon whom the stain Of the brothel
rested.
The investigation, the disclosuses
and the publicity were conducted by
the Idaho Republican and matters
came to focus in q meeting of the
county central committee when it
was put up to them to play politics on
the square and in the open and in be-
half Of good government or to 60 on
doing business behind closed doors
and with the press representatives
barred from their meetings. The
committee chose the latter course
and were informed that that hour
was the parting of the ways and it
remained to be seen which was the
greater power in the county, the Re-
publican central committee or the
newspaper that was exposing corrup-
ton in the county government.
In the two campaigns, one to make
the nominations and one to make the
elections, the line of cleavage was
clearly drawn. The Republican COM
mittee tried to nominate and elect
a number of men with corrupt
records and the newspaper appealed
to the people to cut out every man
whose record was not clean and put
in new men. The Republican central
committee had the one advantage
that the newspaper opposing them
was Republican newspaper, seek
ing to elect Republicans to office in
sofar as Republicans could be en-
dorsed, but endorsing Democrats
where they were better timber than
The Republicans. With that kind of
division among them, the people
lined up to the support of those
endorsed by the news
paper, eliminated part of the corroput
at the primaries and the
rest of them at the polls.
In 1916 there was less division be-
:ween them, the newspaper endorsed |
some of the Democratic candidates, |
he people lined up according to the |
and advice of the news
PAPER and elected mixed ticket.
In the 1920 campaign there was
harmony between the Republican
central committee and the newspaper
poken of, a straight Republican
icket was elected and now since the
election it has been discovered that
me OF the department of the county
has not been we'll adj
but has been so grossly
that it would be un-
to permit it to 60 on. For
he past month the information has
cen passing out to the public, show
ag the intolera BILE conditions in the
SCISSORS office and the Republican
entral committee has not met either
, apply remedy or to repudiate the
fficer responsible for it. There is
ONE talk now of a meeting to con-
der matters and the public will be
lterested to see what they do.

POLITICS YIELDS TO SPIRIT OF ARDMORE,
GOES COVER THE TOP" GETS "OUT OF THE
RUT" AND ADOPTS NEW FORM GOVERNMENT

The citizens of the city of Ardmore
having recently voted to adopt what
Is known as the managerial form of
government. are naturally looking for
ward TO considerable advantage being
gained as the result of this election
While this movement has been felt by
the various cities over the union for
sometime. the movement had never
gained any momentum i'm the city of
Ardmorc until the organization here of
The local post of the American Legion.
This being a city i'm southern Oklaho-
ma where one party is in control the
movement was naturally looked upon
with suspicion by many of the members
Of the controlling party. They felt that
naturally il was the movement Of the
opposing party to get some hand in
tho government in as much as the
terms of the managerial form of govern
ment as adopted provide FOR "A non-par-
tisan election, but the members of the
American Legion. together with the
newly enfranchised women of the city
saw in This movement an opportunity
TO get together without consideration of
the various political ambitions and ac-
comIplish the thing that was best for
the city without regard to any par
ticular party. They all got out in Il
body and threw aside all the political
ond party jealousies and the vote as
cast was decided victory for the
people who sincerely hoped TO accom-
plish better things in city government.
As a result of all of this Ardmore
now feels that in the future the busi-
ness of the city is gsing to be con-
Quoted along business lines and that a
complaint against the city or u boost
for the city should be considered by
the citizens as a complaint or boost
against or for themselves. 1t is the
general feeling that by virtue of this
the people as whole are going TO take
personal interest in all of the affairs
Of the city and growing out of this
personal interest will result such CO.
operation as will enable the taxes and
bond money to be handled by business
men with the object of accomplishing
the real needs of the city without con-
Slutl illOIl vi ul.ig llis pollAl'sil bbIi1dNiNlo
and there is a general feeling among
the citizens that taking a personal in
terest in all the affairs of the city will
keep us closer together and in the end
the natural result will be consistent
working for the Things that make out
Of Ardmore a home for every member
of the family as well as n community
in which a living can be made among
friends and this will overcome the
party strife. ana the energy heretofore
spent TO combat can be continually
used for the upbuilding of the commun-
ity as a whole.
No manager has as yet been selected
as there are still several prescribed
forms of voting to be gone through be-
fore definite selection may be made. A
board of city commissioners to serve
under the managerial form of govern
ment is yet TO be elected.
The office of city manager Of Ard
more will be regarded by the citizens of
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-04-06

this city as the chief executive position
of mlge corporation. and Yhe affairs
of this city are expected to be conducted
on "A strictly business proposition Poll
tics are to be entirely eliminated as re-
CARDS the actual supervision of civic
affairs, and one main object will he
worked for--thc bcttcrment of local
conditions.
At the present time and indicative
of all future time, the citizens of Ard
more are taking an intense interest in
their civic affairs and are expressing
themselves as DESTROYS Of pointing at
an times To the worthy efforts of muni-
cipal pride. Realizing that Ardmorc is
Just beginning to grow, and that as
soon as unnecessary bonds are united
will grow by leaps and bounds, the citi-
Zcns of this city will cooperate in every
manner possible with the administra-
tion under the managerial form of gov
ernmcnt to bring about bigger and
better Ardmore, and make Ardmore the
queen city of Oklahoma, and one of the
leaders of the southwest.

Predicts that the Fruit
Crop for 1921 Will Be
the Largest in Years

lone Grove will harvest the
lagest fruit crop in years." said
Otis Coiiey, who is here today from
that city. Lone Grove is located
ten miles west Of ArdmOre in a
fine peach and berry portion of the
county. II has many fine orchards,
and Mr.. COIfey and other citizens
have examined the crop closely.
They find the uplands will make
almost "a full crop, they find the
bottom lands were hurt by the
freeze and to average up the dam.
age they are of the opinion that
the Lone Grove fruit belt Of Carter
county will maze a 80 per cent
yield of fruit.
A yield of 80 per cent will supply
this entire county and there will
be many ears for shipment TO other
points.
For many years The ArdmOreite
has quoted Mr.. COfley on the con-
dition of the fruit crop in the early
spring. and to our knowledge he
has never been deceived in his Opin.
ions and much credence can be Civ.

BRIDE IF M 'BR|DE;
 WHO IS SHE TO BE?

Second in discussion only to the call of the special session of the leg islature, was the talk at the state house yesterday concerning the all legged engagement of F. J. K. Me Bride. Although no name was linked with that of the secretary of the state corporation commission, there is every evidence that Mir. Mcbride eontemplates matrimony.
 A former assistant attorney gen. eral, MT. Mcbride is up on all points of law, yet he is known to have recently called up the office of the clerk of the court where marriage licenses are issued and to have ques- toned "Cupid' Bergman on the matter of securing licenses.
 Yesterday he received a parcel from the clerk which he opened in full view of his staff. It proved to be a copy of "The Honeymooners.' which is issued by the Clerks office to all who procure licenses.
 Who is it, is the question?
