DEMPSEY STUDIES
GOLF IN EUROPE
Curious Crowds Bother Him
on Links in This Country,
So He Goes to Land
of Origin

CHICAGO.-The real reason for Jack
Dempsey's trip to Europe is golf. ac.
cording to one of his friends, who was
instrumental in leading the champion
pugilist to the links for his first days
chance with the Scotch pastime.
Dempsey has been trying to get as
good wallop at a golf ball as he has
mastered in the squared circle, but
every time he appears at thu first tee
to try his strength on the wee pellet
such crowd of c'nious persons gather
around that the fistic champion never
gets fair chance to subdue the game
Of the links. In one OF his first at.
tempts at golf Dempsey went IS holes
with Georges Carpenter, also a novice.
and according to reports It was much
more interesting counter than the two
champions had later in the arena, but
not so decisive. The Frenchman seemed
to have the better Of the Utahan in IS
holes, although he could not ward off
defeat through so many rounds when
1t came to fisticuffing
And from that time on Dempsey has
been able to do to golf ball only what
he does to a ring opponent-beat 1t up
numerically. He thinks his strength
rightly applied out to drive the pill half
mile, and so, say his friends. he has
sought the soil Of Europe to try to learn
golf proficiency.

GRESHAM gets
IN RACE FOR
TAX ASSESSOR
Appeal is Made to Women
Voters by Former Busi-
ness Man of Ardmore;
He Is Democrat

There is going to be warm opposition
In at least one county race--that of tax
assessor. This developed Saturday
morning when r. r. ("Shorty') Grisham
came forward with his official an
nouncement.
Mr.. Grisham has been, identified with
the life Of Carter county for many
years, having been in business in Ard.
nore since 1904.
Tin his announcement Mr.. Grisham
does not overlook the fact that the
woman's vote is going to count for
much In the coming elections, and a
section of his appeal is addressed to the
women voters.
Following is Mr. Grisham's announce.
ment:,
To the Voters Of Carter County:
I'm making my announcement to
the voters Of Carter county for the Of
flee of tax assessor on the Democratic
ticket.
First / want the office for the salary
as I need it and can use 1t very nicely
Second, know l can please the pub
lie as have been a merchant OF Ard
more since 1904. On March IL / sold
out to my creditors.
My Democracy can not be questioned
by those who know me.
I earnestly ask your vote and influ
ence at the primary on August 1.
To the lady voters Of Carter county
I appeal to you most especially for youi
vote and support.

Runners on Mex
Border Smuggle
" Bootleg Diamonds

DALLAS, Texas.-Booze, dope and
diamonds, cheap in European coun-
tries, very expensive in the United
States are the products Of the hardy
bands Of smugglers and border runners
who match wits with the federal agents
Of the southwest.
For years the agents have known
OF the booze and dope rings which
use the border ports and the Rio
Grande to give them entrance into this
country.
1t was just lately discovered that the
diamond smugglers were also using the
Mexican border for their operations.
So carefully have they run" the un-
cut and loose diamonds across the
border that not until few days ago
did the federal agents get track OF
them. Now federal agents here declare
that thousands Of dollars worth of dia.
monds have been brought over the bor-
der and passed through the "fenses'
TO the smuggling centers In the eastern
cities. Agents say that the traffic
has been going on for years.
Operations Of the Diamond snug
glers are much the same as that of
dope smugglers. They use many In.
genious devices to get the stones
through. Like dope. diamonds can be
secreted in a small space and the fed
eral authorities face a most difficult
problem in discovering the hiding places
used by the smugglers.

Platform Based on Record
in Office on Former Term
and Law Enforcement Is
Keynote of Candidacy.

Judge w. F.. Freeman. who six or
seven years ago made splendid record
as judge in this judicial district is
staging a come back" and his an
nouncement which appears today car.
ries the string Of fight in it--he is out
to win.
Briefly, he refers 10 his campaign
promises Of 1914 on which he was elect.
ed! the records stand In the court
clerks office for themselves. 1t is on
a similar platform that he is making
the race now.
Judge Freeman is one of the county's
Oldest and most Influential citizens, he
having been in the public eve much of
the time since coming to Ardlnore.
Since his retirement from the judges
bench he has been practicing law at
1864 West Main street, and his ellen
tele has been scattered over the county
Following is his statement:
To the People of Carter County:
In 1914 you elected me to the office
Of district judge in this judicial district
on the declaration that There can be
no civic advancement without the en-
forcement of all laws" Upon that dec
laration was based the promise that
"In order to secure this civic advance
ment I shall enforce all the laws II
elected to that judicial position"
fulfilled that promise, and the record
made as your district judge is the plat
form upon which I now base my candi
dacy for district judge
Those Of you who really desire thu
enforcement OF the law, I most respect
fully solicit your support.
Keep Record Straight.
Relative to Mr.. Moore's claim to thu
unanimous endorsement Of the Ardmor,
bar, the following are the facts:
The two daily papers Of our city, tn,
Daily Press and The Ardmoreite, oil
the goth and 21st, respectively, carried
the statement that the Ardmore ba
had unanimously endorsed J. B. Moor
as its candidate for district judge TO
this judicial district. The facts in con
nection with that bar meeting are:

body was called to order by T. b. Orr.
and G.. A. Coakley was nominated and
elected chairman and T. b. Orr secre-
tary.
j. Il. Williams arose and stated that
the object of the meeting was to en-
dorse the candidacy of someone for dis
trict judge. This was the first knowl
edge that and many others had Of
what was to be done.
w. d. Potter arose and suggested that
he had but very short notice of the
meeting. was unfamiliar with it's pur-
pose and no doubt many others were in
the same position, and in order that all
might have time and opportunity to
consider the matter and satisfy them
selves as to who wanted the endorse.
ment and who was best suited for the
place, he suggested and moved that the
meeting stand adjourned for one week
to give opportunity to everyone who
might feel interested. Judge West and
J. B. Moore differed from Mr.. Potter in
the matter and insisted that action be
taken now.
Judge Brett advised the meeting that.
in his opinion, such action on the part
of the bar was i'll advised and wrong;
that the bar had no right to say to the
people who should be the candidate for
district judge. and that. in his opinion
that the people would repudiate such
action on the part Of the bar.

At this point / arose and stated to
the bar members present that I would

have the endorsement of every member
of the bar, would take my candidacy
