dents OF the Eckert vicinity met and

organization.
]. E. Shelledy was elected presi-
dent of the new body; Elias Wenger.
vice president; Hiram Burritt. secre-
tary; and A. c. Tinsley, treasurer.
Mr.. Burritt, secretary, makes the
following statement in regard to the
club: 1T will be the purpose of this
club to do all in its power to protect
our home people as we'll as the gener-
al public, from being imposed upon by
those dishonest, fly-by-night specu-
lators and promoters who are invari-
ably attracted to any section where
oil drilling operations are com
menced. We will be glad to give in.
terested parties all the information we
may have relative to the oil situation
in this section.
"The club, however, does not intend
to confine its activities to this line

democratic ticket today, returns from
357 of the states 1910 precincts at

President Coolidge 5 to 1.
Senator La Toilette polled light

porters in attempting. to write. their
preference, invalidated their ballots
through writing the name of their ia
vorite instead of that of one of the
electors. The figures were: Davis Al

2.254. Senator Ransdell and the eight
democratic representatives were with
out opposition.

jority. Returns from the state indi-
