RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1911.

OKLAHOMA CITY REPUBLICANS NOMINATE J. FRANK WARREN.

Former Rensselaer Citizen Chosen to Head Ticket in Booming City of Southwest. J. Frank Warren, who went from Rensselaer to Oklahoma City some ten years ago, and at whose decision to remove from Rensselaer there widespread regret because of his universal popularity, has been nominated by the republicans of that great new metropolis as the candidate for mayor. The nomination was made at primary election and Mr. Warren, who had the endorsement of the citizen’s campaign committee,- won over two opponents, securing 1,639 votes to 839 for James S. Twyford and 209 for Hugh McAldie.

The democratic nominee is Whit M. Grant, who received 1,241 votes and had a close race with two or three opponents. There were about 50 per cent more votes cast at the primary for democrats than for republicans but the democrats are said to be largely split up and the republicans united. —————— While the chances of election would seem to be against Mr. Warren, there is still a possibility of his election. He is a splendid sample of Oklahoma citizenship, having gone there and invested his money when the city was getting its start and having put his shoulder to toe wheel of progress and helped to bring the city up to its present high standard. He n„s always been a busy man, always a worker and a thinker and a doer of things. From his earliest boyhood he has been a hustler. He procured an education because he was determined in spite of obstacles to get it and he has won success by constant endeavor, He served several terms as county school superintendent of this county and helped develop the schools by the most diligent application to his office. He became a partner with J. F. Irwin in the insurance and loan business and his work attracted such favorable attention as to secure for him the offer from a large money: loaning institution to go to Oklahoma City as their representative. He reluctantly left Rensselaer, but realized that his chances of growth were better in a large city and he knew that Oklahoma had a great future. He fell in love with his work there and whenever he came back to his old home he was profuse in his praises of the booming city and the growing state that had become his new home. It is a small compliment to say that he has succeeded there. His acquaintances here knew that he would succeed. With men of his makeup there :s no such word as fail. He set about his new w r ork w r ith confidence in himself and he grew along with the city and helped to make it grow. His name has been associated with many of the large enterprises of Oklahoma City and he is the same Frank Warren that» he w r as when he lived among us. Gets on the right side of things and stays on the right side and is square and honest and straightfor

ward and has ideas of his own that will lead to the establishment of better things wherever they are carried out. He is just the kind of man that Oklahoma; City needs for mayor and it will be a happy day for that city if he is chosen by the people for the office. He is not too partisan. He will not play politics if elected and he will not play politics to get elected. He will be just as good in defeat as in victory but he should be elected because he embodies the qualities that are so essential in a chief executive in a large city. There would be no graft tolerated by him. There would be no blinking at evasions of the law. There would be no fat sinecures for political pets. But the affairs of the city during his administration would, be clean and dignified just as his private business and his private and public life have always been. We are Roping that the people of Oklahoma City will have the discernment to recognize the embodiment of good in him and honor their city by placing him at its head.

RANSFORD STORE CLOSED ON DEMAND OF CREDITORS.

Stock to Be Invoiced Before Bankruptcy Proceedings are Instituted By Any of Them. . , - v . . ■ * E. V. Ransford’s 99-Cent Racket Store has been having financial difficulties for some time past and in a final effort to clean up his indebtedness the proprietor began a closing out sale several weeks ago. The creditors have been closing in all the time, however, and Mr. Ransford realized last week that he would be un'able to avert the crash. Monday representatives of many of the creditors met in Rensselaer and took the initial steps towurd throwing the proprietor into bankruptcy. None of the., men cared to take the initiative, however, and the store remained open until Thursday morning, when Mr. Ransford closed it voluntarily to permit an invoice of the stock to he made. It is understood that E. L. Hollingsworth, of the First National Bank, which institution is understood to be the heaviest creditor, is in charge by selection of other creditors and is superintending the invoice. There are said to be upwards of sixty creditors and that the liabilities will be between $14,000 and $15,000. The stock will probably invoice about SIO,OOO. The bankruptcy proceedings have not yet been instituted and will hinge upon the probability of insolvency following the invoice.

April 14, 1861—What Happened Fifty Years Ago Today.

Fifty years ago today the union troops evacuated Fort Sumpter according to the terms signed the evening before by Major Anderson. The decision was made after a bombardment of 34 hours and after fire had ragerl for some time and threatened to set fire to the powder stored in the casemates. The brave men had made a great struggle and they marcued out of the fort flying “Old Glory” and the band playing “Yankee Doodle.” Although President Lincoln did no,t issue his call for troops until April 15th, Governor Oliver P. Morton issued a proclamation on the 14th calling upon the patriotic men of the state to hold themselves in readiness for tli6 call. . Robert H. Milroy had been in Indianapolis and when the news reached Governor Morton that Fort Sumpter had been fired upon he at once started home, traveling all night and reaching Rensselaer before daybreak He procured a drum and went through the streets beating it vigorously. That was probably fifty years ago this morning. He at once enlisted a company of men. This organization became Company G of the 9th Indiana. The officers selected were: Robert H. Milroy, captain; Edwin P. Hammpnd, first- lieutenant, and Gideon C. Moody, second lieutenant. They hastened to report the organization to Governor Morton and the 9th Indiana was the first regiment to leave the state.
