DEHOCRATIC BOWS McDonough Charges Rival With Extravagance While Mayor Attorney P. F. McDopough, dem- ocratic nominee for mayor, point- ed his campaign guns directly at his| opponent, George A. Quigley, last| night, and fired a charge that Quis- | ley was the most extravagant and wasteful mayor in the history of] New Britain, that he had doubled | the costs of government in six years, | and retired from office leaving “the | city groaning under the debts and | obligations he had imposed.” Candidate McDonough spoke to gathering of more than 300, most women, at democratic headquarters in the Erwin hotel on Main street. Makes Extravagance Charge After a preliminary discussion on organization work, and an expres- sion of appreciation for the turn- out, Attorney McDonough sai “And now a little about the cam- paign: “Be sure to watch the newspapers during this campaign, it's going to be amusing.

That other night, at a rally, I read from the New Britain Herald a statement Quigley that he would take drastic steps to cut taxes, that he would| hang out the ‘to let’ sign on city hall offices if necessar: I refer to the Herald of March 21.

WENAGING GUSHER SPOUTS UNGHECKED Fiforls at Throtfling Fail— Gountryside in Terror of Fire Oklahoma City, April 1 (P—Defy- ing man's puny efforts to restrict its towering strength, the Mary Sudik No. 1, wild oil gusher of the Okla- homa City field, today hurled a con- stant menace of thousands of bar- | rels of oil hundreds of feet into the ir. All suggested precautions were being taken against the possibility | of an outbreak of the grim terror of | the oil fields, fire. Swept on the wings of a 30-mile gale, petroleum | 1aden spray from what is termed the largest sweet, high gravity well in the world yesterday showered over the country side to the north of the gusher. Gravity of the situation was | lessened somewhat during the night when the wind lessened. Fire Would Mean Disaster A sudden flame of flame, igniting the oil, would carry disaster and tremendous loss to the citizens of Oklahoma City, who after years of effort finally have proved that an extensive pool of “liquid gold” lies at their door. The Oklahoma City pool discov- ery well blew in December 4, 1328, marking the opening of what is classed as the largest pool in the Oklahoma area. The huge natural reservoir was tapped at a. depth of 6.400 feet, after numerous tests, drilled to usual and considerably lesser depths, met with failure. As a result of yesterday’s high | wind, housewlves in south Oklahoma City were warned to close the win- dows of thefr homes.
