Judge Williams and B. B. Bare
foot returned this morning from a
trip TO Baily and Rush Springs
where they went to SOW the seed of
democracy and assist in organizing
the democrats for battle. Speaking
of sowing seeds, there WASH t
much of that scrt of things neces-
sary in that district, for there is al
ready Dig crop Of democrats ripe
and ready TO cast their votes. At
Bailey an old timer said. "If there
is republican on this si6e of the
Creek, he hasn't let any body find
it out" There are.some republicans
at Rush Springs but they are
scarce.
The Chickasha missionaries went
to Bailey from NARROW in company
with Tom Wade. They found a
big crowd awaiting them and were
given a royal reception. Judge
Williams and Mr.. Barefoot made
rousiug speeches and Tom Wade
also spoke. There were other ora
tors and plenty of enthusiasm was
developed.
The party went to Rush Springs
last night where they spoke at the
opera house, the building being
packed. They bring good reports
of the activity of democrats along
the line.
