to do the right thing but often many
matters are overlooked and you don't
get any relief unless you ask for it,
Others also contributed to the discus
sion and the matter was referred to
the committee on transportation and
rates.
Mr.. Gilkey brought up the ques-
ton Of securing industry sidetracks
into the business district. Such
tracks were absolutely necessary for
the development Of wholesale inter
ests. He criticized the action Of form
er city councils in refusing to grant
franchises for such TRACKS. pr. Daw-
son said the entire trouble had been
that the good citizens who were in
favor Of granting such franchises
never appeared before the council to
press their demands ~hile the people
who were opposed to them invariably
appeared to man. Mr.. Sayer agreed
with DR.. Dawson. He thought the
council would grant anything for
which there was a united demand and
it was the duty Of good citizens to ap-
pear before that body whenever oc-
casion demanded. Mr.. Gilkey wants a
sidetrack up 10 his Wholesale hard
ware house and it was the general
opinion that he should have it. The
matter was referred 10 the committee
on manufactures.
Rev. w. W. Carithers, who is in
terested in the anti-cigarette league
presented his cause and received the
endorsement Of the club.
Mayor venable brought up the
proposition Of establishing a cream
cry, but It was the general opinion
that conditions were not ripe in this
country for tackling this proposition.
Mr.. Potts and others made talks
along the general lines of CONNER
cal club activity and concerted action
in the Development Of the city, Other
matters we're also discussed in a
business-lixe way. The meeting was
enthusiastic from beginning to end

APOSTLE ASP SPRINGS HIS
SURPRISE ON CONVENTION

Guthrie, Okla, March 6-After
playing politics persistently for four
months on every proposition consid-
cred in the constitutional convention,
Henry E. Asp, republican delegate
from Guthrie and chief counsel for
The Santa Fe railroad in Oklahoma,
yesterday played a final. trump in his
game Of political buncombe by offer
ing as a constitutional proposition, "A
Complete Constitutional for the State
Of Oklahoma which in reality is but
a hollow imitation Of the splendid
character Of democracy which the ma
jority Of the convention has now prac-
ticaIly completed.
Nine-tenths Of the proposed consti-
tuition is taken literally from provi-
sions that have already been consider
ed and adopted BY the convention and
the remaining tenth is matter that
will be absolutely Objectionable to the
people Of the proposed new state.
The most important feature elimi-
mated BY the Asp production is the
initiative and referendum. His "COm-
plete Constitution" when compared
with the one in process Of cOnstruc-
tion, appears as a corpse. The spirit
o. the initiative and referendum which
breathes life into every section Of the
document being prepared BY the
democratic majority is wanting in
the Asp constitution and its absence
makes the entire instrument faseo.
On almost every subject the Asp

constitution starts out brayely in
language adopted by the democratic
majority, but it invariably stops just
short Of the provisions that will make
the entire clause effective.
The new constitution was offered
by Mr.. Asp during the morning ses-
sion Of the convention and he asked
permission that the proposition might
be printed under the direction Of the
convention, but at the expense Of the
republican members.
Hayes and Kornegay both opposed
allowing the republican members to
foot the printing bill and as the mat
ter provoked debate President Muir

And Other Good Things Commercial
Club Room Packed Many
New Faces.

The most conspicuous feature Of
the Commercial club meeting last
night was the appearance Of a large
number Of new faces, among them
some who had never before attended
such a meeting and others who rarely
come. There wasn't space enough in
the club rooms to accommodate the
crowd and it is evident that larger
quarters will soon become necessary
and in fact are needed now. The
membership committee through B. B.
Bridges reported that the roll had
been increased to us and was still
growing. Secretary Stephens said it
would reach 400. 1t was a represen-
tative gathering last night, ineIud-
ing the best citizens Of Chiclasha, old
and new members Of the club.
Vice President Bridges presided
during the first part Of the meeting,
Mr.. Russell being necessarily absent.
The first matter taken up was re-
ports 81 committees. MI. Potts re-
ported for the cotton mill committee,
stating that the committee was still
in correspondence with parties rela-
tive to financing the proposition. Con-
tinuing he said, q think we have all
the data that We need relative to the
matter and the time has now come
for US to organize a company, secure
site and begin to do business. We
might meet and talk about It fey the
next year, but unless we got down ia
actual business, start company and
sell the stock nothing will be accom-
plishedD Mr.. Sayer said, II think
We would have no trouble IN selling
the stock, provided we can get an ex-
perienced manager, a man who under
stands the business in every dtail
and in whom we would have entire
confidence. The success Of the enter
prise would depend entirely upon the
management and I think We should
first secure the right man for this po-
sition.." T" Mr. WoOtten agreed with
Mr. Sayer, Get good manager.
said he, "ani the question 81 secur-
ing labor and all the other details will
come out all right After fgythtr
discussion, the committee was bi-
strueted to continue its work.
DR.. Dawson, Of the Baptist univer-
sity committee reported good progress
made BY the committee but the mat
ter was not in shape to be given pub
licisy.
The next important matter taken
up was the establishing of traffic
baraau, for the purpose Of securing
fair freight rates and checking
freight bills Mr.. R. K. Wootten mgds
