That many more persons did not

SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES
FOR THE CONSTITUTION


s. W. Hayes returned yesterday
from a trip through the southwestern
part Of the state and he states that
he finds sentiment practically unani-
nous for the constitution Every
where I found democrats and republi-
cans alike strong for the constitution
and bitter in their denunciation Of the
policies that are being pursued by
the republicans to defeat statehood.
At one place / found a prominent cit
izen who had formerly been president
Of the republican club, who told me
that he was so disgusted with the tao
tics Of the opposition in his party
that he proposed to take part in the
depsocratic primary and vote the dem
ocratie ticket in the future. All the
southwestern counties in Oklahoma
will give a big majority for the con-
stituHcn.
Mr. HAYES IS greatly encouraged
over his own prospects, and IS conf
dent that he will land the nomination
for supreme judge in this district.

Discussing the statehood situation
Judge Holmes, who is republican
said: Il think the republicans. Of botl
territories should stand by the con

HARMONY LADIES QUARTET

The Harmony Ladies Quartette
will give two programs in our Chauy
tauqua this summer. Many Of our
people win remember the famous
Kirksmith sisters. With this new
organization will he found three Of
the Kirksmith sisters, Gertrude, Lii
liam and Maude. The new members
Of the company are Miss Alene Wool
sey and Daisy Higgins.
Ie is not an easy thing to conjure
up harmony; 50 many things in this
world are tout Of tune and harsh"
and they who can carry the concord Of
sweet sounds to the waiting or pass
ing throng are much and many times
blessed. Beautiful music is a syno-
nym Of harmony; voices in harmony
instruments in accord are surely beau
titul. Add to these grace Of person
and charm Of personality and desired
qualification for concert work is in
deed reached.
The Harmony Quartette company
is a combination Of vocal and instru-
mental artists which suggest this
qualification.

Campaigd Started at Meeting Last
Night ht-InvitatiOn for a Conven
ton Other Matters

Attendance at the Commercial club
meeting last night was small but the
business for the most part was routine
in character.
The most important proposition ad-
vanced was one brought up BY Presi-
dent Johns who advocated that cam
paign be start for the sale Of the un-
allotted lands of the Chickasaw Ma
tion. MY idea is that we should ap-
peal to all commercial bodies Of the
two territories for united action in
the matter said Mr.. Johns, "and we
should also address a memorial to the
President setting forth the facts and
conditions, and request him to make
recommendations for the necessary
Legislation in his rsessage to Con
gress.''
The proposition met with unanl-
nous favor. Speaking on it Mr.. Say
er said: "This is undoubtedly one Of
the best propositions that could be
taken up and it is high time to begin
an agitation in favor Of it. East Of
Chickasha there are acres and acres
Of unallotted lands where hundreds Of
families could be located if the lands
were sold. The homeseeker wants
land to which he can get good tt
tie and the country would settle VI
rapidly if these unallotted lands were
placed on the market. l think VIC
should also take the matter up witt
Mr.. Garfield, the new secretary Of in
terror"
Mr.. Ikard suggested that it would
be a good plan to call convention o.
representatives from the commercial
clubs Of the state to meet in Chicka
sha at some suitable time for con
eerted action on the proposition.
The plan is to advocate the sale O
the unallofted lands in tracts Of no
more than 100 acres toDactual set
Tiers; and motion was adopted in
structing the secretary to address
circular letter to the commercial bod
ies Of the state, inviting their coop
Grafton and also to forward the prope
memorial to Washington.
The packing house proposition wa
discussed at some length. DR.. Daw
son has taken an active interest in tn
matter and together with Mr.. Ikar
and Mr.. Ocheltree, he was appointe
on committee to take it UP with tn
proper parties. In this discussio
facts were brought up that show tina
Chickasha offers exceptional advar
tages for the packing industry,
. In connection with the proposition
Mr.. Potts again called the attentio
of the club to the necessity Of securin
tract Of land in order to offer site
for factory enterprises.
