Thomas Brooks Fletcher is al
man that perhaps most of you
never heard of until you read
that he is to appear on the pro-
gram of the Mo Valley Chau-
tauqua on Aug. 18TH. Never
theless let me tell you that he
is man who has "made good"
on the lecture platform al
though not starting at it until
last season. He has taken his
audiences by storm wherever
he has appeared and he is no
fad either that pleases for the
moment and is then cast aside.
He is a man who has something
to say. He has the oratolical
equipment for saying it and lie
says it with intense tragic ear
nestness and is a man of char
acter, ideals and determined
purpose. We miss our guess
nightly if, after, the assembly
is over you do not pronounce
Thomas Brooks Fletcher the
very best number on the pro-
gran.

Guthrie, April 24.-To drive the
Standard Oil company from the state
or force it to comply to every statute
that has been or may be enacted was
the ultimatum Of the statement made

Hard Fight Expected
in Senate--Lead bv
McCumber-Gcre
and Owen Busy

Washington, April 24.-Both sena.
tors Gore and Owen have promised to
do all in their power to rush the re-.
moval Of restrictions bill which has
passed the holse, through the senate
before adjournment,
That the opponents Of the bill, am
ong the latest of which are Davis Of
Arkansas, Allison Of Iowa, and Hale
Of Maine, will resort to all the tricks
known 10 the trade Of politician TO
defeat the bill is certain Aside from
the oral arguments and hearings be.
fore the senate committee which will
consume much time, other dilatory tae-
tics must be placated There are
some who believe that the bill will
never get out of the committee, but
this is a little far fetched. The op-
ponents to removal Of restriction leg
islation, will, however, doubtless seek
10 delay the bill in committee. This
is fayorite way Of killing bill
toward the close Of the session. There
are still two other means left to the
opposition, to deadlock the conference
committee in the event the senate and
house pass different bills, and to talk
the measure to death on the door Of
the senate.
It is said that Senator McCumher tf
North Dakota will lead in the fight to
kill removal of restrictions legislation,
and that he will have the support OF
all the oldtimers in his efforts to de-
feat the proposed bill The two sena-
tors from Kansas viii support him.
Curtis and Long are both powers in
the senate. and while they will not
pose as leaders in the fight against
the bill, and this for obvious reasons,
yet they will be in contest from start
to finish There will be a gum eha~
campaign and both will bear watching.
