INDIANS GREET
MANY SPORTSMEN

LAWTON, Okla, Oct. 12.-Braves in
blankets and tame Indians in store
clothes and tailored suits took part in
the ovation which Lawton gave today
to the visitors gathered from all over
the country for the annual session of
the League of American Sportsmen
and Game Protective association. OFF,
cial delegates appointed by governors
OF nearly all states are among the in
vaders.
For months Lawton has been pre-
pairing to entertain the visiting sports
men, and the program arranged for
the week includes Indian dances, drills
by United States cavalry, broncho
busting and other Wild West con-
tests, and wolf hunt led by Marshal
Abernathy, who catches 'em alive"
In addition, there will be banuuets
and receptions and other politel at
tentions by which the people of Law
ton will show their guests that they
are not altogether lacking in the re-
finements of civilization.
The important business of the ses-
sion will be in devising plans whereby
the activities of game hogs" who
threaten to depopulate the mountains,
forests and streams, will be further
decreased. The league has gone on
record as sternly opposed to the wan
ton slaughter of wild animals, birds
and fish and will continue it's efforts to
secure stringent laws regulating hunt
ing and fishing in the various states.
Officials of the league report that eff
forts in this direction during the, last
few years have been highly successful.
It is declared that the wholesale kill
ing Of insect-eating birds has cost the
farmers of the country millions of dol
lars.

Great Audience Greeted
Democratic Orators Saturday

Hon. George Fred Williams, of Mas
sachusetts. which introduction was
the sigf1nal for a veritable pandemo-
MUM which held sway for several
moments. and prevented the speaker
from opening his speech. Mr.. Will
liams is man of proposing appear
ance, with remarkably fine bearing,
and with deep penetrating voice
which, while not raised in tone,
reached every part of the house in a
clear cut, distinct manner.
In opening his talk, the speaker
told of how he, together with one
other young man, was associated with
Pdesident Roosevelt years ago in
working for needed reforms in New
York state; how Roosevelt had chosen
to identify himself with the dominant
party, was elected to first one position
of honor; then another, until finally he
graced the executive chair in the
White House. Then, tending to show
that the man in charge of the greatest
nation on earth had been controlled
by undue forces, Mr.. Williams related
the story of how Teddy had been the
only president since the days of the
Father of His Country who had
stopped so low as to disgdaca his po-
sition and the patriotic principles of
the office by STOPPING SO low as to
engage, in petty ward politics and en-
deavor to dictate to his constituents
who should be his successor in Office.
Mr.. Williams argued hat, although
Roosevelt had not violated the sacred
precedent established by George,
Washington. that no president should
be elected to the third term, his ac-
ton in attempting to gain the election
of Taft was paramount to a re-elec-
ton OF himself Confining himself more
to national issues, Mr.. Williams told
of the recent panic, its causes and its
cure explaining to his auditors the
mode of the banks in carrying large
credit" deposits, and picturing the
great "pipe-line" system, by which the
deposits Of the smaller banks of the
country were carried east, and were
employed by the great financial institu-
tions of New York and Chicago in
CARRYING on the vast operations in
Wall street.
Frequent applause greeted Mr.. Will
liams' remarks, and it was easily to-
be seen that never before in the vast
expanse of years during which the re-
publican party has been in power, has
there been such a sentiment favorable
to the Peerless leader" whose motto
is "Shan the People Rule?" In refer
ring to Mr.. Bryan, the mention of
whose name brought down the house"
Mr.. Williams took occasion to tell of
some of the things which he would
NOT do. if elected to the presidency.
Each action which Mr.. Bryan would
not do was a direct jolt of President
Roosevelt, who has done many unwar-
ranted and unheard- of things, and
that Teddy has lost his place of Sc
curity in the hearts of his countrymen
was at once apparent.
During the meeting the campaign
quartet. led by Guy Allen Turner. gave
two well-received selections, the first
of which was an original number en-
