LOCATES IN
CHICKASHA
Prominent Lawyer And
State Senator Comes to
Queen Of WaShita

Senator Frank Mathews of Greer
county has become a resident Of Chick
asha and is opening law offices over
the Daily Express AS a lawyer,
statesman and citizen, he is a man
whom any community might covet and
Chickasha is fortunate in adding him
to her citizenship roll.
Here is what the Mangum Sun-Moni-
tor said Of Mr. Mathews this week:
Frank Mathews, lawyer and states
man, has left Mangum and Greer coun-
ty and taken up his residence in Chick
asha. He took his final departure
Tuesday after casting his vote at the
general election. Mr. Mathews has
been an honored resident and citizen
of Greer county for nearly twenty
years and no man ever stood higher
in the estimation of the people, and
no man was such a vote getter at
elections in Greer county as Frank
Mathews. He served several terms
as county attorney and several as leg
islator in territorial days, and repre-
sented Greer county in the upper
house of Oklahoma's first state legisla-
ture, making an excellent record as a
bold and fearless fighter He did the
state good service in the legislature
and his constituents should have shown
their appreciation by insisting that
he be a candidate for reelection, but
this they failed to do. They waited
for him to announce himself as a can
didate and that he did not do. Greer
county lost one of her ablest and best
citizens when Senator Frank Mathews
left. He remarked before leaving, how
ever, that he reserved the right to
come back If later he should so de-
eide, in which event Greer county will
open her arms to him and kill the
fatted calf
"Mr. Mathews will open a law office
in Chickasha, which town he believes
has a great future before 1t. and viii
later probably be heard from in a
political way from that quarter.
Good bye, Frank; come back home
when you get ready. The door will
not be barred and the latch string will
always hang outside for you"
