MORE PRAISE FROM
J|M'S COLLEAGUE
Congressman Fulton in Midst Of
Campaign for Reelection Stops
to Urge Davenport's Lection

Sapulpa, Okla. Oct. 28.-When the men
who have worked shoulder to shoulder
with a man come out and say in the
strongest Of. terms they again desire to
work side by side with him in the further
interest Of Oklahoma. il isindeed surety
of the worth of the worker. Already
Congressman Ferris and Congressman
Carter have through the press shown their
praise and appreciation Of the work OF
Jim Davenport; and now with the permis-
sion of Mr.. C. E. Bush Of Tulsa, Okla. we
present private letter written by Congress
man Fulton, urging his old friend Mr..
Bush to do all he can for Honest jim.
When it is remembered that Congress-
man Fulton is himself actually engaged in
a campaign to retain his seat in congress,
comes out and takes such an interest in
the election Of Mr.. Davenport. it will be
doubly appreciated by all democrats:
The following is a letter received from
Congressman Fulton:
Oklahoma City, Okla. 9-2S-O6.
Mr. C. E. Bush. Tulsa. Okla
Dear SIR While am extremely busy
campaigning, cannot help but note with
pleasure the work that is being done by
the democrats Of the third congressional
district to return for full term in con-
gress. my colleague. Hon. JAS S. Daven-
port, Of Vinita. The Oklahoma delegation
would certainly suffer a great loss if Mr.
Davenport were defeated this fall. Last
session Mr.. Davenport showed his worth
and ability as working member by con-
stant and untiring efforts on,behalf of the
measures which the delegation put through
for the benefit of the third district and
the state of Oklahoma Especially where
his services of greatvalue in the Removal
of Restrictions" bill, which was finally
passed after long struggle with the In
terror department. 1t should be indeed,
political misfortune to have a Carpet
bag clerk in the Indian Agency to succeed
man of affairs like James s. Davenport
hope you viii find time to take part
in the canvas. and trust that when the
votes are counted on November third,
Mr.. Davenport will be found 20 have a
larger majority than he had last September

Murphy was hurried up town for two Har-
lem meetings.
Six meetings in Brooklyn---the principal
one at Clermont avenue rink---brought the
days work to close. Although he had
had but two hours sleep out of forty-eight
Mr. Bryan spoke with all his characteristic
vigor and good humor.
In all Of his speeches yesterday, MIR.
Bryan warned the workingmen against
traitors among them. He asserted that
every laboring man who voted the republic
can ticket would vote to repudiate the
things that labor demanded in the Denver
platform. He held up Mr. Taft as the
enemy Of labor. and assailed him and
President Roosevelt at every opportunity.
Mr.. Bryan references to the guarantee of
bank deposits brought shouts Of approval
at all his meetings.
Lieutenant Governor Chanler shared
everywhere in the welcome accorded Mr..
Bryan.
la his principal Brooklyn speech, de-
livered at the rink, Mr.. Bryan first dis
cussed publicity of campaign cOntribu-
tions.
The people have been cheated, the
voters betrayed" he said, because the
republican organization has given the
promise in advance that the people shall
pay back through legislation the money
that has been contibneed.

ARKANSAS PLAYS
OKLAHOMA FRIDAY
SOoners Somewhat Alarmed Over
Prospects Because Men Are not
Rounding Into Condition

Norman, Okla, Oct. 28-Benjamin
Owen, for the past four years football
coach of the University of Oklahoma, en-
tertains some doubt as to the result Of the
game Friday with the Razorbacks from
the University at Arkansas,
At Lawrence, in the game with the
Jayhawkers, Coach Owen played the same
men during the entire game, while the
Kansas lineup contained eight new men.
This accounts for the defeat of the Soon
ers. AT Manhatten it seems the Sooners
wanted to get revenge for their defeat on
the Saturday before, and from the start
of the game against the Aggies the Okla
homans played their best. 1t will be re-
membered that about three weeks ago
the Jayhawkers defeated the Aggies by a
score IL to 6, and according to the do
pester's figures, Oklahoma being 33 to 0,
has a better aggregation than Kansas. X.
u. has been a hoodoo for the Oklahomans
for the past five five years that the
schools have been rivals Three year ago
the Jayhawkers won the game, "a to U
two years ago. 20 to a; last year, is to 0;
and this year II to O,
From year to year the Sooners are
climbing up in the football world, and II
the scores decrease for the next three
years in proportion to the past four years.
Oklahoma will be far superior to Kansas.
Oklahoma's coach, who played quarter
back for the Jayhawkers several seasons,
assistant coach under the famous Hurry
Up" Yost at Michigan, coach for the
Terrible Swedes' in Kansas is making a
remarkable record as coach in the South
west. 1t has been shown in the past
three years that he is able to develop a
good football team out Of the poorest ma-
terial.
The game Friday with the Razorbacks
win be ono Of the hardest struggles ever
fought on the local gridiron. There are
two reasons for this statement The two
teams are evenly matched, ranking about
the same as a team: the other is that the
two schools are bitter rivals. In fact, the
rivalry has been so intense that all athletic
relations were cut off until this year. A
few year ago when the Oklahoma football
team went to Fayetteville where the Uni
versity of Arkansas is located.it is claim
ed that bad treatment was given to the
players and stones were thrown at the
Sooners when in the game. But all that
old trouble win be forgotten when the
Razorbacks come here. If Oklahoma wins
the game it will be through fair meth
cd.
This week the SoOners are undergoing
a hard practice both in signals and scrim-
mage w0rk. The coach will introduce
several new formations. and if the team
takes to them he viii have them tried in
the Arkansas game. The Sooners are in
a crippled condition and it is probable
that several of the men will enter the
game not in the pink of condition.
