TX Alfalfa Bill Murraw, OF Okla
~ homa, has been declared the
greatest character and grandest orator
tof this CONVENTION. You can hear his
voice in every part Of the Brown Pal
ace Hotel at any time OF the day OF
might.
Usually he is talking about the OK
lahoma Constitution. Whenever an
Oklahoma man opens mis- mouth II Is
TO say something about that Constitu-
ton. They have worn out several OF
the steps on the main stairway already
talking about 1t to the crowd on the
floor. Alfalfa Bill presided over the
convention that drew 1t up, and one
OF the things that makes him mad Is
the impression some folks have got
that the Constitution mandate that no
bedsheets in hotel shall be under
nine feet in length was put in as a
joke.
II wrote that myself" explained Bill
"and tell You 1t is not Joke. You see.
the hotels in our State used quilts, and
YOU could not tell whether quilt had
been on bed one day or thirty-siS
days. Now. you all know the germ
theory. Under this law fellow pulls
1.-the covers up over his head, he
breathes into sheet, and that sheet
has got to be changed before another
fellow occupies that bed. That shows
how Oklahoma cares for Its citizens.
jeff Davis, of Arkansas, has arrived
and the fear that this was to be a
convention of mealymouths has disap-
peared with his appearance. jeff is
not a delegate, because he was licked
at the primaries in his State, but he
will respond to any call that may be
made to him to help out Adam Dixon
Warner. Of California, and .tlle other
orators of the hotel lobbies The Ar
kansas Senator brought with him his
suit of butternut clothes and the stick
which his rival took away from him
in that little mix-up in Little Rock
when JEFF got punched. In order to
get his stick back. jeff was compelled
to undergo the ignominy OF giving the
man who took 1t away a receipt for
it, Some Of his Southern opponents
have been cruel enough to say that
Jeff's name is not Jefferson at all but
that he was christened Jeffress, and
that he has tried to add to his political
capital by change of name.

here because am looking into the
faces of men who are interested in
this waterways question.
Let me say to you, gentlemen, that
of all the great questions that are
confronting you in the development
of your resources in this growing,
splendid commonwealth of North Da-
kota, there is no question, no indust-
rial matter, to which you can pos
sibly address yourselves of such vital
Importance as this question of trans
portation. 1t is the great overshad-
owing industrial question in Ameri-
ca today.
Incomprehensible figures.
We have come to be the greatest

further fact that the area or produc-
ton of almost any commodity in this
country Is remote from the area OF
consumption of that commodity, and
what do we have? Why, the Inter-
state commerce commission tells us
that rs per cent of the created wealth
in this country every year becomes
interstate commerce, crosses state
lines, and what do we do? what
does it mean? Why, it means the

The Interstate commerce, by that I
mean the moving of commodities
from one section of country to an
other, from one community to anoth-
