Temple and Hastings. The objective
points were Chickasha and Oklahoma

"An Express reporter. thinking to
get an expression from Mr.. Allard, sec
retary OF the Commercial Club, as to
his intentions and views regarding re-
organization, learned the following in
ali interview had with him today
"Will you be candidate for secre-
tsry at the proposed reorganization

OF the unsatisfactory conditions Of the
past six months There is no sense
fof carrying on slipshod movement
in Chlciasha along city building lines.
There cannot come out Of two separate
and distinct organizations such as are
the Commercial Club and the Retail
Merchants Association the satisfac-
tory results that should be realized,
Much as the Commercial Club and the
Retailers Association have separate

been working together have brought
about many things for the good Of the
city that have gone glimmering.' The
two should work under one organiza-
tion. The Retail Merchants Associa-
ton has TO doubt been a medium of
much good to the business circles Of
the city, but it could accomplish more
along the line it is intended to were
Ii working In conjunction with the
Commercial Club, and on the other
hand the Commercial Club could, with
the undivided efforts OF all, accomplish
greater things than in the way It has
had to work the past eight months.

Have you held any thought Of late
OF being candidate for the secretary

in which would accept the secretary

organizations OF the city, pldege Of

~At the reorganization or annual
election for this years work about

ing in later sufficient to run the sum
total up tc $4,000. However, less than
