There are siXty-fve members in the
county and five medal contests have
been given during the year. Three
boot-legger trials have been enforced
in that county through the influence
of the w. C. T. U. Mrs. Hammett
took the occasion to remark that she
believed that the model town in the
state was in Kingfisher county. That
during her visit to Dover she was told
that there were no boot-leggers or
pool rooms in the town; that there
were more Sunday school scholars
and church members in proportion TO
the population than in any other town
in the state.
Kay county was represented by Mrs.
Gross, who reported $4l0 raised during
the year and an enthusiastic band of
workers.
Tulsa county was represented by
Mrs. Lila ID. Lindsay, who reported
eighty-two members in the county,
with six unions. Just here the con-
vention hall got in a very evident
state of excitement and those who
were not acquainted with the nature
Of the disturbance were looking
around and nudging their neighbors TO
see if they could get an explanation.
The explanation was not long coming
it was a man!
In justice to the W. G. +. T., 1t
must be confessed that it was no or
dinary man, who could so steal their
thoughts from the County Presidents
report, but a man who represented
many of their principles-Mr. Rough
of Guthrie, the prohibition nominee
for governor.
Mr.. Rough expressed his pleasure at
being present. Il am glad to be
member of the W. c. T. u" he stated,
Il am glad to belong TO an organiza-
ton made up of purity. | never saw
man wear a bow OF white ribbon
that I wouldn't trust--I hope that aft
er November the eight women can
vote"
lie then related a personal eXper' !
fence he had at the Ardmore depot, !
with a friend who questioned MIN IN !
regard 10 the white ribbon.
Rev Mosely of the Presbyterian
church at Durant was introduced and
aked to make few remarks. Mr. |
Mosely remarked that he had always
heard that wherever the ladies were !
we had Rough on hand and We |
need Rough on hand" The Sons /
Of Washington were the subject OF /
few acrimonious remarks.
Are you sleeping" he asked. |
Arouse and get busy. The proposed /
resubmission amendment is the most |
iniquitous I ever read in my life. II |
must not be added to our constitution.
If you're not careful it will be there.
If read the signs Alright the battle
is lost unless we get to work. It was
born in the brain OF man who would
destroy the manhood and womanhood |
of our commonwealth"
The name Of Hon. G. f. Rough was
then presented for life membership !
and unanimously voted in the affirma-
tive.

Presidents reports.
