My Dear Sir:
A few weeks in this climate is
great restorer to the tired frame and
if one could prolong the stay until
/ the middle OF September, the return
! to the southern home would rot et-
| feet the recreation had here. | shall
start tomorrow homeward bound
reaching there Monday, the 9Th, stop
ping en- route at Guthrie and Okla
homa City. Climate or no climate,
| | am homesiak as to me, there is
/ no place like nome and there is, no
home like ArdmOre.
Without stay up here, one can
form no idea of the number OF Okla
/ honans and Texans frequenting this
resort and for no other reason than
relief from the extreme heat, more
or less felt in their own locations.
Ardmore is well represented here,
| in fact. from every section, started
| to say community, of our state, you
meet our citizens. Replying to In
ouiries where this or that one is
| from, you will hear on all sides, in
a tone of voice so emphatic and clear
as if afraid of being mis- Understood
from Oklahoma And there at once
| begins the chat of home and sta q IN
! LANGUAGE. while homespun, yet elo-
quent with domestic and patriotic
/ sweetness.
1t does us all good to look upon
! Lee CruCr, who is here living the
same quiet and unobtrusive life that
| has always characterized his move
ments among his home people. He

much improved as to be very gratiry-
! ing to all of us witnessing his nap

has always been in the "limelight
OF his own community, and in that
of all Oklahoma for four strenuous
years and it can be with unquaiihed
truth stated. tlat his conduct and de-
pertinent in every respect has leen
an antisecptic against the impurities
often found in men generally. In
stinctively decent he is univers ally
clean and he will meet the public eX-
pectation as governor in d way thai
will charm the highest moral sense
of our people and will bring in aid
of his administration an executive
ability. stimulated by a personal In
tegrity that will continue Oklahoma
both brilliant and progressive among
the sisterhood of states.
From Ardmore he halls, but the
citizenship of Ardmore, the pride c.
Carter county, in a spirit of gener-
Gus patriotism have given him to the
state. we'll believing that he will
serve it in such a way that when he
returns to his home people he Will
resume his old place among them
and enjoy with them the happy con
seriousness that public chasity has
been to him a public trust and that
