Oklahoma City, Okla.-There will

Gratis The democratic organization
in Oklahoma carefully screwed down
the lid to prevent the success of any
boiling party when Oklahoma be-
came a state. This fact is not gener-

or else as an independent. He is
precluded under the law from filing

FINE MILITARY DISPLAY.
Panama Exposition to Feature En-
campment of SOldiery.

San Francisco.-That the military
display of the 1915 universal exposi-
tion at San Francisco will be one of
its great features is evidenced by the
interest the United States government
and the various states are taking in
arranging for the encampment of
their soldiery on the exposition
grounds.
Word has been received that the
second Pennsylvania regiment, one of
the famous organizations of the east,
will be sent here to participate in the
exposition. Massachusetts will send
its crack regiment, as will also the
state of New York. The United
States government plans to bring it's
troops now stationed at the Preside
to its maximum strength and the reg
ulars will be used for all ceremonies
during the progress of the exposition.

APPRECIATE RECEPTION
Visiting Elks Send Words of Thanks
for Treatment Received Here
Sunday, July =.

To show the impression made upon
visiting Elks by the local order in
entertaining them Sunday, July Z,
we print here a letter from a San
Francisco brother to Ashland lodge.
The San Francisco lodge had a full
train and the company included
band and drill team, both of which
made the streets of Ashland merry
for a time on the occasion of their
stop here. Both band and team
marched from the depot to the Elks
building and gave several selections
of music and splendid drill in front
OF the building. The San Francisco
train, as previously reported, as well
as three others that passed through
here on that date, was met by auto
mobiles and the visitors given a riue
over the city. This courtesy was
highly appreciated, as the letter tes-
titles. The local lodgemen are doing
some splendid advertising for Ash
land in the distribution of souvenir
postcards, stamped and ready for
mailing, each card bearing a like
ness of the magnificent building
here. Ten thousand of these are be-
ing distributed. Trainloads of Elks
returning from Portland by the
southern route are being met and
entertained daily by the local lodge
men. A full train of Cincinnati and
New Jersey Elks passed through
here Friday, while two trains came
through Saturday, one of them be-
ing mixed train of Texas, New Mex
leo and Arizona members. The Linn
tied on Saturday carried a special
section loaded with Elks from vari-
Gus points. The letter referred to
above follows:
Portland, July -, 1912.
| Secretary Ashland Lodge, 944, B. p.
o. E.
Dear Sir and Brother: On behalf
of the San Francisco delegation
want to thank your lodge for the
very handsome reception you gave
us last Sunday afternoon. We en-.
joyed ourselves hugely and the main
regret was that we could not stay
longer. We could easily have spent
three days on the trip, instead of q
few hours.
If your local papers gave a notice
of it, ! would be glad to have you
forward them to me in Humboldt
Bank building, San Francisco, and
will read them to the brothers who
were not fortunate enough to bt
present.
Again thanking you, | am,
Yours fraternally,
j. ID. BROWN.
