LOSS OF FREE RENTALS
WORRIES 'EM

TITS better to go broke and to Jail
if necessary, than to lose the capital
fight" is the sentiment OF the people
of Guthrie as expressed in an editorial
in The Leader of September 5, 1912,
showing they will resort to anything
conceivable, mostly falsehoods, to get
rid of that convention hall, already
owned by the state and occupied by
the Methodist University y-Oklahoman
Hardly, But the sentiment Is not
so bad. The line quoted was in
communication to The Leader, signed
by Judge Frank Olsmith. However,
Guthrie IS not as much perturbed
over her convention hall as are the
landlords of Oklahoma City over the
loss of $53 600 in free rentals.
