prising the nineteenth senatorial dis
trict.
Senator Thompson's service while
in the state senate was clean and
always in the interests Of the people
of Oklahoma and of the democratic
party. His record while there speaks
for itself 1t is an open book which
all may read.
The senator says that he is strong
ly Bryan democrat" He believes
that the people should rule and,
should he be successful in his pres
ent ambition will devote all his ener'
Fgies and influence in the direction
of seeing that the people do rule.
Senator Thompson has the reputa-
tion Of being a man who has never
forgotten a friend-a reputation of
which any man may feel justly proud.
He is well known to the people OF
Ardmore and needs no words of in
PRODUCTION from the Ardmoreite, or
any one else Should he enter the
race and give his time and attention
to the campaign he will be very much
in the running and will, more than
likely, be one of the three who will
be chosen.

the best of any thus far in the meet

many encouraging signs which point
to a gracious revival of religion, one
of which is the good attendance up

COMMERCE COURT PROLONGED
HOUSE AMENDS BILL WHEN THE
SENATE FAILS TO PASS 1T.
Il Is Believed Now That President
Taft VIII Sign the
Measure.

Washington, Aug. 22-For the third
time the house passed the legislative
executive and judicial bill bill over the
veto Of President Taft by vote of
1874 to SO, but in the senate the ef-
fort to pass it failed, "a to q. AS a
result, the house amended the meas
ure to provide a continuing appropri-
alton for the commerce court until
March 4, 1918, passed it, and 1t lies
with the senate appropriations COM
mittee with good prospects that 1t
will pass the senate. This is a chron-
illogical resume Of the passage Of tho
bill.
When the senate refused to override
the president, Senators Crane and
Smoot carried the news to the White
House. Mr. Taft expressed his de-
light at the failure OF the Democratic
plans in the upper body and did not
attempt to conceal his satisfaction
No in,imation was given at the White
House as to whether the new COM
promise would be acceptable to the
president, but senate and house lead
ers are confident that the measure will
be signed.

PANAMA RESOLUT|OH REJECTED
BY VOTE OF 8-6 PROPOSITION
DIES IN COMMITTEE.
Presidents Second Veto Of Judicial
Appropriation Bill to Be
DIsregardcd.

Washington, Aug. 21-The Panama
Joint resolution asked for by Prcsi-
dent Taft, in a special message to con-
gress. to make clear the rights of
foreign ship owners to carry into
American courts the question of free
tolls in the Panama canal, WAS turned
down by tho senate committee on In
terOceunic canals.
BY vote of to 6, the committee
ton asked for by President Taft. This
is taken by leaders OF the senate to
mean that there will be no resolution
passed, supplementary to the Pan
anna canal bill which now lies on the
presidents table, awaiting his sigma
ture. The resolution has not as yet
been formally introduced in either
house, but the senate committee took
a direct vote on tho proposal AZ en-
bodied in the presidents message.
BY n vote of Isl to 80 the house
adopted the conference report on the
naval appropriation bill. The meas
ure, which will now go ,efore the
and number Of submarines, golfers
and auxiliary vessels. Thirteen mem
bcrs opposed to tho battleship pro-
gram voted present"
The bill as it goes to the president
carries $123,22O,7O7, an Increase Of APP
proximntely $d.G00.O00 over the meas
ure as it passed the house.
President Taft's second veto of the
legislative, executive. judicia1 appro-
pration bill which will be sent In
message to congress will find the
house prepared to pass the bill again
over his veto, according to house lead
crs. Chairman Fitzgerald Of the ap-
preparations committee stated that the
house would undoubtedly repass the
measure.
AS the bill went to the president, it
provided for the adjustment of the
commerce court. a procedure to which
the president again refuses to agree.
The delay over this bill makes the
adjournment situation tense in both
houses as leaders Of each side are
eager to get away by Saturday night.
