No bHGGING SEEN
IN THE CAMPAIGN
WORK FOR KENDALLS ENLARGE.
MENT CARRIED ON WITH
DETERMINATION.
EVERYBODY WORKING HARD
Active Cooperation Coming from All
Sides--All Are Interested in
Successful Termination.

Yesterday was a strenuous day for
the workers in the 100000 Kendall
college campaign and S2,6S9 was add
ed to the to;al of yesterday. This
amount strikes the gait of a 3O-day
campaign. None Of the men back Of
the enterprise express anything but
confidence In the raising of the $780,
600 Many things can happen or be
induced to happen in course of three
days time, any of which will ma
terially change the prospect now be-
fore the campaign committees. Yes
terday was a day of planning that will
undoubtedly bring big results before
the campaign is closed.
Mayor Wooden.
Mayor Wooden is on the honor roll
of Tulsa subscribers to the Greater
Kendall and has pledged active CO.
operation in the campaign. EXMay-
or Martin is also in as a campaigner
and inyester, Commissioner Wilson Is
likewise with the movement, having
subscribed to the fund. A little fur
ther ramifcation of the organization
will take in all the men in public life
in Tulsa. The enterprise from the first
has commanded the support Of Tul-
sans who have been in on all the big
propositions in Tulsa. The big spurt
toward the close Of the campaign is
about due and everybody Interested in
the successful termination of the cam
palgn should be at headquarters at
8 a. m. to help inaugurate IL.
Hopeful Sign.
One thing about the campaign that
prophesles the successful raising Of
the 100000 is the determination Of
the men to see it through. II any
one in Tulsa Is on the lookout for
cutters the last place to find them
would be among the teams of the men
carrying the burden Of this mammoth
undertaking. 1t is a big task Big
enough to tax Tulsa's ability to carry
through big enterprises. Big enough
to tox Tulsa's vision Of the future
big enough to tax Tulsa's heart. We
do not believe that Tulsa is over-rated
and we believe the men and women
Of Tulsa will see that Kendall gifts the
enlargement fund that will assume its
future. Up TO now Kendall has had
no real college equipment, but we
believe Tulsa will see that a greater
Kendall opens its doors next fall. We
will make Kendall Great. We will
make Kendall Great. as Great as Ken
dall's opportunity.

through his home state. He contin-

taking up more than dozen subjects
that Mr.. Roosevelt has referred to in
his speeches against the president.
Mr.. Taft openly accused Mr.. Roose-

The president dwelt at length on
the Roosevelt charges that he was the
friend of the boss and the tool of tho
special interests. He pointed out tho
failure Of the Roosevelt administers

Harvester trust and contrasted that
with the attitude OF his own adminis-

both. Although he carefully explain.
