This congress is composed of body

Albert Taylor and his company
met warm reception last night at
the Airdome. 1t was like the days
Of aud lang syne" for the Ardmore
| theater lovers to sit once more be-
fore the man who has been their
favorite for all these years.
And Albert Taylor and his splendid
company did not disappoint the
audience. Thesame good ork which
has characterized every company
with which he has been connected in
all the years which he has been play
ing Ardmore was in evidence last
night.
Mr. Taylor, himself played the part
of the time country lawyer in
Our Attorney and played it well,
while the support given him was the
very best.
The vaudeville between the acts
was funny-funny in the broadest
sense which the definition OF the
word conveys-funny and clean.
While laugh followed laugh until
the tears of pure enjoyment ran down
the cheeks of all present there was
not thing said or done that even
the most prudish could have found
fault with
Space forbids our telling OF all the
good things which were produced last
night but we feel justified in saying
that those who did not attend last
night were the ones who were dis
appointed.
Tonight the company will play My
Fathers Son and the fact that it
will be played by the Albert Taylor
company is a guaranty that it will
be strictly alright Come out and
see it. Some good acting, hear good
singing and see the fine foot work
of Miss Emma Wilson, the most ar
tistic dancer who has visited Ard

Franklin Visits Ardmore

The address of William NJ. Frank
lin, candidate for congressman at
large at the intersection of Main and
Washington streets in this city Mon
day night was one of the best
speeches Ardmore people have ever
had the pleasure of listening to. Mr..
Franklin is making strenuous cam
paign, he is making more speeches
than probably any other three can
didates in the field, but his voice is
strong and his articulation perfect.
His train was late in arriving but
the crowds remained to hear him.
He took up his own record in the
state senate of Oklahoma, giving the
bills which he introduced and Sc
cured the passage of and giving
their results. National questions
were discussed and upon every i'm
portant question before the Ameri
can people Mr.. Franklin told how
he stood. When he had finished
scores of people crowded about him
and promised him their, support.
Mr.. Franklin was reared in Illinois
Bend in Montague county near the
Indian Territory line. He came to
ArdmOre when he decided to study
law and began the study of law in
the offices of Potterf & Bowman of
this city. After being admitted to
the bar he went to Madill where he
has lived since that town was estab-
lished. Mr.. Franklin has many old
time friends in this section of the
state who will be glad to support
him in his race for congress at
large.
