son, and proposals for the recall and
the direct popular election OF presi-
dents, were thrust into the senate in
rapid succession during the first days
consideration Of the constitutional
amendment limiting a president to q
single term Of six years.
In a session filled with lively debate,
Senator Bristow's proposal that a
president could be recalled at any reg

ment to make the single term four
years instead OF six was defeated ~

Senators Dixon and Poindexter, pro-
gressives. Bristow, progressive-repub-
lcan, and Lodge. republican, led the
fight against a restriction Of the presi.
dental term. Senator Williams, dem

the privilege of reelection once. but
his amendment was 80 drawn ~ to
prevent Colonel Roosevelt from seek

extent than President Roosevelt had
used It in 1908 or the election of Mr..

Senator Dixon's charge that single

ambitious aspirants or the presidency
and the declaration Of Senators Bris-

lhat there would be free attractions

be made and that the purchaser Of
the concessions would be limited to
five cents in his charges for any cold
drink sold. The secretary has closed
contract with the great Rosards, Il
comedy acrobatic act and "Katzen-
jammer" castle feature. This is one of
the highest class acts of its kind in
the country and will be absolutely
free twice daily on an immense plat
form erected for the purpose. The
company also does a novelty turn with
heavy wagon wheels. Besides the
above, a abnd has been engaged to
make music, all the time, and will be
a feature of the two days attraction,
An Indian ball game will be played
between two rival teams of Choctaw5
for first and second money, and races
have been provided for on the old
race course. At night fireworks will
be had and the committee will see
that a large dancing platform is
erected for those who desire to dance.
The committee, consisting Of Messrs.
Dings, Westheimer, Spragins and
West, made an estimate of all the
cost of various attractions and the
money will be secured by subscrip-
lion at once. Arrangements were also
made to give the affair publicity and

moreite to adcertise it to the world.
The committee is deterined to
make this picnic the largest affair of
he kind ever held in Ardmore ami

PROSPERITY ONCE
MORE VISITS US
DEMAND FOR RENTAL PROPERTY
EXCEEDS THE SUPPlY-MORE
BUILDING.

The effects of the new Ringing
railway is being felt in business cir
cles of this city already. The Office
force that has recently been organ
lied have rented five houses and will
bring their families to live here at
once.
With the beginning of the work
on the yards and terminals there will
be many more brought here and the
demand for rental property will be
better than it has been for many
years in the past. Most Of the prop
erty owners who have had their plac-
es listed have taken them off the
market and are going to hold ON to
them. Mr.. Hamon stated this morn
ing that it was all right for the owners
to demand fair price for their prop
erty if they wanted to sell but he
did not believe it good policy to make
their demands eXhorbitant, in that
event people in all probability would
build their own homes.
Mr.. A. C. Cruce, who was in the
city Friday stated that he was well
satisfied with his holdings in Ard
more and that the future looked very
bright indeed.
There is a general feeling of con-
fidence pervading this section and
with the brilliant crop prospects it
looks as if the farmers and merchants
were going to enjoy an era of pros
perity.
