Editorial association, the Guthrie
Leader carries full page millinery

sample of lack of diplomacy?

Ell Reno sent sixteen representa-

badge carried him anywhere. A
Especial train was placed at their dis

Tulsa World: The Guthrie conven-
tion was the most thoroughly enter
tanning, instructive and successful
Iconvention in the twenty-five years

| Guthrie is a splendid convention
lefty. 1t has more talent--vocal, in
!strumental, dramatic and otherwise
than any other town of its size in the
state, and the people are exceedingly
Ihospitable. The municipal bath house,
Mineral Wells park, Masonic temple,
Elks club and other institutions were
the scenes of merriment and refined
Entertainment for the visiting scribes.
BY next year, the proposed railroads
lconnecting the Cushing oil field
towns with Tulsa will be completed,
and the most convenient and instruct
live circuitous trip through the worlds
greatest oil district can be given the
editors on the Sunday following their
convention in this city.
Some real history was made at the
Guthrie convention when the editors
lof Oklahoma talked over long dis

exposition officials, mayor of San
Francisco, former Chief Justice Jesse
Dunn of Oklahoma, and the editors
|of the San Francisco newspapers. The
unique service was arranged through
the courtesy of the Pioneer Telephone
'& Telegraph Co.
1t was explained by representatives
'of the telephone company, talking for
General Manager John Noble of the
Pic er company. that Oklahoma City
and Guthrie are the only two Okla
homa cities yet connected up with the
improvements that enable connections
with the Pacific coast, but that other
cities and towns will be connected up
as soon as possible. In explaining the
makeup of the line it was pointed out
| that any one using the line between
Guthrie and Oklahoma City would be
using property costing more than two
million and half dollars, and that this
would be the only use of that property
while a party was talking. Resolu-
| tions of thanks for the telephone
company were unanimously passed.

vention could not have been more sue
cessful and no town could have given
more strenuous and enjoyable enter
tainment with the facilities at hand
than did the newspaper men and citi-
zens of the former town. The editors
