to Judge Jesse Dunn resident wemb"r
Of the commission at San Francisco.

nud WIS attained II X likely that q
still smaller number know how near
this state came to losing the site Sc
lected foI It's building, and that 1t was
suyed 10y the action ~ Mrs, Fred f..
Sutton.
The time limit for beginning work
on the Oklahoma building ut the expo
sitiOn expired some time ago. Al that
time no contract had been let for the
building and no work had been done.
Notice was given that the site Would
have 10 he forfeited,
IL was then that Mrs. sutton tele
graphed TO the exposition officials her
personal guarantee ~ 5000 tor the
erection of the building kilograms
were sent by the Chamber Of Com
merce and others stating that the
guarantee was perfectly good, and by
that means the site was saved, MrA
Sutton made the guarantee on the as.
surance Of GOvenor-elect williams
that he would recommend to the ley
islauEc that an appropriation uf
S5O0S h. made. There Is little doubt
about the legislature taking such ac-
tlon as the governor recommends.
In the greatest measure the success
OF the movement to have oklahoma
represented at the exposition Is due to
the efforts Of Mrs Sutton. She has
worked tirelcssly ever since she was
made member of the Oklahoma Pan
ama commission. Through her efforts
the greater part Of the fund now on
hand has been rnised and had she fal.
tered It is reasonable 10 believe that
the movement would have failed.
The CrOwnlng act OF this patriotic
woman was to guarantee 5000 Of her
own money 10 save the state from the
disgrace of losing its building site at
the exposition. The fact that she had
taken this action has Just become
known outside of the few who worked
with her and It entities her TO the
highest praise that can be given 10y
the people OF the state.
