In broad language that this is the

Mr.. Hay said the bill carries out the

added that while the bin did not con-

Washington. March 1s.-Robert M.
La Toilette, United States senator from

first formal Endorsement for the Repub-

date. There is factional fight among
the Republicans OF Mr.. La Foiiettes
home state, from which there arises a
possibility that the senator may not
receive the unqualified support of the
Wisconsin delegates to the national
convention. In this contingency, 1t has
probably been figured out by Mr.. La
Toilette and his political managers
that it would be a wise move In the
direction Of preparedness" to have In
structed delegates from some other
state in order to make certain that the
name OF the Wisconsin senator will be
placed before the Chicago convention.
The selection naturally fell upon North
Dakota, where the LaFollette strength
was abundantly manifested in the po-
litcal skirmishing that preceded the
national conventions Of four years ago.
AS Senator La Toilette is the only
Republican candidate who has hled

ception OF Henry d. Estabrook OF New
York, It is regarded as a practical GER
tainty that the states ten delegates to
the Chicago convention viii be In

Some surprise has been expressed that
Senator Cummins did not file = petit
tion, since his lieutenants have been
working diligently 70 capture all of the

NEW HOTEL IS
SUBJECT FOR
ARDENT JOY
CITIZENS OF ARDMORE PLEASED
THAT THEY WILL SOON HAVE
ONE OF THE BEST HOsTELRlES
IN ENTIRE STATE.

Interest in the new hotel has been
revived considerably since the meet
ing Saturday in which permanent Of
ficers were selected, and Ardmore cit
izens are congratulating themselves
that an adequate hotel will soon be
erected here, an institution that has
been needed for some time.
During the great rush for the fields
here few years ago, it was no un-
common thing for every room avail
able in the city to be taken, and
many were compelled to take trains
for other places in order to get accom-
mediation. With the erection of a big
new hotel this will not be repeated
in the future, and there is no good
reason why Ardmore should not be
the headquarters for oil men when the
house is completed. The Ardmoreite
has a firmly established reputation of
being one of the authentic oil journals
of the state and the plans for the new
hotel contain provision for perma-
nent headquarters for the oil editors
which will be a great convenience to
operators in the field.
Just when work on the building will
begin has not been determined, but
an effort will be made TO have the
house ready for opening by the first
of the year.
