BUSINESS MEN
HELD MEETING
LAST NIGHT.
HOTEL PROPOSITION DISCUSSED
AND RAILROAD FARE REFUND
QUESTION WAS THOROUGHLY
GONE INTO.

That everything else should give
way to the hotel project, and that
every effort should be used to get
one for Ardmore, was the substance
of strong resolutions passed by the
Business Mems association at its
regular meeting last night. The as
sociaton pledged itself to do any
thing in its power in the interest OF
a hotel, and will consider any propo-l
sition made and assist any organiza-
tion or set of men who will make it
their single purpose.
The refund of railroad fares was
reported ready to launch Just as soon
as the printed matter was off the
press. Secretary Gilbert was in
structed to take up with the county
attorney the legality of premium
club" scheme which is being worked
in the city.
Under the head of new business,
resolution that "the matter of hotel
for Ardmore be not allowed to be
dropped" brought out an expression
from more than dozen merchants.
That the Chamber of Commerce be
assured that it would get the united
support of the business men was the
substance of the discussion, and it
was freely expressed that call keep
everlastingly at it until the end sought
was attained"
"Evervone should make it his per-
sonal business to agitate this mat
ter said A. d. Maddox, "and all ef-
forts should be concentrated on it
to the exclusion of everything else.
No one knows better than we real
estate men what we are losing by
inadequate hotel facilities. 1t is the
most important issue before the peo-
pie of Ardmore, and would be in ia
vor of dropping everything else until
we get what we want
Following the discussion, the fol-
lowing resolution was passed:
'Be it resolved, that the Business
Mems association will lend its entire
strength to aiding the Chamber OF
Commerce, any individual, or set OF
individuals, who will make any rea-
sonable offer which will mean hotel
for Ardmore.
''Be it further resolved. that we
pledge active and united effort to
such a movement and invite any bona
fide offer which entails either the
taking of stock or giving a reason
able bonus"

AS the speaker went through the
long list of indictments of lack of

appauding one sally and then cheering
another. The speech came to close
with a peroration of Americanism,
which was frequently interrupted by
cheers. His demand for the protec-
ton of American rights under every
sky was fondly applauded. Senator

proval of the convention, as he scored

referred to the situation as one of
