Jetmore. Kan, Sept. 6.-Fifty neigh
bors of Mr.. and Mrs. Van B. Howey,
old Kansas settlers, surprised the cou-

to return to their home district to look
things over.
Congressman Jouett Shouse of the
Seventh district is now at his home in
Kinsley and is preparing for his cam
paign for reelection. Congressman
Guy T. Helvering of the Fifth district
heard the noise as far from Marysville
as Washington, D. c. So Helvering
came home to plug a few holes and
try to hold his organization together
for the fight against Charles M. Har-
ger, Republican nominee.
Will Have a Real Fight.
Other Democrat congressmen-Tag-
CART, Doolittle, Connolly and Ayres-
are planning to return to Kansas as
soon as the present session adjourns
or there is an opportunity to leave
Washington. Each of the men will
have a real fight in the coming cleo
ton and Republican leaders in the
state are planning to regain at least
three of the six districts now held by
the Democrats.
Congressman D. R. Anthony, jr,
and Phil P. Campbell, Republicans,
will probably enter the campaign in
their districts in October. 1t is not
believed either of these men will en-
counter a hard fight in the November
election and the Republican workers
expect to hold these districts without
serious trouble.

Oklahoma City Boosters to Replace

replace the one destroyed by fire re-
Gently, the state fair officials have de-
cided on the rough details for rebuild
ing. 1t is planned to build a modern
concrete mad steel structure 400 feet
long with a seating capacity of 5000.
The seats will be protected by steel
roof until after the exposition closes,
when some other kind of a roof will
be built.
Every inch of spare space will be
conserved. Under the floor, rooms
will be built for concession or exhibit
ton purposes. 1t is probable that a
large restaurant will occupy one of
these rooms.
According to 1. S. Mahan, secretary
of the State Fair association, the con-
cession hall will not be rebuilt, as
there is no urgent need for it. The fig
ure eight, carousel building and band
stand, which, in addition to the grand
stand were destroyed, will be rebuilt.

State fair officials are of the opinion
that everything will be ready when
the state fair opens September FL.
