Senator O'NeilI Replies 10 Chickasha Cili-
zens Who Protest His Action in AdyO-
eating MuskOgee Free Fair
GIVES PRODUCERS
LARGER SHOW AREA
Will Not Hurt Grady County Farmers He
Says and Will Aid Others Who Want
to Exhibit Repeatedly

State Senator Thomas j. O'Neill re
plying to the telegram recently trans
mitted TO him Of his advocacy of the
fMuskogee free fair bill, has sent the
following explanation Of his attitude
to M. B. Courtney, president Of the
Farmers State bank, and others
Messrs M. E. Courtney A. b. Thomp.
son and others, Chickasha, Okla.
Gentlemen;
Your petition Of the 9th instant ex-
pressing an opinion that the State Fair
at Muskogee would be detrimental to
the stockraising and farming interests
Of Grady county received and / would
have answered earlier but for the press
Of work day and night here. There is
an erroneous impression among the
people in regard to this State Fair,
that this will in some way harm the
fair al Oklahoma City. Muskogee is
more than one hundred miles from Ok
lahoma City and there is a very large
region of country that can and will be
greatly benefited by a state fair at
that place. l think it will be of great
advantage to the Oklahoma City fair
and the exhibitors Of this state and
from other states who desire to make
exhibits at the state fair in this, that
Iit will furnish in two Of the leading
sections Of the state, an opportunity
at the same time to make their exhib-
its. These fairs Will not be held at the
same date, but viii succeed each 9TH
er giving time for the exhibits from
foreign states and even our own state,
to be transferred from one to the 9TH
er fair, and in this way the Oklahoma
State Fair will be benefited by hold
ing a double inducement to foreign
states. The people Of the eastern part
Of the state are entitled to this recog.
milton on the part Of the state, While
it does not cost the state even a penny,
and in my judgment to deny them this
would be gross injustice to tens Of
thousands OF people in that portion Of
our state, who can not and do not at
tend the Oklahoma State Fair or make
exhibits because of the distance, in
convenience and expense.
There can be no good reason why the
wishes and interest of the people of
that section should be ignored and de-
MED because Of a groundless suspi-
cion on the part of the Oklahoma City
Fair promoters who think or feel that
norder to boost their own interests
they must ignore the interests of every
other section Of the state,
We should and will have two more
state fairs in this state to serve the
sections where the people can attend
the fair and make their exhibits and
learn the valuable lessons to be learn
ed by such fairs, in their immediate
locality.
l favored the measure and did my
very best to secure its passage through
the senate am always glad to serve
my constituents when | am able to do
so, and in this instance, l feel / have
done what is best for the people Of our
state
Sincerely your friend,
Thomas ]. ONeill.

LIBERTY DEALERS OBSERVE

Berry of the Westerman Motor Car
company. "All over the country this
is Liberty anniversary week, and the
occasion Is being fittingly observed in
many ways~
"As worked out" continues Mr..
Berry, the dealers and distributors
are making this week an intensely
patriotic occasion, for just as July 4
is the birthday of this nation, so IL Is
also the anniversary Of the Liberty car.
Whenever the date of July is
mentioned the thots of America
young and old alike go back to the
days of '76--to those colonial times
when brave men and true shouldered
arms and fought for the independence
Of this country. Curiously enough, in
years gone by little or nothing mas
been done beyond occasional Fourth
OF July speeches to recall the days of
20 or to inject into modern times
something of the colonial atmosphere
that never fails to thrill the people
of this day and age.

The front surface Of the lens is
divided into five horizontal prisms.
Each Is inclined at an angle scien-

Arrived in Perfect Running
Condition
At Kansas City the clouds lifted, the
sun shone and the rest Of the run to St.
Louis was made without incident.
Despite its all but tunsurmountabl bic diff
culties the Studebaker car arrived in St.
Louis only 2h hours behind schedule in
perfect running condition and having only
changed one tire during the entire trip.
So we'll had it come through its terrible
experience that the car was driven on to
Detroit to the Studebaker factories with.
out any overhauling whatsoever.
This performance is further proof of
the remarkable durability of Studebaker
cars-a durability that is due to one
thing only-the mechanical perfection
of this splendid automobile.
ANY car that will come through test
like This in perfect running condition
any car that will perform as this one did
Is worth your serious sconsideration-you
owe it to yourself to get Studebaker
demonstration before you buy any car.

Leaving Salt Lake City they started
for Evanston, Wyoming, travelling the
latter half Of the distance through one
of the hardess transforms imaginable
the road was washed out and the car had
to find its own way over rocks and along
lodges that seemed impossible.
Starting from Evanston for Fort
Bridger they ran into blizzard, which
at lower levels turned into rain.
The road was a veritablc canal.
At one point they only made nine
miles in FIVE hours (the picture above

The harder it rained, the stickier and

In places the pools were hub deep. This
mud was cement-like in its consistency
it took pick and shovel to remove it
from the wheels. Yet the Studebaker

ample reserve power for conditions even
more difficult. This lasted for three days
until they reached Salt Lake City.
