GRIMM MEETINGS
IN Eth. CHURCH
SAYS EVACELIST.
In Statement Today Grimm Points
Out Difficulty In Keeping Tent
Standing Due to Wind
Storms; Asks Cooperation.

That the revival meetings being
conducted by Evangelist Grimm in
this city will for the remainder OF
the time be held in the Methodist
church, was the statement of the
evangelist this morning. He pointed
out that it seems impossible to keep
the big tent standing.
Mr. Grimm issued the following
statement;
A Statement from Evangelist Grimm
I'VE have been in Chickasha near
ly two weeks trying to lead you in
great revival. We have had a
splendid hearing considering the fact
that we have been so unsettled
about a place in which to hold the
services. We have put the tent up
twice, and twice it has blown down,
almost as soon as we got it up
at looks like it is impossible at
this season of the year to keep a
tent up in Chickasha. We have de-
cided that we would not attempt to
use the tent any more but would
conduc the rest of the services in
the Methodist church. May | send
my heart appeal to every christian
man and woman to rally around us
these remaining days, and let's look
for great refreshings from the pres
ence of the Lord And may | also
appeal to the public in general to
come with US that we might bring
them message Of redeeming grace.
Remember there will be services
at the eMthodist church every night
at 1880 and every afternoon except
Saturdays and Mondays at o'clock
Shopmen will remember also ser
vices every day at noon in The shops
except Saturdays and Mondays.

the members Of the house engaged

riotous became the proceedings that
Speaker Sweet, after pounding for
some time, finally said:
"The members of this house are
conducting themselves in a disorder

representatives Of your districts"
The trouble started when Repre-

he had not had chance to examine
the majority report of the commit

WILSON 8 HEALTH

THIRD TERM RACE
This Idea That Democratic Leaders
Gather; Minds Eased On Point
But Speculate As to Who
viii Get His Support.
By United Press.


Washington, April l. The presi-
dents health is such that it, would
be impossible for him to go through
campaign for a third term without
grave danger of another collapse, it
was learned today.
Democrats who have been worry
ing about him running for third
term have their minds eased to some
extent and many Of them now feel
satisfied that the nations chief will
abandon all thoughts Of entering the
fight to retain his seat in the While
House, if indeed he ever had such
ideas.
There will doubtless be considers
Bile pressure brought to bear on him
by prominent democrats to make
him admit that lie will not be can
didate in order. that the field might
be cleared for the entrance Of dem
ocratic cadidates.
While leaders of the party here
now feel reasonably assured that the
president will not be a candidate to
succeed himself, they are as much
in the air as ever as to who, among
the democratic candidates he will
support.
