In the southwest interest centers
largely in the efforts of Senator
owen, democrat, of Oklahoma. A
statewide "Owen for President"
club was organized and the sena-
tor invited to speak. He told the
members, without SAYING so in just
that many words, that he was n
candidate. The immediate result
was the creation of Il fund of $50
600 TO finance his campaign and
the pledging of another $4,000,

The Texas democracy is split

taken with grain of salt, indicate
that the republicans feel that they

One of the most spectacular
fights is taking place in South Da-

cornered battle for the, majority

of the Endorsement received in De-

The proceeds realized from this will
go towards paying for the new Vic

The following rhyme explains the
nature of the entertainment.
The spooks will give a party.
Beginning promptly at two,
On Friday afternoon,
At first Ward School.
They want all the children's mothers
To be sure to come,
The money you are to bring
Won't pay for half the fun
The spooks black cats and witches
Will lead you quietly through,
The long hall of horrors,
To rooms one and two.
There to your amazement
Live pumpkins you will see,
Bats, COLLINS and Brownies,
And, Oh, how scared you'll be
What's in the 3rd and 4th Grades?
1t wouldn't do to tell,
But if you all live through it,
You will do mighty well.
Upstairs in 5th and 9th Grades,
There's something quite uncanny
And last of all they say
You'll see Little Orphan Annie"
