DR. E. L. Dawson outlined the his
tory of the church in short ad-

The church was organized in 1892,
with eight charter members, DR. Daw-

members are now living in Chicka-
sha. They are, Mrs Chas Eis,elder
and Mrs. Lancaster, mother Of Mrs

structed in Chickasha, was furnished
by the Northern Baptist Publication
board A small frame building was
constructed. Money borrowed from
the publication board was returned

After the money was refunded to
the publication board, the church was
affiliated with the Southern Baptist
association. From a membership Of
six or eight, the church has grown
in membership by leaps and bounds
The membership is now approx
mately GOO.
The present church building was
completed in the year of 1912, ac-
cording to DR.. Dawson. The cost Of
the building was approximately $45,-

Party Leaders Say Bosses to Be
curbed at Frisco; Seek Answer
On Wilson's Intentions for
Possible Third Term.
BRYAN TO BE VACTOR
rs BELIEF EXPRESSED
Is Crossed With President In Views
On League; Liquor Question
Causing Trouble; Believe
Some "Trumps" Still Out.
By United Press

San Francisco, June 21-The Dem
ocrats face 'bossless convention.
The leaders are seekingxk;p find out
whether President Wilson will ask
the nomination for third term and
whether William j Bryan will be
able to wrest control Of the party
for the president. II is known that
Bryan's views on the peace treaty
are at variance with those of Mr..
Wilson.
Another matetr on which the lead
ers are seeking light is what is to be
done with the liquor question and
what the plans of VIM. G. McAdoo
are. While Mr.. McAdoo has reiter-
ated that he is not candidate and
will not permit his name to be
placed before the convention, in
many quarters the opinion prevails
that he will no trefuse the nCmina-
ton if it is rendered to MIN 1t is
believed that Bryan and W NilHon are
holding trump cards up their sieaves.
No Dictation.
Chairman Homer Cummings of the
Democratic national committee be
lieves the convention will be entirely
free of any attempted dictation from
the White House in his opinion. He
has made no arrangements to set up
private wire connecting the con
vention hall with the executive Of
fices in Washington.
But Mr.. Cummings also believes
that the president will have his own
way in all matters connected with
the selection of the candidate and
the drafting of the platform. He
believes it as good as settled that
the Virginia platform on the League
of Nations issue, which has been ap
proved by the president will be
adopted by the convention. He thinks
that nothing which may be attempt'
ed by Mr.. Bryan on the League ques-
ton or by the advocates of wet
plank will get anywhere
mother words while Mr.. Cum
mings believes the convention is go
ing to be a perfectly harmonious af
fair utterly free from boss control
he also is of the opinion that the
opponents of President Wilson are
goin gto be in the minority and thai
Ehe convention will "go along" will
the wishes of the president in al
matters of concern to the party.

Good spirlt Is Shown.

Following the double fasco at
University park yesterday, wherein
Chickasha lost the first game ana
kicked the last one away to fort
Smith. the spirit shown by those at
tending the meeting this morning
was remarkable. The sentiment that
nreyailed was that Muskogee or any
other town couldn't take the fran
chise away from Chickasha without
showing cause why Chickasha should
rnse that franchise. 1t was plainly
evident that Chickasha, having start
ed into the proposition would suck

To The Editor of The Evening Journal /:
Sir-My attention was called TO a
report OF the government eXperls
about the water conditions In this

the Wafer Board which at the time
consisted Of David Lindsay. Arthur
