(Continued from Page D

Peterson, former Townsend publicity counsel, to Dr. Frank Dyer, west coast Townsend official. Peterson, writing in January, 1895, said he ex- pected ito have Dr. Townsend and Father Coughlin get together in a shcgt time"
 Getting in High Gear
 We are just beginning to get into high gear," Peterson wrote, land in a month from now I think we will have generated 50 much steam that we will have the opposition on the run.
 "What do you think of the idea of having one million old folks come to Washington to see the president, the congressman and the senators. They could come for Q two week period and during that time call on one senator after another, and get in the hair of the congressman. Congress would capitulate overnight
 We would have to tell these old folks not to come unless they could maintain themselves while here but everyone with whom have talked thinks 1t would make our bill q cinch to pass"
 Townsend Pleads Ignorance
 Townsend said he did not know Peterson was writing the letter and that as soon as he found out, T for- bade him sending out" petitions ad- vocating the movement.
 T did not want the old folks com- ing here at that time," he explained.
 "Well, your caravan was just q year late2" Sullivan said.
 "YeS,"
 "Is it true that domer Smith spent $2,l00 of CARP funds to feed the caravan and distribute firewater to the Indians?" Sullivan asked.
 T don't know" Townsend replied. He gave the same answer when ask cd about the "Follies beauties and cabaret singers"
 Sullivan questioned him about "party" in Oklahoma for 5000 Townsenditcs at which there were Indian dances. Townsend said he was unfamiliar with it.
 Townsend Didn't Know
 DO you know anything Of charge by Smith that Warmbold at- tracted attention by kissing an In- dian squaw," Sullivan asked.
 T don't know anything about it." the witness said.
 Townsend said Walter Warmbold was relieved of his command of the caravan in Oklahoma, but denied knowledge that 1t was because he was "so popular that he was stealing Smiths thunder"
 Sullivan charged thousands of dollars of CARP funds had been spent to further smiths political campaign.
 Townsend said he knew of expen- ditures of CARP funds to promote the old age movement in Oklahoma.
 "If 1t has done him any good, am glad of It. Townsend said.
 Smith, Q democrat, is opposing the renomination of blind Sen. Thomas P. Gore, D., Okla.
 Their Worst Enemy
 Letters dated Jan. 10, 1885, from Peterson to Dyer said Rep. Thomas Blanton, D., Tex, "looms as our worst enemy" and suggested organ izing his district 100 per cent with Townsend clubs" to get a petition to force his resignation.

What's in a Name?

1t has been said, There's nothing
in NAME" and that rose would
smell just as sweet under any other
name, but since we have an adopted
style of language and each word in
this laguage implies a certain thing,
or has distinct meaning, we should
use the proper word to convey our
thoughts.
We have certain districts in our
nation, state, and county which are
named from certain individuals, cir
cumstances, and the like. For in
stance, ou1 county is named in hon
or OF Samuel Ashe and we call it
Ashe county. Likewise, our town.
ships are named for individuals or
things existing in the particular ter
rltory so named. We call one town.
ship Horse Creek because of the
name OF the creek that flows through
it; another is called Pond Mountain
so named because in it's boun-
diaries towers the Pond Mountain on
whose heights lay large ponds of
water which old settlers say were
never dry even in the worst of dry
spells; and Piney Creek has creek
by the name in its borders.
We have a township spelled by
some Harrigan and by others Hurri-
cane. Both ways of spelling are used
by officials. There should be some
adopted way of spelling this town.
ship since confusion often arises con-
corning it. This township is a new
one, being established in 1922. There
is little creek by the name of Hur-
ricane that runs through the town.
ship. The creek was named this be-
cause more than fifty years ago on
its waters swept terrible hurricane
which tore large trees from their
roots and did much damage. Why
can't we use the rule adopted and
call this township Hurricane? have
not been able to find one person,
place, or thing connected with this
township by the name of Harrigan,
neither have found the word in the
English dictionary.
The citizens who had the township
established suggested the name of
Harrigan, but through some misun-
derstanding or misspelling the name
is often changed.
Why not have this thing settled
now? If we prefer to call it Harri-
gan, let us make it unanimous, but
we citizens of the tonship prefer the
name Hurricane, because
THERE IS SOMETHING IN A
| NAME.
