PULLMAN SERVICE VERY BRIEF.
Agent Herndon States That Sleeper
Will Be Operated Only During Fair.
According to a statement made by
L. C. Herndon joint ticket agent for
the Santa Fe and Hock Island a
grievous error has bepn made by
someone In giving out the statement
that the Santa Fe would operate be-
tween Ardmore and Oklahoma City
from the lilth of September to the
lth of January to test the business
to ascertain if it would be a paying
proposition.
Our Information came from the
press of the state and .also from a
person who stated that he was in tho
office of the commission when tliej
order was made. It seems that the

HE PRAISES THE RECORD OF
PRESIDENT WILSON.
Indianapolis Ind. Sept. 14 Thos.
R. Marshall formally accepted the
democratic renomlnation for the vice-
presidency here tonight not for ad
heart which sits down with them at
every flrelsde and goes to bed with
them In every home and that thought
Is "Can the president of the I'nlted
States continue to so patiently mnn-
age our international affairs as to
maintain honorable peace?"
"The one bright peaceful spot un
ler the sun this day Is America and
it is so because the president pleads
guilty to the charge of using words
rather than shot and shell and shrap
nel. If America is to lead the world
toward that now seemingly far dis
tant goal where brute force shall be
bound by wisdom and conscience in
fetters which it can never again
break then these are the hours for
mere words."
I ne vice president made a caustic
reference to the refusal of Theodore
Koosi velt to accept the progressive

the first free fair was formally opened
at 11 o'clock this morning with nearly

President O. K. Harden of the fair
association. Acting Mayor O. C.
I.asher President Sam Apple of the
Chamber of Commerce nnd President
J. K. Kreuger of the Iluslness ty'n's
association made addresses which
had the most optimistic ring as to
the future destiny of Ardmore as a
center of agricultural exhibits.
West Is Praised.
Secretary Felix K. West of the
fair association came in for well-
merited praise for the showing made
from the rural districts. To say that
the Iluslness Men's Association did
credit to themelves would be put
ting it mildly. They exceeded tho
fondest dreams of ne citizens who
have been reminded through the press
that this iwas to be a gala event.
