FIRST GUN BY
LAFOLLETTE
Wisconsin Senator Leading Fight
for Direct Primary—To Beat
Wall Street Plan.
Madison, Wis.. Jan. 6.—'Today
Senator LaFolleUe at the opening
of the new year fires the first
gun in the contest to give the
people the right to elect dele
gales to the National Convention
of 1912 by direct vote. In this
week's issue of LaFollette Week-
ly Magazine, Senator LaPollette
declares that "Wall Street has
already selected the presiden
tial candidates of both parties

"The Wisconsin delegates to the
Republican national convention of
1908 were elected under that law.
They stood in that convention, a
little band of fearless men fight'

"The lesson is obvious. Eyery
state in the Union *hould adopt
a primary law providing for the
election of delegates to the na

vote of the people. With such

the Initiative, the people, of that

law at the late election in Novem-

election of delegates to national
convent'ons, but also providing
that each voter shall at the April
primary in 1912 have the oppor-
tunity ot expressing his choice

There is another convenience which
all farmers should have—and many
do have—a check account with a
good bank. iLhe possessor of such
an account avoids the risk of having
his money on his person or about his
home where it is in danger of fire and
thieves.
His bills paid by check are not only
a valid receipt, but also a convenience
in his home transactions where very
often the necessary change can be
made by check.

Baptist Pastor Conducts Re-
mbii ■ I' C ■to*
Dr. M. W. Ford and Dr. W.
D. Mooter of Oklahoma Cityt
were in Hollis last week and
held a Bible Institute that prov-
ed both a pleasure and profit to
all who attended. Sessions
were held Wednesday after-
noon and evening and three
times a day during the rest of
I the vveeif. In the evenings the
^actual Bible study was given
over ta talks and lectures.
Mr. Ford is well known here,
having visited Hollis before and
being a man whp makes warm
friends no matter where he goes
Dr. Moorer has proven himself a
splendid worker and a welcome
acquaintance. Every one who
met these two men or listened
at the services will be glad to
see them return at any time to
Hollis.
On the adjournment of the
Bible Institute Rev. Albert Mad-
dox, the local pastor, began a
serfes of revival meetings at that
church. Services are held twice
each day at 2:30 and 7:30 p. m.
He has tjie able assistance of
his brother, Rev. E. D. Maddox
of Hanson, Ky.

Work of Civic Association.
The Civic League held a reg-
ular meetingThursday afternoon
Jan. 15 at the Methodist church.
The constitution and by laws
were voted on and adopted. It
was decided by the League to
buy six acres to add to the cem-
etery, and a committee was
appointed to raise the money to
pay for this by public subscrip
tion. A. Gardner, a landscape
gardener, from Mangum, will
probably be employed to lay off
this plot. There is so much
work to be done on the cemetery
here that the ladies nave scarce
ly known where to begin. But
they have so far done splendidly
everything they have attempted
and we hope that they will meet
with hearty co-oDeration in this
new undertaking.
Building Fever Spreads in Hollis—
Plans Being Made (or a Num-
ber of Business Houses.
Plans are about completed for
the Erection of several substan-
tial business houses in Hollis.
Whilje the amount of building
that has been done in the past
six months has been surprising
even to those accustomed to the
push and enterprise of the place
it will not compare with what is
now in prospect for immediate
construction.
he tin shop of Lawrence
has already been moved
d the building occupied by
the Niles drug store will follow
in a short time, as will also the
building on L. A- Pearsop's
east and &. Sethtto'^on
the west. Re inforced concrete
buildings will take the place of
these wooden structures.
Plans are about completed for
a magnificent brick hotel build
ing on the yacant lots between
the city hall and the commercial
hotel. This is something which
has been needed for sometime
and its building will be welcomed
not only by the people of Hollis,
but also by the traveling puolic.
When this has been done the old
Commercial Hotel building will
be moved out and in its place
will be erected a pressed brick
business block. These buildings
will extend te the west including
the R. A. Grocery, Pearson &
Tice and J. B. Ellis.
As soon as the walls of the
Penderferaft & Jones building
are completed A D. Hollis, W.
B Groves, Pearson & Tice and
Prather & Son wiil begin work
on brick buildings. These, with
the buildings mentioned above,
will make a continuous row of
concrete and brick buildings of
two blocks with the possible
exception of one 25 foot lot and
it is hoped that may also be in-
cluded.
Arrangements are about com-
pleted for six new brick build-
ings on the south side of Broad-
way extending west from the
First State Bank.
Work on new residences is
going on in all parts of the city,
especially in the Gardner-Jones
addition and the Townsite
addition.
is urged to remember that the
next meeting will be Thursday
the 19th. Better attendance is
almost necessary to keep up the
work that has been started.
