PLAIN PRESENTATION
OF PRESIDENT'S CASE
Sets Forth Policies and Deeds of Admin-
istration and Asks for Vote of
Confidence
Before the hour set for Congress-
man Scott Ferris to speak Wednesday
evening; the district court room was
filled to overflowing and standing
room was at a premium. When Mr.
Ferris arrived shortly after 8' o'clock
not only was the room packed but peo-
ple filled the stairway and the adja-
cent room occupied by the court clerk.
In the rear of the court room and out
side many stood for over an hour lis-
tening intently to every word spoken
by the Lawton statesman and the en-
tire audience gave abundant manifes-
tations of approval throughout. In the
audience were many ladies including
a large delegation of college girls.
The speaker received an ovation
when he entered the room and Mr. J.
I). Carmichael immediately began his
Introductory speech in which he paid
a splendid tribute to Mr. Ferris.
Scarcely ever raising hjs voice above
the conversational tone the speaker
in unadorned language reviewed the
principal accomplishments of the na-
tional administration making a plain
plea for a vote of confidence in Presi-
dent Wilson and his policies which
have brought the nation "peace and
prosperity." In the course of his
speech he advised his audience con-
cerning the sinister influences Includ-
ing the forces of "big business" that
are at work to bring about the down-
fall of Woodrow Wilson and admonish-
ed Democrats and all others who want
to see the president's policies prevail
to be on guard Bt the polls in Novem-
ber. Iu part Mr. Ferris spoke sub-
stantially as follows:
"In days like these every man owes
it to himself and his country to give
thought to national affairs and vote on
November 7th. All good citizens
should exercise this duty arid right.
"The Democrats assert that the Wil-
son administration has enacted more
good laws in the interest of the peo-
ple in four years than the Republicans
enacted in fifty. It has fulfilled its
promises... To repeal any. one of these
laws to turn their administration
over to a hostile party would be folly.
Tho country is more prosperous today
than ever before and every class of
citizens shares in the prosperity. Pres
ent Wilson by good judgment states-
Yiiniuiiii-t awi cfininmn hnnpfiiv and iin-f.
terrified steadfastness has kept our
country at peace with the world.
True to Farmers.
"Wilson has been true every day of
his administration to the six and one-
half million farmers of the country.
Think of the wise legislation the ru-
ral credits law tho good roads law
thn nirriciilttiral extension law. H
ias been true to the twenty million
workmen of the country who for six-
teen long years under Republican
rule plead in vain for needed legisla-
tion. President Wilson has been true
every day. to honest and legitimate
business displacing our barbarous
banking system by a wise federal re-
serve act approving the federal trade
commission and other measures. He
has been true to the civil war veter-
uns and every other interest of Ameri-

administration had done. The second
issue he stressed was Mexico but his
position was purely critical with noth-

people. His third base was the tariff j

was a puerile one and not supported
by the facts at that. It was that the
president had turned out a patriot
to put a horse doctor in the govern-
ment service. As soon as the facts of
the case were known he abandoned
this and with it Ills charge against the
president for interference with the civ-
il service.
"Driven away from other grounds
Mr. Hughes desperately seized ori the
eight-hour law and this he still insists
shall he the burning issue. This law
was passed by a vote of 21! members
of congress 70 of them being Repub-
licans. The railroad net earnings for
the past year are $707000000 in ex-
cess of those of the last year of the
Taft administration and some force
is given to the claim of the brother-j
hoods that the y should partially share
in this tremendous increase of earn-
ings. To denounce their claim as un-
just is to say that prosperity shall
come to inanimate things such as steel'
rails and cars but not to human'brain J
and muscle. The great strike was j
averted and the eight-hour law is aj
credit to the Democratic adniinlstrv

very strongest supporters of Hughes

MAD KING

By United Press.
Copenhagen Oct. 12. King Otto of
Bavaria Europe's "mad king" died
suddenly in the castlo of Puerstenried
where he has been confinod for several
years according to a dispatch reach-
ing here today.
Otto was about seventy years of age.
Nominally he succeeded his brother
Ludwig II in 1896 when the latter
hrew himself into a lake in a fit of
insanity. His uncle Regent Luitpoid
was tho real ruler however.
During the Franco-Prussian war Ot-
to I first showed symptoms of insanity
when he ordered cavalry charges at a
stone wall declaring the wajl to be
French infantry. He was then put un-
der medical escort and declared inca-
pable of ruling. On Nov. ii 11)13 be
was succeeded by his cousin Ludwig
III and since then hej has lived like
a savage in the castle wehre he died
refusing to bathe or allow his hair and
nails to be trimmed. He avoided food
for days at a time believing that his
servants were trying to poison h'im.
Ho was examined by a sanity commis-
sion on April 27 each year.

Meetings Suggested at Which to Instruct
Farmers on Value of $60000 Bond
Issue for Permanent F;ir
DIFFICULTIES OF
$2500 FREE FAIRS
Representative of Bond Buyer Here Who
is Anxious to Take Up Matter
of Purchase
As yet no concerted action has been
taken by tho fanners for an organized
movement in hchalffof the proposi-
tion to vote $00000 free .fair bonds in
case such authority should later he
given the board of county commission-
ers at a future session ef the sute leg-
islature. The straw ballots H be
printed at tho expense of the farmer;;
and will bo placed at the disposal of
the voters at the regular ele-tion next
month. It is suggested that meetings
be held to instruct the farmers who
have not already signed the petition
on tho benefits to be derived from a
permanent free county fair conducted
on a scale compatible with the impor-
tance of Grady county and its exhibits.
"With but two or three exceptions
tho farmers who were in attendance
at the last fair signed the petition with-
out a moment's hesitation and the oth-
ers readily affixed their signatures as
soon as the situation was explained to
them" said W. E. Smith today. VI
um not in favor' of $2500 free fairs
for justice cannot be done either to
exhibits or t; exh:t:; h ' even under
the best conditions in tents and frame
stalls such as we have had and this
appropriation requires too much slash-
ing of premium lists. Wo want to give
the farmer a chance to show his pro-
ducts to the best advantage and see
that he is comfortably accommodated
when he comes eithdr to attend the
fair or to ' place his exhibits there.
What would have happened this year
had we had a hard rain? With perma-
nent stalls and exhibit halls a rain
would not be so disastrous.
"Then again we have sent about
$100(1 out of the county for tents dur-
ing the past two years. That would
build a substantial building for' the
exhibition of stock. The" conditions
prevailing here during the last fair
were really dangerous to stock that
was not closely watched both day and
night and fine animals might have
been permanently injured had it not
been for tho vigilance of their owners.
"Grady county needs a permanent
fair fund and sho can produce a fair
which will be the superior of any town
approaching the size of Chickasha iu
the state."
Interest is already being aroused in
the suggested $00000 permanent free
fair bond issue for Grady county in
investment circles. J. H. Jenkins who
was here this week representing an
Oklahoma City dealer in municipal '
bonds in informal talks with members
of the board of county commissioners
and with prominent citizens interested
in tho movement expressed a desire
to participate in the bidding for these
bonds and stated that his firm would
investigate all legal technicalities and
set the county right .
