FARMERS STAGED BIG
GORE RALLY SATURDAY
Is Estimated Seven Thousand
Turn yd Out to Hear Blind
Senator at Apache.
Before the largest crowd ever said
to have assembled at a political gather-
ing in Oklahoma, United States Sen-
ator Thomsit fj. Gore, Saturday, at
Apache, defended his war record and
uguin renewed his challenge to Scott
Ferris to debate with hint. Mr. Ferris
also hail been invited to speak at
•Apache and had accepted, which in
part, accounts for the more than seven
thousand people who assembled from
several counties. Mr. Ferris, however,
eeut word at the last moment that he
had been called elsewhere.
During tho last week both of the
senatorial candidates spent a part of
their time in Oklahoma City conferr-
ing with their political lieutenants and
making plans for the final weeks cam-
paign. It is said that the Gore man-
agers will continue to emphasize the
failure of Scott Ferris to meet Senator
,Gore in joint debate while the Ferris
loaders will continue to attack the
blind man on his war record.
Moanwhile, the voters will enjoy the
sport.

URGES CANVASS OF
STORAGE
FACILITIES
Oklahoma City, June 9.—Governor
Robertson has issued a proclamation
urging merchants, bankers and farmers
to immediately get together and can-
ynss the requirements for the storage
of the 1920 small grain erop, that a
threatened loss of millions of dollars
and destruction of foodstuff, together
with the consequent increase ia living
costs, may be averted. Railroads are
insisting that they cannot possibly fur-
nish sufficient equipment with which
to move the erop and elevators will
be unable to store any appreciable
amount of the 1920 grain. The only
remedy, apparently, is to seeure a suf-
fieient amount of storage facilities on
the farm.
WHEAT CROP WORTH $6,000,000.

man county is estimated to be worth
$5,000,000. it was announced today.
Farmer* reported ta« labor aituation
