A Day at Durwood.
The News man spent an after-
noon at Durwood last week to
get acquainted with her good
eople. Durwood is on the
'risco and Rock Island roads
and is in as fine section of
fruit and truck country as there
is in southern Oklahoma. They
have as fine water as can be
found anywhere. Have just
completed a modern school
building that is a model of
beauty and convenience. The
enrolment is more than 60.
V. J. Howard & Co. who own
the town site have just sold a
half interest to W. D. Clark of
Ardmore, who will boost the
town and country and we pre-
dict that in the near future Dur-
wood will be a thriving commu-
nity of which Marshall County
will be proud.

Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 21.—In
response to a personal request
from W. J. Bryan, Senator T.
P. Gore left here for Chicago,
where he will be assigned
speaking dates for the next
week in Ohio, Indiana and New
York. He says:
"Would rather elect Bryan
president than myself sentator.
Oklahoma is safe. Bryan help-
ed Oklahoma in her need and
Oklahoma will help Bryan in
his need."
In regard to Senator Bever-
idge's speech, he says in part:
'I deplore the fact that Sen-
ator Beveridge felt called upon
to give utterance to such narrow
and sectional sentiments of bit-
terness and hate. In Oklaho-
ma, Texans and Indianans,
Kansans and Kentuckians have
united their hearts and their
hopes to build up this matchless
young state and glorify this
matchless republic.
'I would suffer my right arm
to wither before I would array
section against section or dis-
parage a single state in our
much loved Union. Cursed be
the traitor's lips that utter the
sentiments of sectional hate and
thrice cursed be the hand that
rekindles the fires of sectional
passion.
"One country and one flag is
the sentiment of every Oklano-
man and the sentiment of every
loyal American, whether demo-
crat or republican, whether
born 'neath the northern star
or the southern cross."
