One Hundred Years Ago - 6 May 1913

One hundred years ago today, 6 May 1913, it was Tuesday, as the Tulsa Daily World reported the following headlines on their frontage: "Reduce Penalty Labor Leaders," Mahr Accused by Grand Jury," Great Activity Shown In Tulsa," "Woman Flirts With Death For An Hour," "Kendrick To Be A Speaker Today."

The commercial club's noon day luncheon would be in charge of oil men. A. E. Watts was to be toastmaster, and that was a very good start for a very good program, as reported in The Tulsa Daily World, 6 May 1913. The principal speaker would be Senator C. R. Kendrick, of Ardmore, president of the Oklahoma state senate and one of the really prominent men in the legislature.

Mr. Kendrick was one of Tulsa's most loyal supporters, a forceful speaker and a man who does things worthy of note. His talk would be along the line of oil and gas legislation.

The tax ferret proposition and other problems affecting the oil men would be fully and ably discussed at this commercial club luncheon, held in the Hotel Tulsa girl room at 12 o'clock.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
