1920 - Governor To Be At Dacoma Fair...

[taken from Renfrew's Record, Friday, October 8, 1920, Alva, Okla., Woods County.] - Tremendous Crowds Are Expected All Three Days, 12h, 13th, and 14th (1920) -- The people of the Dacoma community have been working in and out of season for the last month to the end that the Woods County Fair to be held there next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 12th, 13th, and 14th, be the biggest and best that they have ever put over.

Governor Robertson will be there the second day and will discuss the political issues of the day at 1:30. He is an able speaker and what he has to say will be interesting to the multitude that will assemble there. Many people of Woods County have never had an opportunity to see and hear the Chief Executive of the state and doubtless they will gladly hail this opportunity.

A letter just received from Secretary H. E. Smith says that Hon. John A. Simpson, President of the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union of America, Oklaoma Division, will deliver an address at the Dacoma Fair on the 13th, next Wednesday, and a special invitation is extended to all the Farmers Unions to attend.

Candidates' Day at the Dacoma Fair comes on Thursday, the 14th, and OH! Boy! That's the day they will be glad to shake hands with you. It matters not about your political faith, because every vote counts one. If the whole world could be as friendly with each other as the dear boys are with the voters the last few weeks preceding the November election, then there would no need for the Good Lord to hold a judgment day, because we would then have heaven here on earth. But it's all right; friendliness is next to godliness.

The candidates may or may not each make a public speech there. They will be ready willing and waiting to shake, we'll say unto you. A fine bunch is out on the turf and the race is now getting where each one probably knows 'where he's at.' There are some fine speakers in the bunch, so give the boys a chance.

The Woods County Fair Association promises three big days of fun at Dacoma -- remember the dates: 12th, 13th, and 14th (October 1920).   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
