HOME TOWN BOY MAKES GOOD
New War Secretary Hatches Haitian Fight, Rogers Pridefully Declares.
BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Dec. 9.-- Say, did you know that an old country boy from just 28 miles from Claremore, Okla., was secretary of war? his name is Pat Hurley. And he is making good right from the jump, too. He hadn't any more than been appointed than he hatched one with Haiti. Course, that's not much of a one, but it may lead into something bigger and better. Due to Pat, we are liable to wake up some day with presidential timber on our hands right down home. He was appointed because he had fought in two wars and six Oklahoma impeachments. He was, like Mr. Hoover, soon to realize that, while the democrats were always right, they were seldom president, so he relinquished his social standing and joined the great unwashed majority. Yours, for the home town boys, WILL ROGERS
