While I was down at Broken Bow, I got a telegram from the house which read, "Sam Shoup dead" that was one line and on the next line the message read: "Wood wants goods." "I thought this was rather funny when I got hold of the message for I hadn't sold this man Wood for several seasons. He had been a little slow and the house had drawn on him, and I lost him.
Jubilant speeches were made by Mrs. Harrington, State Senator E. V. Dunkley and Captain Morrison Shafroth to an audience of about 1,500. Governor Shoup was out of the city but sent a letter to be read. The Mayor was represented by Commissioner J. W. Sharpley.
You know, after a man has turned up his toes you can see a whole lot of good points about him that always escaped yo' notice befo'; so at Broken Bow I wiahed the flo'ist up in Deadwood to send ten dollars worth of roses with my card on over to Mrs. Shoup, that I would see him in a few days and pay him fo' them. I also sent a telegram to the widow, extending my heartfelt sympathy.
In May, 1919, when it was known that the Federal Suffrage Amendment was certain to be submitted in a short time, the State Association requested Governor Shoup to be in readiness to call a special session of the Legislature so quickly that Colorado might be the first State to ratify.
I think you're stringin' me. "'No; nothing of the kind, said I, and I handed him the telegram. Laugh? I never heard a fellow laugh like he did in my life. "'Why, can't you read? "'Sure! This telegram reads: "Sam Shoup dead. Wood wants goods." "'No, said Wood. 'That telegram says that Sam Shoup, Deadwood, wants goods.
