The Oklahoma Press association was
billed to meet in this city yesterday,
at least Guthrie was named as the
place OF meeting at the convention
held last May. but in the rush of busi-
ness IL is probable that the territorial
quill pushers forgot the date But
still they are not to blame. President
Quein is deserving of all censure, as
the call for q meeting should have been
issued by him a month ago. The
Press association should not be al
lowed TO lapse into oblivion. There Is
considerable fresh young blood In the

coming necessary, II for no other rea-
