| some time with Postmaster General
! Watson today, taking over postoffice
! matters in Oklahoma. The Judge pro-
! tested against Colonel L. p Ross ey-
chairman OF the territorial Democratic
committee, being referee for appoint-
nehts IN Oklahoma. He explained TO
Mr.. wilson that when the administra-
tlon came in Colonel Ross was chair
I man or the committee, and hence had

cases his recommends ton for presi
Dental offices had been followed Scott
said he Thought the principle was
wrong ana SAID he could see no reason
why chairman of a territorial conn
mittee should be given this power as
he certainly could not know the situa
llon in the various localities any better
IMAM others of the party Mr.. Scott
suggested that the chairman of the
county committee should be allowed 70

helping the other to a judgeship, and

much to get him into difficulty. and al

other.

Judge Scott paid his respects to Sec
rotary Carlisle today. by reason OF the
fact that Mr.. Carlisle and Attorney
General. Harmon are good friends. The
judge had short talk with the score
