Mrs Johns was full Of enthusiasm
over her trip and the great gathering
Of notable women from all parts Of
the country.
1T was proud moment for our
Oklahoma women when our regal state
president, Mrs John Threadgill, read
her glowing report on the progress
Of the federation in our state" con-

launched out into a spirited account
of the meeting. The biennials are
most valuable to club women, in fact
to all who attend" said she. "One

absolute proof of the truth Of my

Answers Riddles Challenge and Gives His
Reasons For Refusing To Enter Joint
Discussion

Following the assault of Dr.. Riddle
on his rival VIM. Stacey. yesterday,
the latter today sent his reply to the
doctors challenge to debate.
The Express asked Mr.. Stacey for
a copy Of his reply for publication

political discussion that goes beyond
the limits Of a news article 1t is
the unvarying policy of this paper
to play no favorites borore the primary
and for that reason, the ban is placed
on controversies between candidates.
Dr. Riddles challenge was published
as an item of news and Mr. Stacey
was told that a letter Of similar length
from him in reply would be accept
able as news, but he wanted his en-
tire letter published and under the
new law anything published at the re
quest Of a candidate must be labeled
