 secretary as the head of the treasury department. Where else could the money have been sent to stop the pa- nic, no matter what influences might have been behind thisg'
 Senator Bailey said that he agreed with the Oklahoma Senator that the money should have been sent to the

 T. H Carroll expressed himself as tired of being dictated to and domin- eered by a set of politicians" and he would therefore, he declared, vote for Mir. Tyson as "a man worthy of the res pect and confidence of all business men of the community"
 There were several other speakers who made short, but pointed addresses to those present. one of them declar- ing We've got thee rowd, and we've got the voters. and next Monday night we'll go through the streets shouting for our next Mayor, Mir. J. C. Tyson"
