Haskell came 70 Guthrie Saturday for
the nrg time since June and issued
a call for a special session Of the
Third Legislature 20 meet in Okla

ganiza-lon, the governor indicated in
the call and a statement which ne IS

mir for its consideration the Oklaho-
ma city initiated state capital remoy-
al bill voted upon By the people June
II, but which the supreme court this
week held 10 be void on account Of
Illegal submission.
The only change the governor says

not last more than ten DAYS, although
he says. by pushing matters, the work
could be accomplished in five days.
