We said little on the car. The few
passengers stared at us frankly, and

The sustaining chain of her small

Afterwards I wished had let it lie un-

RETURNING
To GUTHRIE
QUARTERS
OFFICIALS ACCEPT
SUPREME COURT
DECISION

Moving back TO Guthrie and getting
another term is making lots OF hot
weather work for some state officials.
The few offices In Oklahoma City are
practically closed and. II Is claimed,
none but the secretary of state will
attempt to stand out agalns. the de-.
eision of the supreme court. II Is
said Secretary Cross expects 70 stand
by the governor, who Is alone exempt
from the go-back-home order. II Is
probable he will be unmolested on
account Of his Illness and on account
OF the further fact that Judge Huston
will be out Of Guthrie for month
Meanwhile the other officials will
be settling back in their old places.
II may be necessary, however, to man
damus the election board.
Inspector Taylor Is at home In ey.
cry sense OF the word. The banking
board IS ready to come back. The
idea OF taking the bank commissioner
to Oklahoma City has been abandon
cd, II Is thought.
Charges of contempt will probably
be made against all who attempt to
do business anywhere excepr fne state
capital.
The Oklahoman Of today has Q
fierce wall, claiming all the offices
viii be moved TO Oklahoma CITY. The
old chestnut about The governor go
Ing to appoint capital commission
is also sprung.
1t Is Oklahoma City's move. The
whole affair hinges on expenditure OF
money and when that Is attempted
the fireworks Will start. Oklahoma
City Is claiming the capital because
the governor Is located there and Ii
exempt from control as TO his where
abouts and the entire proposition Is
staked on the alleged election OF June
