Like The rattle OF dead mans
homes of the monrfli breezes that isgh
over tnc rarcophagl OF mighty political
bosses sunk to Oblivion by virtue oI
the steel 0I political righteousness,
come To the ears OF State Chairman
Jim Harris sounds OF the rising, un-
satisfactory determined progressives
who would smIte the dictator on the
right check and then on the left.
The dead past will not bury its dead
any more than will tie echoes OF the
ancient rock of Greece cease TO po-
lend storm engnifed goals for those
Nho annoy the gods and are them
selves mad,
Today Harris heard echoes OF the
lsoStoffice fight that Is eliminating at
panls Valley and he was made TO real
lie perhaps more inde ibly than ever
that the power OF Col Cecil Lyon, ma
tonal committeeman from Texas and
close friend OF Col. Theodore Roose-
veil i more potent in Oklahoma than
the power Of Harris and his central

Harris has had trouble all year with
conditions at Pauls Valley. For a
time he was supported by Bryan Haw.
kins, editor OF the Garvin County
Herald. but Hawkins failed to get all
that was necessary in the matter oI
money and was forced to suspend pub
lication OF his paper. This was fol

charge OF embezzlement. C. G. Jones
who had paid the editor for support
IN the primary campaign. was made q
witness to that indictment, whether

OF his own will and accord is not plain
Recently Hawkins established q

recent issue he hints at a situation
in Gafyin county that gives hope to
