SCOTT FERRIS
FOR GOVERNOR

Washington, June 5.-The interest
which Representative Scott Ferris
of the Lawton district Is displaying
in legislation in nearly every district
in the state of Oklahoma, especially
IN the third and second congressional
districts, has given rise TO the rumor
that he is laying his. wires to sue
ceed Governor Lee Cruce, when his
term of office shall expire. Ferris is
a young man. and ambitious, and
many OF his friends throughout the
state urged him to run for the dem
ocratic nomination for governor last
year To the entreaties of his we'll
wishers the young Lawton statesman
turned a deaf ear, but recently his
activities, especially in districts 9th
er than his own, have led the polit-
ical diagnosticians to figure out that
Ferris was being stung with the gu
Senatorial bee.

REPORT OF DEMOCRATIC MEM.
BERs OF COMMITTEE cRlTL
CizES PRESIDENT.
HE SCORES SILENCE Of TAFT
Democratic Members of Ways and
Means Committee Score Taft for
Silence While Nineteen and Nine
Tariff Was Being Considered

Washington, d. C., June 6.-Sharp
criticism of President Taft, the re-
publicans and the tariff boards re-
port of the Underwood wool bill was
submitted to the house today by the
democratic members of the ways and
means committee.
Quoting the presidents addresses
after the passage Of the Payne-Al-
drich bill, in which he declared THE
woolen schedule is indefensible and
/ propose to say So" The report says,
Had the president made those ad-
missions earlier while the 1909 tariff
was under consideration by congress,
the declarations would have been of
service to the people against the
betrayal of the public welfare to prl-
vate greed. The presidents silence
then and his approval of the act of
1909 make it impossible for him to
evade the full share of responsible
lily for the nature of the revisions,
which he now admits"
The report deals at length with
the administration attitude in not
communicating to congress the data
on the steel trust and other in
dustries now being investigated and
the failure of the tariff board to
communicate its data on the woolen
industry.
The debate on wool begins in ear
nest tomorrow. The republican men,
bers of the committee are reported
to be unanimously against the bill.

Washington, June 5.-The finance

Only in the senate will the bill run
