Immediately the country was agi-

Here was a phase of Oklahoma not
treated of in that famous constitution.
What was a ''jimswinger? Was it a
frock coat of the lofty order affected
by Senator Beveridge of Indiana? Was
it the nifty getaway of great former
popularity and now struggling for re-
installation? Was it the ordinary sack
coat of business life or the round
about" of HoGsier poesy? Was it u
pair of high cut overalls or flannel
shirt set off by bandanna and a
cartridge belt?
: So importunate became the inquiries
that the governor elect felt constrain-
ed to explain to the world the exact
definition of the term 'jimswinger,
and here it is:
"Any old coat with long tails that
may flap out behind in the wind Just
at present it applies directly to long

But word comes from across the sea
that journalism of the type termed

papers in the Crippen murder case, the
enterprise which sent a bright young
Briton to New York and back on the
Mauretania, leaving him a few hours
to see Gotham, Philadelphia and Wash

stances have convinced the Yankee re-
porters that lively things can happen
outside the q. S. A.
4 characteristic example of this en-
terprise came to light during the recent
general election, and the shining light
was Alfred J. Rorke of the Central
News of London, who scored a beat on
every one of the fourteen pollings
which he was assigned to cover. AS
the British parliamentary elections
were held any time within a month
and the public interest in the results
of each contested polling were of the
most intense character it behooyed
each news agency and paper to get the
result to London as quickly as posi-
BILE so that it might keep the mass of
the people posted to the minute on the
progress of the fight.
OF all these beats the election at
Peckham shed more glory on Rorke
than any of the others. He CLEANED a
