At tonight's meeting of the Tulsa
County Champ Clark club plans will
be announced for the starting of a
state wide movement to procure the
instruction of the Oklahoma delega-
ton TO the democratic national con-
vention for Speaker Champ Clark for
the democratic nomination for presi-
dent.
The Champ Clark followers have
established national headquarters in
the Planters hotel in st. Louis and
Tulsa has been designated as the
headquarters in Oklahoma for the
speaker of the house of representa-
tives. Woodsen f. Norvell of Tulsa
is chairman of the campaign commit
tee. and he has mapped out plans thai
placing oklahoma in the Champ
Clark ranks.
State Into Three Districts.
Over 500 invitations have been
sent out to prominent democrats Of
Tulsa county and Oklahoma for the
meeting to be held in the superior
court hoom at o'clock tonight. At
this meeting the state Will be laid out
in three districts. with headquarters
for the eastern district in Tulsa, 70
and for the western district at Araph-
ahoe.
Clark Here During Holidays.
Mr.. Norvell received a letter from
Champ Clark yesterday stating that
II possible he would be in Tulsa to
open his campaign sometime during
the Christmas recess of congress. Mr.
Norvell is confident that with 100, 000
Mssourians living in Oklahoma
that this state can be lined up in
favor of the exponent Of annexation
of the Dominion of Canada.
Tulsa a Political Hub.
The fact that an important branch
of the Champ Clark campaign will
be directed from this city for the
state of oklahoma. will bring Tulsa
within the spot light of national poll
ties and give this city a great deal Of
publicity. Already the endorsement
Clark has received in this state has
furnished the basis for many of the
news stories being sent by his press
bureau. Oklahoma is mentioned In
nearly every one of the daily reports
sent to the democratic newspapers in
all parts of the United States, and
when the Clark headquarters here
get under way reference will no doubt
be made to Tulsa in all the literature
sent out.
1t is intlmated that the supporters
of Governor Harmon may also open
up state headquarters in Tulsa as
he has many supporters here and
there is a growing belief that there
is some sort of a working agreement
between Harmon and Clark. At least
this appeared to be the case in Mis-

ing in the senate at that time. This
republican measure was offered un-
successfully in the house as sub for

No Primary Law.


The long heralded row over the pri-
mary question proved flash in the
pan. The following members of the
committee were appointed to draft
the call:
Messrs Borah. Idaho Kellog, Min
nesota Ward, New York; Rosewater
Nebraska; and Capers South Caro-
lila.
The committee was appointed at
the morning session which began at
1880 o'clock and retired immed-
lately
Messrs. Kellogg Ward and Capers
signed the majority report which en-
powered states with primary laws to
select delegates by primary If the COM
mittee so decides that Mr.. Rosewater
signed It with the reservation that
he favored the primary idea. Mr.. Bo-
rah submitted his minority report
which added a provision that would
permit presidential primaries In all
stataes regardless OF the existence of
non-existence of a primary law.
Borah Submits Reports.
When the committee resumed its
meeting at 2 o'clock, Mr.. Borah pre-
sented two reports and explained their
differences. He consented to an
amendment which overcame a con-
fl!ct between the North and South Da-
kota laws. The call requires that dis
tricts must be chosen thirty days be-
fore the convention. and the South
Dakota laws fixes June as the pri-
mary. Mr.. Penrose was adverse to
the rule.
Another difference was one which
directed that the call for South Caro-
llna's selections of delegates be trans
ferred to the state chairman through
the national committeeman.
In his argument for his admend-
ment. Senator Borah declared he re-
garded It as the duty of the commit
tee TO conform to statas laws.
John w. Blodgett Of Michigan said
II the call included the Borah provis-
ion. pressure would be brought to
bear In many states for primaries.
After Senator Borah had replied to
the criticism Of his primary provis-
ion his report was defeated ~ to 7.
and the majority report adopted unan-
imously.

Freezing the Hair On.
q the Medical limos.

From the MEDICAL Tfmos.
It is reported that Sir Ernest Shackle-
ton recommends extreme cold as one OF
the best means OF strengthening the hair.
Almost all that went with him on his
antarctic expedition found that their haAe-
grew thicker and stronger a. they ap-
preached the pole. It was aiso found that
baidheaded men were almost never found
among those who worked for cold stor-
age company. where the men work all
day in temperature OF 20 degrees OF
frost, and the cold seems to make the
hair thicker.
