TESTIMONY TO Be TAKEN
IN VARIOUS COUNTIES

Oklahoma City, Okla Ian 81 In
spite Of objections by Attorney Mosier
representing Campbell Russell, it was
decided Friday by Secretary OF
State Ben r Harrison TO take testl-
mony in various counties On the pr)-
test against Russell's initiated peti-
tion to recall the state board OF agri.

held in Muskogee on February ) 8
and I, and dates may be set later for
sessions in eleven other counties
Another petition. similar to the
one now under fire, was fled with
Secretary Of State Harrison Friday,
which is taken as a sure indication
that Russell realizes that his first pc
tition cannott possibly pass muster.
1t Is rumored that one Of Russell s
reasons for abandoning his
first petition was to save all chance
of any criminal prosecutions which
might result from further disclosures
in regard to alleged forgeries oi the
part OF scme of those interested In

Taft will leave Washington tonight
on tlvf day trip that will take him
to New York and Cleveland, Columbus
and akron, Ohio, the most important
journey In the eyes of many of his
friends, ne has planned since he got
back from the west. Friday night the
president still was suffering from a
cold he contracted early in the win

ious enough to make him break en-
gagements made many weeks ago.
In New York the president will be
the guest over night of his brother
and will attend three dinners and one
ball, but his political advisors are less
interested in this part OF the trip
than they are in his first visit to O1io
since the Cincinnati election last
November. Mr. Taft will spend three
days in his home state; make more
than a dozen speeches and probably
see many political leaders He will
not talk about his nolitical opponents
