rel for members Of the state board

jeeted. the senate apparently having

no more nominations f9r the board till
the general session convenes in Janu-
ary.
What disposition win be made of

tion Of Ira L. Cair Of Muskogee and

who were eontending for supremacy,
anc this came as a compromise after
tho question Of poatponement had
been defeated in the open senate. The

tory OF the board controversy, show
ing that Commissions had been issued
to one faction, and that the governor
later attempted to withdraw them and
issue new commissions. It was agreed
