at between $4,000 and $4,000. He

Wilson Forces Have Control.

HOUSTON, Tex, May 27-The
night before the democratic conven-
ton tomorrow showed the Wilson ma
jority in sufficient numbers to instruct
all forty Of the Texas delegates to
Baltimore for him for the presidential
nomination. The Harmon leaders
said frankly they would abide by the
result Of the recent county preslden-
tial conventions In Texas, which will
give Wilson a majority tomorrow,
which will elect thirty-two district
delegates and eight delegates at large
The only prospects for contest to-
night lies in the making Of a platform
to express Texas ideas on national
democratic issues this year. These
prospects were numerous and consd-
erably complicated by factional state
politics, especially the campaign prln-
clples of various candidates for state
senatorial offices.
Some Of the Wilson men say they
favor strong and progressive plat
form regardless of its effects on state
issues" The members caucus tonight
to decide on their organization tomor-
row an dthe possibilities Of con-
certed platform sentiment. Harmon

The first cutting Of alfalfa is well

two or three more crops may be cut
before cold weather sets in next fall.
Two weeks ago alfalfa was selling
at 1925 a ton. Today 1t is selling around

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 27.-(Spe-

all over the state, little credence is
given to the intention attempted to
have been reflected by Governor
Lee Cruce in his latest utterances
concerning the building of a state cap
itol here.
Not as governor. but as a private
citizen, Mr.. Cruce has received so he
states, 100000 with which to begin
the erection of a million dollar capitol
(which may be a two million dollar
affair before 1t is finished. Actual
work will begin within five weeks, ac-
cording to the governor. who admits
no plans or specifications have been
prepared. no blue prints drawn-yet
plans and blue prints seem to be the
least of the governors worry because
work is to begin at once"
Petition Literally Signed.
In nearly every part of the state
there are being circulated petitions
which will initiate a bill to be voted
on at the general election next fall.
The bill has for its purpose the To-

which place it was removed by au-
tomobile by OklahOma's only eX-goV-
ernor, who Is now campaigning
the state against Senator Robert l..

been in Guthrie since he took his de-
parture with the capital removal
The petitions now being circulated
are being signed most literally where
ever presented. Those who had any
semblance of faith in the motive back
of the capital removal from Guthrie,
apparently lost it when the failure OF
the Columbia Bank and Trust com
pany was so enshrOuded on account
of official denial to allow the facts to
be laid bare. The failure has never
been given to the public, and the pub
lie has lost faith in the state for hon

tions for taking the capital back to
Guthrie are being almost unanimous
ly signed by taxpayers all over the
state.

The fact that Governor Cruce was
led to make his recent announcement
concerning the starting of work on the
capitol at this time is believed to have
been inspired by politicians and real
