4 SCHEME OF STATE CHAIRMAN
TO HAVE HIMSELF RE-
APPOINTED.
WOOFTER REFUSES REQUEST
Staunch Creek County Republican
Declines to Endorse thc Harris
Machine Methods.

Fearing that the endorsement OF
James Harris, state chairman, as ma
tional committeeman from Oklahoma,
which endorsement was secured by
packing the committee with proxies,
the same being made out in blank
and held by Harris, would not be
sufficient to land the Job for him
when the republican national COM
mittee meets in New York tomorrow.
Mr.. Harris, through George II. Dod-
son, secretary of the state committee
has endeavored to secure personal en-
dorsements from members of the state
committee
Last week Mr.. Dodson wrote to each
member of the state committee, ask
ing each one to write a personal let
ter to Chairman Hilles Of the national
committee endorsing Mr.. Harris and
asking his appointment as national
committeeman.
One of these letters was received by
Committeeman John S. Woofter OF
Greek county. Mr.. Woofter, who is one
Of the staunchest republicans in the
state, and one who desires party sue
cess rather than personal domination
of the party by one man, was the only
man in the meeting of the state COM
mittee who openly spoke against the
committee ratifying Mr.. Harris cleo
tton.
In his reply to Dodson's letter Mr..
Noofter gives his views Of the action
ot the state committee, stating that he
does not believe the state committee
has any right to override the wishes
CT the voters of the state in the man.
ner which they did.
Dodson's Appeal.
The correspondence between Messrs
Dodson and Woofter follows:
Oklahoma City, Ser. Ito Mr..
John S. Woofter, Sapulpa, Okla. Dear
Sir: The republican national commit
tee has been called to meet in the
city Of New York on the 18th day Of
September (next Wednesday,.
At that time the credentials of Mr.
| 'arris as national committeeman will
be presented. You will remember
that the state committee elected Mr..
Harris by a practically unanimous
vote. 1t seems to me that 1t would be
a good idea when the national COM
mittee meets to also have on file a
personal letter from practically every
state committeeman. Therefore. l
should be very glad II you coulL see
your way clear to at once send let

action Of the state committee In elect.
ing Mr., Harris be ratified by the ma
tional committee, and of course you
can add anything in support OF Mr..
liarris which may occur to you.
Would you also have the kindness
to write me by return mail so that we
may know before hand that your let
ter Is on file in New York.
Kindly send your letter to- New
York at once so that It may reach
there, If possible, on Monday, or AZ
the latest on Tuesday. Very truly
yours. (Signed),
GEO. II. DODSON.
Secretary State Committee.
Sapulpa, okla. Sept. 15.-Geo. II.
Dcdson, oklahoma City, Okla. Dear
Sir: Yours OF September 12 to hand.
Believe me, l am really anxious fof
the success of the republican party
IN Oklahoma. but hardly thing that
the present attitude Of the state or
ganization will bring the best results.
While | have high regard for Mr..
Harris, l cannot endorse his candi-
dacy for national committeeman and
was the only delegate at the Guthrie
meeting who stood up and opposed It.
believing then as l do now that the
committee meeting at which he was
endorsed was not called together for
tnat purpose and that forty proxies
Of absent members and voted by one
man ought not to stand authoritive
nd final over the wishes Of the great
mass Of republicans over the state
am rot against Mr.. Harris provld-
ing he be selected by a properly called
convention for that purpose, but l
do not believe our party can succeed
If such practices continue and so I am
compelled to refuse your request.
am sending a copy OF this letter
to Chairman Hilles and also to several
prominent republican newspapers of
the state. Respectfully
JOHN S. WOOFTER.
State Committeeman from Creek
County.
