half Of Harvey Maxey are carried out.
According to the story told in the lob
bies here, Congressmen Davenport
and Carter made deal in Washington
whereby they would control the cleo
tion of a speaker Of the house. They
both wrote letters to their friends
throughout the state. urging the selec-
ton Of Crawford. and this act has
aroused much bitter feeling among the
other candidates, especially among the
supporters OF the Muskogee man, who
declare that unless Davenport sup
ported the man from his own district
he should have kept his hands out OF
the fight

"Twenty-five prominent MusKogeo
men who are here working for MaXey,
Saturday sent a telegram to Daven-
port, telling him to either keep his
hands off or to support Maxey, sun
day an answer was received from the
Vinita man. telling Linn that his
friendship for Crawford was of long
standing and IF you understood my
position you would not be angry with
me-"
