joint offices of the county court house.
Several business men were invited to

real estate man and one newspaper
man responded. The hotel men were
urged to come. One of them stated

business he got anyway, his hotel
was full last night and the night be-
fore and he seemed to be satisfied
with his business. The meeting was
called for the purpose of sending a
delegation to the State Press associa-

VACANT OFFICES
CAUSES ACTIVITY
ON PART OF CANDIDATES FOR
VARIOUS APPOINTMENTS DE.
PARTMENTS OF STATE.

With the possibility of a number of
vacancies in the appointive depart
ments of the state government, spec.
ulation is already rife among the
friends Of the Cruce administration
as to who will be named to fill
the places. The term of r. W.
Dick, warden Of the state peniten-
tiary, has already expired and 1t is
understood he will not apply for re-
appointment. The question of
whether there shall be a change ir
the office of commissioner OF health
is now before the governor: Wheth-
er Lon Frame is entitled to his
seat on the board of affairs is a
question: for the supreme court and
the matter will be decided May .,
when Mr.. Frame has been cited to
show cause why he is remaining IN
office, following quo warranto pro-
ceedings filed by Attorney General
West.
Already there are a number o.
applicants for the places. 1t is un-
derstood that State Fire Marshal c.
c. Hamlnonds, an old-time sheriff
of Oklahoma, having served in this
capacity in Comanche county, would
accept the wardenship of the state
penitentiary. C. V. Porter, eX-sher'
iff of Garfield county, is another
who is slated for the job by his
friends, although Mr., Porter is an
avowed candidate for United States
marshal for the western district
Representative C. C. Childers, an
other Garfield county man, it is uu-
derstood, would accept the place if
it were offered him and would glad
ly serve a term at McAlester if pu-
in control of the institution. Mr..
Childers, is also an ex-sheriff, having
served a number of years in his ma
tive country in Arkansas.
Governor Cruce has sought to plI
the appointees out of his jurisdic-
tion and has recommended the leg
islature to pass a bill which would
not allow any state official to be
member of the board of prison con.
troll. His purpo Sc in this. he has.
pointed out, is to make the board
more business-like, with the mem
bers OF that body to have sufficient
time to attend to the duties of the
department. If the legislature acts
upon the recommendation, no ap-
pointments will be made by the gov
ernor and the new warden would be
left to the new board.
In the event that there is a va
cancy in the office of the commits
sioner of health, it is understood that
DIR. f. B. Fite of Muskogee, one OF
the new members of the state board
of education, would have an excellent
chance for the position if he would
accept. 1t is believed, however, that
his practice would not permit it and
in this event there are several 9th
ers whom the friends Of thy goyer-
nor feel would be acceptable though
no one OF the list can be selected as
a winner.
Should the supreme court hold that
Lon Frame. as chairman of the
board of affairs, is not entitled to-
his office, having failed to be con-
firmed by the ste/e senate, the man
