FRANK FRANTz EYES
BARREL OF WEEKS

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1S.-Former
Governor Frank Frantz of Bartlesville,
who some months ago launched a
boom for Harry Sinclair, wealthy
Tulsa oil operator, for republican ma
tional committeeman to succeed big
Jim Harris of Wagner, is also said
to be making strenuous efforts to have
a hand in the distribution of the funds
from the Barrel of Senator Weeks
Of Massachusetts, who is seeking the
republican, nomination for president
Frantz, who was Roosevelt appoin-
tee, it is understood, has written
number of letters to the managers of
the Weeks campaign in the hopes
that he will be named as the distribu-
tor of the Weeks money in Oklahoma.
Former Congressman Bird Mcclure of
Tulsa is, however, said to have beaten
Frantz to it and will look after the
Weeks interests in the state.

New York, Oct. 1S.--Justice town
send Scudder in the supreme court
at Mineola opened today the sealed
verdict of the jury in Joseph OlCon-
nor lSt. Johns suit for $4,000 against
Warren A. iBrone for the alienation
of the affections of Mrs. st. John.
Browne swore at the trial that though
he is "a years old, he never kissed or
hugged woman--no, never even
held hands with one. And the jury
gave st. John $1,000, but Browne
says he is going to vindicate his
years of innocence and circumspec-
tion by an appeal. 1t was true, ad-
mitted Browne, he once sat in Mrs.
St Johns lap, but her husband he
declared, had put him there.

Elmer Thomas is one of Ferris fellow
townsmen. j. Elmer, the talent, be
lieves, has a little bud of his own
which he is nurturing carefully in the
hope that the political weather may
be favorable to its development. Judg-
ing, however. from the opinionated re
marks of the lobby loungers, j.
Elmer's bud will thrive as that of a
barberry bush as against Ferris plum
tree.
Ferris has a strong hold upon young
democrats and the fact that mention
of him as candidate for governor
has found favor in eastern Oklahoma
puts him into the race with big show
of-strength to begin on, the political
sages said.

BOOMED FOR GOVERNOR
AT MUSKOGEE

Muskogee, Okla, Oct. 13.--A politi-
cal blossom which remained within
the bud for a long time, burst forth
and scattered its psllin upon tried
lground last week and as result
Congressman Scott Ferris of Lawton,
looms larger than ever as guberna-
torial possibility three years hence.
Although the blossom may not be
expected to develop fully within the
next three years, and although it is
somewhat early in the season to judge
of the prospects OF maturity for polit-
ical fruit, there are indications that
this Ferris political blossom will be
carefully guarded in order that it may
not be prematurely nipped.
1t was at the Sewers hotel, which,
on Friday night, was Oklahoma's po-
llitical Hoffman house that the bud
popped open aud the features of the
lcongressman took plain outline in the
full blown blossom. State Senator
James II. Sutherlin of Wagner, was
among those present at the popping.
Scattered here and there in the
crowded lobby were Congressman w.
w Hastings of Tahlequah, James II.
Davenport of Vinita, Judge r. G. Allen,
Creek tribal attorney; Franklin Miller,
mayor of Muskogee, and Ben F..
Harrison of Calvin, a member of the
Legislature and former secretary of
state There were scores of lesser
lights who might have heard if they
had kept their ears open.
Shipping a Big Issue.
Congressman Ferris had been telling
some friends that something must be
done about American shipping. Were
losing out every day. Our foreign
trade is being shot all to pieces be-
cause we have no Ships he said.
"This is a matter that congress will
have to take up very seriously this

HEAD OF AGGIE BOARD
STARTS COMM0TION WITH
A NEW PROGRAM

Oklahoma City, Oct. 1ls.-Frank M.
Gault, president OF the state board of
agriculture said today that meet
ing of the board win be held October
10. This meeting has been called to
elect treasurer of the board in pur-
suance of the opinion of Attorneys
General Freezing to the effect that
Mr.. lGault as president of the board
may not hold the office of treasurer,
position which he held prior to his
election as president and which has
NOT since been otherwise filled. The
object of. electing treasurer of the
board is in order that the board
may receive the Morrill, fund from
the federal government, now held in
the state depository, which the opin-
ion of the attorney general holds
should be in the custody of the treas
urer of the board of agriculture.
Mr. Gault said that the opinion of
the attorney general as tos his hold
ing two offices suits him and 'that be
has been trying for some time to get
one of the other members of the board
to accept that office, but none of
them wanted to hold it. 1t seems
likely that c. B. Campbell of Minco,
a member of the board, will be made
treasurer, and that the Morrill, fund
