OKLAHOMA CITY, April L.
Ex-Governor Lee Cruce may be

1t Is understood that Messrs.

called that the appointment OF
Wclch In April. 1913, came as Il
distinct surprise, as he was a
banker, and there were several
applicants who were experienced

requires that the commissioner
shall be Il man well Yersed In in
surancc matters. Carter's name
IL mentioned IN some of the arr

was appointed, 1t Is said. after
pressure had been brought to

There also is a rumor that
Franklin. who was Weich's cam

AZ Il matter of dcllcacy. to be
excused from sitting as Il Judge
In the case Of Welch. and that he
will not merely decline to vote.
but will absent himself from the

vldeS that Il vote of two-thlrds Of

To convict. Therefore. the mere
presence of IA senator when the

as II vote OF not guilty.
