MYTH wheels well creased and
w the muffler wide open, the old
Reardon-Fildes-Gl Glasgow steam roller
bumped and caromed over the re-
organization meeting of the Demo-
cratic county central committee yes
terday and after only a temporary
stall the enemy was ironed out and
Woodson r. Norvell named as chair
man of the gr-r-r-eat and guiding
spirit of Tulsa county Democracy.
Norvell succeeds Judge II. +. Schaef-
fer retiring chairman.
The three -gearcd machine which
controlled the meeting began its
work as the chairman's gavel fell on
the desk. Reardon, tfldes and Glas-
gov had enough members with them
to put over anything and everything
they wanted, and never was an Of
flee or resolution in doubt that was
proposed by the crew of the old ma

The successful men were the ones
who lost out at the time of the county
convention and who later called a
rump convention and elected a sec
ond SQUAD of delegates to go to Ok
lahoma City. At that time they were
turned down by the committee on
credentials and it was thought they
had been squelched for all time, but
the comeback they engineered yes
terday had the kick of an army mule.
They wanted Woodson NOrvell to
pilot the old party ship and they put
him over besides naming Denny
Jones as secretary. The opposition

Judge Charles F. Fides was very
promptly and properly named as
temporary chairman following an
eloquent review of his work in the
ranks of the party in the nominating
speech made by M. Is. Glasgow. Judge
Fildcs returned the compliment later
when he introduced one of his in
Vulnerable resolutions which bound
the committee to use all of its power

Glasgow was looking for just such a

were all the others. which included
everything from the calling of the
meeting to the appointment of the

in the shekels for launching the
campaign.
Ed Marshall. armed with a proxy,
nearly started riot when he arose
and asked that the roll be called to
make sure that a quorum was pres
ent. Reardon. Ffldes and Glasgow
were on their feet at once to inform
MIN that he was out of order and de-
manded he resume his seat.
Glasgow gave vent to his feelings
in no uncertain terms and remarked
that he wouldn't stand for none of
this here proxy business nohow."
Marshall was persistent and repeated
" demanded recognition from the
chair but it never came until after
Norvell's name had been placed in
nomination.
BlOuie! Blouie!
Marshall finally was permitted to
