Kerr Created Confusion.
Major Eugene Kerr, former Mus
| kugce editor and recently defeated
/ by ;. Morton Rutherford for he
senate in Tho Muskogee district ar.
rived at the capita city THURSDAY
| for the purpose Of assisting in the
| democratic campaign. He was
Gore primary supporter and came to
! headquarters on the request OF for
mer Chief. Justice Thomas II. owen
When apprised tnat the demo-
/ cratic campaign was being con-
| Quoted through Cam Campbell. Kerr
! did not take regular assignment.
| explaining that Oklahoma democrats
should be commanded by some one
| having a right 20 vote within the
| state. For two days Kerr has been
officing in the Hotel Bristol hail
wNs and his appearance is that u
a man who Is dressed for action
with no action In immediate sigQL
AS now organized the democratic
campaign Is doing splendidly. Mr.
Campbell is the tituiar head Of the
party With residence in Peunsyl-
yania. Ben Lafayette Is the state
( chairman and pays as much atten.
! ton to Mr.. Campbell as forced 10
do under unpleasant circumstances,
i and no more. Justice owen and tho
/ five patriots who supported Gore for
/ senator have a small room whore
most Of the clerical work is done ana
they will be placed on tho advisory
/ board December 23 or thercaboufS
! Meanwhile Lafayette by virtue "
I his position attends 10 the details
/ of things and is recognized by the
] democratic national committee. Al
though but one ordinary wall separ-
ates his workshop from Mr. Camp
, bell, the information which leaks
| through IL so limited that It Is more
notable for what does not arrive
than for the quantity and dispatch

State Employees Revolt.
At the state house half Of the en-
plOyes are In revolt because Of the
| assessments made to conduct what
| Publicity Manager Luther Harrison
has denominated an economical OK
plOitation of the virtues of the
, league Of nations.
/ But IT must not be construed that
| the democratic campaign commit
tee is advertising the league to any
great extent Since Georgia and
Maine spoke, democrats have been
willing to allow the league to sleep

Governor Robertson is not among
those state house democrats much
( concerned about the arrival of Gov
. ornOr Cox. The national committee
arranged the trip through Ben La
Fayette and he made it certain that
the governor was TO perform at mono
{ Of the functions. IL was the gov
ernOr who put the campaign COM
mittee out Of LaFayette's control
and the Mcintosh county leader has
seen fit to make the governor pn.
derstand that he is yet somewhat
OF a factor in party ranks. Any
I how he has been able to keep the
governors name in the background
and no valet will get 'it out Of that
section with LaFayette's acquies-
ence.
Harrison Is Afraid
Senator Harrisons second epistle
to Cam Campbell reaffirms his he
lief that the guineas are iinEing
. and that a lot of money will be
used to defeat the democratic Canfi-
date for the United States senate.
The $25O,000,OOO fund raised for
Ferris in the primary is probably
depleted somewhat, and tho cry that
money will be used to defeat him IS
/ probably as good as any at this time.
Up to this time the strongest IL
nanc!al enterprise apparent is tho
/ Jeffersonian organization, comprised
| Of democrats who know how to pay
their own way and who appear 70
be very much IN earnest in their
/ opposition to the senatorial aspira-
tions Of Ferris. They are conduct
Ing n statewide campaign on their
own account and have many MEM
bers OF the democratic state central
I committee at their head. Even
democratic nominees for the legis-
lature have sent their approval ana
I promised to do what they can 20
