ono Aggressive Campaign.
Tho one aggressive Legislative
campaign being carried forward this
week is that by senator Joe Elem.
ING OF Potcau. Fleming was an op.
ponent of the league of nations and
therefore campaigned agains, GOV.
{. nor Cox and Congressman Ferris
his activities were such that he
, urcW down the wrath OF the demo.
cratic campaign committee and his
! announcements that he would be a
candidate for president prntcmpore
, OF the senate occasioncd wide com.
, mcnL The new senate Will have Il
republicans and p democrats. In
| the natural order, Fleming would
not get much democratic support
but Oklahoma politics are strangely
mixed now and no one can foreiel.
Just what may happen. The ropub.
, leans can not organize the senate.
should Fleming gather around him
those democrats who are opposed ip
the state administration and also
: the support of the republican sena'
tors, he could organize the senate
on an anti-ad miuls.ration bass, not
unlikely at this hour.
In any event The Fleming cand-
cacy for senate leadership is among
The interesting things Of the present,
He and the governor are asreed
that thev can never agree Senator
Robert Wallace OF Pauls VALLEY and
senator Tom simpson are the iwu
, other democrats who aspire TO be
president prOtvmpore Of the senate
Wallace is an anti-administrauon
democrat, milder in his opposition
han Fleming. simpson, who resides
at Thomas, is favorable 10 tho gov
ernor and will most likely have the
Administrative support, which can
hc listed as either an asset or - Ia
bil!ty.
Liebtcnant- Governor NJ. l.. Trap
: has long controlled the senate ana
Is a potential candidate for COVER
nor. The bond OF affection between
, Trapp and Governor Robertson is
, not strong, but tho chief officer Of
the senate will seek to cOn'rJ' TIA,
bedy against the republicans and tie
anti-administratiOn democrats Ike

It can not be gainsaid that the or
sanitation outside of tho reg liars
would mean much on the potac''
, map. and it is at this time occupying
; major attention in the STATE caplo'
: building.
, Another Question Mark.
Another legislator whose attitude
on state questions is matter ol
deep interest at this time, Is heu
Harrison of Hughes county He ma,
