according to astrology. The Sun

Under this planetary government

evident In business as well as in

The Sun gives evidence Of un-

Love affairs should prosper under

CHAPTER LXNIN.

heart seemed 10 almost stop beating

Mrs. Orton IL hard up. She IL

You certainly could not entertain

night. Whether you could have pre-

Told at Oklahoma City

Arrival of Senator Joe Fleming,
democrat, of poteau, and the an
nounccd anti-Robertson democratic
candidate for president pro-tempore
OF the senate, was one OF the fea-
lures. IL am a candidate for presi-
dent pro-tcmpore of the senate"
said Fleming. "and it goes without
saying that ] am for retrenchment
I'm state expenditures, and for good
government. II is unnecessary to
add that NY candidacy does not
meet with Governor Robertson's ap-
proval. for he can not understand
such ideas of government.
II am aware of the fact that II
I enter the democratic senatorial
caucus the governor will control II
and have me bound and gagged, but
there is no law to force me into
that caucus and at this time 1t APP
pears to be NY duty to absent my
self. II convinced to the contrary,
I shall change my course. I left
all hope of being an acceptable can

two candidates for president pro-
| tempore--Bob Wallace and Tom

either OF them will suit the gov
ernor. am rather proud OF the
fact that the governor does not like
my ideas OF government. In my
country the governors official rating
is poor indeed, and. II possible, 1t
will grow even poorer"
Senator Fleming's attitude is the
talk of the capital city political gos.-
sipers. 1t is known that seven other
| democratic members OF the senate
are arrayed with him against the
governors legislative policies, but II
Is not believed that all of them will
have the courage to rempin out OF
the democratic caucus. Five demo-
cratic senators supporting Fleming
would land the place, as the seven
teen republicans, recognizing they

prefer 10 follow y leader who had
defied the opposition party caucus.
Then. too. Fleming led the revolt in
southeastern Oklahoma against Fer
ris and Cox. and his independent at
titude prior to that time has won
