It appears that the moving spirit
Of the meeting at shawnee, where
the farmers and laborers organized
their third party or moving picture
show, was none other than our old
friend ]. Luther Langston OF okla
homa City. For a dozen years Col
onel Langston has been busy pro-
pagating socialism, and at times has
risen to peak points with his party.
To him more than any other single
person IL due the credit for the
commencement OF the socialist daily
paper in Oklahoma City, but for the
past few months he has had no Of
fetal connection with that publica-

losers, neither OF those old organi-
cations has lost one officer OF as
high a rank as j. Luther Langs-
ton has long held among the SOCIAL
lists OF the state. Therefore, 1t Is
possible and also probable that the
new division will be largely COM
prised OF socialists working under
new headline.
Novelty in Politics.
Mrs. Warren II. Brown OF Sa-
pulpa, newly elected vice chairman
Of the republican committee, has
been at the capital and consulting
with Chairman Alexander and Act
ing Secretary j. d. Morton. II IL a
novelty now, but perhaps Will be
common before another year has
elapsed. or course, during the last
campaign, Mrs. Cureton remained
at republican headquarters, but
there were numerous other women
campaign workers. and Mrs. Brown
hears tho distinction of being the
first woman to "sit In" with the big
generals in time OF political peace.
