Punished for Others.
II is rather illustrative of politi-
cal life to recall that the principal
criticism now being made OF the
senator was over two appointments
which he opposed-Ed Dyche OF
Oklahoma City to the wardenship of
the Atlanta prison and Alva McDon-
aid OF Eel Reno to be United States
marshal for the western federal dis
trlct.
Dyche and Mcdonald have many
friends and about an equal number
OF enemies In the central portion of
the state. and while their reaching
place caused JOY, Il likewise brought
criticism from others, some of
whom blame the senator for not OPP
posing them to the utmost limit. IT

More Democratic Trouble.
But while the republicans have
obstacles for the morrow, the dem

governor has been out OF the state

having journeyed TO Toronto, Can
