Jeife!spn's birth Homer Cummings,
formerly democratic national COM
mittee chairman, made a speech re-
ferrina to jefferson as person of
some Importance in his time, but 20
Wilson as the man of all the
ages, etc.
This speech tickled state Chair
man Ben Lafayette and he has run
off three or four additions. mailing
them out to state democrats. the
expense running into big figures.
a little later Hamilton Holt, New
York parlor socialist and editor Of
an obscure magazine, wrote lette:
to President Harding and Chairman
Lafayette mimeographed that out
10 state democrats, using the two
documents to cure the many ills
which overlook the democratic party
while the state chairman was the
commander In chief.
OF courses the Cummings speech
was a red rag 10 the 10000 demo-
Gratis who temporarily left the party
because of the lcaGuc OF nations ia
sue, and other members of the state
committee protested against Latay-
ctte spending the committee finanC-
~ to further estrangc a very large
body OF Oklahoma dcmocrats.
And this led TO still further dis
agreements, for the reason that the
democratic state committee rules
provide for all sort1 Of officers,
among which is that Of treasurer. At
torney II. l.. Fogg OF FL Reno is the
treasurer, but the state chairman
does not allow him to handle the fl
nnnces, telling the other members
OF the committee that such trans
'ers would be a reflection upon my
integrity"
The bolshevik committeeman
complain that they do not doubt tina,
the state chairman is a very honest
man-they know he is, but they. are
rampant and rambunctious because
the chairman is using the funds rails
ed for the democratic state Com-
mittee TO pay for sending out liter-
ature calculated to keep the demo-
cratic party split in two In the mid
die, and they declare that there win
either be a change In the policy or
a battle royal.
Democrats Pan Reorganization.
/, Is widely known that the demo-
Gratis are going TO perfect some sort
ot reorganization, although IL Is
by no means certain what sort of a
reorganization II vii! be.
Those In charge now preparing
for the change were talked into the
preferential convention plan, but OF
course that was only one among
several features Aside from the
local morning newspaper at Okla
homa city, every democratic news
paper in the state that commented
on this plan, gave IT glory hallclu-
iah with the last word spelled con-
siderahly different from our modest
way Of putting IT.
Only I'm one thing are the demo-
cratic leaders all agreed--they ad-
nit that another primary fight OF
the Gore-Forris brand would leave
the democrats uf Oklahoma in about
democrats Of Pcnnavlvania. In fact
the most astute Of these leaders ar,
firm that only the arrogance and
Ignorance of old oklahoma territory
republican dcrelicts made 1t posi-
BILE for rehabilitation under the
present distressing circumstances,
All of these plans TO improve the
conditions in the democratic house,
hold seek TO avoid ono awful oh,
staclo. the present governor Il oul
state. who has been frequently men
toned by The World correspondent
Robertson must be avoided. OF

avoid the Robertson obstacle IN Sec,
