OKLAHOMA CITY, April 30
Oklahoma's political skies have been
OF all varieties during the current
week and the political chess players
have been giving illustrations of both
skilled and unskilled playing. While
the political plum tree was reported
to be about ready to yield up it's
fruit at Washington. the members
of the state legislature met and
Joined in a grapple to determine
whether or not the old machine,
mislabeled democratic" is still TO
continue i.s onslaughts on the state
strong box.
Quite naturally the Washington
dispatches telling of a tentative Okla
homa patronage slate as favored
by Attorney General Daugherty ere
ated the major attention among lead
ing, republicans, although, AZ a mat
ter of candid fact. the concern of
the average man, democrat, repub-
lican and socialist, il turned toward
the statehouse. where the determin-
alton OF issues is Of more concern
than as TO who shall hold public
office and draw the pay for such
holding.
II Is admitted at the capital city
that the announced Daugherty slate
for oklahoma republicans has
aroused some criticism and not n
little derision. 1t is not believed here
that Representative Victor Locke OF
Antlers will be finally installed as
superintendent of the five civilized
tribes although his name was so
used with the publication of the
Daugherty slate.
Mr. Locke did not make such a
popular hit with the house of rep
resontatives as to excite wild waves
OF enthusiasm in connection with
his name, and those acquainted with
the history of the state and its poll
ties are not overly excited as TO his
final landing of the position.
Daughcrty's Slate.
Anger and amuSement-acco

over the announcement that Alva
Mcdonald is slated to be assistant
warden Of the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth, Kan, predominated,
The position pays a salary OF $4,000
per annum, and Mr.. McDonald's s
living habits will not conform Ia
that standard OF wage. Very GER
tainly ne did not ask that position,
and whether he is offered Il az an
heir to the Hamon political estate
or on his own account, 1t is certain
that he will not be "puffed- up
over the proffcred post.
Republicans of western Oklahoma
have FOR a long time all practically
conceded that Clint Strong of Clin-
ton would be named marshal Of the
western district. He did not have
the state organization support but
because Of the fact that he was one
OF the wealthy men TO back the
president prior To his nomination
II was believed he would be reward
