New Year right-that is, as far as

close of the First Monday sale. I'VE
received checks payable at almost
every bank in the county; they were
here from every section" said Mr..
Ersland, head clerk of the sale.
One Of the chief features of the
sale, Mr.. Ersland said, was the va
riety of goods offered and the active
bidding for same. Beyond any
doubt, the sale yesterday was one
of the best we have held during the
past several months the r. M. A.
secrtary declared. "There seemed
to be no extreme shortage of money
and everybody was interested in the
sales.'
G1ickasha banking houses were
busy throughout the day, the result
OF which many bank employees
were forced to work a bit overtime.
A big boost in bank deposits was
reported.
Farmers are becoming more opti
mistic and are predicting brighter
future. This was the statement
made late yesterday afternon by a
local banker. "They are absorbed in
a better spirit and seem to be for.
getting the absurd idea of finan.
cial calamity. The bright side is now
being viewed by many of the
countys farmers" he said.
Several Chickasha merchants
stated yesterday afteroon that they
were elated over the prospects for
the year Of 1921. Il see no cause for
alarm. Everything looks good to

Oklahoma City, Jan. A proce-
dent in the states political history
was set here today when the renub-
lican majority elected at the last
general election fognerly took over
the controlling relns in the lower
house of the eighth Oklahoma legis-
lature when that body convened for
It's regular session at noon.
The voting strength In the house
now is: Republicans 81; democrats
3S.
Tom c. Simpson of Thomas, Gus
ter county was elected president pro-
TEN of the senate after a bitter de-
bate. The vote was 25 to 10.
George Schwabe Of Nowata was
unanimously chosen speaker of the
house of representatives after the
first roll call. The democrats voted
for Edwin Dabney OF Altus on the
opening ballot.
Democrats Control Senate
The fear that has been manifest
among certain ranks of the demo-
cratic party of the state that the
republicans would also control the
senate, proved to be unnecessary.
The democrats will retain power
in the senate. This came about
when the threatened bolt in party
ranks failed to materiali2e at the
caucus of the party held last night.
Another precedent was established
when Mrs. Lamar Looney, democrat,
was installed as senator from the
fourth district and Miss Bessie S.
McColgan, republican, was officially
sworn in as representative from Ro-
ger Mills county.
These are the first women to
serve as members OF the Oklahoma
state legislature 3wo
While there was literally hundreAg 4,
of new measures to BIO brought up
before the Oklahoma solous al th3
present meeting, whlch is the
eighth legislature, it was not ex-
pected that any bills would be defin
itely passed for several weeks, owing
to the bitter fight that is developing
for the control Of the body and be-
cause discussions Is the various
measures were sure to be lengthy
A hot partisan fight is expected
to be precipitated in the event the
threat of members to ask for an IN
vestigation OF certain state depart
ments as well as institutions.
A revolution Of the present regis
tration laws of the state and posi-
BILE changes in the primary laws,
was suggested as one Of the pet
schemes of the republican members
Of the legislature. The talk around
the state house relative to this pos
sibility, was to the effect that tho
republicans would favor placing tho
administration Of the registration
powers into the hands of the county
clerks.
A reform in the primary laws OF
the state was also rumored as hav-
ing gained much support among re-
publican and democratic solons. Just
how far this will be carried was not
indicated and it was pointed out
that such move would entail
lengthy discussion and consideration
by the members of both houses in
revamping the entire primary pro-
gram.
