He was a peak figure in the house
ugating work and has taken
the most decided stand against the
state administration. Naturally ne
has received the greatest and the
most prolonged abuse from the state
administration and he has served
them hot shots from the very begin
ming. No Oklahoma legislator has
ever undergone harder grilling
than has Newman and Just as cer-
tainly no legislator has ever dealt
such telling blows at state admin
istratiOn as the kindly looking rep
resentative from Durant. From a
political standpoint, he is to be
watched-however that does not
mean anyone can expect TO find him
trying to make "A governor out of
any material now in the statehouse.
Pilgrims Are Returning.
Many pilgrim republicans who
Journcyed TO Washington to ascer-
tain how the Harding distribution
OF loaves and fishes was TO be made,
have returned. The dispatches are
different from what the democratic
state machine had sent out. Ac-
cordlng TO our statehouse friends
the administration had National
Committeeman Jim Harris all down
and out and Senator Harreld sorely
scumfited.
The news stories do not bear out
| that advertised schedule. Harris Is
not overly communicative at any
time and never over advertises a
schedule. lie did say when he went
to Washington that the wishes OF
the republican senator and the
members OF congress should be rec
1 oBnized, as they were tho elected
representatives OF the people. and
such little as has been heard from
Washington indicates that policy is
prevailing and likelv 10 continue for
an indefinite period OF time.
, rms was to be expected for the
reason that a new administration
seldom stages contest against the
elected representatives OF its own
party; assuredly the republican ali
! ihInlstration was not going TO pitcn
n tght with a senator who in the
| space Of one short year had oye,
/ come a democratic majority of
| 10000 votes and appeared at ne
| eapioi as senator and with five
members OF congress along for good

place that the mightiest little battle

\ Woman Postmaster. -
| Washington dispatches also relate
that Mrs, Otis H. Cureton, vice.
! chairman OF the republican state
! committee, Is TO be chosen postmis-

! will be made by Congressman Alice
| Robertson and the close personal
friendship OF the two women has led
to the conclusion the appointment
will be made.
IL will not be novel idea for a
woman mistress at Muskogee,
for Congressman Robertson once
held that position and filled IL with
considerable credit to herself.
