who have attended republican meet

and never slow to act.
They're Being Timed.
1t IL quite ominous that the wheel
horse republicans who generally
prognosticate and do considerable
storming ahead of real voting are
silont and oven the few who are talk
ing or writing counsel peace at al
most any sacrifice. Even the i'm
petuous Everett Purcell of the Enid
Events has tanned down to a point
where one would imagine he was
about to ask admittance to the Old
Mems club.
There has been some activity
among republican women of the
west side, largely in the way of re-
suscitating clubs which were or

during the campaign OF 1920, al

committee for the ensuing two-year
period.
Some New Entries.
The week has furnished some new
names TO be attached to the already
long list Of democrats who may as
pirc 20 the Eoveruorship. The World
correspondent has occasionally re
fvrrod to the fact that senator Tom
simpson of Thomas thinks he Is
candidate for governor He was
afflicted with this malady last win
ter and has been unable to get 1t en-
tirely out of his system The peak
point of his official career is that he
stood FOR Governor Robertson from
the beginning, and that cannot be
truthfully labeled AZ an asset in the

Another senator, Jed johnson of
Walters, is making "A noise Ike

been unusually disturbed because of
his fulminations. II can be said for
senator Johnson that he ought to
mako as good governor ns he did
"A senator, and that is not saying
any too much or indicating prefer
cucc for his cause.
Even Doctor George Alonzo Wa

But the one Eubolnatorial topic
which agitatcs many aspirauts. ls
no less than Campbell Russell. His
activities never cease, and even the
Coatlcss episode at Purcell renewed
tho fear among others that tho little
corporation commissioner might at
least decide to he candidate for
governor, at least it is certain that
he is speaking to SO manipulate
a candidate different from any now
mentioned
The farmer movement has been
mentioned previously in Tho World
columns and it must always be re-
memhcrod that he is member Of
that organization and very close to
President John simpson, likcwise
that he is ambitious to have certain
policies carried into governmental
execution
For the reasons mentioned and
others, some of the other candidates
