OKLAHOMA CITY. oct. Is. 49,
Tho expected political activities Of
the month have been here In all
Carnostness for the current week
the democrats interminEllng state
and national politics, whilst the hig
generals Of republicans forcgath-
cred 90 make ready for the winters
political movements.
The democrats have more than
ordinary interest In the meeting Of
the national committee, November
], at st. Louis, Mo. Tho meeting
will affect Oklahoma democratic at
fairs in no small way, as there is

some change I'm the lineup, for the
McAdoo leaders are opposed to for
mcr Congressman Scott Ferris. who
has boon mentioned for national
leadership, and the anti-Forris men
Of last year are almost solidly ar
raycd against MCAdoU, whose gen
erals have practically announced they
will have nothing to do with Mr..
Ferris.

leaders OF the state, consisting Of
state Chairman Ben Lafayette and
his cotton woiEher at the hoi.c town
Of Chccotah, have been active in
talking for the former brilliant di-
rector OF railroads and the chair
man invited MIR. MCAdoo 20 make
a speech at Oklahoma city. The
announcement that Mr.. McAdoo
may speak IN the capital city has
aroused no wild enthusiasm and
should the speech take place on the
same night that Attorney General
Freezing is delivering his lecture on
THE Trial OF Jesus tho latter
would probably have the largest au-
dience.
