There is also much consideration
given TO the rumor that Judge John
II. Cotteral. of tho western Okla
homa district. may succeed Federal
Judge Hook on tho circuit court of
appeals. In the event that Judge
Cotteral should be advanced 10 the
circuit bench. another big place
would be opened for an Oklahoma
republican, and II cannot be denied
but that there are many who have
been called and 80 far but few have
Been chosen.
United States Marshal Alva Me
Donald has returned from Washing
ton and came empty handed in so
far as landing places FOR those who
have been LEFT by the wayside. In
truth the Washington official
drought has been alarming of late
and those hoping for positions have
heen growing into the belief that
there may be no further political
showers for this commonwealth.
Even the veteran Colonel Amos
Ewing of Guthrie, has again been
wounded while charging the ap-
propriation breastworks First
slated for prohibition officer, he
failed TO connect. and his latest sor-
row is in being deprived OF com
mission as deputy. United States
marshal.
Colonel Ewing still keeps the
American flag flying from the high
est pole in Guthrie In his front yard,
but Il appears 10 act like a lightning
rod and prevents sppointme ments from
coming to visit with him.
Flirting With the Women.
Managers OF both democratic and
republican organizations have been
endeavoring TO win favor with the
women voters Just why there
should be any differentiation be-
| tween citizen of one sex and that
| of another when each has the right
! OF the ballot, has not occurred 20
thoughtful people, but the party
leaders have been trying ito favor
the women
At the meeting OF the democratic
state committee, mmitteeman
Coursey OF Tahlequah, backed bv
| former Congressman Bill Hastings
Of the same city, succeeded in get
ting tho new constitution" OF the
committee amended, and the proviso
is that there shall be woman
member from each of the - coun-
ties and one from each Of the eight
congressional districts, one woman
for each man.
While advertised as evidence that
| y Is showing the women very great
| consideration, as a matter OF fact, II
| IL next TO an open confession that
| some OF the men were arranging in
! advance so that the women might
not oust them from their places.
The republicans had their women
| troops better organized last Year
I than the democrats in tact the
/ democratic women OF the state were
/ practically unorganizod, However.
| IN neither party did the women in
/ large numbers think there should be
! two party organizations II women
| demonstrate their capacity for lead
! ership. there ia no reason why that
capacity should not be recogn ized--
! certainly no reason why some man
| should be put on Just to be IN the
way.
Nor will the dual organization
| plan last long, for the reason that II
is Impractical Men and women are
| much alike and state committee
| with 40 members viii be able 20
! set a quorum about the night fol-
| lowing each presidential election
| not many men or women can afford
! 20 travel hundreds of miles and
| spend large sums OF money for the
| sole purpose OF being addressed by
| a state chairman or some one who
/ happens to have the time to knock
! OF an hour TO make speech, and
| that speech more often tiresome
! than instructive.
Republican state Committee.
Renewed interest is being taken In
/ tho reorganization Of the republican
/ state committee. Some OF this may
be attributed 10 the fact that Mrs,
. otis Il Cureton has entered upon
her duties as postmaster at Nusko-
gee and D. expected 20 resign Hs
vice.. hartman Nf IN. committee.
This is not mandatory but q IS the
/ rule, imaginary sometimes, taat

iniaresi IN partisan politics, Ma
