R. C. MEEK FAILED TO FILE
Parsons Man Was Considered as In
dependent Candidate for Congress.

Richard c. Meek, of Parsons, pro-
posed Independent candidate for con-
gress in the Third district, failed to
file. Reports in the state house are
to the effect that his petitions were
not properly filled and that he could
not complete detailed plans before the
books closed Thursday night.
Meek proposed to run as an indus
trial court advocate. Many of the
state administration leaders were pre-
pairing to get behind him as a retalia-
ton for w. H. Sprouts opposition to
the court act. Sproul sought a plank
in the Republican state platform de-
manding repeal of the labor court law.
The possible entrance of Meek in the
Third district fight caused more ex-
citment in state politics this week than
any event since the party council.
