chief promoter of the new party plan

COncOrdia. 1t is likely he will be
made chairman Of the state commit

$50 Delegates May Attend.
TIE convention call was issued sew
eral weeks ago and provides for repre-
sentation on the basis OF one delegate
for each ! 600 votes cast for president
two years ago. This basis would per-
nit about 500 persons to sit in the
convention Most OF the counties,
however, have failed to select deIega-
tions and it is doubtful if more than
a score of counties will be represented
1t is probable that the number of ac-
credited delegates will not exceed 100
to $50.
Coughlin and several of his asso-
ciates wanted a new party organiza-
tion when the tax leaguers met here
some time ago They were decided
minority in the meeting and the in
dependent party plan never came up
for cons. .deration-
Reports sent to Topeka in the last
few weeks have indicated that num-
her Of Kansans suspected of Nom
partisan League affiliation were inter
ested in the new party organization.
Some of the league members, how
ever. believe efforts should be con-
the old parties.
Fail To Select Delegates.
Shawnee county and other large
counties have failed to select dele
gates to the convention. Unless these
delegations are filled before the con-
vention opens Thursday a number of
the larger Kansas counties will be
without authorized representation in
the meeting
Refusal of the tax league promoters
TO go into a party has had a decided
tendency to keep down interest in the
independent party call The new
party. however. will appeal to the radi-
cal element Of both parties. observers
believe. in a platform that will con-
denim action of the old political or
Eanizations.
1t is reported that Coughlin re-
Gently wrote TO Henry Ford for finan-
cial aid in promoting a new political
party in this state. Aid was solicited
it is claimed. on the theory that Ford
entertains 8 mbitions as candidate for
the presid ency. One of the dominant
planks in the new party platform will
probably be a demand for presidential
primaries.
Ask Repeal OF 7. c. Law.
Most of the new party supporters
are farmers, Coughhn asserts He be-
Iieves many OF the men who help with
promotion Of the tax league plan will
vote the independent ticket next fall.
Platform policies TO be advocated in
Thursdays meeting will include not
only the presidential primary. but CO.
operative banking. laws for stabiliza-
tion of farm product prices. repeal OF
the industrial court law and a Consti-
tutional amendment for recall of pub
lie officials

TRY TO DISQUALlFY JUDGE
Fifteen Are Indicted for Alleged
Bank ManipuIatiOns.
Was No Early Indication What
Governors Plea Would Be.
Az the Associated Press

Okmulgee, May 3.-Arguments
were being heard on a motion TO dis
qualify District Judge Mark L. Bo-
Earth in the case of John H. Rebold.
former vice president of the Guaranty
State bank here, when the noon re-
cess was taken in arraignment pro-
ceedings against Gov. j. B. A. Rob
ertson of Oklahoma, Rebold and thir-
teen others indicted in connection
with alleged irregularities in the state
banking system in Okmulgee county.
When recess was taken. Governor
Robertson's name had not been
reached on the docket and there was
no indication as to what course his
attorneys intended to pursue in an
swering the charge against him of ac-
cepting a bribe.
Early today attorneys for Governor
Robertson refuse to reveal their line
of procedure at the hearing. Cover
nor Robertson was not expected to ap-
pear.
The specific allegation against the
executive who is under joint indict-
ment with Fred G. Dennis. former
state bank commissioner, is that he
accepted part of a $25.O00 bribe paid
Dennis for allowing the former Guar
anty State bank here to operate when
in falling condition and that to boil
ster it up caused $125,000 in state
funds to be deposited in the bank.
The indictment alleged that Gov
ernor Robertson received one-third of
the bribe money.
operator. then president of the Guar
anty State bank, and John p Cooke,
vice president. were indicted as the
donors of the alleged bribe.
The Guaranty State bank was
merged subsequently with the now de-
funct Bank of Commerce and it was
the failure of the latter institution
that brought about the grand jury
investigation of the banking condi-
tions in the county.
Dennis, the former state bank com
missioner, is the only one of those in
dicted in the banking cases who has
failed to appear and make bond. He
resigned from office early in the year
when superior court grand jury was
conducting an inquiry into the affairs
of the Bank of Commerce and has
been missing since
Several small rewards are standing
for his arrest.
