OKLAHOMA CITY. June 10.-As
a result OF the conference held In
Oklahoma City Tuesday night, par
tlclpated in by about 40 democratic
lawyers and flnanciers, the follow
ing program has been tentatively
outlined:
l. To continue the efforts TO
eliminate candidates until, IL possi-
bic, the opposition to Mayor Walton
can be reduced to one.
g II this should fail and walton
secures the democratic nomination.
10 capture the democratic state con-
vention which meets on August Is,
and repudiate the farmer-labor pro-
gram by adopting reactionary
platform for the mayor to run on.
The whole situation Is charged
with dynamite, according to those
who actively participated in the
Tuesday meeting. Those who called
the meeting were supporters OF
Thos. ". owen who as vice presi-
dent ,of he American National bank
in Oklahoma City has the backing
OF the big financial interests repre-
eented in the capital; but a num-
Der OF supporters OF r. II. Wilson
we're invited to the feast OF reason
and flow of soul which occurred in
the chamber rooms on that eventful
night, and IL had been agreed upon
beforehand that all guns should be
left outside. The meeting was to
discuss a common peril. BolsheVik1
were at the gates!
Swat the Soviet!
Swat the soviet" was adopted as
the shobboieth OF Ali Baba and the
10 politicians. In hoe signo vermi-
cell!
Such was the result OF the latest
mass effort to consolidate the finan-
clal and political forces now behind

either one of them or a compromise

70 start a fire that might eventually
Tighten Marland and his associates
INTO capltulation or compromise
with tho Standard group and put n
candidate of the latter crowd OF pa
triots In the governors chair. The
meeting was preliminary and educa-
uonal IL was intended TO convince
ine wilson managers that a suffi-
Client common danger exists to JUS
tlfy a consolidation OF all interests
opposed to Walton.
pursuant to this task, the speak
ers were called upon to report or
ine progress of the farmer-labor
league in their respective localities

tlo,s were permitted to say what
sasy pleased about the league. and
rul advantage was taken of this lib.

z. were unanimously reached AT ap.
ploflmdtely the same time. One
was that the democratic party would
never permit itself 10 be chewed uI
