Democratic state Chairman Ben
/ i. Lafayette has called the meet
| ing for the committee reorgani2a-
/ tion FOR April 6. At this meeting
| the chairman OF the democratic ma
/ tional committee Cordell Hull Of
Tennessee, is scheduled for two ad-
dresses.
There will be ~ members Of the

, them all being present in person or
even by proxy is remote. A neN

new committee will try TO work un-
/ der the provisions Of n constitution
that was adopted last January.
Dropping From the List.
| As predicted the Shawnee candi-
| dates Endorsed are not all on the
/ program and more are expected to
( let go The convention indOrsed Mrs.
/ Fordyce Of Shawnee for state super
| intendent Of schools. but the consti-
tuition prohibits a woman holding
that office therefore her name has
| been dropped from the list.
Mayor Fay Copnor OF Fairview,
indorsed for corporation commits
sloner. will not file for that office,
and several minor names are to go
/ off that "slate."
Under the provisions OF the Shaw
/ nee convention committee ap-
pointed can fiji up the slate after it
! is found vacancies occur, and an ef-
| fort Is being made to induce others
to ride on the wagon. Bad roads
| perhaps cause some to shy at taking
the trip at this rainy season of the
year.
Where Is Fred Anyhow?
Only one amusing thing of a po-
| litical nature has come from the re-
cent long list Of bank troubles. A
local morning newspaper last sun
day contained an editorial, inquiring
as to the whereabouts OF Fred Den
mis-, former bank commissioner, now
alleged to be absent from the state.
| lie was indicted at Okmulgee for
various offenses. but had been alb
sent for several weeks prior TO the
return OF the several indictments.
The local newspaper whipped up and
begged the authorities to step right
out and bring Fred back home, tell
ing all about how necessary it is. As
Il matter OF fact the absence OF the
former commissioner is OF far less
| importance TO the people Of this
state than is ths payment OF the
money 20 depositors In the defunct
state banks. Moreover, those now
speaking out in church were so
closely connected with the cabal
which appointed Mr.. Dennis, that
the shout TO seek the man has a
peculiar sound to those who know
about state affairs. II Brother Den
mis-, admittedly the best financier
that has played state politics. will
just help depositors get their funds,
the majority OF them will ask that
he be pardoned for any little error
he made while in office.
viii lie Enter?
The name Of a rather well known
republican, Roy Johnson of Ard
more, is being tsed as a possible
candidate for state treasurer and
Mr.. johnson, while in Oklahoma
city, admitted that he had given
the subject some consideration. lie
