OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 2S.--The
caucusing Of hoAse members to dis
ouss the speakership and the pill
/ grlmage Of senators to Lieutenant
! Governor Trapps office at the capi-
tol, have not entirely distracted the
attention of those gentle souls who
set out early to place themselves be-
tween the threatening storm and the
| frightened interests" This group
was not noted in the campaign liter
ature which flooded the state in ex-
| planation of the elements which met
at Shawnee and formed the tornado.
| 1t was brought TO the scene subse-
quently, and came carrying a wide
assortment of cyclone cellars which
are to be offered to the terrified
and hysterical hOmbros who appear
| 10 be in the path of the storm.
The Old, Old Trail.
These sellers Of cellars have been
| forming and reforming their lines
/ during the past week, attaching the
| wires to the works. and occasionally
| stumbling over each other In the
| haste Of preparation. Leaders OF this
| new group some of whom We're
| accounted as leaders in one OF the
| other groups during the campaign,
| have been scouting over the field in
anticipation Of n profitable harvest.
| The time-hono"ed system OF get
| ting q line on the financial circum-
stances of individual members OF
| ,4ie legislature has been in evidence,
although lack OF dcl!cacy IL the
| undertaking has been apparent, and
| altogether 1t appears that there may
| be a profitable season for the cy-
/ clonc-cellar business. The usual
| "feelers' are being sent out, some
of I'd n n
! leaders in the larmer-labOr groups,
and II would seem from indications,
no effort is to be spared in locat-
/ ing the weak places in the league
armor. The lobby which is to head
| of the free textbook legislation has
! already held Caucuses in one of the
/ big hotels, conferences Of StandardOl
| representatives have occurred at an
/ other of the big hotels; special in
| terests Of various degrees Of import
| ance have been looking over the
| field, while during It all a few .who
are styled spokesmen for the new ad-
| ministration have been buzzing
around the Hobbies offering their
wares in the way OF advice rather
! than consolation.
| Two or three well developed
symptoms OF scandal have already
appeared in the efforts that are be-
/ ing made to capitalize the danger"
/ to the interests from proposed
! farmer-labor legislation, and it is
! predicted that unless a softer pedal
is used, and little more flnesse,
there will be an explosion early In
! the session.
"2I" Almost Ready.
The committee of Fl is still work
| ing on the program" and its Ia
/ bors are to he completed by the time
/ Mayor Walton returns from his va
! cation. II has tackled about ev-
| erything except actual labor leg!s-
/ latlon. which the federation OF labor
/ Is handling directly. Not least sig
| nificant in this regard is the fact
| that a day was spent hearing the
/ bankers and dopositors' represen-
| tatives. on features OF a new bank
guaranty law. BY the middle OF
/ the week practically all OF the
| farmer labor legislation 10 be rec
| commended will be in shape for in
! PRODUCTION as bills, and will be
/ handed to the legislature by Gov
ornor Walton shortly after his in
. auguration, with the recommenda-
/ tion that 1T do pass"
Incidentally, among distinguished
citizens of the state 20 appear be-
fore the committee Of twenty-one
during the past week was Hon. G,
j. wrightsman Of Tulsa Whether
he was present to explain his cam
dldacy for the United states senate
was not stated; but the facts may
come out in the report OF the COM
/ mittee. Legislative topics having
been about exhausted by the COM
mittee of p, what would
be more natural, with extra time on
hand, than TO summoa reported
! candidates for the United States
senate and look them over. Since
II, o. Miller manager OF the league,
has put the seal of approval upon
! Henry Ford for president, II Is
probable that they are going down
the lire, putting in time until
Jack" gets back. The committees
report win be looked forward 20
