DURING CONVENTION
Oklahoma Republican Leader

garding the story of the oil deal at

Sanderson, Minnesota official, was

M. D. Thatcher, Pueblo, Colo
RADIO, banker told of loans made TO

By ordering contempt proceedings
brought against barry F. Sinclair
for refusing to an6wer questions put
to him by the senate oil committee,
the senate has givea new impetus to
the demand for the registration or
suspension of Attorney General
Daugherty.
Following the vote to hold Sim
clair in contempt, Monday Senator
IDilI, Of Washington, democrat, call
led for Daugherty's suspension, de-
lclaring that the federal district at
|torney, who was appointed by Daugh
erty, should be given a free hand in
prosecuting the case.
Dill pointed out that Daugherty
himself is under investigation by
another committee, and therefore
has a deep personal interest in the
precedent set in the Sinclair case.
with this question of the right
of committees of congress to OK
famine witnesses being taken to the
supreme court, there is an added
treason why Daugherty should be
suspended" Dill said in the senate.
!"The federal district attorney can
mot be as free to prosecute Sinclair
as he would if he did not have IA,
superior like Daugherty who is
friendly to Sinclair. Daugherty
should he suspended by the presi-
dent so that the federal attorney
may have a fire hand"
Some Of the republican senators
who recently urged Coolidge to drop
Daugherty, have renewed their sug-
gestions. Senator Borah was a call
err at the white house Saturday night
it is learned, and the question Of
Daugherty's early resignation was

MERCHANT rs HERE TO
STAGE new FORD CAR
PROMOTION CONTEST
Everett Announces Effort AT
Suggestion Of Number of
Americus Business Houses
DATE TO BE DETERMINED
Success of Previous Campaigns
Unites Merchants in Latest
Drive for New Business

Americas merchants will stage an
other Ford car trade promotion cam
paign according to an announce
ment authorized this morning by
Henry P. Everett, secretary OF the
chamber of Commerce. The effort
is to be undertaken, says Secretary
Everett, at the suggestion of num-
Der of merchants here who derived
substantial benefit from previous
similar efforts.
During the past two of these con
tests have been conducted by the
Chamber of Commerce for Amerl-
Gus merchants" said Secretary
Everett. Both proved splendid
trade promoters, with added cash re
ceipts reported by every participat-
ing merchant. A total of a half
million dollars poured into the tills
of participating merchants in these
previous contests, according to fig
ures on file in my office, and l be-
lieve- that this third effort will
bring in an even greater sum than
any previous trade expansion effort
ever staged in the community.
Zone reason merchants are urging
the Chamber of Commerce to under
take this new contest effort is the
beginning of the spring buying sea-
son. Within the next eight weeks
is embraced what should be one Of
the most prosperous seasons of the
entire year. While farmers are
buying huge quantities of supplies
for their farms, city residents will
soon begin buying spring clothing,
garden hardware, paints and build
ing materials in unusual quantities.
The Millinery season is opening, toe,
and Easter morn, which is to be in
eluded within the period CT this con-
test, will see practically every wo-
man, and man, too-in the entire
county wearing a new lid
"Too much money that should be
spent with Americas merchants IS
now being spent with mail order
houses and in nearby cities. The au-
tomobile is responsible, in part, for
this tendency to trade in nearby
cities, but it is not the cause that
Americas merchants are concerned
with. The problem with which
Americas merchants is concerned is
to retain and expand their trade ter
ritory. Past campaigns have
brought many new customers into
Americas stores; the volume of
business transacted here has been
materially increased and collections
upon neglected accounts have been
stimulated. l believe these cam
paigns have done more to assist in
the development of new trade terri
tory for Americas than anything
ever before attempted here"
The date upon which the eam-
paign is to be launched has not Vet
been definitely determined, but the
details are now being arranged, and
an announcement coverig this point
may be anticipated at an early da5e.
