OKLAHOMA INITIATES
FARMER LABOR PAR
TY MOVE In STATE
AT Convention Held in Canadian
County-Start Petition to Get 500
SIgnatures-June 18th Convention
Endorsed.

At a meeting called by the Cana
dian County Branch of the Farmers
Union OF Oklahoma, the first steps
were taken to organize a Farmer
Labor Party in the State of OklahO-
ma. About fifty farmers and work
ers from various parts OF the state
attended the meeting called in the
community House in Cleveland COun-
ty and endorsed the call for the June
18th National Farmer-LabOr COnven-
ton IN ST. Paul and appointed a
committee to call a Convention in
oklahoma for May 9th and 10th.
The movement in Oklahoma re-
-celVed Its first impetus at the recent
convention of the Farmer-Labor Re
construction League at Ell Reno. This
convention endorsed the Democratic
ticket although 165 out of about 400
delegates voted against such en-
dOrsement.
AS a result of this a preliminary
committee was organized to take the
initiative In calling a convention t.
organize the State Farmer-Labor
Party. The possibilities of establish
ing State Faremr-Labor Party in
nave D6eu SASdCly 11pION-
ed by action of the state Legislature
last month which changed the cleo
ton laws In the state so that a new
Party may get can the ballot by Sc
curing five thousand signatures. Pri-
or to this amendment to the election
law there was no possibility for a
new Party to secure representation
on the ballot.
The move for the organization of a
Farmer-LabOr Party is securing wide
spread support thruout the state and
1t IS quite certain that at the Con-
yention called May 9th and 10th in
Oklahoma City there will be a large
group OF farmers and city workers
represented and a state organization
Will come into existence.

I'M A. NUT ON

Well Known Prune Peddler Degener-

MORAL PERVERT FROM MINI.
A comical prune peddler, who trav-
els over North Dakota and Montana,
writes letters from different points
to people in the northwest, any per-
son, who is in anyway interested in
any progressive political activity and
signs himself, Pm A Mutt. This
particular prune merchant is cOnsid-
cred half Witted by his fellow prune
distributors. In fact as near as the
Producers News can learn, he is a
moral perVert of an uncomfortable
kind, who is wanted at Brainerd,
Minnesota, in connection with statu-
tory crime committed upon a small
bell boy at the hotel RansfOrd. This
Mutt does not cross the borders into
Minnesota except under an assumed
name. The following letter to the
Producers News is the first outburst
of the sort for over two years. We
thought he was in jail and he prob
ably was, but he seems to be at large
again:

Seven alternate bids were received,
the lowest of them being the Brann

including the track supports was
100000 Their bids for Uniform
flooring over the entire bridge with
the tracks removed was $4,000. The
contract was awarded with the I'M
derstanding that work be common
ced as soon as possible on that
part of the repairs not affected by
the tracks. Then as soon as the Pub

decision the contract will be compile
ted accordingly.
A much better flooring can be
provided in case the trolley tracks
are removed. The entire roadway
will be floored with oak timbers
four inches thick, and OVERLAPPING
this where the wheels of vehicles
pass will be four parallel lines of
steel plates, each "a inches wide.
This will give a uniform and solid
flooring of the greatest strength
possible.
1t is expected to maintain traffic

but of course it will have to be re-
layed over one side while work is
being done on the other side.

Motor License Bureau
For LamberfpiIle

Lambertville-The State Motor We
hiele Department has appointed
James A. Cleary, former postmaster,
as a representative of that depart
ment to issue registration and driv-
ers' licenses. Mr.. Cleary will open an
office in McGowan's Plumbing Shop,
at the corner of North Main and
Coryell streets, on November LIST.
The rapidly increasing number of
motor vehicles in the State has made
it imperative to increase the number
to branch offices where licenses may
be issued. Previously the only regis
tration offices in Hunterdon County
We're at Pennington and Hampton.
And altho Pennington is nearer,
most of the local motorists have
gone to Trenton for their licenses
because the trip is more easily made.
But this has caused long waits due
to the congestion at Trenton. There.
fore local motorists will welcome the
advent of an office in this city.
Drivers and registration cards
can be issued by Mr.. Cleary to mo-
torists from any part of New Jersey,
and it is anticipated that drivers
and owners will patroniae the local
office from even Mercer County.
However, drivers tests cannot be
made here.
