—Judge J. B. Dudley, as attorney
for Mrs. Ethel Green, filed suit in

—Judge Glasco says the Socialists
are extremely active in McClain coun-

campaign, and big speakings will be
the order of the day from now until
election. The judge says they are the
most pestiferous creatures he ever had
any dealings with, but they must be
crushed out if the Democrats hope to
maintain their ascendency.

JUDGMENT NOT YET OF RECORD
Judge Cotteral has not yet placed
on record his decision giving a $79,000
judgment to F. E. McCormick against
the City of Norman, and is taking it
under further advisement. The Tran-
script learns that the court is now in
doubt as to its jurisdiction in the mat-
ter, and it may be thrown out of Fed-
eral court entirely, and Mr. McCor-
mick instructed to bring his suit in the
state courts. Should a decision be
given against Norman in this case, a
number of other judgments against
cities in similar cases would have to
be rendered, ^notably one involving
$850,000 of paving in Oklahoma City,
and the latter's attorneys have re-
quested to be heard before final judg-
ment is entered.
