and probably the only thing that
will prevent them getting ik is that
they got into the game too late.
The only other active candidate
for the honor of entertaining the
convention is Ponca City, and that
is thought to be so far out of the
way—away up on the northern
border of the state — that some
other central point would be pre-
ferable. No more central point
than Norman is conceivable, and
in every way it would be desir-
able. The University auditorium
would be a splendid place for the
meeting, and the accessibility of
the town to all parts of the state
is most admirable.
The delegates from Norman to
McAlester are L. D. Abney, Geo.
Allen, John E- Luttrell, J. L.
Corbett, W. R. Clark, Ernest
Helms and Glen Morris, and they
want every young and old Demo-
crat of the county that can pos-
sibly do so to go with them to Mc-

Mac Neill spoke at the North-
field student conference last sum-
mer, and created so deep an im-
pression there that he was invited
by the National War Work Coun-
cil of the Y. M. C. A. to give three
months of his time to speaking to
the larger colleges of the United
States. He consented to give a
month. He is appearing at only
the larger schools of the country.
The University of Oklahoma is the
only school in the Southern De-
partment, which comprises Texas,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona, to se-
cure the Mac Neill meetings.
