This is the section of the city where
73 per cent of the infantile <1. in
.Tidy occurred th|l yeaf as agi * 57
per cent last year, though but 2" per
cent of the city's population dwells
there. During t.hp second week in
August in this district the baby death
toll leaped to 194 as against 142 on the
preceding week, an increase even
above the hfcavy mortality record of
period last year.
' Individuals in this quarter have
queer ideas of^oconomy. just like the
municipal s tethers," declares Mrs.
Esther FV/lkenstein, bead resident of
the Settlement, "they appear to think
It's cheaper to buy coffins than ice or
refrigerators, pr even milk saving de-
vices. Increased cost of living and

According to the present plans of
James A. Harris, of Wagoner, acting
chairman of the republican state com-
mittee. there will bo a meeting in this
city of the committee in the near
future, probably September 15. Mr.
Harris has not fully determined upon
the date but rather favors tho day
mentioned. Whenever the date, how-
ever, sufficient notice will be given to
permit every member of the state
committee to attend.
THlfe are ,many matters to be dis-
cussed by the republican state com-
.tltieerran, not leu^t oi all tho refer-
endum of the* Taylor election law and
the course to be pursued in fighting
it's going Into effect. The statehouso
democracy <is determined to prevent a
referendum on the law. if possible, and
In fact Leo Meyers, assistant secretary
of state, has sent out the report that
the law is in effect, thus ignoring all
the republicans of the state have done
to secufn a referendum vote by the
people and the pending case in the
state supreme court which would com-
pel tho secretary of state to officially
recognize the referendum petitions fil-
ed by the republicans.
The coming state campaign will
probably be the most important to re-
publicans in Oklahoma, trtid therefore
to the business welfare of the state
in many years^and the state commit-
tee will be asked to express opinions
relative to the campaign, in regard to
party organization throughout tho en-
tire state and in regard to pjlitical
conditions also.
There are perhaps other matters the
committee will care to discuss and In
his call Chairman Harris will fully
• outline the matters to he taken up.
teeman Cade, the republican congress-"
men and others favor'such action by
Mr. Harris.
