Oklahoma City, March, 11—The con-
vention was called to order shortly after
~2 o'clock by Stale Chairman Chas. E.
Hunter. At the time of the opening of
the convention the big auditorium was
•crowded, every available space being
taken by the delegates and the large
numbar of visitor.-;.
The Rev. W, H. 15. Urclr, psstor of
the First Methodist church, delivered
the invocation, which was followed by
an address of welcome by Mayor He nry
M. Scales, of Oklahoma City.
Former State Superintendent, of Pub-
lic Instruction J. E Dysche, was intro-
duced as temporary chtiirmnn. He ud-
dr
every detail and all of the leader;? pre-
dict that it has array, d the ba' tie, spirit
that, will win the st;ite in the coming
election.
Each time the name of William II.
Tuft was mentioned it was like striking
a match to a magazine of tire and the
convention would arise as one man and
cheer so long and loud thai, it seemed
there would I)1 no stop.
When the resolutions was read and the
clause relating to the endorsement of
Taft was reached win rei ; it si.Heir that
the endorsement? was uot in the behest
of individuals seeking preferment there
I was a pandemoniit" burst, of applause
which lasted several moments.
In the speeches and in the sentiment
of the entire convention the f.'ict was to
be noted that the republicans of the
new state would make a campaign with
a formible issue of taxation and reckl< ss
expenditures of the legislature,
i .1. E. Dyche, of Lawton, was named
j temporary chairman of the convention,
J defeating B. Kirkpatrik of Pryor Creek.
| H, G. House of Marietta and L. A.
i Donahue of Okemah were elected secrc-
] taries,
I The convention voted to name the
| usual committees and during tho time
the committees were out Congressman
Bird McGuire was called to the platform
He, made an able speech during wftich
he slated that it was rumored in Wash
ington thiil, the most important business
of the Oklahoma legislature was the
passage of a bill providing for nine foot
sheets.

commissi- ners i
ing. Saturday, O. C. Summers, com-
missioner. arranged a meeting with J.
E. Watson, tlie Kiowa count) eomtnis-
sioner, and in company with K. C.' Cox,
I Eugene Moseley and J. W. Ryder met
Mr. Watson and C. M. Davis at the
bridge and came to a definite under
standing. Mr. Watson is a broad-
guaged and liberal minded, business
man and freely expressed his willingness
to not only do the fair thing but to co-
operate. with Greer county in building
other.- necessary for public- convenience.
Tho agreement reached is as follows:
Kiowa county is to pay for half the 80
feet which it was decided to build and
Greer county is to guarantee the other
half. Kiowa's county surveyor will
make plans and specifications at once
and while it may be necessary for the
commissioners of both counties to meet
in joint session it is thought that tho
bridge an be completed and opened for
traffic before the "June rises". This is
positively the best arrangement that
could be made and too much praise can-1
not be given to our hustling commis-
sioner, Mi. Summers, and the liberal j
minded commissioner from Kiowa coun-1
ty, Mr. Watson.—Granite Enterprise. |
nicut inspector, sent, here for the ex-
press purpose of making a minute ex-
amination into the falsee conditions as
reported.
John P. Niehol.-oii. of Washington. D.
C., spent the greater part of hist week
in this county, making an; inspec-
tion, which he made public in writing
to the Republican representative today,
in which he says:
"No green bugs in this vicinity. A
few southern wheat lice, but they have
not the power of destruction that the
spring grain aphis tureen bug) has.
1 lant oats, positively no danger. I find
wheat in very fine condition and prom-
ises of an excellent yield."
A-ide from the report, Mr, Nicholson
gave our man some very interesting in-
formation in regard to the parasite and
green bug, Said he: "Last season, the
weather conditions were against, the
small grain raiser. This year the op-
posite is recorded The parasite needs
wiirtu weather to propoxate, and the re-
sult was that last year the parasites
were kept from hatching until the green
bugs multiplied, until nothing could
stop them. At present the parasites are
in the majority and are fast eliminating
the aphis.
We have spent thousands ni dollars
in our investigations and this is what
we find: One para.-ite will lay on an
average of 250 eggs and each one is laid
in the ear of a green bug, causing its
death.''
This is a strange tale to tell on ail un-
suspecting public, but nevertheless its
Veracity is vouched for by government
experts.
