withdrawn and Oklahoma City was
chosen by acclamation It was prom-
ised that lie committee can make use
of as many rooms needed In the Lee
liotel and at the cost of local Demo-

Interacted apeotntor during the after-
noon 6esslort of the committee secur-
i'd permission from the chair to ad-
dress tho body and offored the sug-
t5t!on that a general party conven-
tion be hold and recited certain declar-
ations of principles which he sug-
gested might advantageously be pre-
eeuted in the torm of a 'party platform.
This suggestion precipitated warm dis-
cussion by some members of the com-
mittee boing deemed highly essential
by others regarded as ill advised and
'unprecedented. The fact that such
action was not one of tho preroga
Uvea of the committee obviated any
definite determination. Some eloquent
and forcible arguments were made
pro and con evidencing tho intenso
earnestness and exalted patriotism of
tho Democracy of the new state and
making it thoroughly mwiiiUest that
the battle vf or political supremacy la
the new Wte will be ope pf intense
ardor and high principles co far as

Thore Is walling and gnashing of

soreness can be out with a knife. The
arbitrary mnnnor in which tho ma-
ohlno clan pushod through the "oarly

tuur.uU. The burden of complaint is
that Delegato McGuiro euros nothing
how other districts fare Just so his
district gets busy and nominates hlui
for congress. The committeemen
lioin the south and west portions of
the state are particularly hostile. The
Second district fellows claim thai the

Ing the delegates by the primary sys-
tem was discussed but It was flw

ed bent In making the nomination.

tho congresfllotml convention. He
also'sald that he would like to tee tho
Sccobd district Republicans nominate

One of the committeemen In the
First duti let ssld that he was com-
pelled to be 'for an early convention
not because he waiiJjSfl to be but b
cause the machine fellows had lined
it up Uwi way. He seemed to hare
not enosgh btakb0n& to stand out for
what he actually wimted.
It was also learned that the otit-
MvliiK counties in till district will

High Railroad Official to
Furnish Needed Evidence
(By Associated Press.)
Cleveland Ohio July 17. Basing
his opinion upon the testimony at-
refi'v submitted to the federal Judge
lh thib district Attorney General
Moody believes the government has
at last somred eviuonco that will lead
to bringing the Stnndai-d Oil company
to its knf- s.
The return of District Attorney Sul-
livnn from an nllilny conference with
the attorney general nt. Now York
will iroark a complete chnugo In the
pinna of the government In connec-
tion witli the fight to stamp out dU-
icrlmlnatlons In faor of giant corpor-
ations. Tho change of plans Includes a com-
plete reversal regarding G. J Cram-
mer vice prosldont of tho Lake Shore
railway. Gmminor will not bo Indict-
ed lu this or any other federal dis-
trict. Instead he will be asked to
assist the government In forging a
chain of evidence about tho nocks or
somo of tho blggeet Standard Oil of-
ficials In tho cpnntry.
Aetlng upon tho ordors o"f District
Attorney Sullivan Assistant Attorney
Darry issued; another subpoena for
the npponnuice of Gmminor before
tho grand jury. Grammar who Imp-
ponod to be In tho ally was Immedi-
ately served with the subpoena by
Depirty Marshal Fanning. He seemed
pleased with the turn of events which
makes It certain thnt he Is not to be
made the scapegoat for violations of
the law on the part of others.
The switch on the part of the gov-
ernment deciding to summon Q ram-
mer aw a witness is explained by the
statement that the desire of the de-
partment of Juatke at present is to
get the Standard Oil company. A
telegram from District Attorney Sulli-
van said nothing was to be left un-
done la accomplish this purpose.
In addition to ordering the Issuance

wired to bare all the employes of tbt
LuKe Pbure railway who hae testi-
fied bef.n.' the grand Jury recalled.
Tlut witnesses include Jnmoe Laclerk
general western freight agent and C.
A. Slausson freight agent of Qhtaugo
and other employes In tho Clsvolnnd
officer.
It is known Hint the gavorwnont of-
ficials are anger to obtain. Oho mora

What the government officials want

Oil officials through whom it is al-
leged rebating arrangements were
