County Chairman. I
t. ................ ..--.-4
Tulsa county Republicans will
hold a miss meeting at the court
house al 2 o'clock this afternoon and
appeal to II. J I, Rogers to become
the party's candidate for governor
of Oklahoma. Incidentally 39 dele
gates to represent the county at the
state convention at Oklahoma City
next Wednesday will be selected
during the afternoon.
The original Idea of holding a
convention Of precinct delegates lo
nominate the delegatea for tha state
convention was abandon-In .faw
of the mass meeting plan for the
reason that the demand for Rogers
, dem-nrf o. n .r.
is so strong that the general senti
ment of Republicanism of the coun
ty demands an opportunity to pub-
uciy request Rogers to head the
party ticket In the state election.
Kverrhody Wants Rogers.
This became apparent Thursday
night when the precinct meetings
were held all over the county.
Everywhere the speculation hinged
on the qu-.-stion of whether Mr.
Rogers would consent to make tho
race and there was practically no
sentiment for any other candidate.
iteptibltrans In Tulsa county as well
as In every other section of the state
feel that th announcement of T;ng
eis' candidacy would give Repub
licanism In Oklahoma Its brightest
chance for a victory In the state elec
tion and it la felt that he will not
refuse to accept the nomination
which It If. conceded will be offered
him if he la at all inclined to make
the race.
Friends of Mr. Rogers' report that
his physical condition is Improved
and that he would be able to do
himself Justice 'in the campaign. This
consideration Is all that causes any
doubt concerning hig acceptance of
the nomination.
A large attendant Is expected at
the afternoon meeting and A. A.
Small, county chairman of the Re
publican committee, savs that the
.nih.i.. in. n.anr. in nil nnria
of the eountv will brinar Republicans I
from every precinct in large num
bers. Kntlrc Ticket Considered.
While the endeavor to prevail tip-
on Mr. Rogers to lead the party to
victory In the state election will re
the principal effort of the meeting,
candidates for other offices will
come In for a share of the discus
sion and It Is expected thnt the on-
lire ticket will be considered fully. I

"The prime falluro of tho admin
