to Issue Call for Dank
- Statement
Okalhoma City, Okla., Sept. 7.
K. ll. Cockreil, state bank examiner,
has changed his mind regarding the
call for the quarterly statement from
state banks. About ten days ago Kx
a.miner Cockreil decided that he would
not call for a statement September 1,
because he could not bring his records
from Guthrie, to Oklahoma City, lie
later decided that it would be best to
mail the statements from Guthrie,
but have them made returnable to
Oklahoma City and about three days
ago put a large force of assistants to
work getting the necessary informa
tion for requesting tho statements..
When examiner Cockreil moved to
Oklahoma City, he was not enjoined
from -bringing his records here, but
when he sent after them he found that
an injunction had been issued restrain
lug him rom further Interfering with
the state 8 books.
By the time the statements are due,
the state capital question will likely
be settled.
It Is the custom of tho state bank

Mr. Tliupys campaign expense ac
count did not reach Secretary M. W.
Allen of the county election 'board in
time to allow that name to go on the
olllelal ballot which was prepared
August L'li.
According to the Inlerpietai Ion ol
the law by Secretary Allen and Chair
man R. S. smith, or Crescent, the law
la mandatory and they can not allow
a name to go on the ballot unless the
account, as specified by statute, is
properly fl'ed.
Late Tuesday afternoon Mr. Tlmpy
Hied with Secretary Allen what the
former declared to be his expense ac
count, but, beraltse the ballot had
been prepared, Allen could not use it.
In an Interview, marked more bv
deslderatiiins from Tlmpy than collab

Tlmpy declared be would Invoke le

Alhn only adding that he could do
nothing t ) prevent or aid the energies
Mr. Tlmpy had turned loose at tl;ls

Chairman Smith arrived from tiros

"case with Mr. Allen, The latter slat
ci the expense account bad not reach

county were prepared and therefore
the name of Tlmpy was not placed
on the afore 'i bailot. He stated the
account was filed last evening, but
because tlie matter had pass"d from
his bands, he had done no more than
to receive the expense account, com

Tlie law as to expense accounts of
