Oklahoma City. Dec. 3'i. Indications are that the invitation extend- ed by the Republican state central come back home" will be accepted by those in Oklahoma who voted for Roosevelt a year ago. Such action was made easy through the reorganization plan adopted by the state committee at its meeting here last Saturday, when it provided for the issuance of a call for precinct primaries, county conventions and a state convention for a general reorganization.

By the terms of the call, the Bull Moosers and even dissatisfied Democrats are invited to come into the precinct primaries, under the name of a rejuvenated Kepubikan party in Oklahoma in ousting the Democratic party from power. Bull Moosers of two counties. Garfield and Noble, have held joint meetings with the Republican omanizations in their counties and expressed their intention of coming back into the fold. From Okl.thonia county. Orville Johnson, who last year va-s ee re-tat of the state central committee of the Progressive party, was present at the Republican meeting and participated in it.

Former Progressives from other counties also took par; in the meeting an 1 two of them announced in speeches that they had come back home to help the party win a victory next fall over the Dem ocrats. Renublican leaders believe that the merger will be through partici- pation of former Roosevelt men in the precinct primaries, where they have been invited to exercise a free hand in helping to select men who soon to consider the advisability of calliug a state convention of Progressives. This announcement was made before the reorganization plan was adopted by the Republicans, however, and the question now uppermost in the mind of politicians is whether there will be any Progressive party in Oklahoma to hold a convention after the Republicans have carried out their program which, according to announcement, includ.es the adoption of a platform that will be so progressive that the Bull Moosers will be attracted by it.

There was a representative attendance at the meeting called last evening tor the important work of ehooseing off.cers for the First -Methodist Episcopal Sunday school and the work was dispatched by reelecting the entire corps of officials, who have had charge the past year.

In both enrollment and average attendance, the school is two fold what it was when H. S.

This has been accomplished by Mr. Raymond and his efficient corps of officers and teachers injecting common, business methods into the management and conduct oi the school. It is no small matter to successfully manage a school of 700 enrollment. To do so requires a vast amount of work and careful concern on the part of the leaders.

The pastor, Rev. C. XV. Odorn, reported the school the largest in its history with every department making satisfactory progress. The enrollment to day if 6ft8.
