BY MARK SULLIVAN. Three days of diligent “sizing up” of Gov. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray of OKla- homa has given Washington, on the whole, a serfous opinion of him. - As a| possibility for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination at this stage of the contest only a few take him seriously. As a man and Governor, however, everybody took him seriously and gave him” complete respect. In his initial appeirance before 10 or 20 newspaper men, he had all the uncouthness, partly deliberate, that has been emphasized in printed accounts of him. He stopped, is if in keeping , with the role he has taken for himself, at a modest, out-of-the-way hotel, that is both old and old-fashioned. Sitting in a big chair, he wore a crumpled. sweat-stained hat, clothes unacquainted with the presser, linen not too impec- cable. From time to time he swung one leg hlqh over the arm of his chair: Occasionally he cocked his heel on that part of the chair arm on which ordi- narily the elbow rests, his knee partly concealing his face. In his squirming, he managed to work the legs of his trousers high enough to show six inches of wrinkled white cotton stocking. On that occa- slon his pronunciation of “caint” and “wuz” and “Cawngress” and “Amurrica” was straight from the soil of Pottawat- omie County. He made gestures with a soggy cigar butt, gained time to parry questions by scratching his ear, and pulled his hat backward and forward from brow to nape. Acts Like Talkative Farmer. He made on this occasion the im- pression of & farmer who, perhaps, has done too much reading and not enough plowing, sitting at the center of an eve- ning group at an Oklahoma country store, acting as oracle on all subjects, from'the Federal Reserve system to the politics of Peru. If we had ended our observation of Murray with this one sitting, most of us would have shrunk a little from m- agining him in the White House. Two hours later, however, at a tea given him by the National Women's Demo- cratic Club, he was spic and span in both dress and diction, ‘with nothing whatever to distinguish him from a man who might perfectly well be Gov- ernor of New York or Virginia. A carefully folded handkerchief showed its white edge above his breast pocket | in almost the manner of a dandy. The audience that heard him at this women’s club was as cultivated as| would come together anywhere in Amer- ica, and it was clear they found noth- ing uncouth or otherwise to be disap- proved in Murray's clothes or manner or speech or thought. Almost as if con- sciously impressing the ladies, Murray’s speech on this occasion took on some- thing approaching real distinction of phrase and form. Little bursts of | feminine applause were frequent, and | he got just as much and the same sort of respect and appreciation as would be | given to Gov. Franklin Roosevelt or any other aspirant for the presidency. Dosen’t Quite Admit Aim. That Murray is after the Democratic presidential nomination, everybody un- derstands. Murray himself does not quite admit it. When a newspaper man asked him the question direct, he said he had “nothing to say about that.” When the newspaper man was insistent, Murray, with a touch of im- eriousness that accounts for some of is attractiveness, said, “A newspaper man should be a gentleman, and when | I tell you I have nothing to say, you | should stop.” With a flash of the eye that suggested courage and capacity for quick anger, he darted a lean finger at the questioner who had irritated him. Not only the fact of his aspiration but his technique of going after the nomination is suggested by his Wash- ington . visit. He excites curiosity, arouses interest. To satisfy this inter- est is about the only method of cam- pajgning available to him. He bhas not the means to oiganize contests in thc | primaries, Besides, that sort of cam- | paigning is not in keeping with him. He can only let the people see him and learn about him. Hence his jour- ney to Washington and to North Caro- lina where he goes from here and his previous trips to Iowa, Tennessee and Illinots. Must Be Dramatic. His real chance—and one guesses that he knows this—must wait until the con- vention is in session, and lies in his do- ing something forceful and dramatic, something similar, perhaps, to Bryan's “Cross of Gold” speech in 1896." His chance rests also on the assumption that the times will still be bad, for Murray’s place in politics is that of crusader for the oppressed and discon- tented. He will enter the situation by way of the platform. By controlling the Oklahoma delegation, Murray will get a place on the Resolutions Committee. That definite purpose he proclaims, and it s _as much as he admits now. On the Resolutions Committee he will in- troduce some startling platform. From his speeches at Washington one would guess his proposals will include a defiance of the inferior Federal Courts, whom he has twice challenged with his National Guard. He is careful to ex-| press 100 per cent respect for the Su- reme Court, but the inferior Federal Courts, he says, are arrogant and must be checked. Another proposal, one would guess from his Washington speeches and talk, will be in the field of currency, and will alm at increasing it by allowing State banks to issue it. It is fair to say that Murray, in his Wash- ington utterances, made the impression of having plenty of sound common sense. As for the Constitution, he not only respects it but reveres it as much as the Bible. He is distinctly anti-New York City, which he describes as “be- | low Harlem and next to Europe.” VETERAN AID COMMITTEE PROPOSED BY CUTTING Relief Sought for Widows and Orphans Same Given Men, Senator Announces. Service organizations such as the American Legion are demanding thesame | relief measures for their widows and orphans as the veterans themszlves re- de-lared yesterday. The New Mexico Republican de- manded that the Senate create & Vet- erans’ Committee to handle legislation | dealing with the former service men, | such as the House now has. He announced that unless the Rules Committee acts soon on & resolution to create such & committee he will en- deavor to bring the measure up on the Senate floor. Cutting said Legion officials had asked him to deny published reports they had assured the White House they would not press for action on the $200,000,000 bill for rellef of widows and orphans. | CAPITA | L GETS SESSION Next Convention Here.

URBANA, Ill, January 20.—They're having a holiday in Urbana because it looked like the banks might get-into financial trouble.

The holiday will be over Monday, and business men lauded the young mayor's move.

The District should have both na- tional representation and local - seif- government, Mr. Payne declared. Traffic Lights Asked. The assoclation requested that traffic lights be placed on Thirteenth street between Clifton street and Park road. Indorsement was given a resolution adopted by the Federation of Citizens' Associations urging the immediate con- struction of a stadium at the Roosevelt High School.
