William H. Murray wants as his successor a man who contrasts with the fiery, picturesque ecutive in many ways. The “heir apparent” is Tom An- glin, speaker of the Oklahoma house, whose scrupulously trim ap- |pearance is quite different from : that usually affected by “Alfalfa : Bill.” Murray’s clothes usually need pressing; he lives to take off his shoes while at his desk or in a board council; his vest often is a |depository for cigar ashes; his graying hair frequently is dis- heveled. ex- Different Habits The slightly bald Anglin always dresses in style, though never flashily. Murray frequently sleeps. until 9 a, m., sometimes. until noon, Anglin always is up by 6 a. m. and in his Holdenville law. office by 7. “Alfalfa Bill” often is gruff. Anglin, always courteous, Murray smokes almost con- stantly. Anglin, although he often chews a cigar, never lights it. The present governor, a native Texan, always has been a demo. erat. Anglin, who hails from Vir- ginia, until 1918 was a republican. Both men are in their sixties. Will Take Stump Murray, prohibited by the state constitution from succeeding him- self when his four-year term ex- pires next year, says he will cam- Paign to the limit for Anglin. E. W. Marland, former oil mil- lionaire and now representative in congress from the eighth district, is expected to be one of Anglin’s principal opponents for the demo- cratic nomination. Hugh Jones, a Murray ap- pointee, who declined to run for attorney general at the governor's request, also has announced as a} candidate. HIGHER COURT =| OK’S LOAN LAW WOULD REGULATE “LOAN SHARKS” IN OPERATIONS IN FLORIDA (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec, 18.—The supreme court today sustained the validity of the Florida law re- quiring those engaged in the busi- ness of making small loans first to obtain a license, The court affirmed the decision in the case brought by J.
