Large Number of Pardous
Large Number of Tardios
Society is asking Governor Walton would show that Governor Walton immediately after his inauguration began to grant tardios and could give great numbers.
That in several instances pardons were granted before the conviction. One indefinite leave of absence was granted before the man was arraigned to stand with him, with a blank left blank to be filled in after he had pleaded guilty.
That the governor had granted clemency principally for the purpose of retaining friends seeking to gain large fees from persons convicted.
That the paroles given to the governors' friends and agents to be held as a club over the heads of convicted persons and relatives.
That 274 pardons had been granted by Walton up to Oct. 17, but that this was "hardly half the tale," and that the acts of clementy were of a number almost impossible to estimate.
Oklahoma City, Nov. 15—Gov. J. C. Walton has never received any money corruptly while governor, in the knowledge of Dr. E. T. Byrum, his former executive counselor and new principal witness against him. Byrum testified before the senate court of impeachment today.
The court was engaged in niring the details of the notorious Tonkawa bribery case and the question was put to Bryum by Watson's counsel. "Did you ever hear of the government office receiving my money currently?"
Decided Point in Defense
There was a considerable pause
from its leaping forward in the
chains to catch the wrist eps.
The answer, answer, answer.
It was a decided point in favor of the defense, because the house board of managers which is prosecuting the case against Walton has made much of the previous testimony of Dr. Bynum, who was discharged by the governor from the position of banking commissioner,

Lawrence Choral Union Permanent Name Given to Community Chorus
membership Closed; Enrollment of Organization Exceeds Expectations
The name of the Community Chorus was changed to the Lawrence Choral Union by the executive com-
Regular rehearsal Tuesday evening.
The drive for membership has closed with an enrollment of 550. Only in special cases will people be allowed to enroll now. The size of the chorus has exceeded all expectations, according to Dean D. M. Swarthot.
The chorus compares well with choruses in other places. In the University of Illinois, where they have an enrollment of 10,000 students, they have a chorus of only 200 voices. The cities of Philadelphia and Denver boast of choruses of a membership of 300.
"A shrinkage in membership is inevitable," Dean Swarthout thinks. "There are some who will find the work too hard, and others who will find that the work will not fit in with them." People will drop out, there is indication that in the spring there will be more than 400 enrolled."
Much favorable comment has been given to Mrs. A. J. Anderson, accompanist. Mrs. Anderson's experience, together with her ability, make her a valuable asset in the opinion of Dean Swarthout.

"Any student who is alive to international affairs, whether he stays at home or intends to give himself to Christian service abroad, will be vitally interested in the work of the convention," said Mr. Shultz.
New Forces Considered
"A in the eighth convention there was a question about the students that the program did not meet the new demands of life made upon religion, that it did not squerely consider itself an international unrest in its challenge.
"So forcefully did the students speak their mind on this issue that they were granted representation on the program committee which has taken into account the new forces of missionary work and the moment of purpose which the committee has set forth for the convention clearly shows that the old heroic missionary appeal will be displaced by an appeal to world brotherhood and a more complete Christianizing international contacts," he concluded.
Committees Are Appointed
The committee on selection of the delegates consists of Margery Day, W. B. Sommerville, M. Miss Helen Walker, Park P. B. Lawson, Dean S. B. Braden, M. Miss Marie Russe, and W. B. Sommerville.

Allen Expects Record Attendance at Annual Kansas-Missouri Game
Sections of Bleachers Being Erected to Accommodate Overflow
Prospects for a record crowd on Thanksgiving day this year are shown by the fact that there are no more seats available for the game. Dr. F. C. Allen received the following wire Monday from C. L. Brewer, athletic director at Missouri, "Can you send one thousand more tickets to the others at possible?" Doctor Dhon had already sent 3,663 tickets.
The increased demand for seats made it necessary to remove the stands from the south end of the stadium in order to build a new sixteen row section in its place. Out of those sections, 720 seats, were sent to Missouri.
Standing room is now being sold in the south end and Mr. Brewer took 500 standing admissions and ordered 500 more. This makes a total of 5583 seats sent to Missouri. Doctor Allen estimated that it would be possible to sell 35,000 seats if they bought the house, but it topped this estimate 15,000 by adding that he thought it would be possible to place 50,000 seats.
Director Brewer was in Lawrence Wednesday for the purpose of making further arrangements for the game. Doctor Allen gave him as much as he could and the Missouri delegation and still keep enough for the Kansas rooters.
