ELECTION MOVES |j .(Ctmtlißod from Page One) II amend the constitution so that the K. j l£. K. legislature can impeach me | thereby removing all restriant on law-1 11 leanness of tho klan, 1 don't want to ] be governor," Walton said. The governor said he would not use,’ the military forces to prevent the elec- j tlon. Ho said ho mobilised his 28.000 j | state police, 75.000 volunteer "minute! men" and tho National Guard of the'! • date to supress rioting and lawlessness which might arise in connection with the balloting. Martial law restrictions in force in many sections of tho State as a result of the governor's fight on the K. K. K. j were slightly relaxed for the election, j The governor said military rule would ! be clumped down again after the vot-' ing. As the voters filed into polling places, they passed through lilies of deputies, sworn In by sheriffs during the night to see that there would be no interference with balloting by the governor's forces. Governor's Police In Background Tile governor's 22,000 special police v ere pushed into the background and scattered throughout tho state, they I made a puny force compared with the I great army cf special deputies ready jto see that the election went on. Two days ago Walton had announced these j deputies would keep the polls padj locked and arrest defiant election officials. From the executive mansion it was j announced that the governor would I ignore the result of today’s balloting. “The pretended election is illegal and I will refuse to accept its results,” the governor said. “I am willing to allow the issue to go before the people in a fair and legal election where an opportunity is | had. as required by law, to present the I issues to the voters." No national guardsmen were in evidence ts the voting progressed. The j troops had been first called out Sept. jl3 when the governor proclaimed I state wide martial law to "drive the Ktt Klux Klan out of Oklahoma. i Most Polls Open Reports received here that in all but five out of the seventy-five conn- j ties tile polls opened on scheduled! time. W. C. McAllister, secretary of the state election board, sent notice to the election officials in these counties that they would be arrested anil prose j euted on charges of unlawfully inter- 1 feriug with an election. "You or any other man who interfers with this election will be sent to the penitentiary,” McAllister wired ' | Sheriff Conn .in Bryan county, where the polls were padlocked. "Neither, the governor nor any other man can ‘ stop an election." As the voting progressed additional deputies were being sworn in. Short-, ly before 8 a m. Sh'-rilf Tom Cavnar announced five thousand men were patrolling the voting places in Okie-, Itonia City, center of the governor’s! military rule. Deputies Heavily Armed All of the deputies were heavily armed, despite Governor Walton's orders, Issued at military headquarters, that they disarm under threat of arrest by guardemcn. Mayor Cargill, who joined forces with the sheriff, commissioned 1,500 additional vigilantes. “I have com missioned practically every business man in Oklahoma City" | tlm mayor announced. "They will preserve order, maintain the peace and uphold the law.” In other counties from five hundred to 2,000 deputies were on duty. In Tulsa county wlicrfc martial law lias been in force since August 14, the polls wore guarded by 1,500 men deputized by Sheriff Bob Sanford. More than 1,000 deputies were on duly at Muskogee and at Lawton 1,000 citizens at a mass meeting pledged themselves to "uphold the law and protect balloting." o ■ To Foreclose Auto Lira Two suits to foreclose automobile liens were filed in the circuit court this afternoop. by Schmitz & Triekcr against True Miller. Or-- suit demanded judgement in the sum of 5500 and the other demanded judgment in Iho sum of slllO. Both sails were tiled through Attorney A. C. Butcher.
