JACK WALTON IS ONLY ISSUE IN OKLAHOMA VOLE Ex-Governor and Preachers Provide Campaign interest. By LOWELL. MELLETT Times Staff Correspondent. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.. Oct. 21. —“Ninety five per cent of the Protestant preachers are low-down ornery skunks’" so Jack Walton. Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, is alleged to have <*aii one day in a speech. And that is what the campaign is all about this year in Oklahoma, Jack Walton says he didn’t say it, that he only said that was what a Ku-Klux newspaper had said he said. He does not deny the remark attributed to him that if a humming bird had only the brains of a KuKlux preacher it would fly backwards. Oklahomans appear to he all stirred up by the war between Walton and the preachers and to have little thought for the presidential campaign. Four thousand people jammed into a hall in Enid Sunday night to hear a Baptist minister de nounce Walton and a thousand more were turned away. Enid folks considered the crowd nothing remarkable. 2.000 Hear Wheeler What surprised them was that 2,000 people would turn out early the next morning to hear Senator Wheeler talk about national Issues. Like people in other parts of the State, they have heard little about the presidential race. Governor Bryan got as far as Enid and found that to support the candidate for Senator he would have to offend the church people, and so turned around and went back. Senator Robinson of Arkansas asked an audience in Oklahoma City to forget the city differences and support Walton and about half his audience got up and walked out. That's how it is in Oklahoma. Democratic politicians, down in the mouth, say it may mean that Coolidge will receive the electoral vote of the State. Democrats are being driven out of the party by the thousands, they say, and they remember that Harding had a majority in Oklahoma four years ago. Their prediction for publication, however, is that Divia will run first, with Coolidge second and La Follette third. The situation confronting the La Follette ticket has been difficult. The Progressive organization contains many of the lenders of the FarmerLabor movement which elected Jack Walton, Governor, only to have him run amuck in his antiKlan warfare and get himself impeached for misuse of State funds, misuse of the militia and other offenses. These farmer and labor leaders have thoroughly repudiated Walton since then, but they haven't won back the confidence of the State. There is an immense La Follette vote as a nucieous in the State. Democratic and Republican leaders estimate it at 100.000 out of tre States total of more than 500,000. Strong Among Fanners La Follette men claim they will carry western Oklahoma and are not disputed very vigorously Their strength is mostly among the farmers. In forty-five counties they have pretty complete precinct organizations. built out of the remnant of the Farmer-Labor organization. It is their belief that a rapid-fire campaign in the remaining two weeks can take the State away from Davis and Coolidge. But if they succeed in getting interest aroused in something or some body other than the wild ex-Gov-ernor. they will have done a real job. What chance has Coolidge or La Follette or Davis against a senatorial candidate who is chased around the State by a woman? The woman is Mrs. Frank Pitts, whose husband was murdered by a convict pardoned by Walton. She is now on Walton's trail, speaking wherever he speaks, and on one occasion is said to have driven Walton off the platform by walking upon it herself. > Former Constable Sentenced Otho Denton. Great Eastern Hotel, a former constable of Center township, today pleaded guilty in Criminal Court to operating a blind tiger and was fined SIOO and sentenced to sixty days on the Indiana State Farm by Criminal Judge James A. Collins. He was arrested April 14. Chief Deputy Prosecutor Byron K. Elliott consented to dismissing transportation charges Denton.

Lincoln Belittled, Judge Says

mUDGE James A. Collins of Criminal Court left a joint Republican and Democratic negro meeting at North and Blake Sts. Tuesday evening, although on the program, when he said, a negro speaker belittled the name of Lincoln. Collins was on the platform with Frank Baker, Democratic speaker; the Rev. Christian, "•Statehouse janitor. Republican speaker, and the Rev. D. A Wilson, colored Democratic speaker. Baker challenged claims of Republicans that they were the first to name colored attorneys as deputy prosecutors in Marion County, declaring the Democrats named three in 1010.

ZAHND ANSWERS BEVERIDGE TALK Denies Public Ownership Will Cost Public, John Zahnd, national chairman of the National Independent party, today challenged statements of former Senator Albert J. Beveridge, in his South Bend speech, in a letter to Beveridge. “You say public ownership of railroads would increase the public debt $30,000,000,f>00 and we would lose $300,000,000 in taxes. You know full well the public would not be required to pay for the highly inflated value placed on the railroads and you further know that when the public would get the pjyifit from the railroads it would reduce taxes and would save the people annually many millions of dollars. “Regarding your stand in supporting Ed Jackson for Governor, last April you told me that you could not believe Senator James Watson if he swore upon a stack of Bibles and that Jackson was no better. It will not be possible for you to make people believe that you were sincere then and that you are sincere now.”

burg, a student of history and government. says he has always been interested in the welfare of the people. At an age when most folk want to retire to a chimney corner, Denburg has a class of boys at a public library. He has been in this country four years and filed his first papers but recently. And this spry old man is waiting eagerly for his chance to cast his first vote.

Baker and dared he was not a member of he Klan, but intimated that a K insman was present who could t 11 all about the organization, r. ? erring to the fact that Judge Collins’ name and picture was published in Tolerance as a member of the Klan. The Rev. Wilson reminded the colored audience they were not voting on Lincoln this year, and declared Lincoln had been gone so long he was no longer an issue. Judge Collins remarked that as an American citizen he could not stay in a place where the name of Lincoln was and left the hall without making his speech.

When they sighted Heiny on his motorcycle for the last time he was less than a hundred feet back of the automobile, but making no effort to flag them down, they said. They testified they were not driving more than six miles an hour then. Counsel for Heiny attempted to show that a shotgun was protruding out the side of the Duncan's car, and that Heiny had reason to believe the automobile was occupied by bandits.

NiASSACHUSEFTS ARGUES ABOUT POLICE STRIKE Voters Ponder Long Discussed Question as Election Draws Near, By United Prrtt BOSTON, Oct. 21. —Hoary issues such as “who broke the Boston police strike” and “taxation without representation la tyranny,” ratlie I their dry bones among the electorate of New England as the voters • ponde their political associations this I year. The most interesting struggles will Ibe in Massachusetts and Rhode Is hand, since Maine. Vermont, OonI nectleut and New Hampshire show I no marked tendency toward leaving tho Republican column. Coolidge Supported It is in Massachusetts that the long discussed question of who settled tho police strike—Calvin Coolidge (then Governor) or Mayor Andrew- Peters —has become the burnling issue. Curiously enough, the {.Boston Post, a powerful newspaper and usually Independent Democrat In/its political persuasion, has elected this year to espouse the cause of a favorite son and is taking up the cudgels for Coolidge. In so doing it has entered the lists against Peters, who has maintained responsibility for Stopping the police strike here some years ago. As this storm rages around the presidential contest in Massachusetts, a junior senatorshlp hangs in the balance. But while the Boston Post helps Coolidge, its support Is not extended to Frederick H. Gillette, speaker of the List two Houses of Representatives, now running for tho Senate as the Administration choice. Instead of supporting Gillette, the Post Is urging the re-election of his Democratic opponent. Senator David I. Walsh, who defeated tho present Secretary of War, John W. Weeks, in 1918. Walsh for Smith Walsh himseif la plagued by divided allegiance and is reminded of it frequently. During the recent visit of Governor A1 Smith of New York, Senator Walsh publicly intimated his intention of supporting Smith for the presidency four years hence. Immediately the incident was seized by O-illette as an indication Senator Walsh has deserted the candidacy of John W. Davis. Thus far Senator Walsh has failed to remove the impression he is not whole-heartedly supporting Davis. SUGAR HEARING MAYBE Coolidge Considers Inqniry Before Action on ..Tariff. Bti United Preen WASHINGTON, Oct. 21—President Coolidge may hold hearings on the sugar tariff problem if information he has asked of Federal departments fails to clear up tthe question, it was said at the White House today. The President hopes, however, this additional delay may not prove necessary. L’inal decision on sugar tariff reduction recommended by tariff commission appeared no nearer today with the President still w-aiting for data requested. Heavy Liquor Fine Porter Riggins, 1015 Lafayette St., was fined S3OO and costs and sentenced to ninety days on the Indiana State farm, on a blind tiger charge, in city court today. Officers testified he was arrested by Patrolman Ruse Oct. 10 in a raid at 420 Rankin St., after Riggins ran out of the house with a five-gallon jug of alcohol. *

By .V 1' A Service CKIX, Oct. 21. —In the P narrow, crooked street . -I that borders Lung Fe Ssu, the curio bazaar, lived one Chuang Erh. dealer in dogs. Hi* friend and partner \ was Ilsu Th. stealer of dogs. Hsu would hunt the alleys for stray Pekinese pups which he would take to Chuang's stall to be sold. The two divided the proceeds.

WEAVERS FAIL TO SEE COMMISSI President Threatens to Send Sheriff "After Them. George A Weaver and his son Windsor ,T., contractors, who erected the new additions to Julietta, county asylum for the insane, is under indictment on charges of misconstruction, did not appear before county commissioners tins morning to talk over repairs. “If they don’t show up Wednesday morning we will send the sheriff after them.” said John Kitley, board president. “This is a court, and we are tired of fooling around.” The partners promised to repair the sagging ceilings and other defects according to recommendations of a board of arbitrators. Commissioners said they heard the firm was making the repairs independent of the arbitrators’ report and asked contractors in for an interview. County Auditor Harry Dunn and the Weavers are involved In a mandate suit in Circuit Court, whereby the firm seeks to compel him to pay the $12,900 balance due them for new additions at. the county poor farm, which Dunn refused to pay because of alleged misconstruction therer MEETINGS CLOG TRAFFIC t Safely Board Asked io Stop Saturday Street Services.

Charge was denied on Hogan's behalf.

What could he do? How could he make Chuang suffer? He would commit suicide! Ills blood would stain Chuang's doorstep. and his spirit forever would haunt Chuang's dwelling. Hsu obtained a pair of scissors, went to Chuang s home and drove the sharp point into his abdomen. Just then Chuang Erh appeared. He was much frightened. Who wants an evil spirit always in his footsteps? He promised amends. He picked up Hsu and ran to the ■white man’s hospital. At last Hsu would not die on the Chuang front step. But Hsu will live, 13 has changed hands, and the two are friends again.

POLICE MAY NOT TAKE PRISONERS BEFOREMEIH Possibility of Using Justice Courts Arises in Bond Wrangle, Possibility of sending prisoners arrested by police into courts of justices of the peace instead of city court was discussed at the board of safety meeting today, if the present disagreement between Police Chief Herman F. Rikhoff and Delbert O. Wilmeth, city judge, is not settled.
