‘ALFALFA BILL' ) BEGINS TERM I AS GOVERNOR Oklahoma's Most Colorful \ Figure Given Oath by Father. 4 BY FRANK O. HALL Vnit*d Pres* Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 12.—William H. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray, who wrote the state Constitution twenty - three years ago, today became Oklahoma's ninth Governor since statehood. Murray received his oath of office from his aged father, Uriah Dow Thomas Murray, 91, given a special notary’s commission for the occasion. When Murray became the state’s chief executive today, it climaxed a turbulent political career that began before statehood. After serving as chairman of the constitutional convention and speaker of the first house of representatives, Murray was sent to congress only to be repudiated and defeated because he predicted the World war. Twice he was defeated for Governor. In his third campaign last year he received the greatest majority ever accorded a gubernatorial candidate in Oklahoma. As Murray delivered his inaugural address today in the same booming voice that resounded through the halls where the constitutional convention was held, he was surrounded by friends who have known him through the years he spent as tenant farmer, newspaper publisher, small town lawyer, politician and unsuccessful South American social colonization. Members of the old Squirrel Rifle brigade, a humorous military organzation formed to protect the first draft of the state Constitution, were seated near him. All were commissioned officers in that brigade. There were no privates and only close friends of Murray were admitted. No pomp marked Murray’s inaugural ceremonies. Tonight Murray and General Richard A. Sneed, ‘‘grand old man of Oklahoma Democracy” and inaugurated today as secretary of state, will step the first set of an old-time square dance. Sneed is 85. The latest dances will also be held for the benefit of those who wish to dance to jazz orchestras. But Murray gave notice there would be no inaugural ball unless some ‘‘breakdown fiddlers” were obtained and an old-fashioned square dance staged. When Murray was inaugurated he took the governmental reins that have slipped from the grasp of the last two elected Governors, J. C. ‘■Jack” Walton, elected in 1922, and Henry S. Johnston, re-elected in 1926, were both impeached by hostile legislatures. INDIANA LABOR ONLY Out-of-State Workers Banned in Veteran Hospital Project. Out-of-state labor will not be imported for construction work on the new veterans’ hospital in Indianapolis, if Senator James E. Watson and Representative Louis Ludlow have anything to say about it, according to word from Washington. In response to a direct appeal from both, specifications for the new hospital will not carry authorization for the erection of bunkhouses to quarter such labor. Bids for construction of the hospital are to be opened Jan. 20.

DAVIS ‘AMAZEDAT NYE MOVE TO UNSEAT HIM Pennsylvania Senator Says His Life Is Like ‘an * Open Book.’ By Untied Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Describing his life as “an open book, containing no blots of dishonor or chicanery,” Senator James J. Davis tßep., Pa.), struck back today at the effort of Chairman Nye of the senate campaign investigating committee to unseat him. In a statement, Davis said he was amazed that Nye should sponsor a move to oust him on charges that his ticket spent $1,200,000 in the 1930 primary election. Ascribing his election solely to “popularity built on integrity and humanitarian achievement,” the former labor secretary said a good part of the Pennsylvania campaign fund was donated specifically to the cause of Francis Shunk Brown, defeated in the primary race for governor. “What purpose is impelling Senator Nye in his insistent demand that my seat in the senate be declared vacant? Surely, no evidence has been uncovered at the hearings held by his committee in its probe of the primary and election contests in Pennsylvania to even hint of scandal or the exorbitant expenditure of funds in my behalf. “On the contrary, the hearings proved facts commonly acknowledged in and out of Pennsylvania, namely that the personal property of ‘Jim’ Davis, built largely on his integrity and humanitarian achievements, assured his nomination and consequent election to the senate without the need of a large campaign fund.” Police Hold Robbery Suspect Charged as a fugitive, Ray Caldwell, 34, of 1657 College avenue, was held here today for Ft. Wayne authorities who say they will question him in connection with a recent oil company holdup there.

STOPS COLD PLEASANT WAY As Cold Weather Approaches Many Here End Head Colds, Coughs and Chest Colds by Quick, Tempting Ms i.od Which Doctors Have Certified For Home Use Realizing the danger as well as the needless misery caused by neglecting colds, doctors are now advising a quick, pleasant remedy. And vast numbers of Indianapolis people have found how quickly colds can be ended—often in just a few hours—by this remedy which hospital physicians have certified as the best of different widely used methods tested for head colds, coughs and chest colds.

MANY FIND HOW COLDS IN FAMILY MAY BE AVOIDED Neglecting a cold is sure to cause needless misery and may risk pneumonia. At the first sign of a cough or sneeze, therefore, numbers of Indianapolis people are now using a tempting corrective to end the cold pleasantly before it has a chance to take hold. William P. Drayton, for example, used to have one cold after another in spite of his efforts to avoid drafts and exposure. On the advice of his doctor, then, he started taking a pleasant spoonful of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral every 15 minutes for an hour or so from the minute he began to feel a cold coming on. This helpful medication, doctor’s find, helps prevent the cold from spreading. It not only helps to prevent fevel- and congestion, but also restores irritated, linings of the air passages to a stronger, healthier condition. In this way it builds up strong resistance so that the cold is ended before the miserable feeling begins. And Mr. Drayton, like many here, has found that by using Ayer’s Pectoral at the first sign of a cold one may go thru the winter without the needless misery and bother of head colds, coughs or chest colds.
CHILD’S COUGH ENDED BY DOCTOR’S ADVICE Mrs. C. M. Laughlin, like numbers of Indianapolis mothers, realizes that there is no longer any need to be alarmed when a child wakes up coughing in the middle
of the night. For children’s coughs are now being ended quickly almost instantly in cases of spasmodic attacks—by a remedy that is pleasant to take. Mrs. Laughlin’s lit-
tie daughter, Rose, awoke with a severe coughing spell and high fever. She called her doctor who advised double strength doses of Ayer’s Pectoral to soothe the irirtation and break up the cold. Almost immeditely the cough began to subside and in a few minutes she was sleeping quietly again. By next morning congestion had cleared up surprisingly and in a day or so all trace of the cough and cold was gone.

Goes Straight to Seat of a Threatening Cold The experience of Miss Elizabeth Cuyler is typical of many here. She caught cold sleeping without enough covers. Instead of treating the cold promptly, she had neglected it. Two days later she felt “achy” all over and her fever was high. Then she called her family doctor who advised double strength dose of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral—a hospital certified medication of wild cherry', terpin hydrate and other ingredients now used in leading clinics to help reduce fever, clear up congestion and drive out the cold. Relief began Immediately, when she felt its soothing, healing warmth—from her nose passages deep down into her chest. Within an hour or so the medication had been absorbed by her system, loosening up congestion and relieving the “achy” feeling. By night her fever was less; she slept comfortably without coughing and woke up feeling like a different person. In another day or so, the doctor reports, congestion was gone completely and there was no trace left of the cold. Note: See other case* being reported daily in this paper—all certified by the attending physician.
