ALFALFA BILL ‘CONSERVATIVE' IN 1932 RACE Oklahoma’s Gandhi Making Hard Fight for Party’s Highest Nomination. Times of hardship brine forth their nwn ipokffnifn who voice the protest of laree croup aeainst the dominant economic and financial forces which thee blame for their difTiculailes. Oklahoma has found such a voice in its Governor. William H. Murray. Ills followers see iu him the Brvan of this period. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent fConvrieht. 1931. bv United Press! OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 24 Governor William H. Murray—Alfalfa Bill as he likes to be known—is riding a revolt in the plains states to challenge the political forces of the industrial and financial east. Yet, in some beliefs, he is about as radical as Calvin Coolidge. A movement to make Murray the Democratic presidential nominee is gathering strength. Thousands of the Governor’s followers among the poverty-stricken farmers have faith he will perform the miracle. It is this faith, like that which gave William J. Bryan his power, that makes Murray a potential national force. He wouldn’t, he says, be VicePresident, if he were elected. He is out for Bigger game. This unkempt, gaunt, almost unbelievable figure, a champion of the underdog, as disheveled in appearance as one of Coxey’s army, suddenly was returned to leadership by hard times. He was elected Governor by one of the largest majorities ever received in Oklahoma. He is Oklahoma’s Gandhi. He intends to lead an agrarian fight over the Democratic platform. He has frightened business men in this section because he has some daring, ruthless streaks. Platform Not Radical Yet when Murray climbs down from his soapbox long enough to discuss national policies, he does turn out in some respects to be just about as radical as Coolidge. He proposes transfer of control of the federal reserve system from bankers to business, manufacturers, agricultural producers, and other actual users of money. He would develop a more liberal banking organization for handling agricultural credits. He would give greater government assistance to promoting twoway foreign trade particularly with iLatin-America, base the tariff on the difference in cost of production at home and abroad with safeguarding duties on all raw material such as oil and cotton. He would encourage an American merchant fleet, give it adequate protection, build the Nicaraguan canal as quickly as possible to cut five days from the route to the Orient. He would be prepared to go to bimetalism should England do so to protect American commerce. He would extend more aid t' railroads to avert government ; vnership, for he is opposed to g<. eminent ownership except where 'ere is no alternative. Opposes Speculation He would increase taxes on higher incomes, reorganize federal boards and commissions to reduce duplication, exterd the practice of forming state compacts with participation of the federal government as was done in the Boulder dam project. He would restrict exchanges to the actual functions of a market place, eliminating speculative transactions. That, In brief, is his program. Bryan probably would have brushed it aside as too conservative. “I don’t believe in government ownership though I wouldn’t hesitate to resort to it when needed,’' Murray told the United Press. “We should try to aid people by indirect methods unless we are going into state socialism which calls for direct methods. If we are going to let people run their own affairs then the government has got to let them do it with what aid it can give.” Down here in Oklahoma’s small towns, Murray climbs up on a box or a Ford truck, his overcoat fastened with a safety pin, unshaven, wearing a shirt that undoubtedly had been worn the day before. He is a duplicate, except for what is inside of his head, of dozens of men standing in every audience he addresses.

Fatal Boast Hy United Press CHICAGO ,* Nov. 24.—Robert Stein, 7, nephew of King Levinsky, boxer and Morton Tludo, 10, were playing follow the leader. They had climbed up and down stairways, jumped over chairs and nearly exhausted possibilities of the game at the Chicago Boys’ Club, where they were playing. Finally, Morton said: “I can Jump farther than you can.” “You can’t either,” Robert boasted. “I’m not afraid to jump right out here.” They were standing beside a thirdfloor window. Morton left the room for a minute. When he returned he found his playmate had made good boast. Robert’s body was lying on the sidewalk' below. He died at the city hospital a few minutes later.

CURTIS TO JIT TIGHT He’ll Not Run for Senate, Says Capital Paper. By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—The Washington Post published a story today, saying that Vice-President Charles Curtis “will announce within the next few days that he is not a candidate for the United States senate from Kansas.” “This means that if the Republican national convention should tender the nomination for the vicepresidency to Mr. Curtis, he will accept it,” the story said. “The Vice-President favors the renomination of Herbert Hoover for President. He is convinced that Mr. Hoover will be re-elected by an extraordinary majority. Curtis refused today to comment on the reports. He said he would make a statement within the next week or ten days, after his return from speaking before the Chicago real estate board. DRYS DESTROY LIQUOR Federal Agents End Cases Disposed of in Baltzell’s Court. Many cans and bottles of liquor, the latter decorated with wellknown but faked labels and stamps, went sewerward Monday from offices of federal special agents in the federal building as the dry sleuths wrote finis to cases recently disposed of in federal court. In vaults of the prohibition agents, another enforcement arm of the government’s prohibition department, arS several hundred gallons of other liquor awaiting the same fate as that stored until today in the special agents’ vault. Besides dumping the liquor the agents today also wielded axes and hammers against equipment used in liquor manufacture and confiscated them on raids.
