WEST TELLS OF
COLUMBIA BANK
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS EN-
PloYMENT OF BAILEY AND
LED6ETTER WAS BY GOVERNOR

Guthrie. Okla. April Replying
to certain criticisms regarding dis
satisfaction over suits he has brought
for the state. Attorney General
West today issued letter briefly
noting the status OF the litigation.
As to the Columbia Bank and Trust
Company matter, the letter states:
The supreme court held in Coy
crnor llaekell's case that couid
not appear as attorney for the state,
in state proceedings outside of the
supreme court. except upon the re-
quest Of the governor or either
branch of the legislature. The legs.
lature nor neither branch thereof re.
quested me to conduct the investlga-
tion before it. | have heard that
resolution to that effect was pre-.
scented. If so IL was never adopted.
The proposal Of resolution unless
it was adopted does not become the
act of either branch.
AS to the rate suits, ! have not
quit them either. | have Just about
completed. after weeks of great la.
bor brief in that case. I hope to
argue it in ST Paul May . and de
serve to win II. have so far paid
Mr.. Judson $4,000 ON that account
This expense was neccsstated by
the speeches of Mr.. Taft. Instead of
attending to the upbuilding Of the
whole nation, he so far forgot his
high office and duty to this state
as To go over the country accusing
its people of being freaks. That some
lawyer of recognized ability and
standing should go into court with
ne, standing where | stand, was nee
eSsary to combat the prejudice the
president aroused against MS among
the federal judges. For this pur
pose ! did not employ the abilities
OF Senator Bailey. either directly or
indirectly, and have never employed
him"
The attorney general says that he
has never consented to employment
of W, \. Ledbctter Of Oklahoma City
since the latter became attorney for
the Waters-Pierce Oil company, and
that he is NOT attorney for the state,
or any of It's departments with his
consent.
Ledbetter was retained by GOV.
Haskell as attorney for the bank
ing department in connection with
the liquidation Of the Columbia Bank
ana Trust Company.
