ENFORCEMENT Of
LAW HIS PLATFORM
Lawton Man Announces His Candid
acy For the Democratic Nomlna-
ticn For Attorney General.

Lawto1, Okla, Feb. 21.-"A rational
enforcement of the laws of Oklahoiua'
is the platform upon which George
d. Key Of this city today, issued for.
NAL announcement for the democratic
nomination for attorney general OF
Oklahoma to succeed Charles ]. West
who, it is understood. will enter the
race for governor
Mr.. Key is Tepnesseean by birth
and has been in Oklahoma since the
opening of the Kiowa-Comanche
country when he located at Lawton
and begun the practice of law here.
A graduate of the Southwestern Bap-
tist college at Jackson, Tenn, where
he secured his law degree-one Of
the oldest law schools in the whole
country-he has been in the active
practice of law for twelve years and
is now recognized as one of the lead
ers of his profession in this part of
the state. Since the founding OF the
Elks lodge in Oklahoma, Key has
been prominent in it's councils and, as
district deputy grand exalted ruler
under Hon. Rush Holland of Colorado
Springs. Colo, has probably done
more to build up Elkdom in the new
state than any other one man. He
is also past chancellor commander of
the order Knights of Pythias in Okla
homa and prominent in Odd Fellow
circles.
A democrat of the old-fashioned
Tennessee brand, Key bears the dis
tinction of having been the first presi-
dent of the first democratic organiza-
tion to be formed in the new Kiowa-
Comanehe country Young Mems
Democratic Club of Comanche coun-
ty. Back in Tennessee, he was
close friend of Senator Bob" Taylor,
and it is probable that Senator Tay-
lor will spend several weeks of the
early summer In Oklahoma campaign
ing for him.
