The Oklahomans for the affirmative
advanced the arguments that the ap.

was necessary and expedient. They
defended its necessity on the ground
Of the bias, prejudice, corruption and
incompetency existing in the state
courts and because present remedies
are inadequate to cure those evils.

sas supported the negative on the
ground that the function Of the judge
was to protect the minority. that the
/ judicial recall would destroy this
function, doing away with the stabIl.
lty of the law and destroying the in.
