His activity in all public affairs has

Now that the legislature has ad-
journed the hotel gossip has turned
10 the gubernatorial topic, and states.
men and near-statesmen are discuss
ing who will be the democratic can
didate for governor next year.
In connection with this talk no
name is heard with more persistency
than that of Bob Williams. Judge
Williams has held a center place in
the public eye Since long before state
hood. He fought valiantly for state
hood long before that dream was re-
allied. He was a member Of the
Constitutional Convention and left his
impress on every important section
in that document. When the state
was admitted to the Union he became
its first chief justice.
Beginning with statehood every
time we have a big election. to choose
either governor or a United States
Senator, or both, somehow the name
of Bob Williams bobs up. What
about Bob Williams?" has grown to
be familiar question when conver-
sation veers 10 some big question of
public honor or trust or when the
state is about to adopt a policy either
civil or political Meanwhile Judge
Williams has gone serenely on, ap-
parently engrossed with his work on
the supreme bench, modestly but firm
ly dealing out justice and laying down
a course Of procedure which will be
followed by the generations to come.
Thus far his work on the bench has
been of more lasting effect upon the
people and the laws than II could
have been had he held any other posi-
tion.
The Judge has certainly made good
In spite of his early patches and pow
erty, and has achieved most lofty
position in his chosen state. He
has always been very hard worker;
q man of dynamic energy and posi-
tive opinions, He has the courage
to stand for what he regards right;
he stands out ruggedly for the honest
straightforward statesmanlike things
in politics.
Away back a decade ago. Judge r
w lllldlllH Was fdCAlNC idNNOi IA
Indian Territory politics. He was the
democratic national committeeman
when a place on the national commit
tee was practically the only represen'
tation the eastern part Of the state
had in the civil government OF the
country. When the Constitutional
Convention was called he was elected
as a delegate. He became one OF the
foremost leaders Of that great body
of men, and his handiwork may be
seen by the student in every vital de
partment of the organic law OF the
state. AS a member of the Consti
tutlonal Convention he was placed on
the committees Oh judiciary, revenue
and taxation, Legislative department
primary elections, legal advisory and
public service corporation, and of the
last two he was chairman. He was the
author of practically all the construc
tive provisions inaugurated In Article

fellow-seryant provision and the one
to the effect that every license issued
or charter granted TO mining or pub
lie service corporation, foreign or do
nestle, should contain a provision re-
quiring the submission of all labor
disputes with employees to arbitra-
tion-the first time such a provision
ever appeared in a statute or con
stitution. Judge Williams has been
referred to as the John Marshall of
Oklahoma. II sounds well, and 1t real.
ly suits the case. Chief Justice Mar
shall OF the Supreme Court of the
United States. by his learned and
courageous construction Of the most
progressive constitution up to that
time in existence, hammered the loose
and discordant elements into a mighty
and indissoluble composite. drove the
rivets into the framework OF the
worlds youngest and greatest ma.

In writing the opinions Of the court
on constitutional questions and others
demanding a thorough grasp OF the
fundamental principles OF government,
the lions share OF the work has fallen
to Justice Williams. and properly so,
for he bore a conspicuous part in
framing that constitution and he is
most jealous in vitalizing the prin-
ciples thereof.

the man. will not be amiss. He is
very generally referred to as Bob"
That in itself is proof that he is a
real, red-booded, companionable hu.
man being. OF the bench he is
man OF affairs, business man of
recognized ability. and he takes a
leading part in the development Of
the country in business sense.
The judge has an absorbing interest
in farm life. He was born and raised
on farm. and has always maintained
bis interest in the farming industry.
He has a farm now, and one Of his
hobbies lis the building of dams and
lakes and stocking the waters with
fish, He insists that this not only
beauties the landscape, but. that IL
the plan were generally followed It
would very materially increase the
rainfall.
Judge Williams great-grandfather
was Jonathan Williams, born in Con.
necticut, in 1894, whittier his father,
some years before emigrated from
Wales. Jonathan Williams enlisted in
lieardsleys regiment in the Revolu-
tionary Army. After the Revolution

there until 1921, when he went to

at any rate he plunged in and fought
his way to leadership In intellectual
activities in the college. Later he
read law with Judge William S. Thor

WILSON'S PRIMARY PLAN

II seems that President Wilson's
idea OF a primary nomination for
President is for the voters to select
a candidate and then have a conven-
ton OF Senators new and old and
congressman and officials to hold
a convention. confirm the nomination
and draft the platform lie urges
that the men who are to make tho
laws are more capable of outlining
the needs of the country.
The question arises where do the
common people come in? Are tho
people incapable of self government?
Shall all matters OF Initiation be left
to politicians? Alexander Hamilton
thought so, but Jefferson and other
Democrats down the line believed
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent 81 the gov
erned and they believe that the COM
mon people are the governed class.
Surely President Wilson has not
tried to get back TO the ideas of CEN
tralism
