Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. ~
Though defeated in his race for the
democratic gubernatorial nomination,
Al Jennings, reformed train robber.
still continues TO make his influence
felt in the political life of Oklahoma.
In a recent stateItent he announced
that he will contest the primary cleo
ton nomination. as he believes there
was ballot stealing: that he will do
his utmost TO send the alleged election
thieves to the penitentiary, and that
he will take the stump during the fall
campaign in an effort to arouse the
voters of Oklahoma to an understand
ing of the crookedness he alleges ex-
lists in public life in Oki-Soma.
Despite the odds against him, Jen-
nings received $4,000 votes. The
highest number reported for any can
didate was about $1,000. Jennings was
third in the race. He and his friends
openly charge that he was the victim
of heavy steals by election officials.
Most of the other defeated democratic
candidates. either publicly or privately
are making a similar charge.
At the beginning of his campaign
Jennings opponents asserted that he
was only seeking notoriety. But two
weeks later he was drawing more
people TO hear him speak than were
assembled by all the other candidates
Men and women who at
first looked askance upon the former
train robber became his most Jealous
converts. There was no getting away
from Jennings. once his voice was
raised in his appeal for good govern
ment and for a chance Tor the under
dog to redeem himself.
Ministers. lawyers. business men
and hoboes listened TO him and be-
Iieved in him In every audience

CITY WATER IS
DECLARED SAFE
Commissioner Eastman Issues
Public Statement Re-
garding Supply.

In a statement issued today by the
city health department, assertion is
made that the city water is absolutely
pure and safe for drinking purposes,
despite alleged reports to the con-
trary. Commissioner +. l.. Eastman
received a report from City Chemist
Fritae regarding the condition of wa
ter here, and said:
The city water is not contaminated
and is absolutely safe for drinking pur-
poses. Mr.. Fritze tests the water
twice every day of the year and his
reports show that there has not been
a time this summer that the water
has not been absolutely safe
'All of the water that is going
through the mains is filtered and
treated. There has been but one oc-
casion this summer when water was
turned into the mains without passing
through the filter beds. That was for
one hour on July l. The water. how
ever. although not filtered, was treat
ed, and pure and safe for drink"

an unmistakable, furtive glance and
an uneasy shifting of feet, who stood

yet wistful expression, trying to con-
vince themselves that they had run
against the real thing. and that II
was actually true that ii was worth
while for a man to try to rise out of
the pit and lift up his face. Jennings

each one of them.
July and August in Oklahoma
blazed like a furnace. The heat made
men reel in the streets. Despite all
this. men and women damned round
the wagon when Jennings spoke at
night. and he held these audiences
for long hours. None left him.
The fact that Jennings failed TO
get the nomination has not lessened
public interest in him. His brother
Frank was his campaign manager.

the old days. Both have beat back

to carry on his campaign, says his
goal is to stop criminal and exces-
sive use of money TO procure nomina-

to cause their removal as officials
by civil action.
