Washington, June 19---Oklahomans
in congress are heartily in favor OF
the bad check bill which has been
introduced in the house in order tha,
passers of bum checks may be
properly punished Some of the Ok
lanomans have been "stung" during
the past few months by cheerfully
cashing casual checks for cashless
constituents and they are now willing
and ready to call halt upon further
raids upon their good nature. One
prominent Oklahoman, who is con-
testing for a high office, recently
gave a phoney check for 1925 to a
prominent member of the Oklahoma
delegation; while another well known
Oklaboman, who put on several
shows along PENNSYLVANIA avenue
and succeeded in getting pinched and
gun toting," left trail of fancy, but
checks all the way from
prominent uptown hotel to the Cap
itol and half way back again. This
Oklahoman was posing as million
aire," but he was doing It with the
money extracted from the hard work
