WHAT A PITY.

After sizing up alfalfa
Bill" Murray yesterday one
could not help but think what
a pity it was that he was not
governor of Oklahoma when
the war broke out instead Of
just being a candidate for the
nomination for the office now.
The Examiner has no inten-
ton of committing itself on the
gubernatorial contest at this
time, but the Sage Of Tisho-
mingo" should be and will be
no mean factor in the contest.
William H. Murray has Vi
sion and the courage of his
convictions. If any democratic
politician in the state has a
right to be heard on war issues
Murray-after the loss of his
congressional seat for his anti
Bryan and preparedness opin-
ionS-haS.
Governor Williams thought
ne was leader of the people
and thinks he is and was a pa
triotic governor. The differ
ence between Williams and
Murray is that Murray actu-
ally has many Of the qualifica-
tions to make him be what
Williams merely thought he
was being.
Politicians are talking Rob
ertson, Durant and Alexander
and paying little attention to
Murray, but if Murray gets to
the people he may make the
political dopesters look sea-
sick when the votes are
counted.
Murray's speech yesterday
was a tonic - he told bitter
truth in a manner unusual for
a candidate. He is an interest
ing character - typical new
state product and a man whom
one can enjoy disagreeing
with. - Bartlesville Morning
Examiner.

Heavy Guard Around
California State Capitol

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 31.-A second
death threat against the life of Gov
ernor William D. Stephens which was
to have been carried out January 80,
was the reason for the heavy local and
state police guard around the capitol
building yesterday and last night, it
became known today.
The author of the anonymous death
letter, who is said to be in the custody
of the federal authorities, named Jan
uary 80 as the date Governor Stephens
was to die. it was learned. For this
reason the local police took the pre-
caution of placing the armed guard
around the capitol.
