"0UR BOB" MEN RALLY
TO BILL ALEXANDER? ?
Joe kcnton, Former Election Board
Member, and Williams Manager,
lu Honest BIZ" Wagon,

There iSmuch speculation in pulit-
ical circles over the fact that Joe
kenton has been selected to manage
Bill Alexandcr's campaign for gov
ernJr in Tulsa county.
Kenton managed the campaign for
Governor Williams In this county
and has always been staunch sup
poster and friend OF the governor,
havirg been appoDted by him as
secretary Of the laSlsff Necticn board,
a position which he Lrecently re-
signed, kenton is a candidate for
state representative on the Demo
cratic ticket with no opposition.
ON account OF Alexander's well
known antipathy to the oil men and
their interests 1t was not thought
likely he would gain much active
support from prominent Democrats
here but the publication of his al
legged campaign committee for the
county 1ivulges the fact that nearly
all OF the Democratic workers who
amount 10 anything have lined up
for Honest BIZ who speaks our
language.
Kenton and Williams are not di-
Vorced! Therefore II is reasonable
to presume that Kenton has Joined
the Alexander forces with the con-
sent of the governor, who has been
considered as an ardent,
although inactive, supporter of j. H.
A. Robertson.
IL Williams is double-crossing
Robertson The situation becomes
indeed
Robertson is openly friendly to the
oil men, while williams, like Alex
ander, Is Just the opposite. and It
would be natural for the governor to
support one whose views are similar
10 his on this great question.

The matter. 1t was then taken up
wtlh Deputy L. S. Marshal John
Moran, who called up the local deal
er from whom Smith buys. 1t is
stated that Moran told them that IL
the discrimination on Smiths part
should persist, the local dealer,
Smith, and his drivers, would all be
arrested. The local dealer was also
instructed to tell Smith to come to
Moran's office.
on last Sunday Smith sought an
interview with Judge j. II, wilkins
at his home, where he was refused
on the grounds that should anything
come Of the case, 1t would be heard
before Judge wilkins and he had no
desire to hear 1t with any bias.
Monday morning, the report came
In that all was serene over in Red
Fork. as regards the ice situation.
Smith, it is reported went on that
day to Taylor and offered to deliver
him ice, but objected to having to
go beyond the city limits. This was
again put up to Judge wilkins who
told Mr. Taylor that. inasmuch as
Smith had shown that much fairness,
II would be best for him to meet
Smith at the city limits and take the
ice. although there is no law defin'
ing the trade territory of dealer
in ice.
The case is still under investiga-
tlon, Interesting developments are
expected by the office Of the deputy
United States marshal in case any
more of the same kind of discrimin-
alton shows up among the other
