DAILY OKLAAOMAA is
SUED AND BOYC0TTED
BY MAYOR OF CITY

Oklahoma City. July Oscillations
between the Oklahoma City municipal
administration and the Oklahoma Pub
fishing Company. publishers OF the
Oklahoman and Times, have been
strained since the city election In
April. For several weeks II has been
regarded as certain that an open rup'
ture would occur and like the European
disturbance 1t developed rapidly. On
Friday of last week Mayor j. W. Wal
ton sued the publishing company FOR
libel, demanding 100000 because OF
alleged libelous statements printed In
the two daily papers published by the
defendant company Upon the heels
Of the suit came an order forbidding
reporters representing the two papers
To examine records and this was follo"-
ed by verbal orders at the police sta
ton barring the news gatherers from
that institution.
The fued began in the municipal pri-
mary in March, when the newspapers
supported by another democratic can
dldate for mayor and upon the noinl-
nation of Walton bolted and support
ed the republican nominee. one OF
the first of Mayor Walton's officali
acts was to demand that the publish
ing company be required to vacate
portion OF Fourth street. claiming II
was using city property without au'
thority. This is cellars" beneath the
sidewalk and the publishing company
has resisted the demand. claiming
that the plans for its building which
included the use of ground beneath the
sidewalk was included in its plans
which were approved by the building
INSPECTOR of previous administra
tation. Walton has also advocated
the widening of Fourth street, Which'
If effected, it is understood Will bring
the street line up to the walls OF the
publishing company's building.
A special municipal election was heid
Saturday. at which proposed charter
amendments and bonds issue were
voted upon. All of the propositions
were defeated but apathy of the Vot'
ers probably was the real reason ioi
their defeat The smallest proportion
ate vote in the history or the city
urobably. was east, and it is said tha'
probably more than one-third OF the
voters did not know an election was
i'm nrogress. The city administration
made little or no effort to conduct
campaign for the bonds
