| Robertson Having Troubles.
While Governor j. Il. A. Robert.
son, by winTing his contention over
state Auditor Frank Carter to have
u mill and one half tax levy spread
by the assessors, should be happy
the past week has brought him
more than usual political sorrow.
| The tax levy will give the governor
| com mand of 4 largo fund to spend
and with no lawful provision for It's
! spending. but other matters are ot
equal importance and the rough
places In the roadway are not being
removed with celerlty
The governor did much toward
dominating Scott Ferris for United
States senator, hut he was cop'd-
erably worried because the campaign
com m!ttee would not make the Issue
on the merits Of his very unusual ad-
ministration, and the league oI ma
lions covenant was chosen Tor the
hpG sNf Ia a.
lhc race issue TO be used whom the
storm troops took to the field OF
opcult!ons.
Consequently. the campaign com
mdtee 5 speakers bureau did not hil
the governor for speeches. such -
he has made have been on his own
account and in accordance with h's
way OF thinking the campaign should
be conducted.
But Robertson il resourceful ana
in "A position to command sinew' OF
| political war. when National Dem
ocratic Committeeman George L'
, Bowman and the Daily OklanouAh
issued a demand for funds to aid The
. ationai committee, state democrats
responded with a whoop, some CIV
ing as much 40 $50, and many Of
them So. SloWness in meeting the
requests of the national committee
Inspired Governor Robertson with
, an idea, and, although the campalSn
com mittee sought to riscourage hln'
kc raised money. Not little plt,
hut several thousand dollars and had
II sent dl,ect to the national demo-
era tic committee treasurer.
Thus whilu the governor has h"en
, ignored by the democratic "ampalSn
committee. he has been able to steer
cut into the open, and the fact Lhdt
he and State Treasurer Leccratt are
20 closely connected pohHcaIy
placed him in a com mandirg posi-
tion to know just where the loose
change could be had for the DEM
ocrat!c national committee.
However, there is one new qutS,
tion upon which the governor ara
the campaign committee can agree
.-thal there is being waged i1Rh'
. to elect Legislature that Will De
, hostile to the governor: at least ono
which ne cannot control Inns
