PRIMARY CROWDED
BY DEMOCRATS
Non.Partisan League Issue
Stirs Voting Interest in
Oklahoma.
STATE BALLOT AUGUST |
Farmer Labor Reconstruction Ele.
ment Charged With
Camouhage.
Rv the Associated Press.


OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. July 20
With a Non-Partisan League issue
drawing especial attention to the con-
test for the democratic nomination
for governor, voters Of Oklahoma are
preparing to register their preference
for all state offices August /. A
larger number of candidates are in the
field than ever before in the history
OF the state.
The non-pariisan issue arises from
charges made against J. c. Walton,
mayor of Oklahoma City and a can
didate for the democratic nomination,
who has been indorsed by the Farmer
Labor Reconstruction League, an or
ganization formed at a joint conven-
tion of the Oklahoma State Fedora
ton of La Dor and two groups of
farmers. Waltons opponents assert
that the Reconstruction League is the
Nom Partisan League under new
name and that Walton is attempting
to use the prestige of the democratic
party to sweep the reconstructionists
into power. The issue has caused the
campaign to take on unusual i'm
portancc.
Walton is opposed by Thomas II.
owen. former Justice of the state su-
preme court. and r. II. Wilson. state
superintendent of public instruction.
All are making vigorous campaigns.
Indorses Plumb Plan.
The platform adopted by the Recon-
Structiou League. and upon which
Walton agreed TO run. included the
following planks: Endorsement of the
Plumb plan for control of the rail-
roads. approval of public ownership
of various utilities and the printing
of all school text books by the state,
opposition to reduction in the wages
pi railroad employees. condemnation
Of compulsory military training and
q demand that war protiteers be COM
PEELED to pay the nations military
debt.
Wilson and owen have advanced no
outstanding principle in their plat
forms. Each. however, has recon-
mended changes in the state banking
system designed to strengthen the
guaranty feature and safeguard men,
Der banks.
Next to the Wilson Watson Owen
race general interest in the primary
centers in the congressional contests.
In which all present representatives
are candidates for denomination.
Observers are watching especially the
second and eighth districts. These
arc represented respectively by Miss
Alice Robertson of Muskogee and
Manuel Herrick of Perry. Both Miss
Robertson and Herrick were elected
in the republican landslide of 1920.
and observers agree that stubborn
opposition faces them in their efforts
for denomination.
Democratic Stronghold.
Until 1920 the district was regarded
by the democrats as one of their
strongholds. 1t is said that Miss
Robertson is perhaps the only can
didate in the primary who is obliged
to take into consideration the
women's vote. Considerable opposi-
tion is said to have been voiced by
women of her district to her attitude
