FOR DEMOCRATIC
LATFORM NOW
II Stand Upon Every Plank
Of Platform" He Says in
Telegram to Mathers; At
mosphere Clarified Here.

Jack Walton. nominee for governor
or the democratic ticket. comes out
strongly for the democratic platform
as written in Oklahoma City recently.
The first utterance by him since Inn
mediately after the state convention,
came Friday morning in the form of
telegram to james H. Mathers. former
county attorney here. The telegram.
local democrats believe, is probably one
Of a large number sent out to his
friends over the state. 1t is as follows:
THE democratic platform recently
adopted by the state convention is the
most progressive and constructive
adopted by the democrats Of this state
and / stand upon every plank thereof.
and II elected governor of Oklahoma
shall lend every effort toward carrying
it out, as well as putting into effect all
other measures / have in the past or
may in the future believe to be to
the best interests of all the people of
the state"
Clarifies Atmosphere.
The telegram. his local leaders de-
clare, clarifies the atmosphere consid'
erably regarding the Walton policies.
Until this message, Walton had not
indicated how he felt about the demo
cratic platform.
His statement that "if elected gov
ernor of Oklahoma shall lend every
effort toward carrying 1t out as well
as putting into effect all other meas
ures / have in the past or may in the
future believe to be to the best inter
ests, etc, etc" however Is taken ms
an Indication that he VIII not renouice
certain planks of the Shawnee platform
as advocated during the primary cam
paign. 1t is pointed out. in connection
with this angle Of the Walton policies
that the tax exemption plan and the
state soldier bonus are matters that
will take more than agitation by CUB

WICKERSHAM SAYS OIL WORK
 WILL NOT START THIS YEAR

A coast newspaper quotes Judge Wickersham as saying it is very doubtful if anything will be done this summer in the Cold Bay dis trict beyond preparing for activity next year. It is possible, the judge says, that machinery for drilling will be landed this year by one. and possibly, two companies, but active operations are not likely to be car ried on before next year, the climat- ic conditions not being favorable for winter work.
 Judge Wickersham had intended visiting the Cold Bay region on his way back to Juneau from the h. terior. but he went only as far as Kodiak, where he met several re- presentatives of the concerns that contemplate operations in the oil field They were all confident that Cold Bay will prove to be a pro- ducer eventually.

NEVADA IS A
HEALTHY STATE
REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH REvALS VERY
INTERESTING FACTS

That Nevada is one of the healthiest
states In the union Is shown by the
statistics compiled for 1921 by DR..
S. L. Lee, state health officer, in his
report published In the January issue
of the bulletin issued by the Nevada
board of health.
During the year the total number
of deaths reported was but 965,
while the births number 1895 dur
ing the twelve months ending in De-
cember. One of the most remarkable
things about the report is shown In
the low infant morality. and the re-
port also brings out the fact that the
greatest number of deaths was for
those who had reached from sixty to
seventy years of age. there being 1873
deaths for persons between those
ages.
The only two diseases assuming
the form of epidemics," says the bull
letin. q were typhoid fever and small
pox, the former being purely local
in character and the number affected
small"
In all % cases of smallpox were
reported during the year, from ali
parts of the state, and were generally
discrete in type. But one case re-
ported resulted in death.
In births for the year the bulletin
shows a total of 1895, boys leading
girls, 722 to 673, thus fulfilling ths
old belief that there are more boy
than girl babies following war O.
this total, nine babies were OF illegi
innate birth. There were thirteer
pairs of twins
| A coincident in that number o
births In 1921 were exactly the same
as for 1917, both as regard number
and sex.
As to parentage, 1899 were born o.
white. thirty-five of Mongolian, one O
black and fifty-eight or red parents
with two half-cast In S93 instances
both parents were native Americans
in ninety the mother native ant
the father foreign; In fifty-eight
father native and mother foreign, an,
in 327 cases both parents were o
foreign birth. Two hundred sixty
nine of the fathers and 293 of tn
mothers were born in Nevada.
