bankruptcy petition Of X X. Smith,
oil broker listing liabilities at
$1,750,OCO. Smnhs petition listed
S2S.32 cash as assets.
The liabilities included $1,2S5,-

which Smith was a director Eight
other directors of the company have
listed the same amount in their
bankruptcy statements. A large part
OF the balance was contracted on
notes Of the Globe company and
other stocks which are said to have
been worthless.
The new ''Ponzi' listed banks

merce trust and other of the strong

WALTON PRAISED y
WOODROW WILSON
Pays Glowing Tribute to formel
President In soecoh at Shawnee,
Declares Statement From
Democratic Headquarters.

J. c. Walton. democratic nominee
for governor OF Oklahoma. praised
f. Woodrow Wilson in his speech be
fore the shawnee convention. ac'
cording to written statement Is
sued this morning at democratic
headquarters here.
The statement contains two para
graphs from the text OF Mayor Wal
toms speech before the convention,
February 23. as published in an Ok
lahoma City newspaper which was
at that time and which is now bit
terly opposed to the mayors candl'
dacy.
"These paragraphs are quoted just
as they appeared In the Oklahoma
City newspaper" the statement
reads. "Since publishing the text
OF Mr.. walton's speech at Shawnee,
this paper has devoted much space
quoting speakers who declared that
Mayor Walton is afraid TO mention
the name of Woodrow WILSON, The
two paragraphs from Mr.. Walton's
address are given as follows:
II Am Democrat"
"In conclusion permit me TO state
that what has been said does not
embody all ideas ideas of needed
legislation, but has been said by me
to assure you that will be a can
didate for governor Of this state up
on the democratic ticlNt. I am a
democrat by reason of my belief in
the principles of democracy as en-
nuncited by Thomas Jefferson, for
the reason that the democratic party
offers at this time the only haven
of refuge, the only safe harbor
wherein may be anchored the ship
of state, the only barrier behind
which the farmer the laborer and
the honest business man may en-.
trench himself and successfully re.
pei the attacks of predatory wealth
City Went Democratic.
1T is with pardonable pride | re
fer to the fact that at the last ma.
tional election, when mems minds
were inflamed, and demigogues were |
abroad in our land, Oklahoma City |
and county rolled up the largest |
democratic majority in its history |
and gave to the democratic stand
ard-bearers' their unstinted support I
toward the porpetuation of the poll
cies of that matchless democrat who
has had more influence for good in
molding the thought and shaping |
the destiny of this war-weary world
than any other mortal since the I
death of the lowly Nazarene. That
democrat, an antagonistic
press described as The pillar Of
peoples hope, the center of
worlds desire; in whom the op-
pressed saw their hope of freedom,
liberty, even life ITSELF Needless
for me to repeat the name of that
man-Woodrow Wilson"

Of renting rooms for immoral pur-

picion of the officers, VINO have kept a
close watch Oh him and the woman.

While being questioned he made the
statement that he had married the

formerly Miss Bernice Kyle, from
whom he claims he now has a divorce.
1t developed that on Friday of last

ton, of Vienna, La, at Monroe, who
accompanied him here, evidently
ignorant of his connection with the

he married Miss Mccall somewhere
in Ohio, and it is not known definite

from her or not.
He was placed in Jail but has since

FORD AND THE SHOALS.

Members Of the United States SEN
ate who are attempting to block Henry
Ford's efforts to secure and develop
Muscle Shoals will have a. very hard
time making the people believe that
their efforts are: not prompted by
selfish interests. Cheap fertilizer
would mean a great agricultural de-
velopment that would benefit the
whole country with the exception of
manufacturers Of fertilizers. To be
sure the interests of the government
should be properly protected. No one
wants to see the government simply
turn over the plant to Ford for his
own profit without considerable
benefit to the people. This he has
promised. Ali that the government
need do is see that the terms Of the
contract are such that neither Ford
nor his successors will be able to
dodge the obligation incurred.
