farmers, to tap the normal supplies

cooperative associations that will put
them on the same basis of credit with
other industries

that the present system provides for
six months agricultural credit as com

that he would submit the same evi.
dence that had previously been pre-
sented to the grand jury in Superior
Judge II. II. Chnstopher's court and
upon which twenty-one indictments
involving two high state officials had
been based. The indictments we're
never returned because Judge Chris
topher discharged the jury when 1t
was about to make its final repor',
holding that the jury had be |,
illegally drawn. Ai
The superior court grand jury was
impaneled in December. 1t returned
number OF indictments including
two against e. j. Kersting and w.
L. Sullins. election officials Of
Henryetta, charging them with fraud
in connection with the last general
election.
Shortly after the indictments were
returned counsel for Kersting and
Sullins made a motion to quash the
indictments on the ground that the
jury had been improperly drawn. On
Feb. S, Judge Christopher sustained
the motion and discharged the grand
jury. His action provoked a court
house demonstration that has never
been equaled in the history of the
state. County Attorney Hepburn
bitterly attacked the court decision
and openly accused Judge Christoph-
er of having been unduly influenced
by high state officials" The pro-
secutors remarks were cheered re-
peatedly by the court room specta-
tors and threats we're made against
the jurist. In the midst Of confusion
in the court room Judge Christopher
retired to his ante chamber, locked
the door, summoned his wife and
family and together they fled from
