THE STATE pow-wow

The recent democratic state con.
trail committee pow-wow, at Okla
homa City proved one thing con.
| clusively:
Not all the comedians in the
country are under contract to cir
cuses and theaters. vne hundred
and seventy some-odd of them, all
under one roof at Oklahoma City
yesterday. declared In chorus that
the republican administration al
Washington is responsible for the
failure of the Oklahoma bank gaur-
anty law to function properly. They
shouldn't have stopped there. The
joke could have been completed by
commencing the stand taken by
Fred Dennis In making himself
scarce at this particular time.
Governor Robertson told the dem
ocratic members OF the state com.
mittee that every one OF them was
Just as guilty as he, and that is
probably why vote Of confidence
and support was extended him.
We can't see why Governor Rob
ertson should become so excited ov-
about him. Did not the national
did not the state committee "reso-
Lutte" that II was the Harding ad-
ministration which had robbed the
state banks of cash belonging to de-
positors? In the face of this
charge the Okmulgee grand jury
did an ignoble act In indicting the
governor and his compatriots in
stead of indicting President Hard
ing.
And If the inter-party strife were
not sufficient to disgust the right
thinking people of the state, then
surely the reeking insincerity of the
resolutions, after the politicians
had got in their work and gagged
the delegates, is. These resolutions
aid not approve the present admin
istration, nor did they condemn ;
they simply pledged the governor
the cooperation of the party in en-
forcing the law. And in the next
paragraph these leaders of democ-
racy in Oklahoma blamed the ma
tional administration at Washington
for the corruption and wreckage
which characteriZes the state bank
ing system in oklahoma!
Not word concerning Okmulgee,
the Wilkins-Hale bank at Oklahoma
City, the Coalgate bank and hun
dreds of others: not word about
Fred Dennis; not a word about ev-
cry vital fact which has prostituted
oklahoma
Probably a more amazing political
resolution was never adopted in the
history of the United States. One
marvels that Fred Dennis was not
recalled from his hiding, wherever
he may be, and placed in charge of
the coming campaign with a medal
from the democratic party pinned
triumphantly on his breast. In view
of the cowardly hypocrtical and
wholly dishonest evasion indulged
in regarding responsibility for the
wrecked state banking system, II
is battling why the committee failed
to point with pride to the existing
state maladministration.
