OKLAHOMA CITY. Nov. a.
when without advertising Campbell
Russell appeared at q meeting called
for the purpose OF making arrange
mente for the John Fields home
corning Saturday night, and It was
announced that he would speak, he
faced as many people as could be
hacked into the district courtroom.
scores who had heard that Russell
was TO be present were obliged. 10
leave because every foot OF standing
room was occupied.
Russell was greeted with cheers
as he was introduced by Chairman
Fred Clark, who stated that the
meeting was called to arrange plans
for the Fields meeting saturday
but would hear from Campbell
Russell.
A. every period during the terrific
grilllng which Russell gave Mayor
Walton, he was given applause
which reached its height when the
speaker read n letter from the First
Christian church OF this city deny
ing that Walton is a member ~ that
church or any other church In the
city. He then launched into an eX-
coriatlon of n man who would not
only bring religion into politics in
the effort TO be elected to office hut
would falsify the religion after drag
ging II in.
You people in oklahoma City
should be ashamed of yourselves, ="
declared Russell. For you mad II
possible by electing him mayor TO
bring him before the state as candi-
date for governor. Neither he nor
his politics have carried Oklahoma
City or county since he was elected
mayor nearly four years ago.
But the people OF the state don't
know this. They are being led to
believe that he is going 10 carry
this city and county by thousands,
when you and / know that he IS not
going to carry II all. That is not
enough. You owe It to the people
OF the state to make the majority so
large that the people of this state
will never have occasion 10 charge
you with such a thing again.
Walton has gone around all over
the state. telling the people that he
has saved you 100000 in gas re
bates by sending Charley Ruth 10
Washington TO look after your in
terests in the supreme court. He
also boasts that he made this great
saving possible by going down into
his capacious pocket and getting
5000 10 pay Ruth's expenses. He
has a way of getting currency into
his pockets where IL can be easily
available. But why haven't you got
the rebate?
'I'll tell you. The corporation
commission won the case In the
court with its own attorney. Ruth
didn't do anything but get In the
way. And you are not getting the
rebate for the reason that since
last Jura whe nthe supreme codrt
sustained the commissions order 70
allow the rebate. It has been held
up by this same Charley Ruth be-
cause he enjoined the commission
from paying It to you until he is
allowed a fee Of % per cent"
This brought cheers from the
audience, as also did his reference
10 the building and loan stock pur'
chases OF the mayor. III the things
that / am telling you are not true.
he exclaimed, II would not be run
ming at large. And have told them
all over the state, that / think 1t has
been my duty to do"
Plans for the Fields Homecoming
involve a parade prior to the mair
meeting which will be held in th'
city auditorium, Two overflow meet
ings have been planned.
