of five important civic and trade
bodies of the District called today
upon Senator Ball, chairman of the
District committee. and other men,
bers of the Senate, to urge them to

plan in the District appropriation
bill. The committee called the atten-
ton of the senators to the fact that
the proposed plan contained legisla-
ton which was not to be found in the
bill as it passed either the House or the

it was unjust to the citizens of the
District, who had been given no op-
portunity to be he ard.

BLACKWELL, Sept. 2l.--"I stood
on that platform in the primaries, /

Wlll stand on that platform IL elected
governor" Mayor Walton OF Okla
homa City declared TO a crowd OF
LoOO persons who filled the Electric
pavilion here tonight, after his an
houncement that the Shawnee Re-
construction league platform will be
'he working guide to the coming

GUIDED. after reading and comment
ing upon each section Of the Shaw

After a statement of his record at
oklahoma City, Walton charged that
the state republicans had already
spent $4,000 in advertising. He ad-
mltted his finance committees had
not, up to the present time received
much In the way OF campaign funds,

aged and controlled bank at the
capital, where Tulsa county, Tulsa
city and the Tulsa school district
would be forced to send It's money
and know It was TO be handled by
a bunch that Is itching to get its
hands into the pie.
"You may want to send your
money to such an institution--but
chorus OF noes" came from the
audience.
Must Clean Up Obligations.
What we need most urgently in
Oklahoma right now In more bust e
ness In government and less govern
ment in business Fields insisted
This state must clean up our pres
ent obligations before taking on any
new ones"
Then he knocked tho props from
under the reconstruction leagues
platform plank to establish state
warehouses and mills by relating
what happened to like projects in
North Dakota.
The warehouse scheme cost the
people OF North Dakota $4,000 be-
fore IL was stopped. The uonpartisan
league leaders told the farmers they
were not getting enough for their
wheat and that the establishing OF o
stste-owned warehouse would
mean great Increase in the price
paid them for wheat. Then the same
leaders told the city people that by
establishing state-owned flour
mill the cost OF flour would be
greatly decreased.
what really happened was that
the price OF wheat went no higher
and the cost of flour no lower, and
the warehouse and mill showed a
constant deficit in operation--a de-
ficit that had to be made up by the
people.
II believe the people OF Oklahoma
have enough sense to handle their
own business"
The home ownership plan means
a mortgage on every home in the
state. the speaker pointed out. In
North Dakota no laborer in the city
and no farmer IN the country got a
home through Il. The only homes
built were those which were to be
occupied by the leaders OF the nom
partisan league.
Everything should be done 20
promote home ownership" Fields
asserted. but we will accomplish
nothing toward this end by entering
into socialistic schemes. In the plat
form on which republicans are run
ming for state offices, we maintain
that little plain common decency
will obviate a lot OF new legislation.

that this love has not yet grown cold
despite her marriage to another.
\ JOyridc Says Fisher.
Fishers version OF the automobile
ride was that It was entirely a sweet
hearts 10y ride, that he drove the
car to the Audcrs home To call on
his intended wife with no thought OF
making a sale: that she ran out the
door jumped into the car and told
him to come on" when he ap-
pearcd reluctant she called him
"stingy."
From her home. he stated she
drove to the Mason garage on South
Boulder. whore they obtained some
gasoline and where, while they were
waiting, she leaned over and kissed
him, oblivlous TO tho looks OF the
spectators.
She drove until they reached Fed
eral Drive, he continued, when he
took the wheel His statement con-
cerning the accident was virtually
the same as hers except as 10 the
cars speed. She declared he was
racing with another Mercer car
driven by John Boiling, while Fisher
insisted he did not see Boiling dur
ing the drive except at the east end
or Admiral, whore the Boiling car
passed them
Tho case assumed some Of the ns-
poets OF breach of promise suit
during the examinations by attorneys
to show the jury when the love affair
started and how IL ended.
Fisher Postponed Wedding Bells.
Fisher testified he told Mrs. Cros-
bic Immediately after tho accident
he thought II would bo the part OF
wisdom to postpone their wedding
until he had recovered physically
and financially from his Illness. His
injuries consisted mainly OF shat

by some OF his friends in Oklahoma

Fields turned numorist for a few
minutes while he commented on the
claim OF his opponent and OF Cover
nor Robertson, that he pays no taxes
and that he lives In tho Skirvln
hotel.
He evidently forgot to look on
the state auditors books when he
made the statement that | pay no
taxes. IL he had looked closely he
would have discovered that my In
come tax last year was S49l. That
may not be much taxes In Tulsa,

"I haven't had the opportunities of

ployed to protect the property OF

Governor Robertson's insinuatlons
against Fields did not escape his
attention.
'If ] am elected I promise you
without equivocation, mental rescr-
vation or anything else that my in
come tax report will tell the truth" ,"
he asserted. ut will be unlike the
present governors report for the
year 1919, when he made n return
on s4.500, claiming that, as his
salary was all no received.

However, the legislative investl-
eating committee discovered his
