State Aspect
OKLAHOMA CPry-Will the demo
cratic party Of Oklahoma be split wide
open in the event Mayor j. c. Walton
of Oklahoma City wins the democratic
nomination for governor?
That Is one Of the paramount ques'
tions being debated in the state as next
Tuesday primary drawing near.
MIR. Walton's acceptance of the en-
dorsemcnt OF farmer?-labor construction
league. which has n program patterned
largely after that of the non-partlsan
league of North Dakota. has brought
down upon him the opposition of a big
section of the democratic press Of the
state, and that of followers OF Walton's
two opponents for the nomination, IL.
n. Wilson, state superintendent OF pub.
lie instruction and Thomas Fl. owen,
former Justice Of the state supreme
court
q None of the anti-Walton forces ad'
NIT that the Oklahoma city mayor has
chance.
But Walton makes as broad claims to
success as tho opposition
Just how far his democratic oppon'
ents would go IL Walton should be sue
cessful in the primary is one of the un-
answerable questions of the campaign.
Not admitting that Walton will poll
enough votes to win. none OF the OPP
posing forces have officially committed
themselves in advance on whether their
opposition IL naterable.
Possible Boiling
Two courses. Il Is pointed out, would
he open to the anti-Waltonlte demo
Gratis II Walton becomes the democratic
candidate for the governors chair
silence In the campaign proceeding the
gubernatorial election In November or
a swing to the support OF John Fields
of Oklahoma city, farm paper editor,
who Is conceded to have the republi-
can nomination In his pocket
Predictions are freely made by politl.
cal observers that while the "wheel
horse" demands will stay with Walton,
should he De nominated, the big bulk
of those strongly opposing him In the
primary VIII accept the bitter pill''
of turning To the support OF a republi'
can. rather than accept Walton.
on the other hand 1t IL pointed out,
Walton would carry many farmor.labor
republican votes and socialist votes
should he fnce Fields Ia the fall.
A number Of republican newspapers
have been lending comfort to Walton In
his campaign for the democratic nom
nation IL is claimed by nnti.Waltonites
because the republicans feel Walton
would be the easiest democrat to beat
In the general elections.
