The spectacular administration of
Governor Jack Walton hangs in the
balance today as voters of "a out
Of Oklahoma's n counties went to
the polls despite the executives edict
that the election is a pretention and
will be null and void. The Walton
administration is hanging by a slen-
der thread. Anti-Waltonites jubilant-
ly predict he will not see two more
months in office. His friends frankly
are pessimistic over the immediate
situation, but they say he will in
some way weather the storm.
To completely understand today's
unprecedented and muddled situation
in Oklahoma, it is necessary to go
all the way back TO Jack Walton's
first step into politics as commission
er of public works in Oklahoma City.
He claims he was "persecuted into
the job" At that time more or
less regular Democrat. Walton was
not long in office before he became
the stormy petrol of local government.
He was accused of being extravagant
in the matter of city improvements
and new works. Bitter enmities were
engendered. and again he says he was
"persecuted into running for mayor. :"
His strongest support came from the
workers and a majority of the NUM-
cipal employees, chiefly the police
whom he later. rs mayor. organized
into union similar to the one brok-
en- up in Boston by Coolidge.

About two and a half years ago
the Ku Klux Kan began TO make
its organization felt throughout the
state 1t was about that time that.

writer he never joined. but that he
may have been involuntarily join
ed" What is purported to be signed
cards showing bis alleged membership
in the klan have been widely cir
culated. He calls them forgeries. AT
any rate. about the time he became
mayor he issued permit for the
Khan to hold an immense parade here.
1t brought q storm of disapproval
from many quarters. the local news
papers leading in the condemnation.
The incident passed over.
And then came the last campaign
for governor. The Democrats were
badly disorganized. Walton. still
using his own phrase. decided to run
against the regular nominees in the
primaries "because of persecution.
After bitter fight against him by
Democratic leaders, Mr.. Walton, in

Leading Democrats like W. l..
Cunningham. who admits freely his
membership in the khan. supported
him in the election and he won by
$4,000 votes. Cunningham and other
klansmen say the khan voted for him
almost as one. and there is no deny
ing the fact that that organization
is strong in the state. Governor Wal
ton himself says the voters are per

Floggings OH Increase.
Meantime floggings by gangs,
masked and otherwise, evictions from
the state and similar acts of violence,
grew in numbers. particularly in Ok

There is no question but what some
klansmen were mixed up in these af-

Pickens High Loses


 REFORM, Ala, Nov. u.-(Special.) The Pickens County High school grid team clashed with the much heavier team from Lamar County High here Friday afternoon in one of the most interesting gridlron battles ever staged on Graham field. When the noise from the resounding clash died down the boys from Vernon had put over two toucrdowns while the locals registered only one. Score 12 to z, but the resultant score does not pie ture the great battle, with it's line plunging of the visitors and the beau tifully executed forward passes of the Pickens county boys. Cox for Pickens county was by far the outstanding star of the game. being in every play, and carrying the ball for great gains, around the ends, through the Vernon line. catching the passes from Simpson, and many other spectacular plays. Turner for the visitors played great ball. The local fans are well pleased with the showing of their home team against this line whcih outweighed the line of the Reform team 20 pounds to the man. The work of Robert Leonard. the hundred and twelve-pound end for Pickens was great feature. A large crowd from neighboring communities witnessed the contest.
