ton in Walton Case
OkLAHOMA CITY. Oh. -

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. pa
An effort to fill two executive OF,
ders with the secretary of the
state was made by clerk from the
office of Governor Walton.
Miss Una0una Roberts, assistan.
secretary of state, refused to ac-
cept the papers in view of reso-
luton adopted by the state sem
ate suspending Governor Walton
from office.
Observers believe the incident
may be made the basis for court
action to test the legality of the
executives position.
After one of the stormiest ses-
siors it has had, the lower House
of the legislature adopted a reso-
luton infreduced by Representa-
tive GaBlahan, supporter of Cover
nor Walton, asking for an investi-
cation of who financed the at
tempted meeting of the house mem
bers when they were dispersed by
the military.
In the heated exchange Of de-
bate, Callahan said that he would
prove the attempted meeting was
financed by Ku Klux Klsn.
The text Of the resolution sus-
pending Governor Walton frenAof-
flee, follows:
Whereas, The House of Repre-
sentatives of the Ninth Legislature,
pursuant to the provisions Of the
constitution has filed with the Sen
ate articles of impeachment.
Whereas, ]. G. Walton. governor
of Oklahoma, is charged with Of

Whereas. the filing of the arti-
cles with the Senate automatically

and the office with its duties and

"Now, therefore, be it resolved
by the Senate that the governor and
liutenant governor be advised as to
their duties in this event and that
