Governor Walton. who lays tho
state Of ~insurrection" in Oklahoma
upon the Ku Klux Khan has
fought the khan bitterly from al
most the inception OF his admins
tration.
"There can be but one govern
ment in Oklahoma-that Is the reg
uiarly constituted. visible govern
ment established by the constitu-
ton" he has constantly asserted.
The executives first stnnd against
the khan was taken when scores OF
floggings OF men and women were
reported throughout the state. with
locaa authorities apparently taking
no steps to end the Outrage, and in
MANY instances plainly cooperating
with the mauraders.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture abe governor obtained a large
ap~propriation with which he estab-
lished a state detective department
to investigate the reign of terror"
Following a quiet investigation,
the governors office announced that
more than 1000 floggings had oc-
CURED within the two years and II
there were any more he would give
the local authorities a chance to
prosecute but IL they failed he would
control.
Floggings occurred in Okmulgee
almost Immediately after and after
an ultimatum the local officials
failed to get action, troops were sent
TO the county. Tho governor on
obtaining guarantees there would be
no further floggings. withdrew the
troops.
A month ago, despite warnings,
floggings took place in Tulsa county.
A woman was Kidnapped and brutally
treated by a mob. Troops moved
into the city and have enforced the
strictest military rule.
A rigid court inquiry was eEtab-
lished 10 get the basic facts and the

Although the Ku Klux Khan de-
MED any knowledge OF the w~hippings
and has yet refused to take any re-
sponsibility for the situation in the
county, several mon who admitted
membership in the khan, confessed to
participation in whipping parties"
Each was sentencsd to two years i'm
prisonment.
The governor then demanded that
officials who he said ruled the coun-
ty and who he declared were dom.
mated by the khan. resign They
refused.
Walton said that II Il was neces-
sary to extend martial law to an
other community he would place the
entire state under military rule.
Acts of Instruction" in the opin-
ion OF the governor were committed
at Muskogee and carrying out his
threat. he placed that city and Creek
county under absolute martial law
