Three Bobs and a Judgship
kBh John
Oklahomane are aometimea a
bit slow to act but when once
srouaed they are willing to go the
limit. Of coure R L Owen
thought they were just having a
little Joke when It wae firat an-
nounced that Bob Galbreelh had
jumped amack into the race to
wrest the aenatonal toga away
from him but the Senator he
changed hl mind. 0 yes in-
deed! It will be recalled that when
Mr Galbreath'a candidacy waa
fir4 announced that Mr Owen
eneersd a few eneera and through
his Washington preea agents
atated through the Oklahoma
newspspera that he would "ot P1
the state a visit before the Aug-
ust primaries. But Bob changed
his mind and Bob came back and
he had no letter of endorsement
from fVeaident Wilton tucked in
th boson of hia a Ik ehirt either.
Of course K seemed a bif peculiar
that the somewhat frigicl states-
man when he did return to the
state he loves so dearly at elec-
tion time ahould paae up eastern
Oklahoma entirely by making a
bee line for Oklahoma City. But
there was a reason as now seems
apparent. There waa a little fed-
eral Judgship controversy on and
inasmuch as Gov Bob Williama
coveted the place and yet had
not always been quit as e pres-
erve of hit affection for the Junior
aerator from Oklahoma as he
might have been he has evidently
been prevailed upon by the sena-
tor who ia her ts make a fiw
patriotic "war talks" and not to
discuaa politics in any manner.
Shape or form to hest r himself
in th interests of a man wham
Bob Gatbreath 'will tak to a
cleaning on August ath.
What happened Th arrival
Senator Owen in th tete was
announced. H appear a ce at
Oklahoma City was heralded
throughout th commonwealth.
It is presumed he must have
catted n Gov William whs was
under fir from organ ied labor
and who appointment te th
federal bench to succeed Judge
Ra p E Campbell resigned waa
hanging fir. Mr Owen evidently
commenced ta pvt th clamp on
th governor and th governor
wanting th federal judgship
bad'y that ha seel1 almost teat
. Ks cracked th wh p. When
th atage had aU been set and th
senator's war talk" Itinerary had
been arranged rt waa fewrd
that Governor Bow wse to ac
eewtpeny Beeatee Bob through
wertem Oklahoma.
Finding a somewhat pTeb'.e
Btat Council of De'ense created
by th governor fcimoetf. Which
eeu'd be r!ted ts h.s support a
political gas attach was ordered
tf wenator Owen. Th governor
twsys accornenodating anal nevwe
!WWWk1WMttAfftifll ae.atasnHSveVa'T
C" -.mjr?y l w "a-
f-'Unntr)
dicourteOis and not desiring to
hurt the feelings of Mr Owen saw
that the machinsry was placed In
motion to do a bit of boosting for
his friend the senator under a
sort of patriotic 'camouflage. The
State Council of lefeneo desiring
to do nothing that could In any
manner be objected to as beyond
the pale of war work very gra-
cioualy took upon himself the task
of acting asSenator Owen's press
agrnt whil "in our midst." Of
course there wss no profiteer-
ing in patriotism b declaring tn
the circulars announcing th
apeaklng dates of th man who
waa caught red-handed In his at-
tempts ts shield rich elackor
from army service and on th
part of the man who preferred
to rant his vacant home as a
boarding houae rather than to the
Red Croas. Of course not I Per-
ish th thought. Fulsome ref-
erences to the part played by the
senator in connection with the
cltiid labor law the passage of
th federal reserve act etc were
quite appropriate trimmings to
set off an announcement of meet-
ings devoted aotely to patriotism.
Every on with a grain of sense
knows that in erdsr to win the
war It waa absolutely necessary
for the State Council of Defense
ta devote a paragraph or two as
to how well Mr Owen stood with
President Wilson's office force-
but nary a line about th failure
of th junior aenator to obtain an
official endorsement from te
president himself. Th studied
effort on the part of Gov William
defense council ts svoid th men-
tion of polit.es in th announce-
ment of the Owen meetings Is
quit noticeable. Every ana ad-
mits that the weather and th
aenatorial race is hot but Is It
quits fair on th part of Senator
Owen ts keep Governor Williams
dancing like an ant on a hot
boulder by constantly dangling
th rich. Juicy judiciary plum be-
fore hia eyes? So rear and yet
as far ia the fruit that th Gov-
ernors mouth ia kept watering
continuously. Me Owen's en-
dorse mo nt for th Job coveted b7
the chief ecutivs of Oklahoma
hi said t be conditioned upon th
support of th governor f th
aenetoe. It is a sort of you t-ckle
en and I'll t'ckl yoM preposition
as It were Th Judicial appoint-
enent ha net yet bean mad.
Senator Owen will e ta M that
none I mad until th primary
la Over. He h th governor on
the hio. And what In th weHd
a te prevent Mr Owen from
changing ht mind after he has
been retired te private (f by
Bab Calbreatkr Wh know but
what Bob Ga breath wHI rt have
ta aettia th muddle vr the
J-dgohip. f
