Gourley administrative assistant
to Gov Howard Edmondson to-
day dcfmded a poll on repeal
which drew eitirnn from five lo-
cal ministers wiwn published in
Gould( y's new-paper the Henry-
ctta Free-Lance
The ministers challenged the ac-
curacy of the poll which 47 out
It 53 persons coatact2d in Henry-
etta to be in favor of repealing
prohibition At least 25 other daily
newspapers over the state con-
ductod similar polls since Satur-
day and results of the statewide
opinion survey will be published
Wednesday
(kurley one of Eimondson's
closest advisers said the pull was
conducted by his managing editor
Bill Tharp: The figures wre pub-
lished in Sunday's edition Later
Sunday the ministers said they
canvassed their congregations to
determine how many church goers
had been asked to cast the straw
ballots
The ministers said only five per-
sons from about 1200 church
members said they had been ask-
ed to partienate
"We believe this poll tA ) lie i
biased and prejudiced on!" the
ministers
They signed a statement declar-
ing "this poll conducted ty the
Henryetta Daily Free Lance is un-
fair ard untrue a reihmtion on
th2 sohriely of our ministers busi-
nessmen and community"
Tharp said he tried to get an
accurate sample of Opinion from
all residents of Hem yetta and
entity
"I took my poll Saturday and
' these are the results" the editor
said
"I went t) a dry goods store
the police station police one man
I knew to be a preacher several
women farmers and tried to get
a cross section of the citiz?ns
"I have taken many polls and
Our Free Lance polls have in
levery instance indicated which
way an election was going al-
tlieugh our percentages have not
always been right"
Tharp said other ministers in
the city had told him "they cer-
tainly did net want it implied that
anything wps wrong with the poll
so far as the way it was taken"
Dr Sam Scantlan secretary of
the United Drys released the
IferTyetta's palers' statement in
Oklahoma City Gourley from the
governor's office issued a rejoind-
er: "Tharp is in complete c(introl
the editorial department and I
have cmsiderable more confidence
in his moral integrity and his
moral courage than I do in Dr
Scantlan and the ministers and I
know that the people in lienryetta
are in agreement with me

class in another Itenryetta church
voted overwhehningly in favor of

Is Shinn Evidence Here
A trend toward repeal of prohibition is still evident in the

However the trend was not as strong as during a previous
straw poll conducted here
The survey also indicated a trend toward private liquor
stores in preference to state-owned stores in the event

And the majority of those "voting" do not want 1 oc a I

Second they were asked
whether in the event repeal be-
comes a reality in Oklahoma they
prefer state-owned liquor stores or
private owned stores
Third the persons interviewed
were asked whether they mild
prefer a local option plan — which
probably would embrace county
ertion — or whether they were
against an option plan of any kind
Of these interviewed 30 voted
for the repeal of prohibition Seven-
teen voted against it and seven
were undecided
Twenty-two voted for private
liquor stores while 15 said they
wtuld prefer state-owned stores
Seventeen did not vote on this
question and were placed in the
"undecided" category
Twenty-three voted against a
county or local option plan while
lf) favored an option plan In this
Instance 21 persons were undecid-
ed Of the 54 voting more than half
were women Many of the voters
asked whether repeal meant "a
vote for the wet side" A number of
those interviewed confessed they
were confused about the merits or
lack of merits of state-owned liquor
stores or local option
One woman voterlold a reporter
"I'm not a wet by any means But
the way things are now you can
buy whisky anywhere and still thi
state isn't getting any money
may not even vote on the matter if
there is an election because I'll
lose either way If prohibition
stays we'll have bootleggers If
prohibition is repealed we'll have
Legal whisky I don't like either
one"
Another woman voter told a re
porter "I ha v : teen-aged daugh-

now but I eertaidly hate to see a
let of whisky stores set up I'll vote
dry all the way
A few persons did not care to
vote do my voting at the
poll" three rersons said
One man said he did not uncho--
stdnd the questions on the ballot
but told the reporter he would
mark his slip "wet all the way"
One woman said she would like
to vote later "after I've talked :t
