WALTON ADDRESSES LARGE
CROWD
One of the largest political gather-
ings seen here in years heard Jack
Walton and John A. Whitehurst, Wed-
nesday afternoon. Mr. Whitehurst
j spoke first, after an introduction by
Elmer V. Jessee, and stated that this
was u smaller crowd than had been
usual at the Walton meetings, and
that they had been speaking to acres
of people wherever they had gone. He
said these times reminded him of the
story in the Old Testament when the
Israelites prayed for a change and got
Saul the oppressor ,and the people
two years ago voted for a change and
got Harding hard times. They ha<
been enjoying prosperity and want >d
a change that would give them still
better times, but the change had been
such a sore disappointment that they
would likely walk barefooted to" the
polls two years from now to vote for
another change back to good old Dem-
ocratic prosperity and a Democrat
President.
ltev. Willmoore Kendall then intro-
duced J. C. Walton the Democrat Can-
didate for Governor, stating that lie
had investigated Mr. Walton's public
and private record and found him in
all things worthy of trust and honor.
Mr. Walton began by saying that
his father was born in North Carolina
his mother born in Indiana, where lie
also had his birth. That he was a
member of the Masons, the Odd Fel-
! lows and the Christian Church. He
stated that lie was not educating his
j children in a Catholic Church ana he
said he could then and. there lick the
fellow or any dirty liar who said he
took his Masonic pin off and stamped
it. He regretted the fact that some
were trying to bring the church and
lodge into politics, saying he was in
favor of keeping thses things out of
politics.
In referring that some criticism had
i been made because of some invesi-
, ments he has made, Mr. Walton stat-
| ed he had been successful before going
i into office, in his vocation as a con-
sulting electrical engineer, and that
' reference to his Dun & Bradstreet
1 rating before he became an officer
; wuuld prove his statements.
! He declared that good old time Jef-
j fersonian Democracy is good enough
^ for him, but that both old parties have
i departed too far from Jefferson, and
i the Shawnee platform is nothing more
I nor less than pure undefiled Jefferson-
: ian Democracy. He than shouted. "I
! am going to stick to the Shawnee plat-
! form until the last regardless of con-
| sequences" and was cheered by the
| audience.
He declared that the Shawnee plat-
form was much similar to the Fann-
ers platform of 1906, 16 years ago,
upon which the Oklahoma constitution
| was builded ,and upon which the Dem-
! ocrats mndc their campaign that year.
In that platform was a demand for
the Initiative and Referendum, beside
which the Shawnee platform would be
considered conservative. Also that tt°
provisions of the Shawnee Platform
with two exceptions are made possi-
ble by the constitution, which provides
that the state may engage in any bus-
, iness except agriculture.
Referring to the first clause of the
j Shawnee platform which declared the
! bank guarantee fund has been looted
I he said the fellow behind the counter
who looted a bank was worse than
the yeggman who robbed from the o>it
side.
He referred to the Oklahoma Gas
Company that he claims values its
property at twenty million dollars for
l rate purposes and only five million for
tax puiposes, and cited it as one ex-
ample that makes necessary the
squeezing of water from stock of pub-
lic service corporations. Referring to
John Fields statement that the Wal-
ton home ownership plan would wreck
the state he declared that tax dodging
corporations might be made to pay
enough more taxes to provide enough
money to create a very large fund to
loan farmers buying homes. He quot-
ed Fields as saying nobody was sup-
porting Walton but hi-jackers and re
ferred to Fields advertisement in his
farm paper in 1914, wherein he de-
clared that the state should enact such
a plan of real rural service us would
enable every farmer to own his own
home of from 20 to 40 acres.
He stated he was not an enemy of
the banks but might as well be fo.r
good cause as not more than 50 out of
2500 banks of Oklahoma supported
him in the primary. Also that he was
the sworn enemy of the bunks known
as 200 per centers, certain banks that
had robbed customers with very higii
rates of interest. He stated that cer-
tain very large National Ranks locat-
ed not far from Oklahoma City had ,
always dominated state deposits and
when he was governor he would break
their influence and stop this favorit-1
ism.
He declared John Eilds is a bank-
er, being a large stockholder in Dati |
Hogan's bank in Oklahoma City.
He brought forth considerable
laughter in describing Fields farmer
clothes used for campaign purposes
and suid that 'slick dressed English
dude could be seen most any time fol-
lowing his goatee down the street"
and that he wns one of the finest dres-
sers to be seen anywhere. He said SCHOOL NOTES

more than twenty states have passed
\ similar bonus laws and he is going to
stand for it to the end. That it would
put money in circulation now when it
is needed and most all that money
would be spent right here at home.
He believes the State Home for drug
and liquor uddicts would be a good
thing to rid families of a troublesome
burden oftentimes and that it would
cause a lot of rum heads to cut out
their meanness in this respect.
can't the others fall in line ?
Farents are urged to see that their
children attend school regularly and on
time. Nothing is so destructive of good
school work as irregular attendance.
The child who is allowed to miss soon
loses interest and wants to drop out
of school.
