HOT AIR EWING'S
CACHINNATORY BUZZ
Regarded Vindication of Oil
Inspector as Issue
in Campaign .
Hot Air Amos Ewing of Kingfisher
i. In the city to personally coach. th
board of canvassors In their work pre-
sumably to seo that tho "unwritten
work" that followed so closely after
election day and through which Mc-
Gulre'B vote was largely swelled was
exemplified Into the thirty-third degreo.
Ewing was chairman of tho Kingfisher
county Republican central commltteo
and It may or may not be a maUor of
significance that whon it was found
that McGulre still needed several hun-
drod votos Kingfisher county's major-
ity for McGuIro suddenly Jumped from
GIG to 760
Ewing by th way puts forth a
peculiar sort of an argument that tho
recent oloctlon wa in tho nature of a
personal vindication. It will be re-
membered that undor he Barnuti ad-
ministration ho was permitted to wax
fat on the rich foes of the-oil Inspeo
tor's office. Two yoars ago John
Campbell was elected to represent
Blalno county In the lower house of
the legislature and Campbell's first aet
was to Introduco a hill to abolish the
offioe of oil Inspector. The bill failed
to pass of course. This yar Campbell
was a candidate for county attorney In
Blaine county and although the coun-
ty Is naturally) Ropubllean he was
snowed under by a heavy majority.
"Of course" said Ewing In relating
this particular olectlon Incident "Hie
reult Bhowed conclusively that the
people of Blalno county wore oager to
re-ent any atiack upon the Integrity
of the oil Inspector."
"By the way Kwlng" ntorjeotd ft
bystander "do ypu consider that Bill
'Grimes was serlouBJy Injured In that
reported scrimmage with a wild and
unterrlfted panther?"
"Not on your life lie wasn't evn
scratched" was the qulek reepoare.
