Governor Upholds Treaty and League
Covenant; Takes Rap at Oppon-
ents of President In Big
Fight.
SAYS PROFITEERING IS
CHIEF TOPIC OF STATE
Profiteer Must Go; Is Un-American;
Explains Use of Pardoning Pow-
er; Supt. Wilson Addresses
Audience.
That tho ratification of tho treaty
and League of Nations covenant is
the only proper solution for" tho
problem of unrest and dissa'israetion
now facing the world was the belief!
expressed yesterday afternoon by.
Governor Robertson In his address at
the Grady County Free fair. A largo
crowd listened with intense Interest
to the governor's message.
Ho criticised tho altitude of tho
opponents of the league in congress
saying they were opposing tho rati-
fication of tho covenant for no other
reason than to secure a means by
which thoy could spring into the
limelight before the American peo-
ple. Tho features of tho league and
several of tho fourteen points "why
the covenant should bo ratified were
pointed out by tho state's chief ex-
ecutive. 'When the Leaguo of Nations is
ratified; when peace again prevails
and when the principles for which
the allied nations fought are preserv-
ed normal conditions will soon pre-
vail throughout the world" declared
Governor Robertson.
To Exterminate Profiteering.
Governor Robertson touched upon
the question of- profiteering In bis
address at the Free Fair yesterday
iiftornoon. He declared that every
state In the union is facing the com-
plex problem and up to date the
problem had not been solved.
It was pointed out by tho gover
nor that the state council of defense
and its branches in every county in
the commonwealth had been organ
ized to combat the wrong by making
investigations and by using pitiless
publicity. This has rendered some
relief he declared.
The governor said that lie had re
ceived numerous requests to call a
special session of the legislature for
the purpose of enacting laws which
would bring relief in tho matter of
profiteering. Among the organiza-
tions submitting such requests he
asserted was the state council of
defense.
I refused" he says "but assured
them if they would submit to me an
Instrument which if enacted into
iw would bring justice to the peo
ple I would call a special session
of the legislature for the purpose. I
have studied the problem for hours
and have yet been unablo to formu-
late a solution for the complicated
problem" he added. Ho expressed
his opinion however that the prof
iteering would be exterminated in
the near future.
Profiteers Un-American.
Profiteers are un-American ; they
are not good citizens declared Gov-
ernor Robertson who emphasized
that the high cost of living was the
undeniable cause of the labor unrest
and tho many strikes throughout the
country; that the condition would
exist as long as profiteering contin
ued and that at such time when the
crime is smotnerea out me unrest
and dissatisfaction of the American
people would fast disappear. .
Misuse of Pardoning Power.
Contradicting a statement made
by opponents 'of. the administration
who Governor Robertson :said were
working overtime nin tin attempt to
embarass andj harass the' adminis-
tration and the state's governmental
machine he stated that at no' time
had he misused the power to par
don and parole convicts from the
state's penal institution vsted in
him 33 governor of Oklahoma.
'Many of the reports relative to
my granting pardons anu paroles
are false'' said Governor Robertson.
I do not grant pardons and paroles
save in cases where I am convinced
that I am right and am justified in
doing so. An Investigation is made
of every application for a pardon or
