DEMOCRATS FEAR WALTON WOULD
WRECK OKLAHOMA'S PROSPERITY
Oklahoma City, October 5 — An or-
ganized movement was launched here
by "regular" democrats to bring about
the defeat of J. C. IWalton, on the de-
mocratic ticket for governor. Leaders
o< the anti-Walton democrats in Ok-
lahoma County, who are bitterly op-
posed to the reconstruction league and
socialist program which they say
Walton has adopted in lieu of the
state democratic platform, have per-
fected an organization under the name
of Constitutional Democartic Club and
announce that they will make an lu-
depdent campaign for his defeat in the
interest of both the parties and the
state. "The party is without a nomi-
nee," they declare.
The county organization contains
the name of life-long democrats,
many of whom have been Identified
with party work for many years in
Oklahoma county. At the meeting
which completed final organization,
Fred T. Miller, live stock raiser and
farmer, was chosen president, and U
E. Patterson, real estate owner, was
made secretary. These, with Robert L.
Feebly, farmer, Eugene Whlttlngton,
fire insurance, Ben F. Wilson, farm-
ers, C. F. Colcord and many others
were elected as the executive commit-
tee. Peebly is one of the most pro-
minent farmers and stock raisers of
Oklahoma county and was twice elec-
ted a member of the legislature, chair-
man of the democratic county com-
mittee and is prominent in the Farm-
ers' Union. Wilson was speaker of
the house in the second state legis-
lature. Patterson is head of the Tax
Payers' league of Oklahoma City.
Officers of the club announce that
they have arranged for temporal'
headquarters at the Skirvin Hotel and
will conduct a vigorous campaign in-
dependently of the Walton or Fields
headquarters for the preservation of
democratic principles. Walton is con-
demned by the organization for his
acceptance of the league platform.
President Miller expressed the belief
that the club will secure an enroll-
ment of two thousand democrats in
Oklahoma County within a week, and
said that lists for signatures were
ITS TOASTED
(A) A state convention of dele-
gates chosen from the various pre-
cincts and counties is the only au-
thorized medium through which to
formulate and adopt a platform ot
democratic principles.
(13) Such a state convention was
held in Oklahoma City August l'.th, '
1922, at which time the Resolutions
Committee considered carefully every
plank of the so-called Shawnee Plat-
from and rejected several of said
planks as being undemocratic aud soc-
ialistic.
(C) Upon demand of said candi-
date his supporters made a minority
report to said convention in which
they attempted to udd to the platform
adopted by the majority of the Resolu-
tions Committee all planks rejected
by such majority members.
(D) The issue was thus Drought
before the entire convention of duly
accredited democratic delegates and
by an overwhelming majority vote the
said undemocratic and soclalltsic

amble and declaration of principles
to which signatures .are solicited,
reads as follows:
We, the undersigned democrats of
Oklahoma County, believing in the
doctrines of constitutional government
as advocated by Thomas Jefferson
and Woodrow Wilson and realizing
that the radical socialists of our State
assisted by radicals from other states
are now making desperate effort to
carry out their long cherished and
well planned scheme to gain control
of our State Government, disregarding
its constitution and plunder its re-
sources and institutions as they have
done wherever they have been trusted
with power, leaving bankruptcy and
ruin in their wake, and that in fur-
therance of this scheme they have
temporarily aligned themselves with
the democratic party and by so doing
have named its nominee for governor,
and firmly believing that in this situa-
tion the democratic party as well as
the State of Oklahoma faces the most
serious crisis in its history and that
in such a situation our duty to our
homes and our State demands that we
follow the dictates of our consciences
and our best judgment rather than
the usurped banner of our party, do
hereby voluntarily associate ourselves
together for the good of our State and
our party and shall be known as
Constitutional Democratic Club of Ok-
lahoma County
and hereby make the following de-
claration of principles:
First: That no true democrat who
loves the honored tenets of his party
is justified in voting for the purported
democratic candidate for governor for
the reason that the democratic party
in the State of Oklahoma is without
a party nominee for governor
shown by the following indisputable
facts:

Chapters, which, It Is estimated, will

Third. We are firmly convinced
that the socialistic provisions of the
Shawnee Platform (such as the estalb-
ment of a state-owned Bank, mills and
elevators) are impractical, and if ac-
tually established and put into opera-
tion, will not only result in the ser-
ious impairment of tlie credit of the
State but will also place tremndous

It was stated today at headquarters
of the club that a number of organi
zations with similar purposes have
been reported from practically every
county in the state, but that there
has been no concerted action toward
a statewide organization. It is the be-
lief, however, of those in charge of
the pklahoma county iclub that a
spontaneous sentiment among dem-
ocrats opposing Walton will quickly
unite. That the campaign will be
made primarily against the capture
of the democratic party by "social
ists and adventurers from this and
other states," was the statement which
comes from headquarters. "The dem-
ary schemes in another state benefited ; ocratic party must remain democrat-

THElRHFOiRE, We the following
Constitutional Democrats of Oklahoma
City and County hereby signify our
intention of supporting every candi-
date who stands squarely on the plat-
form adopted by the State Democartic
Convention, August l'5th, 1922 and of
opposing the so-called democratic no-
minee for governor and the socialistic
Shawnee platform upon which he
stands, and we invite all true demo-
crats to join us in our effort to save
our State and our party from this
permit the party name to be stolen
and used as a decoy behind which
radicals are to masquerade it will take
years to recover it, and the effort will
be accompanied by difficulties not
now realized. The time to do it is
now. A candidate for office who re-
fuses to abide by the platform af the
party, and accepts, instead, a social
istic program written by radicals
without party authority, has
claims on the party. The democratic
party has no candidate for governor,
and no democrat is under party ob
ligation to support Mr. Walton."
Secretary Patterson stated that be
will be glad to receive communi
cations, addressed to either President
Miller or himself at Rooms 311 and
313, Skirvin Hotel, Oklahoma City.

For unsightly skin eruptions, rash or

you do not have to wait for relief from

Mentho-Sulphur and improvement

Because of its germ destroying prop-

take the place of this sulphur prepara-
tion. The moment you apply it heai-
ing begins. Only those who have had
unsightly skin troubles can know the
delight this Mentho-Sulphur brings.
Even fiery, itching cczema is dried right

Don't Stay Gray. Nobody can tell when you darken
gray, faded hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur
Grandmother kept her hair
beautifully darkened, glossy and
attractive with a brew of Sage
Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her
hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied, with won-
derful effect. By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage
_and Sulphur Compound," you
will get a large bottle of this old-
time recipe, improved by the ad-
dition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost.
This simple mixture can be de-
pended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown drug-
gist says everybody uses Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound
now because it darkens so natu-
rally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied—it's so
easy to use, too.. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through the hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morn-
ing the gray hair disappears;
after another application or two,
it is restored to its natural color,
and looks glossy, soft, and beau-
tiful.
