Governor Walton, who lays the “state of insurrection” in Oklahoma upon the Ku Klux Klan has fought the klan bitterly from al- most the inception of his adminis- tration. “There can be but one govern- ment in Oklahoma—that 1s the reg- ularly constituted, visible govern- ment established by the constitu- tion,” he has constamtly asserted. ‘The executive's first stand against the kiqn was taken when scores of floggings of men and women were reported throughout the state, with locad authorities apparently taking no steps to end the outrage, and in many} instances plainly cooperating with the mauraders. At the last session of the legisia- ture dhe governor obtained a large appropriation with which he estab- lished a state detective department to investigate the “reign of terror.” Following a quiet investigation, the governor's office announced that more than 2,000 floggings had oc- curred within the two years and if there were any more he would give the local authorities a chance to prosecute but if they failed he would assume control, Floggings occurred in Okmulgee ahmost inomediately after and after an ultimatum the local officials failed to gyt action, troaps were sent to the county. The governor on obtaining puarantees there would be no further floggings, withdrew the troops. A month ago, despite warnings, floggings took place in Tulsa county. A woman was kidnaped and brutally treated by a mob. Troops moved into the city and have enforced the strictest military rule, A rigid court inquiry was estab- lished to get the basic facts and the “higher ups“ in the whippings. Although the Ku Klux Klan de- nied any knowledge of the whippings and has yet refused to take any re- sponsibiltty for the situation in the county, several men who admitted membershfp in the klan, confessed to participation in “whipping parties,” Each was sentenced to two yeara im- prigonment. ‘The governor then demanded that officials who he said ruled the coun- ty and who he declared were dom- inated by the Klan, resign, They refused. Walton said that if it was neces- sary to extend martial law to an- other community he would place the entire state under military rule. Acts of “insurrection” in the opin- fon of the governor were committed at Muskogee and carrying out his threat, be placed.that city and Creek county under absolute martial law tonight extending the guardsmen rule in modified form to the remain- der of the state, CENSORSHIP OF NEWSPAPERS LIFTED TULSA, Okin.,. Sept. 15.—Censor- ship of the Tulsa Tribune started yesterday by military forces, enfore- ing martial law here was lifted to- night by orders received by Adju- tant General Baird H. Markham from Governor J, C. Walton. Major Turner Roy Rorark was withdrawn from the Tribune office and editors informed they might print whatever they wished. No explanation of the lifting of the censorship was made public. 8,800 NATIONAL, GUARDSMEN GATHER. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okis., Sept. 15,—(United Press.) — Thirty-three hundred Oklahoma national guards- men began gathering in their ar mories at this hour to carry out the edict of martial law for the state, issued by Governor J. ©, Walton.

TULSA COMPANY Auto Thief Fails But Causes Owner “Peck” of Trouble A car thief with push and per- severence was one who attempted to steal the Oldsmobile of Charles B. Stafford, secretary of the Casper Chamber of Commerce, whfle Mr. Staffere was taking in the state fair at Douglas Friday . When the secretary came back to his car where he had parked it he found that it had been tampered with and that although the would-be thief had been unable to get the en- sine started he tried to push the machine out of {ts place, Mr. Staf- ford had to have the Oldsmobile pulled to a garage in order to have it repaired. eee SPEED DEMONS TO CLASH HERE Continued From Page One. per for several days and is on his toes and “rarin' to go.” No pits have been provided at the track and should a machine blow a tire or confront the proverbial en- gine trouble, it will be forced out of the race through lack of mechanics and tire men. This, however, will only serve to heighten the excite- ment and will remove all certainty as to a winner. At the unusually low figure named by the committees as general admis- sion price, there {s no reason why every thrill lover in Casper should not be in the stands at 2:00 o'clock. The general admission to grounds and grandstand is $1.10. An extra $1.10 will provide a fan with a box seat and an opportunity to view the racers at close quarters. No park- ing fee for automobiles will be charged which will be an innovation to those motorists who frequent rodeo grounds presentations. ‘This afternoon's program speaks for itself in terms of real excitement and entertainment. Here it is: Three mile auto race—Purse, $100. Five mile motorcycle side-car— Purse, $100, Five mile auto race—Purse, $150. Ten mile motorcycle solo—Purse, $150. Five mile auto race—Purse, $150. ‘Two mile novelty side-car race— Purse, $50. One auto relic race (explanation below)—Purse, $25. Fifteen mile free for all—Purse, $400; trophy, $200 cup. ‘The two mile novelty race should prove a veritable riot with the fans. Entries are required to. swing around the half mile track af break- neck speed, while the unlucky assist. ant in the motorcycle side-car en- deavors to consume numerous hot- dogs, hamburgers, bottles of soda water, and salted wafers. Can the hungry one remain in the side-car? Be there and find out, In the relic race, no car valued at more than $75 is allowed to enter.

Mr, Wilkerson, of the Wyoming Automotive Supply company, Mr. Jones, of the Automotive Supply company, and Mr. Kaylor, of the Casper Supply company, have had the honor of judges placed upon them, and with them will rest the results of the races. ——__— There were a few long faces in ted the squadron to disaster in the fog. mainder of the boat lies out of the picture to the gr irae death prison for 19 men when It t are aground further out.

The nineteenth annual state fair went over the top with colors fly- ing, the small appropriation not- withstanding. Everything consid- ered it was among the best ever held. Further, somewhat less than half of funds available were used thereby insuring a creditable fair for 1924, “Wanaged by the state department of agriculture, directed by an able secretary and carried out by the county agents working together as one turned the trick to the credit of all. Further demonstration of the wisdom of conducting the fairs along these Mnes seem unnecessary. Eleven counties were represented —a greater area of the state than ever before. Converse, Niobrara, Ctook, Sheridan, Big Horn, Fre- mont, Goshen, Uinta, Laramie, Al- bany (by the University of Wyo- ae and Natrona comprised the ist.

The following counties and indi- viduals were awarded prizes as fol- lows: Big Horn county—First on largest and most commercially tmportant county display, and first on display of vegetables from one grower. Fremont county—First on most artistic general display and second on commercially important display. Up to the time the writer was obliged to leave the grounds third end fourth place for honors in the commercial important display was in doubt with Converse slightly in the lead of Natrona county.
