Jack Walton’s ship of political hope, torn apart on the reef of gubernatorial ouster and dry-docked in senatorial seas, set out today for an old port of calm, the Oklahoma City mayoralty. ‘With fiery accusation, as of old, Ok- lakoma's first ousted Governor became number one in the field. Walter Dean, prezent mayor, has not said whether he will run again next Spring. s _ Thirteen years ago it was Mayor J. C. Walton. That was before Jack became “His Excellency the Governor” in 1923. Impeachment and ouster followed in the Fall of the same year, after amaz- ing days of martial law because of Ku Klux Klan disturbances and other hair- raising happenings that have gone to make up the State's stormy political history.

After one attempt to convene had | been frustrated, the Oklahoma Legis- lature met on October 23, 1923, and figuratively “threw the book” at its Klan-fighting Governior, returning 22 charges of impeachment. The next month the Senate court of impeach- ment ousted Walton on half the charges. They included levying of martial law ‘when a State of rebellion didn't exist, diverting funds, preventing assembling of a grand jury, unwarranted issuance of pardons and paroles, employing friends in positions not authorized by law, general incompetency and other accusations. f ER S SAVANT BLAMES U.
