OKLAHOMANS FIND BOUNTY ON BANDITS BRINGS NO RESULTS (Dy Associated Presa) OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 11.— The Oklahoma Bankers associa- tion has an offer of $300 each for dead bank robbers—killed un- der certain conditions—but state operatives say the reward has brought no noticeable results, The reward is paid only if the | robber is killed in the act of rob- |bing a bank or in attempting es- * cape. After several years, the offer of a state reward of $250 for bank robbers, dead or alive, was withdrawn when the _ legislature declined to make appropriations for the purpose two years ‘ago. The withdrawal was described as. an economy move. The number of bank robberies in Oklahoma has. decreased sharp- ly during the past year. { To My Fellow Citizens: iples set forth in my written platform neously misrepresented and for fear that 1 may be e public that I have never said, nor Il positively accomplish the things Practically all the propositions contained in my platform have at some time or other been enjoyed b: is mo good rea: my opinion, I have never taken but on the contrary, I beli: of accomplishment. e that 1 want the good people of Ke ill work and w: y the people of Key West and there why they cannot be restored again. attitude that this and that cannot be done, all things within reason are possible y West to believe that | am sincere ork unceasingly and honestly to ac- my platform.
