EDITOR HITS CENSORSHIP BY RICHARD LLOYD JONES Editor and Publisher Tulsa Tribune Written for United Press TULSA, Okla., Sept. 15—Governor Walton's attempt to suppress the freedom of the press in the United States by ordering military censor ship of the Tulsa Tribune Is the cli-} matic act in a process of personal despotism seldom equalled in Amert- can history. He already had attempted to nullt- fy the constitution of Oklahoma by ordering a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus under martial law,| altho that is expressly forbidden in the state constitution. ‘The Tribune will defend its consti- tutional privileges and the freedom of the press in the courts of the land, but, meanwhile, we shall comply ‘with the rules of the military censor. ‘The true story of Tulsa has not Deen told and it never will be told So long as Governor Walton con- tinues on his tyrannical course. Unless the rights which have been sacred in America since the days of 1776 are now to be trampled upon, ‘we may rightly expect to gain legal sanction to publish all the news about conditions in Oklahoma with- out fear or favor. 5 Governor Walton has the power and duty to suppress mob law and to see that men guilty of mob vio- lence are brought to justice. The ‘Tribune will continue to support him earnestly in every lawful move to bring about that end, but this news- paper cannot stand by in silence while even ths governor of a com- monwealth attempts to deprive American citizens of thelr constituy tional privileges and to suppress a free American press.
