I ASSOCIATEtI I PRESS > DISPATCHES VOLUME XXIII Governor Walton Issues Ultimatum to Opponents The Mailed Fist Wjjl Be Stamped Upon Whosover . Opposes Governor in His Present War on Floggings. martialTaw(S ANSWER TO FOES Will Place Members of Leg islature in Jail if They Con vene in Extra Sessions Now to Consider His Acts. Oklahoma City, Sept. 15 (By the As sociated Press). —The mailed fist will be stamped uixju whomsoever opposes Gov. J. O. Walton in his war on Hoggings. As suming all the power of the military dietator, the Executive made it more plain today that mnrtial law will be the answer to any opposition to his will. Members of the state legislature if they attempt to convene themselves in extraordinary session to consider the Governor's acts, will go to jail. State newspapers that raise their voic es against the Governor will be muzzled by a censorship. Counties declared by the Governor to be hostile to liis actions will be occupied by troops. This is the plan of a campaign outlin ed by the Governor and lie promised to day that he spoke no idle threat. Should members of the Legislature come to Oklahoma City without his call and attempt to meet in special session, Walton declared he will consider such actirfli directly in interference to his efforts to return the government “to the hands of properly constituted authority and to secure equal justice for all our citizens." “If they come here and try such an unlawful thing. I'll put them there as long as I am in office, - ’ he warned. Cer tain of the lawmakers were reported yes terday to be contemplating an attempt to hold such a session. No Legislature in Oklahoma has ever met without a call from the governor, the constitution pro viding for this procedure. Those said to have been planning a session without the governor's consent were understood to have taken the position that, there was a warrant for such a course, because the constitution does not expressly forbid. With the time limit drawing near for the execution of the governor’s threat to clamp down iron handed military rule in Tulsa county, no effort is being made to meet the demands of the ultimatum calling for the resignation of five Tttlsa county officials alleged fey. Walton t« be under domination of the.-K-n- Kltw Klan. It was intimated that unless the of ficials retired voluntarily, ouster proceed ings would be instituted on the basis of evidence already gathered by the military court sitting in Tulsa. The publishers of The Tulsa Tribune are preparing to go into Federal Court 'to thest the right of the governor to es tablish censorship on the paper, and the managing editor of Tulsa Phoenix has announced the publishers of his publica tion would join in uskiug for an injunc tion. Governor Walton would not discuss what steps he planned at Muskogee where W. R. Sampson refused tt obey the executive's ultimatum to resign as Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. i In well-informed, circles it is predicted mnrtial law soon will be declared in both Muskogee and Oklahoma City.

BUM WILL' STIUUTf INTEREST •rLmfflillSCOlM W. A. Overcash Expresses Delight With County Fair, and Thinks It Will Mean Much to Agriculture. SPECIAL EDITION ALSO DELIGHTS Mr. Overcash Thinks Public ity Given in Fair and Indus trial Edition Will Be Great Advantage to the County. That the average man and woman in Cabarrus county hardly appreciates the wonderful agricultural resources of the county is the opinion of W. A. Over cash. past president of the Retail Mer chants Association, and proprietor of the furnishing store that bears his name, in commenting on the special edition which The Tribune and Times is now working on for publication October 9th. "I was delighted that a fair associa tion was formed." he said, "because noth-, ing will stimulate the farmers more than a fine display of the products of our soil. We are all going to get our eyes opened October ltitli to 20th in connection with what Cabarrus county can produce. While we all know in a general way that we have a fine farming county, it will take the fair to collect together the exhibits which will drive home on the minds of all beholders, that Cabarrus is in a class by itself when it comes to variety and extent of agricultural wealth. Our cotton, our corn, our wheat and our grain will stand comparison with any county in the state. Our soil is excel lent for fruit and vegetables, and a begin ning is being made in these two lines of husbandry. The fair will go far to en courage more farmers to diversify their efforts. Livestock will thrive in Cabar rus. It is among the safest and most certain enterprises the farmer cars take up, because livestock is growing into money regardless of weather conditions, and there is a steady market the year round for butter, milk and cream. The fair I am sure will prove a great stimu lus to livestock. * "Rut a fair, unless it is advertised and well attended will not help. The decis ion of The Tribune and Times to publish a special 'edition devoted to boosting the fair and rgeofiliug the agricultural and commercial growth of Cabarrus, is most, timely and happy. It is just what is needed to properly complete and round out tiie plans of the Fair Association. The association has provided the way for greater agricultural development through the inspiration and education furnished by exhibits. Now The Tribune and The Times is going to make sure that the work of the Fair Association is made 100 per cent, effective. 1 think the 1 spe cial edition just prior to the Fair will guarantee a tremendous attendance and will make fair week October 10th to 20th one of the most important weeks in the history of Cabarrus county. I am glad to learn that the special edition is being heartily supported by all classes of busi ness men. That is what 1 would ex|>ect from the people of Concord.” BANDITS MAKE RICH HAI L, IN CLEVELAND Got SSOO in Cash and Jewelry Said to Be Worth at Least 20,000.
