I Washington—“ Coolidge has forgotten
j Oklahoma.” This was getting to be
] quite a slogan among “sooner state” Re*
publicans.
Job after job had* jorae up in Wash
ington to be filled, Hut no Oklahomans
were picked to fill any of them.
Again and again they thought they
had a dandy candidate. Time after time
it looked as if their man was sure to
WMI out.
Just as regularly, somebody else nosed
- in ahead of him at the last minute.
This went on until Oklahoma Repub
■lieanism began to show signs of eonsid-
J crable fraetiousness, which was alarm
ing, Oklahoma being a very doubtful state
politically, with a senator to elect next
year, not to mention eight congressmen.
• * *
But Coolidge hadn't forgotten. He
simply was awaiting for a duly qualified
Oklahoma candidate’s name to be sub
mitted to him for federal appoint
ment.
When, finally, such a candidate did
turn up, the president promptly named
him assistant attorney general in charge
of government land litigation. He's Bert
JL Parmertter.
The mysterious qualification? Oh. lie's
a native Vermonter. *

For all his New England origin and
accent, Parmenter’s a thorough Okla
homan now.
He landed on the site of Lawton 24
years ago. The site alone was there at
the time.
“The Kiowa. Commanclie and Apache
reservation." he explains, “had just beqn
opened to settlement. The government I
had cut the land into farms, to be drawn |
for.
In their midst the town of Lawton ,
had been decreed and staked out in city j
lots. They were auctioned off.”
“That Vown certainly was made to or- j

A man of the world laid slipped and
fallen on the icy sidewalk. A deacon of
the church came along and remarked
quite solemnly. “The wicked stundeth

der," Parmenter reminisced. “At the be
ginning of the week —virgin wilderness.
By mid-week—a thriving, little tentted i
city of about 8.000!”
I wasn’t quick enough to get a num
ber for the farm lottery, so there whs'
nothing for me to do but huy a town lot,
pitch my tent on it and settle down to
practice law.
“There was precious little of it for
the first few weeks—a little federal au- -J
thority, but not much, and no local or- i
ganizntion at all.”
“Shootings,” the new attorney gen- ,
eral continued, "were so common they
went uunotieed. A man was killed 3 tents
from mine one night and I didn't think
it-worth while to get lip. or find put next
day what the fight was about or who
the killer and his victims were.
“I never learned. Gambling was wide (
open. 'Let ’er roll! lad ‘er roll! •
Let ’er roll! NOW SHE ROLLS!' ’
came day and night from the big tent
where they ran the wheel.”
•** .
“It may have been only a coincidence,”
Parmenter observed, "but Lawton start
ed with just 150 lawyers and just 150
saloons.
“The saloons are neither here nor
there. But you can understand, with
so many lawyers, we had .to ~h£ve some i
law. So we organized a local govern- 1
I ment In a month or six weeks. j
‘ “We established order. We began
building wooden shacks in place of our j
tents. In six months the railroad built j
in.
“Then Oklahoma was admitted as a 1
state."

Parmenter is going to be popular with j
