“ 1 want to place lire issue of the
Ku Klux Klan licforc federal an
ihorilics, and an injunction action
eyainst me will be the roost direct
method of bringing this about,” lie
asserted.
Governor W'alton said that "the
Kit Klux Klan is hound to he an is
sue in the next national election.”
The executive's statement was in
reply to a declaration of members
of the house of representatives (hat
they would resort tn court action
if he rarried out his announced in
tention to bar the session.
He declined to comment on previ
ou- published statements by others

United Slates senate on an anli-klan
platform.
“I have no announcement to
nuke at this time,” lie said.
A'Ion J.t Luktd'
The governor said lie believed
" the klan was licked,” hut that he
was prepared to go on indefinitely
with hi* cant|aign against the or
1'Uiiiy.al ismi
He said ihnt if lack of fund* later
prevented the purchase of su|>p]ie*
fur troops on duty, he would com
mandeer what was necessary.
Militry courts in Oklahome City
and Tulsa were not in session, and
headquarters of llie guard officers
were <|uiet
A statement replying to critics
who have assailed him for suspend
ing the writ of habeas corpus and
" Mu<h has been said about the
suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus and there are those who de
clare that during the days of re
construction following the Civil
War the writ of habeas corpus was
never suspended.” The governor
said. " T tear the memory of some
people is failng. for there was
passed a law by the Congress and
approved April 20, 1871, which was
known a» the * Ku Klujt KUn law.'
This law was directed at the klan
and outlawed it in the United
States ”
Precedent for Hit Course
“ The federal government wt<
having to meet the very same condi
tion* that I have to meet,” said Gov
ernor Walton, " and met them jusi
as 1 have to meet them. ....
Now let the newspaper court head
ed by E. K. Gaylord (publisher ol
tlie Daily C)klahoman) pay its rc
.tuvMa tA tki> I UtitMl Inw
mode it a high crime for masked
and robed organizations to pass
nl*>ng highways.
" Under the above mentioned
sf.uetnent the whipping of an indi
i v. 'ual by a mob wax sufficient
t;rounds for declaring a state of re
iV dion and a susiK-nsion of the writ
r.f lwiltca* corpus.
The Daily Oklahoman and other
•~iklahotna newspapers have advo
iited appealing to the federal
courts. Under the statute I have
cist <|ttoled before one could sit
upon a jury in a federal court he
had to swear that he was not con
nected with any organization named
in the acts and that he had no
knowledge of any of their conspir
acies If it was proven that he per
jured himself in taking such olh,
he was subject to severe penalty
"I submit this so the people of the
State may know that 1 am not doing
anything that has not been done be
fore to protect the rights ami liber
ties of the jieoirle, and I have the
precedent of the greatest govern
ment on earth for my guide
Observers of the situation look

The session was called by mem

PRICE OF COTTON
STILL GOING UP
Advance During Th. WhL Al
At N«w Orleans Total
120 to 137 Points
New Orleans, Sept. 2J—New

week last vear middling sold at

Wet weather in the western licit
and increased talk of another short
crop as the result of damage over
wide area* were the main reasons
for the advance in prices. Texas
complained bitterly of the eflccl of
much rain on open cotton, and in
addition refxnted rotting bolls in
some sections a* well as seed sprout

plained of a delayed movement of
the crop and points in the central
and eastern section of the lielt told
of more or less damage, either from
insects or from Phi much rain.
Large sections of the eastern belt
claimed that weevils were taking
the entire top crop.

of law, he firadicled that she would
be the first Sampson girl to become
a lawyer, but a young lady up m
Kaleigh stole a march upon the ed
itor and wax already well upon her
way toward the goal of attorney
ship. This was Miss Lottie Lewis,
amxher Clmion art, who is now
not only a full-fledged attorney, bat
also the Treasurer of Wake county.
However. Mias Gladys is certwnly
the first young lady, not merely in
Sampson county, but in the whole
State, to win the doctorate of juris
prudenc* from a great university.
The law course at Ann Arbor is
a three-year one, but by studying
during the summer terms Miss
Wells has completed h to a bit over
two years.
The

was also__ _
the ground of merit, as one of the
Undent editor* of the Michigan

she achieved what had sever be

At graduation she received both
the degree* of Bachelor of Law*
and Doctor of Jurisprudence, being
among lew than a dnsen members
of a class of 125 to receive the doc

Cot possibly the clearest indica
