POLITICS ARE WARMING UP
(Continued from rage One.)
Missouri democrats has been well un­
der way to back former Governor
Gardner for president, but it is meet­
ing with opposition by a faction In
his party headed by Senator "Jim"
Reed.
Read's opposition to Gardner has
throwu
the
proverbial monkey
wrench into the well-oiled harmony
machine which the democratic state
committee had mapped out at a re­
cent meeting in St. Louis.
Kansas republicans are anxious to
get the state back into the republi­
can column and will start ILelr cam­
paign by launching a "boomerang"
against the democratic party on an
Issue the latter brought up during
the administration of former Gover­
nor Henry J Allen.
The democrats charged Alien had
refused to live I# the state's execu­
tive mansion; that he had the legis­
lature appropriate money for the
rental of another home and then
turned the mansion over to his pri­
vate secretary, rent free, and with a
state allowance of $1,500 a year for
upkeep, heat, water and light.
Governor Davis has permitted his
private secretary's family to share
the mansion with the governor's
family, and the republican» are
charging tho state is providing the
same thing for whkh they were ridi­
culed during the AlletF administra­
tion.
The republicans are said
gathering their data for a hot cam
palgn and will use the 'boomerang'
as a chief issue.
Oklahoma
is
torn politically
through the turbulence it has under­
gone in the last several months and
during which ex-Govcrnor J. C. Wal­
ton. central figure of the strife, was
deposed as chief executive of the
state.
The issue there will be fought be-
tween forces of the Rian and the
antl-Klan. The attention of politi­
cians there will be directed on mat­
ters within the state, where the Klan
Issue and candidates from three par­
ties are certain to offer sufficient
campaign material to receive atten­
tion.
Former Governor Walton has an­
nounced he will enter the race for
the seat in the 1'nlted States senate
now occupied by Senator Robert L.
Owen, who gained fame as the father
of th« Federal Reserve Bank system.
Owen will seek the seat again, and
among others who are known to be
aspirants for the office are C. J.
Wrightsman, millionaire oilman, of
Tulsa, and 8. Prince Freeling. for­
mer attorney general of Oklahoma.
Besides the democratic and repub­
lican candidates, tho people of Okla­
homa will have a full ticket offered
by a third party, according to an an­
nouncement by J. Luther Langston,
manager of the farmer-labor recon­
struction league.
