as the biennial Keshion of the legis

Insurgent leaders of an attempt

which was squelched by a supreme
court decision after Guv. Henry S.
Johnston had used troops to drive
senators and representatives from
ihdr chambers at the capito!, ,ie
clare they still are determined to
investigate several state depart
ments after the legislature con
venes January K.
Republican, although In the mi
nority In both houses, hold the keys
to the fate of the democratic ad
ministration. The nntl-ad ministra
tion leadership It within the demo
cratic parly, but the republicans
made marked gains In membership
at the November election, when
Oklahoma went Republican, na
tionally, for the second time in
history.
Out of 1 o-l members in the house.
7 are Republican, while 12 of the
44 senators are Republicans. So,
if any appreciable division appears
In the Democratic ranks, the mi
nority party will hold the balance
of power.
The situation presents n political
dilemma to tile Republicans. In 21
years of statehood, Oklahoma has
not elected a Republican governor.
Some Republican leaders believe
they could profit from further
Democratic dissension In lit So, but
ant -administration Democrats
threaten to charge them with re
sponsibility for continuation of the
present regime if they fall lo Join
tho forces opposing Governor
Johnston.
Impeachment charges were voted
against Governor Johnston, Fred
P. Pranson. chief justice of the
supreme court, and Harry It, Cor
don, president of the stale board of
agriculture, by a self-convened ma
jority of the house of representa
tives a year ago. The charges were
dismissed by member of the sen
a tit w h ich accept ed t ho u preme
court's decision that the house hail
no authority to call Itself together.
Pranson will retire from the su
preme court early In January, for
he was defeated by a Republican
In November. Johnston and Cor-'
dell were elected for four-year
terms in 1920.
Much of the cry against Gover
nor Johnston has been his refusal
to dismiss Mrs. O. O. Hammonds,
his confidential secretary, whom
administration critics accuse of
running state affairs with a high
hand.
The presidential campaign added
sonic fuc to the anti-administration
fire. Johnston was supported
in li'L'C by the Women's Christian
