Oklahoma City, Sept. 7. The state of Oklahoma was threatened with martial law today by Gov. J. C. Wal ton coincident with a challenge thrown to him that he would never be able to "break the power of the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma." Charging that the drive being con ducted by the executive in Tulsa county against mob floggers was in spired by Walton's desire to make himself a "national figure," N. W. Jewett, grand dragon of the Okla homa realm of the klan, declared that the governor "would like, to drop the iron that has grown too hot for him to hold, if he could." "Jack Walton cares nothing for the men that have been whipped: his fight is only the klan," Jewett asserted. Voicing his unshaken determina tion "to restore the supremacy of the law in this state," the governor said: "I realize that the conflict with the lawless element and lawless spirit of large groups of Oklahoma's citizens is a desperate one; that my enemies will use every weapon at their com mand, including th press, where they can command it, grand juries and other agencies to defeat the purpose of this administration." In a bitter attack on the execu tive, Grand Dragon Jewett charged that "Jack Walton entered the kitch en of the klan, but he never got any farther and that is one of the princi pal causes of his fight on the klan." Jewett alleged that Walton had been "obligated" in the klan at the capi tal by Minor Merryweather, formerly a kleagle at Muskogee, adding "that is as far as he ever got." The Oklahoma City organization rejected the governor, Jewett charged. CHANCE TO OBSERVE ECLIPSE From Saturday's DaJly. Emil J. Weyrich, who has erected one of the finest telescopes that can be found in this part of the state, is to have the telescope placed on the sidewalk in front of the store on Monday afternoon from 1 to 3 o'clock so that all who desire can secure a view of the eclipse of the sun thru this very powerful instrument. This is the first opportunity of this kind that has been afforded the Platts mouth people and will be a very In teresting one for the public. ( : : WILL ATTEND COLLEGE From Saturdcy t)n.
