    Walton Gets
Injunction on
Election Vote
( Beaten 4 to 1 at Polls, Obtains
Order Preventing Election
Board From Certify
ing Returns.
Bf Associated Press.
Oklahoma City, Oct. 3.»-A tempo
rary restraining order preventing the
state election board from certifying
the returns from yesterday's special
election was issued in state dlstict
court here today upon application of
counsel for Governor J. C. Walton.
The order was granted after the
executive's petition was filed before
Judge Tom' G. Chamber, jr. It en
joins W, C. McAlister, secretary;
John P. Logan, •'deposed" chairman;
3ra Mitchell, newly appointed chair
man, and Claude Baker, member,
from certifying the returns of “the
pretended election” to the secretary
of state. The action was brought by
Mr. Walton as governor. .
The state capitol was again under
guard of state troops today. Frank
Carter, chairman of the state corpora
tion commission, declared it was hia
understanding that the guards were
under orders to prevent certification
to the state election board of returns
from yesterday's state election. No
explanation of the guards’ reappear
ance could be obtained from the ad
jutant general's office.
Later Acting Adjutant General C.
T. Barrett declared that the guards
had merely been transferred to the
capitol from the local armory as a
precautionary measure.
By Associated Press.
Oklahoma City, Okl., Oct. 3.—Oppo
nents of Governor J. C. Walton scor
ed a sweeping victory yesterday in
the most spectacular election ever
held in Oklahoma.
a* By a decisive majority constitu
~ tlonal amendment was passed empow
ering the state legislature to meet
en it* own call to consider Impeach
ment charges against the governor.
Despite the executive’s proclama
tlon postponing the election and his
threat to block it by armed force,
oposltlon was negligible and the bal
loting proceeded peaceably except for
minor Instances, throughout the
■tats.
Complete returns from 1,393 out of
1,837 precincts in the state, as tabula
ted by four* Oklahoma newspapers,
showed the count for the legisla
tive proposal: For, 147,269; against,
•7,404.
Tank Bonus Defeated.
The overwhelming success of the
measure, however. Is believed to have
been responsible in part for the" de
feat of five other constitutional
amendments. Including a soldier's
bonus.
In only three counties, according to
reports, was the election wholly pre
vented. These were Cimarron and
Harder, where the nonarrival of sup
plies made balloting Impossible, and
Delqpare, where the civil authorities
barred the election In compliance with
Governor Walton’s orders.
The sheriff's seizure of supplies In
^MBryan county did not interfere with
the voting there. Red by Federal
Judge R. R. Williams, former gov
ernor of Oklahoma, citizens set up
Improvised election machinery by
using makeshift ballots and depositing
-them in “home made" receptacles.
Many citizens of Johnson county
mailed their votes to state election
board headquarters when election of
ficials there refused to open the polls.
m Election Peaceful.
, In all other counties the election
proceeded smoothly under the watch
ful eyes of hundreds of special depu
ties commissioned to protect the
,'voters.
There was no instance of interfer
ence by members of the governor's
state police force. Two, however, were
arrested at Tulsa, charged with carry
ing concealed weapons.
The military forces did not appear.
Replying to the statement <>f Rep
resentative AV. D. McBee that his
despotic administration ''no longer
can be representative of a small part
of the people because such an over
whelming majority repudiated It in
the election. Governor Walton de
clared last night:
"I a in still governor of the state.
The fight on the Invisible empire has
Just started in Oklahoma."
To Go to Court.
The legislative amendment t" '
constitution under tlie law becomes
effective as soon as returns from the
ejection are certified to the secretary
state by the state election board.
This usually requires at least a week.
AVhlle ths future Intentions of the
governor have not been made known
It Is considered probable that he will
seek through the courts to bar an
immediate assembly of the legisla
ture under provisions of the amend
ment and thereby i»at the validity of
4he election. ,
