AL JENNINGS CAUSES
PUZZLE IN OKLAHOMA
Tulsa, Oklu., July 20. The puzzle in
Oklahoma politics is Al Jennings, ex-train
jobber, who is seeking the Democratic nomi
nation for governor. Prominent newspapers
throughout the slate are belittling Jennings’
canon lacy. as rival candidates declare he is
being aided and abetted by Republicans,
who believe by “putting him over" at the
August primary the Republican success at
i he general election will be assured. The
religious element, which says it would be
“just too awful for anything’’ to nominate
a one-time outlaw for the highest office in
the state, is holding its breath in fear this
will happen.
The fact remains, according to the best
posted men on politics in Oklahoma, that
Al Jennings is leading in the race, and is
daily gaining strength, while his opponents
are cither barely h< lding their own or are
losing. Whereas, rival candidates are speak
ing to mere handfuls of people. Jennjngs, by
the mere announcement of his coming, is
day after day speaking to enormous crowds
A few nights ago he broke the record
in Tulsa for big political meetings, address
ing an open-air gathering estimated at 5.000
persons. Two nights later he spoke to a
crowd at Muskogee that blockaded two of
the principal streets, necessitating calling
cut the police reserves in on ler to make
an opening for traffic. It is just such
crowds as this that face the “bandit” can
didate night after night.
“Elect me your governor, and watch the
exodus of political crooks across Red river i
the minute 1 get into office,” Jennings is
telling the people. “I expect to use the
parole system in the state penitentiary :
! irerly, ; r many a good man goes into
• prison, but. s> help me God, for every man
| 1 let out on j' uole I will fill his ; lace with
I a er Ked politician. The great trouble with
! Oklahoma is too many thieves in high
I places.’’
Although Tennings holds letters from
| Governor \\ t-t of Oregon. Governor Hunt
! of Ari zona noted peoj le in the c
; indorsing hi* candidacy and wishing him
1 success, and he can tell a “sob" story" that
: never fail' P» w:n, he is not springing any
| "f this. He is telling what he declares to
: be the truth about political conditions in
; Oklahoma and of certain forces that are
; seeking to down him.
“1 admit the crimes for which I have
done my bit. and now am trying to come
' back and show ihe world at large just what j
: an official .s worth who honestly tries to do i
1 his duty." he told his Tulsa audience, j
! “There are them ends in the state occupying
| places of p ;\vr and distinction who are
■ criminals, and if they had their desserts
j would he shi in of authority and cast into
prison ior the good of the commonwealth, j
Fleet me governor and watch me get these
men. I know them and their methods, and
they know it. This is cne reason why my
| campaign has been attacked so bitterly from
! many different angles."
It makes no difference to A1 if one of the
; objects of attack happens to be in his
| crowd. The chances are he will single him
! out by name. Although barely five feet j
tall. Jennings will boldly proclaim a giant !
a thief if that is what he believes him to i
be, and if he ha; eiis to be present will dare j
the object, of his attack to come back at \
him in any manner he chooses.
