OKLAHOMA CITY.—With both houses of the. legislature adjourned until Monday afternoon, com mittees speeded up Saturday to wind up various phases of the Walton administration probe. j Belief that the first draft of the findings of thej committees would be laid before the house Monday; afternoon was general at the capitoi. W. E. Dinsey, : house committee leader, declared there remained con siderable work but that it would be handled rapidly. State prosecution of public officials and private citizens who interfered or attempted to halt the bal loting at the special election, October 2, was ordered by the legislature. By a vote of 88 to 2 the house in structed George Short, attorney general, to institute proceedings against any who may have attempted to prevent the election. Interest is at fever heat throughout the state as .1he fight between the Klan and Governor Walton has found local interest in practically every com munity. It would seem that the legislature has the upper hand at present, though there are some who believe that the governor has not played his trump card since he so suddenly became willing for the legisla ture to meet when he knew that it was almost cer tain that a bill of impeachment would be brought against him.
