Oklahoma, state of many Indians,* spent last fortnight in a mist of political metaphysics. Four members of the Legislature accused Governor Henry S. Johnston of not being Governor. They said his secretary, small, attractive, dark-haired, formidable Mrs. O. O. Hammonds, was "Governor in fact." They asked Governor Johnston to call a special meeting of the Legislature to investigate himself (TIME, Dec. 5). How an alleged non-Governor could convene the Legislature, the legislators did not explain. Perhaps they thought Mr. Johnston would know because among his reputed misdemeanors was taking an interest in things psychic. But Mr. Johnston gave...
State Senators persuaded Governor Johnston to remove the guard from their chamber. He did so without recognizing the Senators' authority to set themselves up as a court of impeachment. To establish their authority the Senators asked various judges to preside over them. The judges refused but the Senators voted to try Governor Johnston anyway...
Having got into their chamber, the Senators invited the Representatives to come and meet there too. Governor Johnston blocked this move with his guardsmen. Back to the Huckins Hotel went the irate Representatives, to add "moral turpitude" to their list of Governor Johnston's crimes.

...Governor Johnston says he doesn't now what he would do without the little woman. The angry politicians, to whom she has refused admittance, reply that they know what they will do with her, and with him too. They mutter that woman's place is not in the home, at least not in that of the Governor. At any event, this struggle of the Praetorian Guards with the senate, despite allegations of the electorial use of intimidation in Chicago, does not signify that the day has come when the superior armed force determines the local government.
