During the royal visit to the farm, reporters were not allowed to follow King Paul into the house.

Fletcher Riley, a candidate for governor, was stopped by California police on the way to visit his estranged wife and relieved of a revolver and a rifle. Charley Huff, running for secretary of state, limited his plea for votes to the boast that he was "the best damn cowboy singer in the world." In Sequoyah County, E. W. Floyd, a brother of the late Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd, won the Democratic nomination for county sheriff.
