"Alfalfa Bill” Of
Oklahoma Keeps
Ear On Politics
Homely Critic New Deal May
Have Aspirations for Sen
ate; Farms Without
Federal Aid
(By The Associated Press)
Broken Bow, Okla., Oct. 29,
—After years of turbulent
political warfare, William H.
(Alfalfa Bill) Murray, Okla
homa’s pyrotechnic ex-gov
ernor, has settled down here
for peace—and “the best time
of a life.”
Murray is proud of his 70
acre farm, purchased with
the money he saved from his
salary in his last two years
as governor.
He is proud of the crude
clapboard house which has
neither plumbing, lighting,
radio nor other modern com
forts.
‘Alfalfa Bill”, who once led
an unsuccessful attempt to es
tablish a colonization empire
in Bolivia, is “roughing it”
and liking it.
Drives ‘One-Mule Shay
He is proud of his three
horses and one huge mule.
Murray is an object of pride
and. amusement—particular
ly when he harnesses the one
mule to the shafts of his mid
get mail-order wagon and
drives through the village, his
long mustaches twirling as he
“cluks” the mule along.
But the pervading restless
ness which led Murray to de
clare martial law a score of
times in four years; which
had him warring right and
left upon scores of enemies,
has not left him.
Back to the farm Murray
went to get his “ear to the
ground.”
He still is intensely inter
ested in politics; dozens of pol
iticians see him or write him
every week. “Alfalfa Bill” is
keeping well-abreast of pub
lic affairs, both state and na
tional.
The fires of presidential am
bition fanned to a height dur
