More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

These newspapers were typical of the press in the American West. Their editors were tireless boosters for their communities. They were constantly involved in personal journalistic battles with fellow news- mena These pioneer newspapermen established their papers as political organs, with hopes of winning the city and county printing contracts from the politicians in power. And the editors reflected their parti- sanship in the news columns and editorial pages. Gradually this stage of newspaper boosterism and political partisanship evolved into a one- man monopoly newspaper situation of unbiased news coverage relying on advertising for revenue. This process is evident in microcosm in towns within the Territory, and later the State of Oklahoma. In particular, this case study will show how this pattern worked in the town of Lawton, Oklahomae No important investigation ever has been made of daily newspaper operatio~s in Oklahoma, and little has been done on small town journalism anywhere.

  • Prohibition, Protests, and Politics the EDMONDSON ADMINISTRATION
    Chapter 23 Prohibition, Protests, and Politics THE EDMONDSON ADMINISTRATION. Tulsa attorney J. Howard Ed- mondson was inaugurated as governor in January, 1959. At 33, he was the state’s youngest governor in history. Edmondson’s “prairie fire” and “Big Red E” campaigns (both named for his red hair) brought him from behind to defeat Midwest City builder W.P. “Bill” Atkinson in the Democratic primary. He then de- feated Phil Ferguson in the general election by the largest majority ever given a gubernatorial candi- date in the state. Also in 1959, the youthful governor was named an honorary member of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. He was honored as one of the nation’s “Ten Most Outstanding Young Men.” Born in Muskogee in September, 1925, Ed- mondson obtained a law degree from the Uni- versity of Oklahoma. He served a stint in the Air Force and was a Tulsa County Attorney before becoming governor. One of Edmondson’s promises was that he would either enforce or repeal prohibition, and he did both. He promised upon taking office that “every Oklahoman who votes dry will drink dry.” He turned Attorney General Joe Cannon loose to enforce prohibition. Raids were made all across the state on bars and nightclubs which were ille- gally serving liquor. The state’s bootleggers became fair game for law enforcement officials who had previously overlooked their violations of the law. Governor J. Howard Perhaps for the first time since statehood, Oklahoma citizens knew Edmondson what it meant to be “dry.” People who were accustomed to having access to liquor despite prohibition and who consequently had never seriously considered the matter, found that true prohibition was more than a little inconvenient.
