[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.10962]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Oklahomans will vote on repeal of prohibition ar special election April 7. The election was arrured Wednesday night when the house climaxed a tense 6 1/2 hour session by adopting the senate-passed repeal resolution without change and then voting 81 to 37 to call the special election. The resolution now goes to the secretary of states office. Signature of the governor is not required. The repeal resolution was adopted 63 to 55, with only 60 votes needed. Eighty votes were required to call the special election. Without the special election section, the question could not have been submitted until the next general election. Oklahoma, comstitutionally dry since statehood in 1907, has voted dry five times. This is the first time in history a legislature has submitted the question by referendum...The house handled the explosive issue with more than usual dignity, as a vast television looked on. Rep. Clint Livingston, speaker, did a beautiful job of maintaining order, relieving tensions and cooling tempers with a quick sense of humor."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Picture easy by George Tapscott, Daily Oklahoman photographer, dramatized the bleak scenes lighted by returning sunshine Saturday after a night of tornado terror in three Oklahoma communities. The twisters, roaring in with a wave of winter thunderstorms, smashed the entire Konawa business district, damaged a Stratford Main Street area and belted a mile-wide stretch of 30 Wewoka residential blocks. Damage at Konawa alone was estimated at $1.5 million, with more than 50 homes git as well as every business building...Although Konawa had the biggest mop-up job (35 state highway department workers used 15 pieces of heavy equipment until noon Saturday just to make streets passable) many other areas were cluttered with lesser debris. (photo tag: Gaping front of Watts Funeral Home shows vicious force of Konawa twister.)"

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Reports of a major compromise between dry forces and Gov. Edmondson threw the capitol in a lizzy shortly before the legislature convened Wednesday afternoon possibly to take the final action on putting repeal of prohibition to a vote of the people. But a spokesman for the governor denied any agreement had been made with dry forces. "We're standingpat on getting house approval of the repeal amendment just as the senate passed it," one of the governor's aides said. And house speaker Clint Livingston said a repeal vote Wednesday os almost certain. "We're going to go unless something happens," he said......However, his aide said he does not think the dry forces even talked with Edmondson directly about the measure. "I think they just sounded out some people who're working with him, the spokesman said. First man in the house gallery Wednesday, to make sure he had a front-row seat for the prohibition repeal debate, was Rev. David Krick, Henryetta Nazareth Chirch pastor.

But it bushwhacked a lot of people before the stuff came to the end of its trail."
