Oklahoma City April 19 Governor Murray said he is dissatisfied with the district judge redistricting bill as amended by the senate but would sign it if it reaches him. The measure reduces judges from 48 to a little over 3 percent and heads back to the house for concurrence. He argues for fewer than 26 judges and cites a potential $100,000 annual saving if effective January 1905. He warns against lieutenant governor appointments and urges a clause to abolish vacancies by executive order if needed.
