Oklahoma Dry Lobbyist Secures Senate Approval
Oklahoma City January 14 The Oklahoma United Drys named a new lobbyist in the Legislature after longtime executive secretary Dave Shapard resigned. State Sen Herbert Hope accused Shapard of pursuing money and libelous activity while Fred Hardin, Shapard’s successor, sought a lobbying permit. Hope, once a prohibition committee chair, criticized Shapard as stirring trouble. Shapard rebutted Hope as biased. Hope learned of Shapard’s resignation and moved to confirm Hardin, a minister, as lobbyist. The Senate approved the appointment.
