Answer 1

D. He changed his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican

Step-by-step explanation:

John Calloway Walton was the fifth governor of Oklahoma, who was born on March 1881 and died on November 1949. He became the Governor of Oklahoma on January 9, 1923 and he always belonged to the Democratic party.

Governor John Walton experienced some challenges in his administration which eventually led to his removal from office. He tried to please both the Conservatives and the Progressives, and as a result he lost the favor of the two parties. He attempted salvaging the situation by giving political appointments to top members of the parties, but this was not successful as he was eventually removed from office.
