Oklahoma City, July 24.-Declar-
ing ''it is time to equalize freight
rates IN the southwest, John A. White.

of agriculture, late today called for
agitation to revise rates in the inter-
est of more just" schedules. The call
was issued to farmers, business men,
civic and commercial organizations.
The new wage-scale granted to rail-
road employees will force higher rates,
Whitehurst said, and evils" Of pres

ed in the new schedules made to pay
for the wage increases.
his is an opportune time to
straighten out faulty and discrimina-
tory methods of making freight rates
on certain favored, so-called water
rate points, enjoyed by many cities
that have no boat lines or competi.
tive water rates" Whitehurst said.
There will be great furry in some
cities TO organize lines on paper, in
order to try to hold special privileges,
they have enjoyed for years.
I'VE cannot afford without a strug-
gle to permit unfair discrimination to
continue against one of the greatest
agricultural states in the union while
the crooked ways of rate ways of
rate making are being Strengthened.
It is time for all interests in Okla
bona to get together to help rewrite
the rates in a manner equitable to
all.
I'VE are paying now higher rates
than we should more percentage in

age US still further.
Oklahoma is not averse to paying
its share Of freight increases. But
we are opposed to any city or Sec

denied to us. 1t is time to equalize
rates in the southwest"

deJed a remarkable recep\ \on to
Scott Ferris, candidate for the DEM
ocratic United States senatorial nom
ination.
Early in the day farmers began
arriving in the town and at 2 o'clock
it was conseryatively estimated thar
fully 1000 out.of.town visitors were
here to, attend the Ferris meeting.
1T is without doubt the most en-
thusiastic reception ever rendered a
candidate here" said Charles Orr. a
former captain in the American Ex.
peditionary forces, when Ferris had
finished his speech. 81 heard Sena-
tor Gore here" continued Mr.. Orr.

80 Gore supporters left after NJ.
Ferris had finished his argument to-
day. His address wa sa real master
piece"

paid a glowing tribute to the record
Of the Lawton congressman as ma

American.
While in France" Mr.. Orr said. IS

senator from oklahoma. and | could
only answer that the condemnations
were justified. but my friends, | u--Ss
up my mind that when MIR. Gore
again came UP for endorsement at the
hands of the people, that if l were
alive | would do all in my power to
help administer the defeat he so richly
deserves
During the course of the afternoon
Ferris spoke at Calvin to over 1000
pioneers.
We're for Ferris" said Senator Ben
Harrison in introducing the Lawton
statesman, because we recognize that
he qept the faith while his opponent
was pursuing an un-American course
and from what we know of his record
we feel that no Oklahoman is better
qualified to represent this great state
in the United States senate.
Ferris in both his speeches received
the deepest attention as he recitei
his record and the record of his OPP
ponent He was interrupted with
prolonged applause when he made the
statement that he didn't want the
support of the radical slackers who
hated the government and who have
not dared to show their colors since
1911"

SILENT ON DEbS PARDON

Dayton. July PA change in the
place for notification of Governor Coz
takof his namination by the democrats
was taken up today by the governor
with local interests.
The event may be transferred from
Trails End, his home, five miles out
side Of Dayton, to the Montgomery
county fai rgrounds, near the city.
Facilities for the crowds expected on
August Z were the moving factors in
the proposed change. The fair grounds
besides grandstand seating several
thousand, with large race course,
has street car service which is lack
ing at Trails End, if the governor
doubts whether the natural ampithea.
tire at Trails End, where he had plan
ned to deliver his address, would en-
able all visitors to hear him.
The notification ceremonies are in
the hands OF the democratic national
committee is to act and, after further
conference with Governor Cox definite
announcement is expected next week.
Governor Cox said he was consider
ing his itinerant carefully and that ii
now appeared probable he will make
oynly one western trip, spending most
of September, in that territory after
touring the central and eastern states
during August, while Franklin d.
Roosevelt is in the west. The governor
said that in October he probably would
deliver some addresses in southern
states and the remainder in the cen
tral and eastern territory. He said hc
plans little personal work in Ohio.
Governor Cix went back to the soil"
for a few hours today, looking over
livestock and other interests on his
farm. Tomorrow he plans to spend
quietly attending church and resting
at home.

ed today to express an opinion regard

He outlined his position in a reply
to President Christensen, presidential
candidate of the farmer-labor party,
who telegraphed both Senator Harding
and Governor Cox, ascking them that
they use their influence to secure ex-
ecutive clemency for Debs.

Exceptionally Heavy Vote Polled at
Texas Primary Saturday; Returns Are
Coming in Slowly; Bailey Makes Race
On Closed Shop Platform; Women Take
Active Part While Many Soldiers
Work Booths From Early Mornto Close

Dallas, Texas, July 24.-When the
polls closed at Z o'clock tonight
It was believed that one of the larg-
est votes on record had been cast today
in the democratic primary in which
Texans balloted on nominees for gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, the re-
mainder of a state ticket and congress-
men from the entire IS Texas districts
Reports from throughout the state
indicated an unusually heavy vote
had been cast, and the heat OF the
fourcorner fight for the gubernatorial
nomination, the contest for lieuten-
ant governor in which four men were
entered. and various heated county
contests, were given as the chier
causes
No tangible returns were available
shortly after the polls closed and 1t
was said length Of ballot would cause
slow tabulation of the returns.
Political observers said they did not
believe today's contests would pro-
duce nominees for governor and lieu
tenant governor. In that event the
two men who received the highest
vote in each contest would participate
in run off primary August 2S.
The gubernatorial fight has at
tracted national attention but the
intensity of the campaign wagei
centered on the open shop question.
Former United States Senator Jo-
seph Weldon Bailey openly fought on
an open shop platform.
In Dallas and some Of the other
larger cities. Robert f. Thompson
was endorsed for the nomination by
leaders OF organized labor, as was
Pat NJ. Neff The other contestant
for the nomination is Il. +. Looney.
The field OF five in the fight for lieu
tenant governor is made up of /.
w. CUP. j. c. McNealus, W. A.
Johnson, r. b. Humphreys and
Lynch Davidson.
No constitutional amendment was
voted on, but the so-called homestead
amendment was placed on the ballot
at request of Governor Hobby for the
voters to decide whether 1t should b.
resubmitted to the 37th legislature.
Many women participated actively
at today's primary, according to the
reports acting as judges OF elections
at some of the voting places. Only
about one-third Of the possible women
voters had paid poll taxes, however,
and were eligible TO vote.

JIM REED DENIES THA 7
He STYLED WILSON AS
A JACKASS, BUT CALLED
HIM "BRAY|N c ANIMAL ="

Nevada, Mo-, July Ex-senator James
A. Reed in an address here today
denied that he had ever INDUCED in
personalities in speeches with refer.
ence to President Wilson's position
on the league of nations issue. He de-
clared while he had criticised certain
utterances and acts of the president,
that he had too much respect for the
great office of the president to at
tack him personally. The senator
also stated that he had never had
a personal difference with the presi-
dent and that for man who is pres
ident, | have nothing but a kindly
personal feeling,
1T has been recently said that /
referred to the president as q braying
animal" said Reed. 81 made no such
expression with my lips; certainly
not Intentionally. | was referring to
arguments that had been repeated
by many people and to some gross
misrepresentation and in the heat
of an extemperaneous speech did use
the expression that what l said was
true, notwithstanding the brayings
which were being heard, but nothing
was further from my mind than a
reference to the president.
There are, however, some men who
are constituted so they are incapable
of understanding that there can be
differences of judgment without per
sonal acrimony. This class of indi-
viduals and newspapers has per-
sistently ascribed my opposition 70
certain great national and internation-
al affairs to the fact that at one time
a difference existed between the pres
ident and myielf over the appoint
ment of a postmaster in Kansas City.
1T must be indeed small mind
which would attribute to any man
so contemplate reason for his pub
lie acts. A dispute, If it can be called
a dispute, occurred during President
Wilson's first term. Long before the
presidents second campaign, the post

ence had arisen and asked me for
my recommendation At that time,
the man whom / had originally re-
commended, a Mr.. O'Malley had EN-.
barked in business and did not desire
the appointment and had so stated
Thereupon Mr.. Steele my friend for
90 years. was appointed to the po-
sition.
This occurred, as have stated,

entered that campaign with every
energy l possessed. Some speeches l
made in the senate were used by the
national committee as campaign
document. The statement that Missouri
gave Mr., Wilson something over 2S,-
coo majority, giving me substantially
the same vote. | am claimed to credit,
but l simply cite is as an indubitable
fact, miserable character of the work
which has been persisted in for two
or three years"
In launching into the league Of
nations question, Senator Reed de.
clared the republican platform is
straddlc and the democratic platform
an evasion. The American people
ought to tolerate neither he as.
