Oklahoma City Aug. 30-Charging
that the sheriff of Tulsa and Oklaho'
ma counties where lynchings occurred
Saturday and Sunday nights respec'
lively were in collusion with the
leaders OF the mob or else were
wholly unfit by lack Of physical
courage to discharge the duties or
their Offices" Governor ]. B. A. Rob-
ertson sent a letter to the attorney
generals department today directing
that immediate steps be taken to re-
move the two sheriffs from office.
Excuses offered by the jailers were
characterized by the governor as be-
ing too flimsy and as stock excuses.
"They should be made to suffer
the consequences" wrote the COVER
nor. They should be summarily re
moved from office
The governor requested instant &C.
ton in the matter saying in his let
ter:
You cannot move too quickly in
this matter. All persons engaged in
lynching the two prisoners in the
eyes of the law are guilty of mur'
der"
The governor declared that had he
the power he would have removed
the sheriffs from office Immediately
upon receipt of the information tina,
they had permitted the mobs to take
the prisoners from the manner 1t is
done. He declared that had he re-
ceived u request ne would have order
ed a guard to protect the jail here
and in Tulsa from which the prisoners
We're taken.
A full report of the lynching at
Tulsa was made to the governor this
morning by Thomas l. Monroe, coun.
ty attorney of Tulsa county. He indi-
Gated that an inquiry on the part of
the county attorney would be doomed
to failure from the start, owing to
sentiment in Tulsa.
In discussing the affair he said he
asked Sheriff James Wolley Of Tulsa
county for an explanation but had
not yet received u satisfactory ans

Following his interview with Monroe
the governor conferred with c. v:
King and r. f. Wood, assistant attor.
neys general. He also issued proolama-
tions offering rewards of $500 70,
the arrest and conviction of any per.
son implicated in the mobs. 1t was
indicated that grand jury investiga.
tions would be held both in Tulsa
and Oklahoma City.

parties bidding for the suffrage of the
whole citizenship can not state in def.
i1ite terms what are their proposals
end what are their pledges. The
same exasperation must be felt re.
garding many of the utterances of
candidates. However, the viewpoint
of Governor Cox is, we find, more
clearly expressed and less open to
the criticism Of lack Of clarity.
Moreover, and as an argument that
admits of no qualifying or denial there
is Governor Cox's, record as governor
Of Ohio during which he acted upon
out acting on a single one adversely
to labor
This is a record of fidelity to hu.
manity, Of understanding of the needs
of the great masses Of the people
that has few equals in American po-
litical life.
The American labor movement
asks from no man or woman a pledge
of political conduct. 1t seeks to die
tate to none. Its field is limited, and
properly so, to furnishing to the rank
and file the information upon which
1t may base conclusions.
There Is no intention to depart
here from that rule which binds the
officers individually as we'll as col.
lectively in serving the great labor
movement, But it would be sad
and unforgivable remissness Of duty
in this crucial hour were the facts

committee, comparing the public rec
ords of the Republican and Demo-
in a report made public today that
Governor Cox had shown himself pos
sessed Of fuller understanding Of
the needs Of the working people"
The report, = signed by Samuel
Gompers, president; Matthew Woll,
ylce-rresident, and Frank Morrison,
secretary Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor is the first ever made
on presidential candidates by a fed
Grafton committee.
Taking up the senatorial record of
Senator Harding, the committee de.
clared that on Is measures dealing
with labor his score stood: Favor
able Z; unfavorable 10; paired unfa-
vorably /.
The Republican nominees vote on
labor issues during his term in the
state senate of Ohio, as reported by
the committee, stood:
Favorable g. unfavorable D. In this
connection the report said:
Senator Harding's record in Wash
ington affords better opportunity for
analysis of his legislative views than
does his record in the Ohio senate,
by reason Of the fact that his term of
service extended for longer period
of time, during which he was called
upon to consider a wider variety of
measures"
Reviewing Governor Coxs record
the report said that while Governor
of Ohio he had "acted upon 50 meas.
ures of interest to labor without act
ing on single one adversely to la.
bor." AS a member of the Send con
gress, the governor was recorded as
voting favorable" to labor on twt
measures the only ones listed.
After reviewing and quoting
length from the utterances Of the
candidates on labor issues in thei
speeches Of acceptance the committee
summarized its findings in this Ian
guage
There can be but one conclusion
based upon q careful and impartial
survey of the actions and declarations
of the candidates. Governor Cox has
shown himself possessed OF a. fuller
understanding of the needs of the
working people. a reader response to
their needs and to their proposals and
q broader craftsmanship in his public
discussions Of the problems of the in.
dustria world.
In addition to his superior under.
standing, Governor Cox is the candi-
date on a platform which labor has
declared marks a measure Of pro.
gress not found in the republican
platform and the planks of which
more nearly approximate the desired
declaration of human rights than do
the planks found in the republican
platform
Not only in the specific utterances
relating directly to questions held par.
amount by labor Is the comparison
favorable to Governor Cox. His pro.
gressive and constructive viewpoint
holds throughout his declaration Of
public questions, though he slips at
times into that ambiguity which un.
fortunately has marked to q greater
or less degree the platforms Of both
parties and tho utterances of both
candidates.

Japan is. of course. fast becoming

hand the shortage of labor is becoming
a serious question, the growth of popu-

claim that Japan must go elsewhere to
find room for her people is sheer non
sense, for she has the whole of the
