OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, oct. s.- Again thrusting at the foreign policy of the Wilson administration, Senator Harding told voters of Democratic Oklahoma tonight that while the American government was beguiling them with idealistic notions of a new social era, the other nations had reached out to dominate commerce and industry through control of the petro- leum supply.
 British interests. he declared, had put their hands on petroleum resources i'm many quarters, foreseeing day when oil would become the handspring of material progress. He said it was high time the United States also gave attention to material well being and stood behind American promoters
