PICKED ON THE WRONG MAN

The president evidently picked on the wrong
when he singled out senator Spencer for
the purpose OF discrcditlng him,
Senator Spencer, in recent speech asserted
that the president while abroad promised
United states IN the event OF future wars. The
presidents handy man, 30" Tumulty de.ied
that the president had ever made such promise.
Spencer. canny as g scotchman, professed
doubt that the president had authorized such
denial The president Immediately responded
by an unqualified denial that he had ever made
such promise. Then Spencer hit and hit hard.
wherefore the sick man In the white house"
is sdck sure enough today, and 10" is scarcely
able TO be around, Spencer merely read tho
official stenographic record OF the eighth
plcuary session OF the peace conference which
quotes President Wilson saying;
You must not forget that It is force that
is tho final guarantee OF the public peace.
II the world Is again troubled, the United
states will send TO this side of the ocean
its army and it's fleet
That ought 20 give the president ample TO
write about until election day and atterward.
Incidentally It shows that not all the records
OF the plcnary sessions of the congress were
left abroad Incidentally. too it is the final
answer TO the democratic argument that the
league does not mean war but peace. Incl
dentally, too, 1t supplies the real answer to
the Cox assertion that not another American
soldier will ever be sent abroad.
In fact, senator Spencer has forced the
author Of the league proposal to administer
the hemlock to the child Of his brain.

ELECTION FRAUDS

Tho boast Is being made In various sections
OF Oklahoma by minions OF the bourbon ma
chino that I'VE have the election machinery and
propose to use 1t TO the best advantage"
1t would not be at all difficult today to find
men willing 20 wager $4,000 that Harding and
Harreld viii carry the state In November II
It were not for the fact that the bourbon ma
chine controls the election machinery.
IN some counties the gang has already begun
to move. Voters are not being permitted to
register for the election II they have had
previous opportunity to register We do not
stop to discuss what the letter OF tho law under
technical Interpretation may be. The fact re-
mains that II has been the custom TO permit all
qualified voters To register whenever the regis
tration books open. and we assert that It
Is the spirit OF the law. n not the intention OF
its makers. that every olector having a right
70 vote be permitted TO register in order that
lac may exercise that right.
Any man who donies the citizen such right;
who would a mere technicalty prevent a
fellow citizen from exercising HIS franc hisc re-
EArdess of whether such exercise would be
favorable unfavorable TO the cause he Is in
tercsted in, is at heart both a knave and a
crook.
Tho right Of every qualified elector 10 cast
