PRINCE FREEL|NG NOT
IN RACE FOR SENATE

Oklahoma City, June 15.-Public duty
arising from the Red river boundary
controversy is named by Attorney Cen
eral Freezing as his reason for not
filing as a candidate for democratic
nomination for United States senator.
in a statement issued yesterday after
noon. Freezing announced last fall
that he would be candidate.
The statement made yesterday says:
Il did not file as a candidate for
United States senator in the demo-
cratic primary, August 3. Owing to
with the attorney generals depart
ment, l have not been permitted 10
make campaign, and as the supreme
court has fixed August Is as the
limit within which Oklahoma and
Texas may present proof as to their
contentious on the law questions in.
volved in the boundary controversy, it
will be utterly impossible to make such
a campaign as l should wish and deem
necessary.
This l deeply regret, for 1t was
my earnest desire and intention to pre-
sent my views and opinions on the
questions which must be solved in
the reconstruction of our country and
the world.
This situation is the more deeply
regretted for the reason that so far,
no one is advocating the things in
which | believe. had earnestly hoped,
without indulging in. my personalities
Whatever, to impress the view which
l deeply feel that large measure Of
the uncertainty and distress which
surrounds US is the natural result Of
a policy of departing from the consti.
tuition as written.
Normal and safe conditions will
never return permanently until we
highly resolve TO return to the charted
path marked out by the fathers IN
which for more than q century we
have travelled in safety. Above all, I
desired to call attention to the usurpa-
tion by the federal government of the
rights Of the sovereign states and to
point out the fact that when you de.
stroy these states, you destroy the
government.
Conditions and circumstances over
which | have no actual control have
denied me this privilege. The bound
airy line case with Texas. involving
hundreds of millions of dollars OF tax
able property is as important to the
people of Oklahoma as the selection
of senator, and | shall have the sat
isfaction of knowing that / am press
ing what / feel to be Oklahoma's just
and rightful claims.
Il cannot permit the opportunity to
pass without expressing in a public
manner the gratitude l feel to the
thousands of my fellow citizens for
their friendly words OF encouragement
and unsolicited nrornises of sllunort" /"

Harding Takes No Chances

Washington, June 15.--Warren G,
Harding, the republican presidential
nominee, does not intend to retire
from the United States senate until
his term of office expires, on March
4.
There is no possibility OF that"
Senator Harding declared today, when
asked whether he would resign from
the senate Immediately. 81 don't intend
to resign, but intend to serve my
constituency. I intend to withdraw
my petition, filed last week, in CO.
lumbus, giving notice that 1 would
be candidate for reelection to the
senate. This will be done this week.
Senator Hardings friends explained
today that for him to retire from the
senate would endanger the narrow
margin Of control held by the republi-
cans there, as his retirement would en-
able Governor Cox of Ohio to appoint
a democrat in his place. They also
said that should the senator be elected
president in November he could con.
tinue to serve in the senate as he
would not be inaugurated until his
term as senator expired March 4.
The senator was at his office early
today winding up senate business. His
only fixed engagement was with Les
lie NJ. Shaw. former secretary of the
treasury, who called, it is understood.
to discuss publicity matters in con.
nec1on with the coming campaign.

AND PUT WET PLANK
IN PARTY PLA IF ROM

Chicago, H., June 15.-Norman E.
Mack, who stopped off here on his
way to the democratic national con-
vention at San Francisco, said today
that he believed the democrats would
put a light t-wines-and-beer plank in
heir platform.
There is one way we can beat the
republicans easily" said Mr.. Mack.
The league of nations, the high cos,
of living and everything else will be
overshadowed II the democrats have
courage to make a wet platform,
something the republicans did not
have. i know that Mr.. Bryan will
probably control the resolutions COM
mittee against a wet platform plank,
bat the delegates in the convention will
have the last say on the platform, and
| believe they will insist on a damp
plank, at least"
Mr.. Mack thinks that William G..
McAdoo and Governor Cox of Ohio
have the best chances for the dem.
ocratic presidential nomination.
