SENATOR HARDING IN OKLAHOMA

Senator Harding's oklahoma trip was n great
success. The voters, as many as could turned
out to meet and greet him. The enthusiasm
manifested by the crowds which met him was
all that could be desired--vastiy greater than
that accorded his distinguished opponent a few
days previous II was unfortunate that eastern
oklahoma was not accorded the opportunity OF
seeing and hearing the candidate--unfortunato
Tor eastern Oklahoma and for the republican
ticket as a whole; because Senator Harding
made votes wherever he appeared; OF that there
is no question.
Especially apropos and pleasing was his di-
rect reference to the petroleum industry and
the danger II was in AZ consequence OF gov
crnmental acquicsence at Washington In the
British plans for world domination OF that in
dustry. And his position on the league stated
direct. interpreted the sentiment OF the south
west regardless OF party, In this country we
raise Americans There ls no divided allegiance,
no silly. senseless ideallsm desiring the sub
version of the republic to an international
ohgarchy ruled by Britain.
We think the Harding visit not only made
thousands OF votes for the republican prcsiden-
tal ticket hut also thousands OF votes for Judge
Harrcld In his contest with the internatlonalist
and Wilson echo, Scott Ferris oklahomans now
know beyond peradventure OF a doubt that In
voting for Harding and Hnrreld they are voting
against the league OF nations and the Wilson
idea of government; that In voting for Cox and
Ferris they are doing the utmost In their power
to fasten the league this nation and perpetu-
ate that brand OF government which has pre-
vailed for the past years
Oklahoma has been a doubtful state for sew
eral months. We think the Harding visit re-.
moved all doubt-if republicans do their fun
duty on election day.

also that II the United States joins the league
article II may be invoked TO stop the agitation

Now say that the league does guarantee

that II guarantees that India shall be held by
the British, that Canada shall always be a
dominion, that the Union Jack shall continue
TO he the flag Of Australia and that ireland md
Egypt both backward countries, shall remain
under the control of British civilization, that
the British mandate over Jerusalem shall he

Is there any good reason against it? Hasn't
the United states got one vote, just as much as
