TULSA WORLD COMMENDED
Democratic Leader Compli-

Fair Report of Cox Visit

Whether the tour % Governor Cox,
democratic presidential nominee, In
Oklahoma Friday win have any per-
ceptible effect in stemming the tide
that has been setting in toward
Harding and the republican con-
Eressional nominee and senatorial
candidate is n question upon which
republican and democratic leaders
are widely at variance.
Investigation conducted by the
World Saturday among the politi-
clans Of both parties failed to dis
close any change In the local politi-
cal sentiment. The governor in his
speech here failed to bring out any
points concerning the league of ma
tions that have not already been
| emphasized by the democratic can
! dldate and noted in the press. 1t was
unanimously agreed. The only Wis
ible result has been to inject some
enthusiasm into the democratic
leaders with the attending effect
that II will make the republicans
work all the harder to increase the
| lead heretofore taken,
No Great Demonstration.
Republicans call attention TO the
, ovations given william Jennings
Bryan everywhere he spoke during
his first campaign for the presidency
by crowds that surpassed in mum
bers those which greeted Governor
Cox Friday. The difference so far
as genuine enthusiasm was concerned
was wholly In favor OF the boy ora
tor of the Platte" for the audiences
addressed by Cox manifestly came to
see more than to hear and SO far as
Tulsa itself could be taken as a cri-
terion there was no single spontane-
Gus demonstration along the entire
line Of march. Theodore Roosevelt
Jr., received more genuine applause
In his Convention hall speech than
was given the standard bearer of the
democratic party Friday night.
The stress laid upon the impor.
tance of eiecting Scott Ferris to the
United states senate from "A demo.
