opposition argument continues, "tc

Considered in the light of the
Fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, which
says. No state shall deny TO any

initiative Is in conflict with our con-
stitution since it proposes a discrim-
inatory classification of aliens, con-
ferring upon one class the protection
Of the law which II denies to another
class.
This discrimination applies also to

second, to take land owning minors

AND AUCTIONEER OF
CHICA CO WILL PUT
ON LOCAL SALES

a. George w. Fryhofer, president Of
the Fryhofer Land Company, of
Chicago, has arrived in Ardmore, to
conduct several massive sales begin
ming November II, for the purpose
OF selling the tracts in the Industrial
Heights to Ardmore, owned by the
Ardmore Chamber Of Commerce In
dustrial Corporation
The sale of the lots will not be
for profit, the company states, but
for the purpose Of obtaining money
which will serve as bonuses for factor
les and other industrial plants desir-
ing to locate in the addition.
The Industrial Heights addition 10
Ardmore was purchased by the cor
poration some time ago, for the
purpose Of locating there factories,
refineries. etc The members of the
corporation realized that a growing
city could not depend entirely on oil,
and that the strength of every pro-
gressive city depends largely on its
industries. Immediately after the pur-
chase, the corporation succeeded in
having the Santa Fe railway install
a belt line switch near the site, and
by means Of this belt line, all the four
railroads of Ardmore are accessible
TO any plant located in the Industrial
Heights addition. Water connections
and power are available, and oil and
gas lines from four of the fields
of Carter county run into the addi-
ton.
Some Of the industrial plants al
ready located on the heights are
Chickasaw Refining Company, the
Cameron Refining Company, Akron
Ardmore Tire and Rubber Company,
Ardmore Refining and Producing Com
pany and others.
The residential part OF the heights,
where the homes Of employees of the
plants will be located, is Ideally
situated on fine ridge, covered
with beautiful oak trees, and well
drained.
In speaking Of Ardmore, Mr.. Fry
hofer, believes that this city has a
great future, due both to the natural
resources, the wonderful possblli-
ties and the fine class Of men who
take an interest in the development
of the city. 1t was through the ac-
qualntance Of S. a. Apple, who is
a member Of the corporation. at
Palm Beach, Florida, that Mr.. Fry
hofer came to Ardmore.

arguments for and against II respect

Of the Sacramento, Cal, Bee, and by

er Of stockton, California.
In behalf Of the measure, Mr.. Nc
Clatchy says in part
Through the measure, California
Seeks as is her inherent right, 10 pre-
serve her lands for Americans, pre-
cisely as Japan preserves her lands
for the japanese. It's primary pur-
pose is to prohibit Orentals who
cannot become American citizens from
controlling our rich agricultural lands
"Our present treaty of commerce
and navigation with Japan deliberate
ly omits, from the privileges granted
the Japanese in this country, either
ownership or lease Of agricultural
lands. Japan has always prohibited
ownership, or lease, OF use of agri-
cultural lands in Japan by Americans
or other foreigners
"Orientals, and more particularly
japanese, having commenced to secure
control or agricultural lands In Cali
fornia, there was enacted in 1918 the
Alien Land Law, which prohibited
ownership-or lease beyond three
years-of agricultural lands by aliens
ineligible to citizenship.
I'm defiance of that law, through
various subterfuges, including use of
dummy corporations and minor native
born children, Orientals largely Japa-
nese, are fast securing control Of the
richest irrigated lands in the state,
through lease or ownership, the pro-
portion already controlled in some
counties being from so to rs per
cent.
"The initiative measure simply closes
the loophole i'm the 1913 law which
permits violation and evasion thereof.
in addition it forbids even short
leases"
In his argument against the meas
ure, Mr.. Irish discusses the CONNER
cial treaty with Japan and declares
that "in its economic definition com

FATE OF JAP "A RM ERS
IN CALIFORNIA TO Be
SETTLED IS NOVEMBER

San Francisco, Oct 2S.-The fate
Of japanese farmers in California win
be decided Tuesday, November ?.
when the electorate of this state
passes on an initiative measure that
would dras.ically amend the present
alien land law by withdrawing en-
tirely the three-year agricultural land
leasing privilege from aliens who are
Ineligible 10 American citizenship.
The measure aims also to place
minor land-owning aliens under the
guardianship Of a public adminlstra-
tor. The actual ownership of farm
hands by aliens ineligible to citizen
ship already is prohibited by the alien
land law enacted by the state legisla-
ture in 1913.
The initiative measure, its propon-
ents assert will conform strictly to
the letter Of the treaty between Japan
and the United States, in which Japa-
nese residents We're granted certain
privileges. The opponents of the pro-
posed new law declare that the issue
raises the question Of an interpre-
tation of phraseoogy in the treaty
wherein it is provided that the .Gapa-
nese residents in the United States
may own or hire and occupy houses,
manufactures, warehouses, shops and
premises and lease lands for resi-
dental and commercial purposes"
1t is pointed out by persons opposed
to amending the present law that the
leasing Of land for commercial pur-
poses contemplated the privilege of
leasing agricultural lands. The vot-
ers Of the state have had the legal
yeribage Of the measure clarified by

Warren @. Harding has always beer
identified with the conservative wing
of the Republican party. He is p
newspaper man and was chairman of
the Republican National Committee
of 1916.
The big three. Lowden, Wood and
johnson were beaten by the dark
horse Harding who did not begin to
show speed until shortly before the
Saturday afternoon recess.
The voting on the last ballot stood
Harding 674, Wood 1874, johnson
so. Sproul As and Lowden 13.
1t looked yesterday that Wood was
stronger and would go into the fight
with greater support than he was
ever supposed to have although he
suffered the disadvantage of being
the first up. The Wood managers
figured on no intermisaion between
the speeches and the voting counting
on a gseAtswave OF enthusiasm for
the general, heralded by orator. to
carry him to victory.
There was abundant evidence oil
powerful influences being exerted in
numerous delegations to round up
the necessary 493 votes for Wood.
while the anti-Wood forces were
supremely confident that his manae-
ers would be able to place the Cen
eral within $50 votes of the nomln-
alton.
Governor Lowden appeared as the
commanding figure in the field in OPP
position to Wood not only as the IN
dividuai candidate but as a leader
of forces that would sacrifice its lead
er rather than see Wood get the
nomination.
At one time 1t looked as il Low
den had the convention in his pocket,
but the affair of the Missouri del
egates who were accused of misap-
propriating the Lowden campaign
lU1u CAST SfIddoh osti thc B'fet-
nor's prospects until his reputation
of the delegates which served TO re-
pair the injury. but left him In
position for a sacrifice.
On the fourth ballot where General
Wood expected to carry the oonven-
ton, Harding had a score of 62 with
Lowden 303 and Wood 299. Before
the recess was declared at p. m.
there was feeling that Harding who
had jumped from 2ia 10 1881.
would receive the support of the
backing OF Governor Sproul which
subsequently proved to be the case
and in the tenth ballot the vote of
SEQ was piled up for Harding thai
put him over with safe margin.

HOW FINAL VOTE STOOD
Especial to the Newsl


CHICAGO. June 12-- United States
Senator Warren G.. Harding OF Ohio
was nominated for president on the
tonth ballot by the Republican na-
tional conventional this afternoon.
Choice was made after Lowden had
released his delegates and word had
come from Philadelphia that Hard
ing's nomination would be pleasing
to Penrose. Johnson's strength had
frittcred away and Murry Butler also
had released his delegates. Wood
made q fair showing to the END. but
on the eighth ballot, after which re-
cess was taken, he had sunk below
Lowden.
Harding last night looked like a
finished man but conferences be-
tween leaders opposed Ito Johnson
and unfric1dly to Wood settled The
ioai ter during the recess today and

for the Ohio man.

out of the way the sweltering del-
egates moved quickly to end the con
vention. Several candidates for vice
president were put in nomination,

winning the prize on first ballot. Len
root of Wisconsin was the most fay-
orable opponent of the Bay-State ex-
ccutiye. On the decisive ballot
Harding received GA votes. I'M
mediately IL was seen that the Ohioan
would be nominated there was q
rapid succession OF changes by del
egations anxious to Chamber on the
bandwagon In Chicago political
circles Harding's nomination is re-
garded as likely TO strengthen the
chances of Governor Cox in the DEM
