called that he was not much OF a
league OF nations devotee, perhaps
was opposed TO the plan In it's en-
tirety, and that would not oudear
him TO tho state chairman who
places that as the Shibboleth OF
democratic faith and LOYALTY.
Beyond doubt the McAdoo visit is
of interest to Oklahoma democrats
ana the fact that he is advertised TO
come causes many TO ponder tho
wherefore OF the why. The adver-
tised speaker Is a political oppo-
nent Of senator Robert l.. owen and
ex-senator Thomas Pryor Gore,
neither OF those Oklahomans maxi
ing any attempt to conceal their dis
ike for the former treasury head.
OF course, MIR. McAdoo has ma
uonal reputation--he was for
midal candidate for president last
year and is recognized as presi-
dental possibility for 1924, but that
does not dispel the fact that II Is
rather peculiar his first political ut
terance Is 20 be made In state
whose two democratic senators he
warred against for a considerable
number of years,

about the only new thing noticeable
among the democrats Is an apparent
literary contest. A fortnight ago
Judge Thomas H. owen tried TO
back into the contest again through
the fundamentally of a letter he
was alleged to have written to w.
=. Conners OF Canadian. This week
Judge John Leahy OF Pawhuska
took his pen In hand" and wrote
column or go relative TO the pre-
suIned boom that had been launched
for him. The letters were both well
written and, II nothing more, prove
beyonu doubt that neither of the
distinguished gentlemen intend to
sue the prognosticators for having
mentioned them as potential guber-
Material possibilities.
one additional candidate was
added TO the republican list of pos
slbilities, Editor Clark Of the Coal
gate Courier advancing the name of
Judge J, T Rails who must not be
contounded with his brother; Judge
George F, Rails OF Atoka, although
both OF them have rather high
standing among Oklahoma republic
ans. The suggestion OF Editor
Clark has attracted much attention
at the state capital city whore Judge

Capital city republicans, however
hold to the theory that whoever ia
nominated by the republicans must
be one who has standing in the
Eighth and First congressional dis
tricts, which stretch across the
northern part OF the state, from
Missouri TO Colorado. They are pre-
sumed to be strong republican dis
tricts, and an appeal must be made
to that section TO rally the republic
an voters to their fullest possible
strength This does not necessarily
mean that the candidate must come
from that seotion--it meaps that he
must be able 90 rally that greaS vot-
ing strength to the highest possible
ardor.
Two OF tho mentioned possibilities
are from the First district, Speaker
George Schwabe of Nowata and Alva
j, Niles OF Tulsa. Jim Harris re-
sides in the Second district and John
Fields In the Fifth. Col. Hugh Scott
and Judge Rails are both residents
Of the Fourth district, although the
former has spent the larger portion
NJ his Oklahoma residence in the
Eighth district.
IL Is not probable thar all OF the
mentioned will aspire for
the republican gubernatOrial and 10
Is probable that neither Of them will

that eight months ahead OF the pri-
