The world does not purpose taking into
sidoration the personal opinion OF Jim McGraw
for Jim Harris of Jim Harris for JIM Mo
Graw. for neither such opinion ls of the slight.

Of Oklahoma.
The world knows both gentlemen very In
tImatcly Both arc honorable men. Each is
entitled TO the respect and confidence Of his
fellows Neither of them mentally. morally or
politically, Is either better or worse than the
other--nor than thousands OF other ropub-
leans In the stat, OF Oklahoma. Financially
there is a Wide difference between the two men,
and In their political methods there is an
equally wide difference.
Tho World supported Mr.. MoGraw for ma.
tional committeeman supported him while he
was national committeeman, and supported him
for collection. II insisted that national
committeeman he entitled to the respect
ful support OF the republicans OF the state
especially those Of leadership dimensions; and
1t supported him for reelection because there
appeared substantial reason why he should
not have that honor.
when 1t becamo evident that to continue his
fight meant nothing but DISASTROUS defeat, and
Mr.. McGraw withdrew from the contest with the
deliberate statement that he would never again
ask the republicans OF Oklahoma for an office
Of any kind. The World appauded his mag
uanimity. and since Il could not In good faith
bring Itself to support his adversary whom II
considered unfit TO represent the republicans
OF the state, asked that a new man be selected
for tho place
That was not 10 ho. Possibly under the cir.

SAYS JAPAN WILL
GIVEUP SHANTUNG
Chinese Report Declares No
Conditions Will Be De-
manded.

NEW YORK. May S.-Japan has
decided to return the Province of
Shantung to China Immediately and
Internationally, says a dispatch to
the New, York World from Tientsin.
China. The correspondent declares
the decision rs due to a change in
the Chinese policy.
A dispatch from Washington to
the World says:
IF Japan has reversed her policy
on the return of Shantung, official
and diplomatic Washington appar-
emily has not yet been informed of
1t. At the State Department and
Chinese and Japanese embassies 1t
was said no word Indicating the
return Of shantung had been re-
ceived."
Ever since the province-part of
which was held by Germany prior
to the war under a concession from
the Pekin government-was award
ed to Japan at the peace confer
ence, the Chinese populace has car
ried on a boycott of practically
everything Japanese. Recent dis
patches from the Far East recorded
that the movement was proving
practically fatal to Japanese inter
ests in China.
