Poison ivy doesn't mean much to you. You

KLAN HOLDS NO
HAND IN RACES
Members Of Order Told There
is No Slate and Warns
Against Those Who
Make Assertions.
Especial to the Ardmoreite)

MUSKOGEE, Okla.-The Oklahoma
Herald, official organ Of the Ku Klux
Klan of the southwest in its regular
edition under dates Of August /, urged
members of the order to disregard all
efforts to herd the klan vote, whether
the effort be made by Klan officials
or not. The Herald has taken the posi-
tion that use Of the Klan as O political
asset for the advancement Of any per
sonal interest is an injury to the order
and the most deadly weapon to be used
by its enemies.
Although 1t makes no preferences
among the various candidates for Of
flee. the Herald warns its readers
against those who would parade them
selves before Klansmen as members of
the order yet fail to practice the prin-
ciple of "One Hundred Per Cent Amer
lcanism." This thrust Is said to be at
one Of the candidates for governor who
employs persons in his official family
persona non grata" to the Klan.
The Herald makes emphatic denial
that there is Klan slate and urges
the members throughout Oklahoma and
Missouri to first inform themselves
fully and then exercise their personal
judgment

COUNTY WOMEN
DISCUSS WORK
With EXPERTS
Diversified Lines Can be Kept
Under Supervision With
New Plans, Mrs. Frazier
Says.

Approximately 20 women Of the
county were in Ardmore Monday at.
tending a meeting held in the office
Of the county home demonstration
agent, Mrs. Winnie B. Church, at
which Miss era Jones, district agent
who succeeded Mrs. Daisy Frazier,
addressed the women and received re-
ports on plans made during the spring
months under the direction Of Miss
Frances l.. Brown, state leader.
Project plans, wherein groups in the
various clubs take up some special de.
partment Of the work, were discussed.
In one club it was found that while
one group preferred poultry raising,
another desired the dairy work, and
still another the clothing. All Of the
various groups can work out their own
plans, Miss Jones stated. each group
designating q leader. This in no wise
interferes with the club spirit or with
the main project of the club itself,
but 1t does provide q wider scope for
the individual member and we are
finding 1t very successful over the
state. In other words a woman may
belong to club which specializes on
poultry work, she may prefer dairy
work, in her own group she can carry
on her dairy work, and can also take
as much time and interest in the other
as she desires"
Mrs. Frazier who Is we'll known
throughout this district has been pro

is expected to be guest at the an

Legion Declares
Hands Off Here

In view Of the fact that persistant,
unfounded rumors have been broadcast
in regard to the position the American
Legion is taking in the election, |, as
commander OF the George X. Ander-
son post and by authority invested In
me at special meeting of the post DO
hereby make the following statement
for the benefit of the good citizens OF
Carter county who have been approach
ed by the bearers of these unfair ru-
mors
First: The American Legion as every
good American knows, or should know,
Is absolutely non-political.
Second; The George II. Anderson post
has not taken STRAW vote" and found
that two thirds were for or against
any candidate.
Third Ewing C. London was not
asked to resign as commander of the
American Legion. The constitution of
the legion specifically states that nc
man who is candidate for public Of
flee can hold an official position Of
any kind" Consequently it was neces-
sary that Mr.. London resign as com
mander of the George r. Anderson
post, which he did voluntarily.
1t was hoped by the members that
statement Of this nature could be
withheld, but unfortunately the situa
ton has gotten to the stage where it Is
only fair to the legion and to the can
didates that il be made
We, as a body are absolutely neu
tral, and ere taking no part whatever
and as q body We are not endorsing
any candidate.
