Election Campaign

Oklahoma City.-All doubt that the
November senatorial election in Okla
homa would be a straight-Out fight be-
tween the Ku Klux Khan and its Op-
pOnents was swept away the past week
when returns from the statewide pri-
mary election showed the nomination
of j. G. Walton. Democrat, bitter op-
pOnent Of the khan, and w. b. Pine,
wealthy oil man and a khan endorsee.
Unofficial returns gave WaltOn's
lead over e. r. Howard, congressman
from the First district, at 10000.
Pines lead over Eugene LOrtOn, Tulsa
publisher, assures him the Republican
nomination.
Political observers are chiefly con-
cerned with the question whether
party lines will remain intact in the
senatorial race, many going so far as
to express the belief that the khan and
anti-klan fight virtually will wipe out
party ~delineatiOns.
Walton is a bitter opponent Of the
hu NluA MAN anu severely dJtdChCO
that organization in his campaign
speeches. Howard and Wrightsmar
were known to have been Endorsed by
the khan.

atOrial nomination.
Pine had the Endorsement of the X

II Is understood at this writing
that the treaty of commerce gives
British goods most favored nation
treatment IN Russia and that Great
Britain recognizes the soviet trade
monopoly and agrees to give diplo-
matte immunity to a certain number
Of Russian trade representatives. De
tails Of the general treaty are not
known. but 1t is believed it provides
for British guarantee Of a loan TO
Russia of between f3O,OOO,OOO and
f4O,OO0,OOO. Und~ersecretary Ponsonby
told the house that, regarding the
claims Of British bOndhOlders. the
soviet government had given an ex-
preston Of liability and an assurance
that the Russians would negotiate
with the bOndhOlders.
Prime Minister Macdonald is ex-
ceedingly anxious for consummatiOn
of these treaties with Russia. for the
trade unions believe that they will
mean more work and greater prosper
ity for the British wOrkingman.
They constitute an important part OF

was in a reply from GOmpers to Will
liam b. Wilson, former secretary of
labor, who had asked that the fed

side directed at Charles G.. Dawes,
Republican vice presidential candi-
date, whom he denounced for alleged

his organization Of the Minute Men

chiefly fighting the organizations of
