OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma, Oc- ! tober 15.—1If any one is longing for a | taste of the good old-fashioned brand | | of scorching politics, he has but to| ome to Okiahoma in the final weeks | of this_campaign. | The State is in the grip of the vast dispute over Smith and Hoover, run- !ning to issues of the most peppery | | character and embracing many recog- nized uncertainties.

This figure cxceeded by more than 500,000 the record of 1.500.~ 113 qualified voters registered for the presidential election four years ago. Although the six-day registra- tion period closed Saturday night totals were not available until yesterday, because of the more than half million persons who qualified as voters Saturday. 7ation has local branches. There is at least -one tack in every county. Dr. Rone says he has signed up more than 80,000 Democrats to vote for Hoover, and is receiving many additional pledges dail | October both sides are predicting vic- ory, they both talk of shifting tides nd a still sient vote, which is an- | other way of saying that no one has been quite able to fathom all that may be going on beneath the frothy surface. In the past there has been much | talk of “whispering” in Oklahoma, but certajnly at this stage the campaign is far from voiceless. It’challenges at- tention in unexpected ways. Alighting from a train here in the State Capital, | the Associated Press reporter encount- ered an extremely vocal pack of news- boys, whose clamorous sales talk was composed entirely of political headlines. The smallest of the lot, as he counted out change, looked up eagerly’ and asked: “Are you for Al or Hoover?” Nor does this incident overdraw the picture. The rival party headquarters are not the decorous, roller-bearing po- litical sanctums so common to latter- day campaigns. They are crowded with animated and very busy workers. Tables and floors are strewn with a dis- | array of many kinds of campaign liter- | ature. In the entrance halls and on the sidewalks outside stand knots of voters arguing it out to their own satis- faction. ~ There is about it all some- thing of the distrait appearance of a hotel lobby at political convention time. The inquirer who asked at Democratic headquarters. what this was all about was answered with the single word, *Re- ligion.” The answer to the same ques- tion across the street at Republican headquarters was, “Prohibition, im- migration, the Coolidge policies, the records of the candidates.” “Tammany” Is Issue. When the inquiry was transferred to the anti-Smith headquarters around the corner, the head of that organiza- tion replied that, so far as he was con- the outstanding issue of “Tam- many. A few historical bearings arc illumi- nating. Oklahoma has voted for but | one Republican for President, and that was in the Harding landslide of 1920. Four years ago, in the Coolidge landslide, the State gave Davis 255,798, Coolidge 226,242 and La Follette 41,141, but in that same election, on an entirely dif- ferent set of issues, it elected a Repub- lican Senator by a margin of 145,000. Seven of the eight congressional dis- tricts are represented in the House at Washington by Democrats. It so happens that interest in the McNary-Haugen bill was centered in the one Republican district, comprising ¢ northwestern corner of the State, and including many wheat farmers. Hoover’s nomination was followed by some Republican defections there, but the State as a whole is dry, and was once a strong Klan State. Four days after Smith was nominated at Houston, “the anti-Smith Democratic organization of Oklahoma” set out to defeat him. Shortly afterward, former Senator Robert L. Owen boited to the Republicans. Both Smith and Hoover lost important newspaper support which would have belonged to them normally. ‘The net effect of all of this, plus a complicated State row over the at- tempt to impeach Gov. Johnston, and plus also an effort to revive the once powerful Klan, was greatly to encourage the Republicans and to lead some Dem- ocratic politicians to look upon Okla- homa with much misgiving. Chair- man Raskob insisted, however, that the State was fair fighting ground and three weeks ago Gov. Smith came to Oklahoma City, assailed former Sena- tor Owen and denounced the campaign against his record and his religion. The speech of the Democratic nom- inee here was followed by an appreci- able increase in the activity of the State Democratic headquarters, which seconded his stand by charging open- ly that the Hoover campaign in Okla- homa was based on the religious issue. The Republicans denied that they had sponsored any talk about religion, and they now say that if the religious issue is in the campaign, the Democrats put it there. Anti-Smith Democratic head- quarters interpreted the governor's re- marks to the voters as an accusation | ;{on:);gotry against the State of Okla- “Sectarianism” Scored. This argument goes on, along with talk of Tammany, prohibition arld many other things. The Democrats have put out a cartoon representing Mrs. Wille- ‘brandt running amuck with a firebrand labeled ‘Sectarianism.” And the ac- companying text apprises the voters that &he hand and hoof has been shown.” n the literature of the R - cans and the anti-Smith Der;g:l:]:s the Tammany Tiger appears in many feracious attitudes. ' The Smith people saythey have brought many straying | Democrats into the fold since Gov. | Smith came to Oklahoma, but the Re- g:mcdanls declare that if Smith has in some las:ain L qQuarters, he also has any Protestant ministers aj women have been active in t?x‘: rg:r‘:x): paign for Hoover. Of the sixty-nine | persons whose names appear on the let- i terhead of the anti-Smith Democratic | organizations as members of its execu- | tive committee, 34 are identified as ministers of the gospel. Nine are women. The list includes the State ' head of the Anti-Saloon League and the State head bf the Women’s Chris- tian ‘Temperance Union. | r. J. B.

Both former Sen- ator Owen and Senator Curtis, the Re- publican nominee for Vice President, have Indian blood, and the Republicans are asking for complete racial support. But the Democrats are arguing that when he was in the Hol a quarte of a century ago, Curtis did the numer- ous Cherokees a great injustice by fathering a bill compelling them to reallot their lands. He casts 40,000 or 50,000 votes in Okla- homa and this time he is enjoying the of not having his ballot taken for granted. The Democrats are making an impressive effort to swing the bulk of the black men’s support out of its customary Republican berth. Do You Know How to VOTE BY MAIL?
