OKLAHONA HOTLY CONTESTED STATE Both Republicans and Demo- crats Are Gaiming Victory Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 15 P =<1t anyone is longing for a taste of the good old-fashioned brand of scorching politics, he has but to come to Oklahoma in the final weeks of this campaign. Vast Dispute The state is in the grip of the vast dispute over 8mith and Hoover, running to issues of the most pep- pery character, and embracing many recognized uncertainties. Although in mid-October both sides are pre- dicting victory, they, both talk of shifting tides and a still silent vote, which is another way of saying that no one has been quite able to fa- thom all that may be going on be- neath the frothy surface. Not “Volceless” In the past there has been much talk of “whispering” in Oklahoma, but certainly at this stage the cam- paign is far from voiceless, It chal lenges attention in unexpected wa: Alighting from a train here in the state capital, the Aasociated Press reporter encountered an extremely vocal pack of newaboys, 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?” Busy Scene Nor does this incident over-draw the picture. The rival party head- quarters are not decorous, roller- bearing political sanctums so com- mon to latter day campaings. They are crowded with animated and very dusy workers. Tables and floors are strewn with a disarray kind® of campaign literature. In the entrance halls and on the sidewalks outside stand knots of voters argu- ing it out to their own satisfaction. There s about it all something of the distrait appearance of a hotel lobby at political convention time, Religion Is Answer The inggirer who asked at demo- —*:-—_n Kidney, - Bladder, Prostate Trouble Getting Up Nights, Pains, Burning, Etc.

Oklahoma has voted for but one republican for president, and that was in the Harding land- slide in 1920. Four years ago, in the Coolidge landslide, the state gave Davis 255,798; Coolidge 226,242 and LaFollette 41,141, but in that same election, on an entirely different set of issues, it elected a republican senator by a margin of 145.000, Seven Democrats BSeven of the eight congressional districts are represented in the house at Washington by democrats. It so happens that interest in the McNary-Haugen bill was centered In one republican district, comprising the 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 qnce a strong klan state, Out After Smith Four days after Smith was nomin- ated at Houston, “The Anti-Smith democratic organization of Oklaho- ma” set out to defeat him. Shortly afterward Former Senator Robert L. Owen, bolted to the republicans. Both Smith and Hoover lost import- ant 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 Governor John- ston, and plus also an effort to re- | vive the once powerful klan, was to greatly encourage the republicans and to lead some democratic p ticians to look upon Oklahoma with much misgiving. Chairman Raskob insisted, however, that the state was fair fighting ground and three weeks ago Governor Smith came to Oklahoma City, assailed former Sen- ator Owen and denounced the cam- paign against his record and his re- ligion, \ Blame Democrats ‘The spcech of the democratic nominee here was followed by an appreciable increase in the activity of the state democratic headquarters which seconded his stand by charg- ing openly that the Hoover cam- paign in Oklahoma 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 remarks to the voters as an accusa- tion of bigotry against the state of Oklahoma, This argument goes on, along with talk of Tammany, prohibition and GIRLS!

The democrats have put out & cartoon representing Mrs. Willebrandt running amuck with a firebrand labelled “sectarian- ism,’ ‘and the accompanying text apprises the voters that *“the hand and hoof has been shown.” In the literature of she repub- licans and the anti-Smith democrats, the Tammany tiger appears in many ferocious attitudes. The Smith peo- ple say they have brought many straying democrats inte the fold since Governor 8mith came to Okla- homa. but the republicans declare that if Smith has gained in some quarters, he also has lost in others. Clergy Active Many Protestant churches and many women have been active in the campaign for Hoover. Of the €9 persons whose names appear on the letterhead of the anti-Smith demo- cratic organizations as members of its executive committee, 34 are iden- tified as ministers of the gospel. Nine are women. The list includes the state head of the Anti-Saloon league and the state head of the Women's Christian Tempérance Union. Strong Organization Dr. J; B.

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 1eceiving many additional pledges daily. The two parties are disputing over the 50,000 or so Indian votes in the state, and this dispute has produced an issue all its own. Both former Senator Owen and Senator Curtis, the republican nominee for vice president, have Indian bléod, and the republicans are asking fer complete racial support but the democrats are arguing that when he was in the house, a quarter of a century ago, Curtis did the numerous Cherokees a great injustice by fathering a bill compelling them to reallot their lands. Negro Not Overlooked Nor is the negro overlooked in 1928, He casts 40,00 or 50,000 votes in Oklahoma and this time he is enjoying the unique experience here, lot taken for granted. The demo- crats are making an impressive ef- fort to swing the bulk of black men's support out of its customary republican berth, MRS.
