OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct. 11.
lohn W. Davis is reasonably sure of
Oklahoma's electoral vote. When
he Democratic voters are apathetic
his state sometimes turns upside
town. There's no such danger in
.924, as the fight for and against
firmer Governor J. C. Walton,
tominee for the United States sen
,te. is making Oklahoma sit up and
.-.ike notice.
.When Robert L. Owen, Democrat,
nd the /present senior senator from
‘Oklahoma sees fit to call on the
Democrats of the state to repudiate
iMalton and cast their votes for his
opponent, W. B. Fine, Republican,
’tune idea of the intensity of the
■attle may be conveyed to the out
ide world.
Walton won in the Democratic
irimaries as a minority candidate,
le has raised the anti-klan issue.
• Newspapers like the Daily Okla
ioman, which are and have been
.nti-klan, decline to allow that is
-■tie to influence their feelings about
cValton’s candidacy, so one finds
tere the spectacle of most of the
Democratic newspapers supporting
ohn IV. Davis and the Democratic
icket, lut bolting the Democratic
tominee on the senatorship.
Walton’s impeachment and his
ecord in. office are given by Senator
iwen as reasons for refusing to sup
ort the man nominated to succeed
:m. Naturally a row inside the
Jemocratic party has its dangers.
Tessure is being put on many old
ne Democrats to vote for the whole
icket, including Walton, the argu
tent being made that defections in
ne place, might lead to others and
hat carry with it a certain
eril to the Democratic nominees
or supreme court judges. Six are

rats that if the Republicans win
he court they will knock out the
iin Crow laws, a subject on which
iklahoma is as tender as South
'arolina or any other state of the
olid south.
Senator La Follette will get a big
ote, perhaps 400,000. This would be
ttle less than a fifth of the total
ote expected to be cast. But there
I ways has been a farmer-labor vote

IMD DE ENDING
BIG BOSTON STRIKE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—The
Democratic national committee to
day issued a statement charging
that President Coolidge, when gov
ernor of Massachusetts, did not par
ticipate in breaking the Boston po
lice strike in 1919 or in the restora
tion of law and order in Boston *t
that time.
On the contrary, the committee de
clared, Mr. Coolidge remained aloof
until order had been restored.
The committee's statement was
prepared by Colonel Stephen Bonsai,
writer, after an “independent, impar
tial investigation,” and according to
the committee, “is based upon the
official records and correspondence
relating to the strike and events
leading thereto.”
Bonsai and the committee give
to the then mayor of Boston, An
drew J. Peters, full credit for deal
ing with the strike situation and
refute contentions that Governor
Coolidge played the part that his
responsibility required him to play.
Summarizing its statement, the
committee said:
“It charges that he (Mr. Coolidge)
avoided taking any part in the con
troversy during the critical hours
immediately preceding the strike
and riots, when the citizens com
mittee of 34 leading men of Boston,
appointed by the mayor to help
solve the problem, advised him that
‘an avoidable strike was impending.’
“The committee also charges that
Governor Coolidge was repeatedly
appealed to by mayor and citizens'
committee to take congnizance of
the critical conditions that led up
to the strike and. actual rioting but
that he declined to do anything.
“In Boston, ft- is pointed out, the
police are under a commissioner ap
pointed by the governor, which fact
gave Governor Coolidge definite re
sponsibility, not only as chief execu
tive of the state, but as actual, re
sponsible head of the Boston police
department.
“It Recites that it was Mayor An
drew J. Peters, and not Governor
Calvin Coolidge who actually met
the crisis, dealt with it by coura
geous, drastic action and restored
law and order.
“Governor Coolidge, It was stated,
was urged by the mayor and the citi
zens’ committee to call out the state
guard as a preventive measure when
the strike and probable rioting and
disorder were a matter of only a
few hours, but did not do so.
“The strike came and rioting and
disorder followed as anticipated.
Mayor Peters ordered out the state
guard located in Boston under au
thority of an ancient statute, never
previously invoked, but only after
rioting had started (which under the
law, must be the conditions under
which he could act) and only after
Governor Coolidge had failed to or
der out the state guard as a preven
tive measure.”
WHEELER DEMANDS FACTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.—Sena
tor Burton K. Wheeler, independent
candidate for vice president, in an
address here last night, demanded

EBENSBURG, Pa., Oct. 11.—Five
armed bandits today shot and killed
.Tames Gorman, an American Rail
way express messenger, seriously
wounded Joseph Davis, a bank mes
senger, and escaped with a $40,000
payroll at a remote spot on the Cam
bri aand Indiana railway, near here.
Sheriff L. M. Keller, of Cambri?
county, organized a posse here and
went in pursuit.
The bandits boarded a gasoline
j propelled combination coach of the
’railway, a subsidiary of the New
York Central at Rexis. They took
j seats immediately behind the mes
sengers. As th<= car made its way
(toward a pass in the mountains the
I bandits went into action. The mo
torman was ordered tn stop the car
and as he applied the brakes the
bandits opened fire on the messen
gers, killing Gorman and wounding
• Davis. They then' gathered up two
satchels, containing the money, and
escaped in an automobile awaiting
nearby.
The payroll was for the miners of
(the Cambria and Indiana company
at Colver. It was sent from the
' First National bank, of Ebensburg.

OF CUBE TO BE
HELD HERE DEC. 3
NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 13.—One
of the greatest church conferences
in the history of the world’ will
gather in Atlanta December 3 to 9,
ror the quadrennial meeting of the.
federal council of the Churches of
Christ in America.
Leaders say that it will be the
most representative conclave of
churchmen in years, 1 and that its de
liberations will have far-reaching
effects in all denominations.
More than 20,000,000 communi
cants are included in the churches
that will be represented at the gath
ering. The policies of the churches
in their joint work and their rela
tion to eaxh other for the coming
four years will be the chief subject
of deliberation.
Under its constitution the federal
council is a. co-operative organiza
tion, through which the churches
do the things which they can do bet
ter together than alone.
The men who will attend are not
only leaders in their
churches, but also in the general
religious, movement in America. In
addition, there will be outstanding
representatives from overseas, in
cluding England, Germany and Cze
ch o-Slovakia.
This will be the first time that
the gathering has ever been held
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
Os the 28 communions composing
the council, two are distinctively
southern church bodies, the Presby
terian church in the United States
and the Methodist Episcopal church,
south.
The meeting will mark the end of
the term of Dr. Robert E. Speer,
of New York', as president. Under
the constitution he cannot succeed
himself. In a brief statement as to
the importance of the meeting, Dr.
Speer said:
“A quadrennial session of the fed
eral council of churctes always
marks an important stage in the de
velopment of the movement for
Christian co-operation. The session
this year has even more than ordi
nary significance because of the sol
id progress made during the last
four years and the importance of
considering how these gains may he
consolidated and the .interdenomina
tional movement developed further
in away which will command the
full loyalty and support of the
churches.”
