OKLAHOMA CERTAIN FOB OK DESPITE /SENATORIAL EIGHT I BY DAVID LAWRENCE Special Leased Wire to Tbe Journal —Copy- < '■ - right, 1924.) 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 i> be elected, which makes up a ma- Jrity of the court, and the thought * being distributed among Demo 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 ere and a socialist movement. It as been somewhat obscure and asn’t always gone to the polls be ause of the known futility of that rrand.

CDDLIOGE DODGED 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 ABOUT TRUST CO. DEAL SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.—Sena tor Burton K. Wheeler, independent candidate for vice president, in an address here last night, demanded that President Coolidge explain his connection with the “Cosmopolitan Trust deal,” in Boston, in 1920, or withdraw his candidacy. • “The Republican senator from lowa, Smith W.

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.

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.” Dies Under Monument He Was Hauling to Grave of His Father CARNESVILLE, Ga., Oct. 13.
