that both railroads and workers

POISONED PIES
By Associated Press.
Oklahoma City, Okla., Aug. 1.—
Scattered and meagre reports re-
ceived at headquarters of Oklaho-
ma’s three democratic candidates for
gubernatorial nomination at today’s
primaries, gave little indication up
to one o’clock this afternoon, as to
how ’the votes are being cast.
Managers for all three candidates
professed to see encouragement from
reports received from field wokers,
but these reports were few and gave
little detailed information.
Ail indications point to the heav-
iest vote in the history of Oklahoma,
despite the penetrating rays of the
hot August sun, which sent the ther-'
mometer past the hundred n\jirk in
most parts of the state.
It is estimated that about forty per
cent of the votes are being cast by
women .

dred persons.
Three women are dead who ate at
the restaurant yesterday. Officials
from the medical examiner’s office
reported that a quantity of berry
pies, baked before Abrahamson left
the restaurant’s employ, had been
heavily charged with arsenic.

Oklahoma City, August 1.—Specu-
lation was rife in Oklahoma today,
as to what effect the Ku Klux Klan
vote would have on the state primary
election being held.
This subject was prominent in the
pre-election bustle, being discussed
with more heat as election drew near.
Many politicians declared that the
races for the majority of state and
county offices would be decided by
the Klan vote, if that vote is cast
solidly in one direction.
Sweeping victory for the Klan’.;
candidates in the recent Texas and
Oregon elections show that this or-
ganization is a factor in present-day
politics, observers pointed out.
Next to Texas and Georgia, Okla-
homa is conceeded one of the Klan’s
most important strongholds, with the
state’s membership in that organiza-
tion nearly 100,000, according to
Klan announcements. There are 275
chapters of the secret order in this
state, it was said. With the Klan’s
vote at probably 100,00 and with the
state’s voting strength of 275,000
distributed among a field of candi-
dates, the Klan question is worth
considering.
Committees from the Klair were re-
cently reported as having investigated
the record of all candidates. A list
of the candidates recommended by
these committees was issued, it was
learned. Many of those recommend-
ed by the Klan are not members of
thr%organization it was said, but were
passed on bv character consideration.
R. H. Wilson, democrat, and John
Fields, republican, were the guber-
natorial candidates on the Klan list,
it was said. Practically all offices
have Klan-recommended candidates
in the field.
The strength of the newly organ-
ized “Farmer-Labof Reconstruction
League,” generally called, “Non-par-
tisan League" was also to ^e tested
today. Jack Walton, mayor of Ok-
lahoma City, a democrat, endorsed
by the “League” was generally con-
ceded a strong candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination. He will
receive the labor vote practically in
block, it was predicted.
Wilson, state superintendent of in-
struction, was said to have a strong
following in school and church cir-
cles throughout the state. Thomas
H. Owen, also classed as a strong
candidate in the rural districts, will
receive his votes from the “Anti-
Non-partisanists” and “Anti-Kluxers”
with a large independent vote, ob-
servers said.
In the congressional races the three
democratic and five republican in-
cumbents are seeking ranomination
and re-election against a field of con-
tenders, and have bettor than an even
chance to win in their respective dis-
tricts, it was believed.
The “female” angle is also holding
interest today. Three women ere
seeking seats in the United States
congress. Twenty-one women are
seeking state offices, and numerous
of the “weaker sex” were seeking
