Leaders Think Political Trend
Will Depend on Governor
Proving His Charges.
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 26.—With
an unralstakablo air of confidence
Governor Jamen M. Cox today
sped across Indiana and Ohio to
prove his charie that a $15,000,000
fund is sought to elect Senator
Harding to the presidency. Ho
promised to mak- good his charges
in the republican stronghold or
Pittsburg.
Political leaders encountered ad-
mitted the whole trend of the presi-
dential battle may 5urn on the gov-
ernor's scheduled "expose ' aud his
answer to the MOfttl investigating
committee s demand for information
to support his chnrges
Cox figure* (.rowing.
From a relUWt source it was
learned that figures Cox Is expected
to reveal will ehow tho republican
financial goal a lew millions more
than }15.00A,(KK). It was believed he
will give allege! Quotas from vari-
ous political districts.
Indicative of uls confident air. the
governor said today:
"I am going lo produce evidence
to prove my charge that the repub-
licans are sekln.c a campaign fund
of at least $15.(M 0 000. 1 shall con-
vince the American people that a
plot has been formed snd a conspir-
acy laid to buy the presidency and
I hazard the guess that on Friday
morning many nun who believed
thin wan a republican "cinch" year
will have chan ed their minds."
Cox Insisted the republican plans
were to extend int 'campaign into
every hamlet."
On his private car today he
carefully prepar>d his speech, using
many tables of figure* in the pro-
cess. The most "precious" of the
tabulations he still carried In his
coat pocket. The governor was due
to reach Pittsburg at 6:50 p. m.
Pittsburg democrats l«ave prepared

Wilburton Officials Flourish
Guns During Encounter—
Arrested and Fined
WILBURTON, Aug. 26.—(Special.)
—Political high tension and the
passing of tho "abort and ugly"
words caused a nourish of guns,
first class slug* I tip match nnd the
fining of the chtuf of police and
sheriff of WUbutton Wednesday.
J. A. Burdlck, chief of poller, and
J. O. Shaw, sheriff, both paid fines
In Squire McCUrdy's court, each
having the other arrested on the
charge of flgh'.lr.ft and disturbing
the peace. Clti sens stood on the
opposite sides of the street near
Shaw's general store and watched
the performance.
According to local Stories there
had been bad blood between the two
officials for some time. The row
Is alleged to huve started when
chief of Police Burdlck ordered
' Shaw's sOn to remove some pack-
ing cases from the sidewalk, charc-
llna he was violating a town ordi-
hftfice. As woris wore progressing
Kherlff Shaw arrived, lie accused
Chief Burdlck lining up the anti
dipping crowd m the county against
Shaw in the recent race for sheriff
Burdlck denied the charge. Both
pulled guns ou* before Burdlck
could shoot young Shaw disarmed
him and handed his revolver to the
sheriff. Young Suaw then sailed
into the city officer with bare fists.
Citlrens lnterfeied before a knock
out blow could be delivered.
The arrest of each official fol
lowed and both plead guilty to the
charge preferrzd.
The Leader Family
By Freda
Of course, we want every Socialist and sympathizer to be a reader
of the Leader. But we want the outsiders, too. Because we want a
big vote this fall and that's the sureat way to get it— boom the leader
subscription list.
Debs is in prison. He is not only the Socialists' candidate for
president He is the candidate of every man and woman who be-
llevea in the constitution. He dared to protest against the destruc-
tion of our rights and fo the destroyerq put him In jail.
Now we must give strength to his protest by rolling up a stag
gerlng vote, we must make his great sacrifice count as it should for
liberty.
And the time Is all too short—only a little better than two months.
How many votes can YOU make in that time? How many Leader
readers will YOU secuie before November 4"
Join our family today and do YOUR part.
"Have you been ov« r the building?" we asked Comrade Mrs. S. E
Ferry, who was In from Outhrle. Monday. "Sure,"' she answered.
"I helped to build this plant!" That's it. And now lets all Jump
in nnd build circulation.
"Send u* a bundle of five or ten copies and I am confident that
we can soon secure a good list of readers,** writes Comrade B. E.
Kenyon of Cuahlug. Sure. a little effort on the part of our friends is
all that's necessary. And we're equal to that, aren't we?
Comrade W. T. Coyle, at Durant, Increases his dally bundle from
10 to 15 copleH. and then promises to double his sales in a week
And you know that promises from Socialists aren't like those handed
out so lavishly by old party politicians. We're depending on you,
Comrade Coyle.
Comrade Walter Edwards, of Bennington, sends in a list of subs
and asks for a bundle of 25 copies ao he can go out and get a larger
list. Shoulders to the wheel all down the line and that big circula-
tion for the Leader la an accomplished fact, that's all. f
Here's the way Kd Wlnterburg, of Cnrmen, one of Alfalfa county's
hardest workers, puts it:
"Fiery class conscious Socialist living In
Oklahnmu should make an effort to take this
paper at once. Some that ! have approached
give a> an excuse to me that their subscription to
some other paper Is paid until some time in the
future, when they will see uie and then subscribe
fur tin OKI] il|h in the Southwest «hl< Ii clil-
plons the cause of labor and the producer. Why
not get rid of this paid In adtance, capitalistic
aud highly distorted news and take on something
to your liking I Bo It today.**
And coma to think of It, the amount lost will be more than made
up for in the satisfaction you will have In reading the kind of a paper
you want.
Comrade W. R. Ray, at Enid, starts off with 25 Leader daily.
Comrade Ray belongs to the tribe of those who make things happen,
has been a Socialist of the working kind for ten years paBt and this
order for 25 Isn't even a hint of what's coming from him.
"Here Is one sub and will try to send in mefc. Have distributed
my samples aud hope to make good with them,** writes Comrade J. W.
l'oshee of Olney. And we know be will, too, because that's all you
have to do to get the Leader subs— try.
From Comrade J. W. Green, at Dewey, comes a subscription and
this note oj good cheer:
-We held a county meeting Sunday, the 22nd,
mainly for the purpose of urging comrades to
subscribe for the Lender. I think you will get
a greut many subscriptions as a result.**
Here is the kind of work which counts—four new subscriptions
with check to cover from Comrade Ira M. Finley, at Elk City. Wanted:
Several thousand Flnleys.
The co-operation from the union men of the Southwest is one of
the most encouraging things about the paper. Here Is a sample:
"Set era I of our members nre taking other
dailies, delivered by newsboys, who desire to
change to Of 11 Leader if same can be handled
by boys. So please send about twenty copies
daily. Send them In ray name until 1 get a hoy
for yon.**—Oscar L. Bagley, secretary of Local
fnlon 1170, 1 nlted Workers of America.
We need Just that sort of co-operation in every town In the
Southwest.
Comrade I«abon Qllges. of Stillwater, starts off with two annual
subs. You can always count on Comrade Gllges because he's always
at work.
From Wilburton, through the good work of Brother James G.
Davidson, we have received $45 on Lender subs. The men there are
paying on the monthly check-off basis through their local unions,
so you see that Brother Davidson's work Is really much bigger than
that $45 Bounds.
Brother J. Hollowell, of Denning, sends in a list of forty-four
from the members of I,ocal Union 1814. The Denning miners are a
fine bunch nnd this substantial evidence of their approval of the
Leader pleases us afl, from the managing editor down to the printer s
devil!

MILWAUKEE WONT HAVE
EX-MINISTER OF HUNGARY
MILWAUKEE. Aug 26. — fcx-rre
micr Husiar of Hungary, who Is said
to be responsible for the Jewish
pogranis in Hungary and the exile
and imprisonment of all known rad-
icals in his land, will not visit Mil-
waukee in his present tour through-
out the United State*.
Huszar has beon notified by tele-
graph that the Hungarians of Mil-
waukee do not want him here.
At a protest meeting held here,
resolutions were adopted protesting
against Huszar's landing in the
United States and denouncing his
plans of coming to Milwaukee. Reso-
lutions were also adopted denounc-
ing the present Hungarian govern-
ment as a reactionary one and call-
ing upon the.people of Hungary to
replace the heads of the present cab-
inet.
The significant thing about the
Huszar meeting was that although
the Jews are the greatest sufferers
of the Huszartan autocratic regime,
yet the protest was organized purely
by non-Jews.
There was not one Jew or Jewess
on the platform and of the hundreds
of people who crowded the hall to
Its utmost capacity and among the
scores who could not enter the
building there were only three Jews
present, two of whom were born In
Hungary.
Verhozai. a strong Hungarian
Catholic society, was prominent

sect* represetned ln the protest
meeting.

You need help—-We
can help you
Every time you lose a man and
have to hire another it costs you
money. Therefore, the fewer
changes you have the better off
you are. Quality and character
in employes have much to do
with the question of changes. If
you can secure the stable, sober,
industrious employe the chances
are he will stay with you perma-
nently. When you need such a
man you should advertise in the
medium which reaches the class
of people you want. Try a
Leader Want Ad and you will be
more than pleased with the re-
sults. -
