A SOLEMN REFERENDUM ,
Why didn't Woodrow Wilson ask for a "solemn ref-
erendum" before he plunged this country into the war?
The Socialist party did.
Hut neither Wilson, nor the republican party, dared
to risk a referendum—solemn or otherwise.
Why did he not ask for a referendum before his re-
publican-democratic congress decreed conscription at his
behest?
Why did he not ask for a referendum before he had
his republican-democratic rubber stamps approve the in-
famous Espionage Law? ft created 700,000 official spies
in this country. It encouraged yellow paint brigades,
and terrorism against loyal citizens and innocent aliens.
In order to make peace, however—peace even two
gears after the armistice was signed on the basis of the
fourteen lies—Wilson wants a "solemn referendum."
Give it to him on November 2. And make it very
solemn. Solemn enough to remind Harding and the re-
publican senators and congressmen that theg had voted
for all these measures. That they helped Wilson plunge
us into the uar; that they helped to create terrorism, the
high cost of living, profiteering and panics; that theg
helped to take away our liberty of speech, our free press,
and our right to free assemblage.
Incidentally, Mr. and Mrs. Voter, also remind your
neighbor that a vote for the republican ticket is an in-
dorsement of all these things. That such a vote is an
indorsement of the war, of the Espionage Act and of the
yellow paint brigade.
For these reasons the safe thing and the only thing
to do is to vote the Socialist ticket straight; and it is also
the only protest vote. There is no other.
Make it a "solemn referendum," men and women of
Oklahoma.
BODY
STATE 1ST CORK
Lord Mayor's Casket Resting
In City Hall Where In Life
He Presided.
CORK, Oct. 30.—(By United j
Press.)—Terence MacSwiney's body
j lay in state today in the city hall;
| where.in life he had presided as lord j
mayor of £ork.
After a day in which the casket I
was the cause of fist fights, after it j
had been rejected by Irish officials
at QuQenstown and Cork, the lord j
mayor's remains rested in a place
of honor. They were claimed by
relatives last night only after mili-
tary forces had threatened burial in j
, the Cork barrackB.
Cork was quiet today. Additional
soldiers were brought to quell pos-
sible outbreaks but apparently the
(extra forces were not necessary. Au-
thorities' made strict regulations re-
garding the funeral services which
will be held tomorrow.
I The funeral procession was limit-
ed to one quarter of a mile and no
military display will be permitted.
I The MacSwiney mourning party
I reached Cork yesterday several
hpurs after the lord mayor's caskot j
had arrived at Queenstown and then j
been forwarded here by an admiralty
| tug. The party included the may*
or's relatives and leading Sinn Fein-!
!era, including Art O'Brien of London j
and Arthur Griffiths, acting presl-
! dent.
i The family attitude was at first
that the government had engaged
in bodv snatching in forcibly remov-j
tng MacSwiney's body from the fu-
neral train at Holyhead yesterday
and forwarding it to Cork instead of I
permitting it to be landed in Dublin
for a funeral demonstration.
The Sinn Feiners, acting on this
theory, refused to take the initiative I
in reclaiming the body on arrival i ^
here. At Queenstown a large crowd Socialist Presidential Candidate Declares That the Republi-
can and Democratic Parties Are Equally the Servants
of Wall Street and Declares That the Earth's
Resources Are for All the People.

Sign Check to Captors for
$25,000 He Says.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 30— Assert-
ing he had been held prlsonor in a
farm house near this city, tortured
and forced to sign a check for
$25,00u, Joseph Alexander, wealthy
Fort Smith, Ark., stockman, made
his escape this morning and report-
| ed the matter to the police.
Mrs. Margaret Taber, St. Louis, a
friend of his. was also held prisoner.
Alexander told the police. The
check, he Faid, was taken tova local
bank and deposited by the woman
Alexander's escape was spectacu-
lar. A man usually slept with him
He awoke at 3 a. ra. The guard was
asleep. He rolled out of bed and
loosened his feet. He climbed
through an open window on the
first iloor. The prints of bare feet
were later found In the wet grass
outside tho window.
A butcher to whom he appealed to
untie his hands thought he was
crazy and fled. A farmer finally un-
tied his hands and took -him to
Sheriff Bopp of S . Ixmis county, to
whom he poured out his story.
Bopp hurried to the house apd
found it deserted.
Date With Mrs. Tuber.
Mrs. Taber was found at her home
in the city. She said the man who
had been guarding Alexander awoke
and gave the alarm. She was taken
to her home in her night clothes.
Mrs. Taber is being held pending
investigation.
Alexander told the police that he
had known Mrs. Taber for several
years and told her he was coming to
St. I/)ufs on business last week. She
was to meet him at the Union Sta-
tion. When he arrived Monday
morning he was met by five men
who had been sent by Mrs. Taber.
Alexander asserted he accom-
panied them to an automobile. At
the edge of the city the men drew
revolvers and threatened him If he
made an outcry. They tied his
hands, gagged and bound him, ac-
cording to Alexander. They took him
to rooms on the second floor of the.
farm house. The gag was only re-
moved to feed him. He was beaten
frequently.
Knew He Was Wealthy.
Alexander stated the men told him
they knew he was worth $100,000. Ha
protested he did not have the $2f>,000
they demanded. On Tuesday Alex-
ander claims to have signed a
check for that amount rm the bank
of Fort Smith, Ark. He said he
scribbled the signature in an effort
to inalfi: it appi ar a forgery.
Alexander said Mrs. Taber w*ts
brought to the house before he
signed the check. She was brought
Into his room with her hands bound.
She told him, he said, the men
threatened her if she did not com-
ply with their wishes.
The men came to her house, she

"PICKETING"
USED IN THE
GRAIN STRIKE
WICHITA, Kan., Oct. 30.—Picket-
ing has made its appearance in tho
wheat strike" on the farmers' or-
ganized effort to hold their grain
from the market until it reaches $3,
according to reports reaching na-
tional headquarters of the Wheat
Growers' association of the United
States.
First reports of the farmers bor-
rowing this weapon of union labor
came from Harper. When one farm-
er drove into that town yesterday
with a. load of wheat he was met by
"picketing"' neighbors who finally
won him over to their grain embargo
plan.
The Wheat Growers association Is
planning to finance those farmers
who must sell some of their wheat
to meet their financial obligations.
Secretary MacGreevey says if the
farmers will only co-operate for a
short time they will get enough more
for their crop to pay for all their
trouble.
FOR DEMOCRATS
State Treasurer Asks $25
From 611 Oklahoma State
Bartks.
State Treasurer Arthur N. Lee-
craft has levied a campaign assess-
ment of $25 against each of the 611
state banks in Oklahoma to swell the
democratic state campaign cash box.
More exactly tlie system is this
While not all of the banks wero
assessed, (as those which have small
amounts of state money on deposit
wero not considered to be in on tho
tithing) those bitpks having large
sums on deposit were assessed above
the $2f> basis, and that will brifig lin-
net total to the fund In excess of
$16,000, providing the assessments
are paid and the spirited manner In
which the treasurer addressed his
"constituents" indicates that prompt
and appropriate replies will be forth-
coming.
In a conversation over the tele-
phone wi '.i a "Coalgate banker," at
4 o'clock Friday afternoon. Leecraft
explained the system In detail and
was very anxious to know whether
the assessment would be forwarded
that day or whether his department
could draw a sight draft and have it
honored.
Rewards Totalling $35,000
Hang Over Head of Cap-
tured Tom Slaughter.
WICHITA. Kan., Oct. 30.—Plans
of three bandits to loot the Cedar-
vale State bank at Cedarvale, Kan.,
today, in a daylight robbery, came to
an unexpected end yesterday after-
noon with the first capture In Chau-
tauqua county of Fulton Green,
Frauk Glvens and no^rlous Tom
Slaughter, 27, murderer and bank
robber, over whose head hangs re-
wards totaling $35,000.
Slaughter confessed after a short
grilling, that he is the man who
killed Deputy Sheriff Roy Brown
near Hot Springs, Ark., October 10
and that h«' has robbed ten banks
lu the last few years.
Capture of Slaughter was effected
by Sheriff J. H. Powell of Chautau-
qua county. Rewards totaling from
$25,000 to $35,000, are known to be
outstanding for the capture of the
three men.
Greene and Glvens, tho other two,
were arrested by John Hines, depu-
ty sheriff at 5 o'clock yesterday oil
a road near Cedarvale, in a Ford car.
hey offered little resistance. All
three men were heavily armed.
Slaughter Is 27 years old, Glvens 25,
and Greene 22.
Authorities In the middle west
had been looking for Slaughter and
his companions for some time. An
Intensified search In northern Ok-
lahoma anil southern Kansas had
been carried on in the la«t two
weeks, following the robbing of the
Alluwe State bank in northern Ok-
lahoma, October 15, of $5,000 by a
man believed to be Slaughter. He
escaped In a motor car.
How thoroughly the three had
planned the robbery of the Cedar-
vale bank this morning was indi-
cated by the finding of three horses
in the timber near Cedarvale, loaded
down with Winchester rifles and re-
volvers. The horses were to have
been used for the escape, the ban-
dits evidently having forsaken the
automobile. The horses had been
stolen at Burbank. Okla.
Slaughter's record, he admits, in-
cludes* the robbing of three banks In
Texas, one In Louisville, one in
Mississippi, one in Tennessee, one In
Kentucky, two in Oklahoma and one
in Arkansas.
On September 10, 1919, the Chau-
tauqua State bank at Sedan was
robbed of $15,000. Although Slaugh-
ter admits no connection with this,
an attempt is being made to iden-
tify him as one of the robbers.

ceived yet another letter which
serves to indicate its growing
influence in the state and the
determination of many not to

Oklahoma City.
The letter which follows was

J. W. Maney. president of the state
' council qf the Friends of Irish Free- j
1 dom, said Saturday:
"This is a time when every per-
son who is friendly to the cause of
Irish freedom should lay aside what-
ever religious bias he may have, and
i join with his fellow man in doing
1 honor to Terence MacSwiney, the
I Irishman and the man.
' "The religious ceremony is per-
formed in a Catholic church, because
; MacSwiney was of that faith, but the
' cause of Iiish freedom is an Irish-
man's cause no matter what his be-
; lief. We expect at least 600 citi-
j zens ot Oklahoma City to be present
at the spectacle of a free people do-
ing homage to a martyr in freedom's
cause and the inspiration that will
be gotten from such a sight will
strengthen that brave race in the
