" Q. Under the covenant can htis

ermncnt whose peoples oek to achieve

" 'A. The independent aciion of the
gr. en.mrnt of the l'm'ed Slates In
a mutter of this kind is in no way
limited or affected by the covenant
of the league of nations.'
'"Q. Under the covenant are those

Purported Democratic
Newspaper Is Really a
Spreader of Republican
Propaganda in State
Oklahoma City Sept. 29. "The
.Teffersonlan" a weekly newspaper
purporting to be financed by Demo-
crats is the pet propaganda organ
of the Republican state central com-
mittee and is paid for by a Republican
leader with Republican campaign
funds according to a direct state-
ment made yesterday by the chair-
man cf the Democratic state cam-
paign committee.
"The Jeffersonlan" edited by Clark
Hudson claims under its masthead
to be an organization of "Oklahoma
Democrats who will take an active
part in the campaign against machine
rule In the Democratic paj-ty and op-
pose the league of nations."
Citing hundreds of letters from sup-
porters of Senator Gore pledging
their support of the Democratic ticket
and naming a list that Included prac-
tically all of the senator's campaign
leaders who have voluntered their
services as campaign speakers the
chairman declared that the efforts
of the Republicans to create discord
in the Democratic ranks through the
medium of n few "meal-ticket Demo-
crats" has failed utterly. The chair-
man pointed out that a man who
had always been affiliated with the
Democratic party was selected as
editor of The Jeffersonlan to "lend
color to the scheme."
"T charge that Republican leaders
Instigated and are backing this in-
sidious propaganda." the chairman
declared. "I charge that a Republican
leader paid for the printing of The
Jeffersonlan the mouthpiece of Re
publican misrepresentation disguised
as a Democratic organ.
"It Is only one of their attempts
to poison the wells of Democracy
through false statements.. k If. which
I doubt the Jeffersonlan club hus
enlisted the support of any Demo-
crats these recruits will turn In
righteous wrath upon those who
would make them the servile tools
of the Republican machine.
"When they realize that the dema-
gogic misrepresentation being fed
them through "The Jeffersonlan" is
paid Republican propaganda they will
be quick to resent the trickery."

having made the positive statement
that ho will If elected exert every

Volstead act amendment IS to the
federal constitution which declares
the manufacture and traffic In intox-
icants illegal Governor Cox today
sweeps In a broad setni-circlo into
the states of Missouri and Kansas
in both of which tho liquor matter is
still considered a live Issue.
Only three addresses were on today's
program. The fir.st at St. Joseph Mo.
In the early afternoon was to be fol-
lowed by one at Atchison Kan. !at
In the afternoon and at Topeka the
statu capital In the evening. In a
statement issued this morning and
which was expected to form the basis
of his Missouri and Kansas siieeches
today Governor Cox again severely
criticised his republican opponent for
having 'no definite plan lo offer in
substitution for the league of nations"
He said In part:
ftarding's Reasons
"The reasons Senator Harding has
no definite plan lo offer In nubslitu-
lion for the league of nations is because-
he dots not d'ire suggest to
the mothers of America the only
illornat Ive there Is: namely a return
to international normally of 1914.
with autocratic mon.-irelis nnd nud-
iltn ultimatums and recret diplo-
macy ami burdeiii.ome armaments.
"Of course tlie reason Senator Hard-
Irlg has no substitute to suggest for
the league of nations because every
thing else lias been tiled and has
failed. The Intcr-par'lamentiiry union
held International conferences for n
decade before the great war The
Hague court has been fun. 'Honing for
more than 1'S years but both were
impotent to prevent or even postpone
the catastrophe. And ns for the great
alliance instead of preventing war
liy a balance of power they provoked
war by the multiplication of urms
and ammunition of battle fleets nnd
standing armies.
At Destiny's Cross-road
"Wo are at the cross romls of des-
tiny and must make our decision. We
must choose either to retrace our
steps over tho broad road of Inter-
national anarchy which we have seen
lends to destruction or we must choose
to odvance nnd travel along the
straight and narrow path of Interna-
tional Justice put rolled by the moral
might of the clvl'lxed nations of the
world"

Coalgate Okla. Sept. 29. (Special)
Citing an editorial in the Toledo
Ohio Pioneer a negro journal which
urged race equality and made an
energetic appeal to the negroes to
unite at the polls Miss Cora Smith
secretary anfi member of the state
board of vocational education declar-
ed here Tuesday that this course
strikes at the very heart of white su-
premacy nnd urged that democratic
women of Coal county organize
thoroughly in order to combat the ef-
fort of the republicans to poll a
large negro vote.
"You wl'l remember" Miss Smith
said "that Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge introduced the Force bill in
the house of representatives In 1SS9
and secured its passage in thut body
but it was defeated in the senate by
the filibuster of the great southern
and some fair-minded western sen-
ators. "If Senator Harding and the re-
publican nominees for the house and
senate are elected an effort will again
be made to pass a force bill which
will mean federal bayonets to sup-
ervise southern election.
You remember that before state-
hood when we had negroes in the leg-
islature and had one in our state de-
partment. Do you want to see negroes
represent you again? Do you want the
Jim Crow law repealed? Do you wish
to have your child occupy a seat in
school with a negro cnlld to be
taught by a negro teacher as they are
in Kansas Illinois ana several of the
northern states?
"I believe in giving the negroes
equal advantage comfort and educa-
tion but I do not want them to rep-
resent me and I ojii mire you do
not
"You will be told b the republicans
that they will not repeal these laws In
tills slate. You .can only judge the fu-
ture b tho past In 1919 we had two
negro members of the assembly in
this state elected In republican dis-
tricts by republican votes.
"The Tying squadron that recently
went through tho northern part of
this state composed of republican
women from the north represent the
republican party visited my home
town Oklahoma City. They had with
them a negro woman who was busy
organizing the negro women while
the white women held meetings up
town.
"In Tulsa there are several hun
dred negro women registered."
"Now I want to ask you ladies if
some one elso is going to cast your
vote for you? Do you not feel that It
is your patriotic duty to register and
vote Just as patriotic an your war
work and Just as Important for it
means the protection of your homes
and of your race.
