Ten days ago moot democrats regarded Governor Walton as a social-
ist and most socialists regarded him as a Moses Today most social
kts place him lower down the scale than a soap manufacturer while
tire democrats have not changed their view® And a o:inli®t is a darned

The Oklahoma Leaderormerly Governor Walton’s staunchest sup-
porter now brand® hitn as a weakling traitor companion of crooks
ajl several other things It gives what purports to be some inside dope
on the financing of the last Democratic campaign and the purchase of
his Oklahoma City home by the governor If the Leader knew all these
tilings it is strange that it kept everything dark as long as the governor
went according to its ideas The attitude of the Leader is that a crook
w all right as long a he is on its side hut a very dangerous citizen when
he turns his crookedness against its pet notions — Ada News

Senator Fees said in a ?pe--h before a republican club in Cincinnati
Ohio a few days ago: "The farmer is sore and he is not pleased to he
Sold the cause of the situation and th® remedy Unfortunately the So-
cialistic tendencies of the last dozen jears ha? enu-ed him to look to the
government for Jrelief So lot g a? uia'i®factory conditions prevaI
from whatever cau®e he exDct® bgislaion to cue it’
This was a harsh condemnation of the farmer Lr wanting a share of
rilse legislation the Republican a iministratiou was eager to give to trusts
rxrxl combines — including the shipping trust to which it was willing to
vote a total of $750000000 in subsidies
’When a citizen can’t sell at a gl price and must buy at a high
t iice he lie ens to this sort of "twaddle” said Senator Fess referring
uwlerhat he called "demagogue’ ’ to increase the pri:es of agricultural
jiproducti The preaent administration enacted two tariff laws under
m£j pretence that they were to "stimulate the prices of agricultural
products and "safeguard American staridarda of labor and of living'

vtirae they are paying more for their clothing fuel oil furniture lum
'fr hardware tools and imp'ementa than they were before these tariff

THE SOUL OF AMERICA
By Dahy Doug’ass Barr
I am cothed with wisdom’s mantle
Age and experience are mine
Yet I am still in the swaddling
clothes of my existence
I am strong lieyond my years
My hand typifies strength
And although untrained in cunning
Its movements mark the quaking
Of the enpmies of my country
My eye though covered is all-seeing
It penetrates the dark recesses of
law violation
Treason political corruption and
injustice
Causing these cowardly culprits to
bare their unholy faces
In the light of my all seeing
revelations
My vi-ionjis so broad
That my daily meditations force
upon me new problems
New situations and new obligations
My feet are swift to carry the
strength of my hand
And the penetrations of my all-
seeing eje
My nature is serious righteous and
just
And tempered with the love of
Christ
My purpos-e is noble far reaching
andngela®ting
My heart is heavy but not relent-
ing Sorrowful hut not hcpeles
Fure but ever able to master the
unclean
Humble but not cowardly
Strong but not arrogant
Simple but not foolish
Ready without fear
I am the spirit of righteousness
They call me the Ku Klux Klan
I am more than the uncouth role
nnd hood
With which I am clothed
YEA I AM THE SOUL OF
AMERICA
