Tim Farmer-Labor Reconstruction
league through Its oxecutlvo board
which tins been In session horo for
two day Issued a mate men t today
In which It announces that It will
enact tho demands of tho Shawnee
platform Into law. It expect oppo-
sition In the forthcoming session of
the legislature but promise a par-
tial criuCtrriuiit of tUv full piiiiu
and a completa fulfillment of the
program by the legislature elected
two years hence. Mcanwnllo It Is to
organize for finishing tho Job.
The statement Is address "to the
farmers and laborers of OklStiomn"
and openn with the following discus
slon of the recent victory of the
league:
"On November 7. the greatest vic-
tory for the producers of the wealth
ofvthe world ever recorded In this
tte wj won. The Indorsees of the
Farmer-Labor Reconstruction league
led by your sterling champion. Jack
"Walton overwhelmed the bulwnrK
of special privilege and prlvato
reed the grain and cotton gam-
blers and the chambers of com-
merce who would exploit the farm-
ers and wage earners and smothered
them with an avalanche of votes the
llko of which was never before wit-
nessed In Oklahoma. Not only In
Oklahoma but In many other states
from coait to coast and from Can-
ada to Mexico the common people
rose In their might and struck down
tho dcspotlcrs of tho people who per-
form the useful work of the world
and they did It regardless of party
nnd In spite of the nm-t stupendous
expenditure of money ever made In
an endeavor to tighten the chains on
a free people. It was a wonderful
victory and leaves no room to doubt
that the farmers and laborers have
at last awakonod.
Victory Not Complete.
"Rut that victory while decisive
Is not complete It cannot be com-
plete until wo havo taken full ad-
vantage of It and enacted Into law
those things In our program that
are so vital to tho wolfaro of the
common people. What does It profit
the farmers and wago earners to
elect good men to office and then
abandon them.
The minions of special prlvilegt?
will be In the lobbies of the legisia-
turo In January plentiful) supplied
with money and they will fight
Just. as hard to rctnln their unfair
advantage an they fought to secure
thoso advantages. Wo must stand
behind our stalwart leadir and ou-
sts him with every ounce of strength
at Our commanding In doing tho
things that wo placed him In office
to do. The farmers and laborers
of each state senatorial and repre-
sentative district must be constantly
al -t and keep their organization In
working order ami mum give their
legislators to understand that they
meant what they said at Shawnee
and that they mean to have tho
things thoy demanded thore."
Tho address goes Into the pri-
mary campaign statement of J C.
Walton dealing with the farmers
problems and pledging definite help
nnd quotes liberally from Ills pre-
nomination statements. It then con-
tinues: "Tho executive . board of tho
farmer-labor reconstruction league
does not purpose that the leaguo
shall die and leavo us work only
begun. Tho executive board Insists
that the work of the league has
Just commonced and must be car-
ried to a final conclusion and that
tho program upon which the people
elected Jack Walton governor must
In time be placed In full force and
effect."
Work Is Just Begun.
After appealing for organization
to continue the work the manifest
says:
"Tho work of the league during
the next your" years will be to sup-
port aovernor Walton with a united
front In securing the enactment of
tho league program Into law."
Predicting that the whole program
cannot be put through In tho session
this winter on account of hostility
among the membership of the legis-
lature tho statement announces that
"we must enact the mcst urgent de-
mands first and then go before the
people and elect the Tenth legisla-
ture to 'carry out the balance of the
program."
Continuance of organization Is an-
nounced for tho purpose of placing
organized pressure behind members
of the legislature at the coming
session and to elect a favorable
legislature In 1924.

The high court demolished the
claim of tho state that tho fed-

of tho state of Oklahoma that

'citizens of this country tho supremo
court of the United States decided
today. In Its first construction of

ject. The decision was the first de-
livered by Justice Sutherland ns a
member of the court and was bund-
ed down In n case brnuirht bv Tuknn
Ozawa wh In Hit applied for citi-
zenship in Hawaii.
Tho ruling Is expected tn attract
wlda attention not only In the Uni-
ted Slates but abroad mithwlth-
standing the failure of the court to
iiuiku nny reference to Its diplo-
matic significance. The case has
been long pending In the supremo
court and last term when rescued
for argument during the conference
on limitation of armament nnd far

was postponed at the request nf tho
dcpaitmcnt of Justice. No reference
Is tn be found In the decision tn the

The government did not object lo
the (irKUinenl nf thu case uhen It
was reached at this term nnu mo
court advanced and heard at the
samo time tho caso brought by Tn-
kujl Ynmnslilta and Charles Hln
Kono. against the secrotary of state
of the state of Washington. In the
latter case the two Japanese hud
tieen naturnlizcd by a superior court
of Washington prior to lilOl the date
ot tho present reilerai naturalization
stntute. mid ut a limn when It was
conceded section 21 CD of tho revised
statutes which restricted uaiuraii-
ration to "free white persons" nnd
thoso of African birth or descent was
In full force.
In thn Oznwn case the court stated
that "there is not Implied -"either
In the legislation or In our Interpre-
tation of It nny suggestion of Indi
vidual iinwortliliitss or racial In
feriority. Those considerations nro
In no manner Involved" It also re-
ferred to the 'complimentary" terms
used In dnwrlliHii.- In thn naiisrn Pte-
sented to the court "the culture and

tice Sutherland stated could noi en-
ter Into the decision of tho case.
Wo havo no function in mo mai

tain the will of congress and declare

Ths two nuestions ucciaeu oy me
court wero whether tho general nat-
uralization act of Juno 20 1900 was
limited bv thu provisions ot section
2109 nf the Revised Statutes au-
thorizing ttia naturalization' ot "free
white persons" and those of African
l.lnli and descent and whether. If
so limited Japanese were eligible to
naturalization in an exnausuve
analysis of tho history nf the legls-
bitlon the court held that section
2169 was In full force and tnat un-
der It Japanese could nnt obtain cit-
izenship In this country.
Tho court stated that "In all of
the naturalization acts from 1790 to
1904 thn privilege of naturalization
was confined tn while persons (with
tho addition In 1S70 of those of Af-
rican nativity and descent) although
tho exact wording t the various
statutes was not always the same"
"If congress In 100" It added
"desired to alter a rule so well and
so long established It may be as-
sumed that Its purposii would h.io
been definitely disclosed und Its leg.
Islatlon to that end put tn unmlstnk-
able terms."
Declaring that It la the duty nf
tho court "to glvs effect to tho In-
tent of congress" the opinion pro-
ceded to determine the Intent "by
giving the words their natural sig-
nificance" emphasizing tho long es
tablished policy of congress tn re-
strict naturalisation under section
2109 the court found It "Inconceiv-
able that a rule In force from tho be-
ginning of tho government a part ot
our history as well ns our law weld-
ed Into the structure of our national
policy by a century of legislative and
administrative acts and Judicial de-
cisions would have been deprived of
Us force In such a dubious and cas-
ual fashion"
Having sustained section 2183 the
court then proceeded to discuss
whether Japanese are "free write
persona" within the meaning nf the
statute. It was the Intention nf con
gress the court held "to confer the
irlvlleao of citizenship upon thai

Included In the final count by the

It Is understood Attorney-General
Hhnrl spent ono day last woek with
Odell and that the election fraud
were discussed nt length on that oc-
casion. Whether that Interview
prompted Odell nnd Jennings to sale
the attorney-general for a format
ptiblln opinion could not be learned
Monday.

member who brought thn olectlnn

quiesced In the request to take the

llevlng that official will sustain his
contention that tho palpable fraud

Held Kecrct Session.
The decision to appeal to the nt-lorney-general
wns reached during n
star chamber session nf the else
Hon board In tho courthouse from
which evoryonq but members was
barred.
Odell and Jennings declared the
hoard must accept the precinct tally
nlieelH as submitted tu It. However
they would not tako a definite posi-
tion tu this offect Monday pre-
ferring lo go to tho attornoy-generai.
It Is certain tlicro .vlll be contests

Additional evidence nf crnnksdnesj
In certifying pieclnct returns to tho
board was furnished Monday by offi-
cials f i oin precinct No. 2 Mounds

ford counters. '
According to this affidavit EU

each republican candidate and given
tn each democratic candidate A.
further churgo of forgery looms
against the person or persons that
altered tho totals ns the official
who signed tho affidavit declared to
The World's representative the
sheet turned over to tho election
board wai never signed by them
even though It hears their names.
They wero unable to stato what dls-
pnrltlon r.-aa mads nf the Mii-it
bearing tho true count which was
posted outside the polling place aa
required by law.
Dclimcrnts Refuse lo Rack Up.
The figure used by tho election
board for Drumrlght precinct Np. 1
wAn alleged to be due to mi error
but It means the election or defeat
of Arthur Wilson republican nom-
inee for sheriff. Tho two demo-
cratic members of tho election board
have refused to correct tho error
even In thn face of nn affidavit by
thu Drumrlght precinct election of-
ficials. This affidavit shows that In
counting Wilson's vote two tally
shoet. were usjd. Each sheet con-
tains cunught spaca to count 250
votes. Thero were 42 votes on the)
second sheet making a tntal nf 2D2
but for some reason tho uecond
sheet waa not pasted to tho first and
was locked inside the ballot box.
Tim election board got only the one
sheet leaving iZ Wilson votes un-
counted but tho democratic mem-
ber will not add these. They would
give the election to Wilson by four
votes
Th count In Shannon precinct No.
3 means the election or defeat of H.
S. Williams republican who ran for
re-election to the offlco of county
Judge. The bona fldo tally sheets
from this precinct wero stolen and
fraudulent sheets substituted which
gave the election to Ren Rraden
Williams' democratic opponent.
