OKLAHOMA FOR HOOVER STRONG ASSERTSJDITOR Predicts 75,000 Majority / on Basis of Dry Issue and Religion. BY CARL C. MAGEE Editor, The Oklahoma News OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 10.—The “net” to be deducted from the “gross” of the complicated political situation in Oklahoma is that Hoover will carry the State by a huge majority—above 75,000. First of all, and last of all, Oklahoma is in what Mencken calls “the Bible belt.” It is in, but not too far in. That is to say, other States in the South are equally fundamentally Protestant and overwhelmingly dry, but the race question and tradtion makes them too strongly Democratic for Hoover to win. The protest in many of these States will take the form of decreased majority for the Democrats. Oklahoma normally is Democratic by about 40,000. But it gave Harding 100,000 majority in 1920 and Senator Pine, Republican, a majority of 140,000 in 1924. Democrat Split The dry issue and the church issue are too well fused for voters to know which it is that moves them. Oklahoma Democrats, especially in the south part of the State, are dry Protestants. They talk dry. Perhaps they do not consciously even thing Protestant. But the prejudices of the generations doubtless are there as an unseen influence. To say that this should not be true is no answer to the situation “as is.” Democrats by the tens of thousands are too disgusted with the State administration to do anything but “vote her straight Republican.” Smith holds no charm for most of these that can draw them back on presidential electors. Smith splits the party in one direction. The State administration splits it in another. The result is disintegration. The State Democratic organization is chaotic? The report that the troubles have been healed is silly. The ailment is too deep-seated to be healed so that it is more than a surface closing over a bad abscess. Each effort leaves things worse. National Issues Dominate Smith did not help himself by his speech in Oklahoma. Conditions are as they were before he came. In my judgment they will stay as they are until election. The people cf Oklahoma are “set” by what they conceive to be a “great moral issue.” The Republican State organization lacks much of being universally popu'ar. But it has no record. It never has controlled the State. Therefore national issues and anti-r.dministration State issues control the situation. Oklahoma this year is anti-Democratic rather than pro-Republican. But Democrats generally will not stay at home. They will go all the way and vote for Hoover. The women are an enormous factor in this situation. That Curtis is popular with the Indians is a factor, but after all only a minor one. The emotional element which dominates the situation is pro-dry, pro-Protestant and pro-kick-them-out. of State control. JUDGE UNWORRIED BY TONGUE LASHING Woman Fails to Get Last Word In His Court. Bit United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—The ladies don’t worry Magistrate Weil of the West Side Court. Even a tongue-lashing by a defendant accused of refusing to pay a taxi bill failed to ruffle his exemplary disposition. “Is there any justice in this country for women?” she demanded to know and added, “I was born under the British flag.” Hlzzoner came back with “Why don’t you go back to England?” To which she answered, “I haven’t and rubbers and might get my feet wet.” But the magistrate had the last word, “Pay your bill.” NAVY OFFICER SPEAKS M , I Reserve Commander Urges Support of Appropriation Bills.

BAN SPYING ON GRAPEBUYERS Dry Chief Denies Campaign of Snooping. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Federal prohibition agents will iot interfere with the sale of fresh grapes, even thdugh these grapes may be used to make wine. “Our agents are not engaged in the business of snooping,” said Prohibition Commissioner Doran today. The California Vineyard Association, fearful that the sale of California grapes would be interfered with by Federal agents, had protested to Commissioner Doran assurance also has been given to grape growers in Ohio and New York. “We have instructed our agents not to interfere with the sale and distribution of fresh grapes,” Doran said. “The impression seems to have gotten about that our agents are spying on purchasers of grapes.’ We don’t want to interfere in any way with a legitimate industry and we certainly are not trying to check up on buyers of grapes." The question of the sale of grape juice is treated somewhat differently by Dr -an. “The sale of grape juice, which later turns into wine, is being handled directly by each prohibition administrator,” Doran said. “This is an extra-legal question, involving “intent.” STATE CAMPS URGED Conservation Chief Addresses W.

(1, S. DIPLOMATS FACE REMOVAL AFTERJLECTION Attempt of Several Envoys to Retain Posts Meets Coolidge Frown. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The system of retaining trained diplomats in important posts abroad may be subjected to a severe test when anew administration takes charge of foreign affairs, in view of the reaction here today ,to proposals of certain career men that they continue in office after Coolidge leaves the White House. Making clear that ministers are personal representatives of the chief executive, President Coolidge has little sympathy with the suggestions said to have come from recently appointed diplomats. Their plan, as reported here, was not to submit the customary resignations to the new President, but try to remain in their present posts. If their idea is solely to emphasize the need of a permanent foreign service personnel, the President believes it praiseworthy. But if it is proposed that they constitute themselves into a self-perpetuating body he considers it contrary to custom and the constitutional theory of executive power. May Become Envoys fn any event, it was intimated, the next President, whether Hoover or Smith, would have the power of removal. Included in the group reported favorable to the. idea of staying at their present posts are some whose rapid promotion led to a senatorial investigation of charges that they obtained their promotions through “favoritism and social Influence.” The attack was directed against some of the men on the ground service personnel board, they had that, as members of the foreign feathered their own nests with the best diplomatic plums. The chief targets of these assaults were J. Butler Wright, minister to Hungary; Joseph C. Grew, ambassador to Turkey, and Hugh R. Wilson, minister to Switzerland. Mercy of Spoils System Omitting entirely any consideration of the fitness of the particular men affected, it is pointed out that their advance has only brought them to an elevation which leaves them at the mercy or the patronage hunters. Other ministers in the same fix are: Hoffman Philip, minister to Persia; Leland Harrison, to Sweden; Charles Wilson, to Bulgaria; Frederick A. Sterling, to the Irish Free State; William Phillips, to Canada - John V. A Mac Murray, to China; Mott Gunther, to Egypt, and George T. Summerlin, to Honduras. MOST VOTES EXPECTED IN TWENTIETH PRECINCT Democratic Survey of County Reveals Three-Fold Gain. Unless surprising gains are made in other precincts, the Twentieth precinct, First ward, will show the largest number of voters of any of the 269 precincts in Marion County this year, reports to Marion County Democratic headquarters today indicated. A three-fold gain in voting population of the precinct was shown in reports made to County Chairman Leroy J. Keach by Andrew Blueher, ward chairman. Although Democratic poll takers in this precinct have not completed their canvass, they have 2,200 names thus far in their books, Blueher said. Two years ago the precinct showed only 850 names. Using a pass key someone entered the office of the Circle Art Company, 635 Meyer-Kiser Bank Bldg., Tuesday night, and pried open a steel cabinet, getting S4O loot.

LIBERALISM ON TRIAL; MINISTER SUED FOR LIBEL New Jersey Case Recalls Famous Evolution Fight. BY lIARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff Corr spondent MORRISTOWN, N. J., Oct. 10.— A somewhat puzzled jury, made up of small-town merchants, laborers and one housewife filed into Circuit Court today to resume their attempt to find out exactly what “lying imputations” means. Upon their decision will rest the outcome of one of the strangest trials since John Scopes, an obscure school teacher, was called to the bar of justice for expounding the theory of evolution in Dayton, Ter.n. Wrangle Over Terms In the courtroom sat a group of the Nation’s leading liberals, listening to counsel for a minister and a daughter of the American Revolution wrangle over the definition of such terms as “socialism, pacifism and communism.” Mrs. Helen Brumley Baldwin, prominent club member of Boonton, N. J., is suing the Rev. Dr. William M. Bridge for libel. Back of the suit is a village quarrel over whether Bridge was justified in inviting liberal leaders to address his congregation. Mrs. Baldwin said he was not, and insisted that a lecture by Mrs. Lucia Ames Maid of Brookline, Mass., would “endanger the community.” Bridge said he regarded Mrs. Baldwin's attitude toward liberals as “lying imputations” and her suit followed. Recalls Dayton Trial The court scene today was strikingly similar to the one at Dayton in the summer of 1925. Once again a small town was divided over the disseminatiofi of liberalism; once more an advocate of free speech and free thought was on trial, and once more Arthur Garfield Hays was defending him. There was the same sort of crowd. Local merchants and trades people. | with many women, most of whom belonged to the D. A. R., sat in the crowd. They listened attentively to Oswald Garrison Villard and Thomas Q. Harrison. MISSING GIRL RETURNS Bessie O’Neil, 11, Was Away From Residence 6 Days. Bessie O’Neil, 11, missing six days from her home.

CONVICT THREE PHILLY COPS OF TAKINGBRIBES Two Plead Guilty: Await Jail Terms in Quaker City Cleanup. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.—Three Philadelphia police officers found guilty of extortion after a special grand jury started an investigation of extensive racketeering, toefay awaited sentence that could reach a maximum of 172 years in prison. Two of the officers—Captain William C. Knoell and John Sells—pleaded guilty to the charge after District Attorney John A. Monoghan disclosed he had $5,000 that had been collected from bootleggers, while Herbert Layre was found guilty by a jury Tuesday. Meanwhile, Mayor Harry Mackey and Monaghan are at slight variance on the circumstances surrounding alleged police connection with the vast underworld chain. “Let me say right here that I have not seen any evidence of any police graft during my administration, but if there is any, it ought to come out as a result of the recent transfers,” Mayor Mackey said. To this statement Monaghan replied : “The facts are that I have in my possession $5,000 seized from Captain Knoell, who has pleaded guilty. This money was part of graft collected from saloon keepers between Marcn of this year, when she police department was organized on ward lines and the end of August, when this investigation began.”
