Oklahoma City, Sept. 20 Greeted with a mighty shout of welcome from a tremendous crowd that had been waiting at the Rock Island depot since early morning, Governor Smith arrived at 10 a.m. today in this breeding ground of Ku Kluxism where his campaign tour will reach its first real climax tonight when he addresses an audience expected to reach 50,000 at least. In the immense throng that awaited his arrival at the railroad station were delegations from every county in the State, which was carried by the Democrats in the last election, and thousands of citizens of Oklahoma City. Thousands Line Streets.

A huge parade from the station to the hotel in which the Governor will stay had been arranged in advance and the streets along the route were lined with thousands.

Included in this group were three former Governors of Oklahoma Cruce, Walton and Trapp; Scott Ferris, Democratic National Committeeman from the State; George Key, State chairman, and Otis Lorton, publisher of the Tulsa World, which has come out for Smith. The auditorium at Oklahoma City is unusually large and arrangements have been made for amplification in the neighborhood. The man who has been four times Governor of New York, of IriaJi immigrant stock, Rjman Catholic and wet, who is at tf-e same time a candidate for President, is an attraction and a challenge such as Oklahoma has not before.

The Governor is prepared for hostilities. Atmosphere at High Tension. The atmosphere is pitched at high tension for a number of reasons. First, Governor Smith is expected launch a denunciation of religious in tolerance in the face of his organize enemies. Second, the Governor may pay his respects to former Serf, tor Robert L.

Third, Dr. John Roach Straton, of New York, has threatened to turn up in the Oklahoma City audience. Fourth, Oklahoma, according to prevailing opinion, is strong for Mr. Hoover and is thus politically, as well as from the viewpoint of religion and Prohibition, hostile country.

The Governor comes to this great' occasion after a reception in Nebraska and Kansas of extreme cordiality. Last night, for example, his train stopped for 15 mjnotes at Topeka, home town of the Republican nominee for Vice President, Senator Charles Curtis. An enormous crowd turned out.

The station was decorated with flags, a band played the inevitable "Sidewalks of New York," and there was much red-fire enthusiasm. The Republican Governor of Kansas sent his secretary to the train to pav his official respects. The crowd was described as larger than the crowd that greeted Senator Curtis on hi3 return from Kansas City as nominee for Vice President, or that came out to see Mr. Hoover when he passed through Topeka some time ago. At a series of stops at smaller towns throughout Wednesday, crowds and met Mr.

Smith at each station.

I am indebted to my country beyond any human power to repay. (Signed) "HERBERT HOOVER." Mr.

Wilson was greatly perturbed when Dr. O'Shea called him on the phone after copies of the magazine had been received here and declared that nothing of a political nature was intended.
