accuses the ARDNORETTE wrong
fully in that he say; We favor the
fight coming to Ardmorc, without
conditions. The ARDHOREITE has
never committed itself to any such
proposition. 1t has said and says
yet. that if the fight is 90 be pulled
off i'll the Indian Territory that
Ardmore should have il for tinan
cial reasons. We take it that it
will not be brought to the Terri
tory if it cannot be done with the
sanction of the law. then IL The
laws are defective and the Florida
Athletic club takes advantage of
the lOOpEOle and comes To the ter
ritory, the moral effect would be
no worse to bring it off in Ard
more than it would were it held ON
the north bank of the Red river.
The moral taint to the whole Terri
tory would be the same at either
place. If this be true. and we be
lieve it is. would it not be better
then for Ardmore to secure it and
the thousands of dollars that would
be left behind among our people!
Morally speaking the ALDNpRIrE

We are strongly in favor Of getting

it for purely financial reasons.

THE attitude of cur cOurt off
cials on the y posed Corbet Fitz
simmons con. st, iii the event Of
an attempt its being pulled off
in Ardmore or ihe Chickasaw Ma
ton, is ve'.- commendable. They
say the laws are amply sufficient 20
prevent it. This being true. they
would be false to their trusts were
they to fold their official hands and
permit it to take place PrOSecut-
ing Attorney Cruce is positive in
his assertion that moth ng in his
and his workers power shall be
left undone to prevent the mill on
Chickasaw soil 1t Is only neces
Sary to know him to be convinced
that he Is deeply III earnest. The
ARDMoREITE Is not arguing the
law in the case when it says Ard
more should have the fight; it sim
ply assumes that it Will not come
here if forbidden by the law. nor
does it pretend To say that our peo-
pie, as a whole, or even a majOri-
ty, want it to be brought here; but
We do take the position that if it
comes to the Territory, Ardmore
would secure the most money ben
eft; and 10 greater taint by its be-
ing brought here than if it is per
mitted elsewhere in this country
If Mr.. CrUce has the law to back
him up. we are with him in its en-
forcement, otherwise we say Ard
molt should have the attraction.
