rIaHrING IGNORANCE, NOT COLOR.

EIGHTING IGNORANCE, NOT COLOR.
To read the Guthrie papers one
would think they we're published in
Alabama instead OF Oklahoma. Their
CITY elections are at hand and the cole r
lines are drawn by THE LEADER with
indiscriminate exactness. IL speaks Of
the Citizsns ticket as the white mans
ticket and gives II out that no negro
need apply. In town where there
are so many negroes this kind OF a
fikht should determine the results, fOr
certainly no negro will vote that
ticket, and no one who docs not desire
TO keep up race distinction should do
10. From the tenor OF the fight IL
seems as though Guthrie must be a
southern city.-Medford Patriot
The Patriot is grossly mistaken.
Palmer has either been using yellow
glasses or perverts and distorts from
haHe. THE LEADER has not drawn
the color line in this campaign, and
while /. is true that the Citizens ticket
Is composed Of white men exclusively,
The LEADER does not wage war on
color. The LEADERS contention, how
ever, Is that none but intelligent
men should be elected TO the council
and school board. On the Republican
ticket are four negro candidates, two
Of whom are unable to read nor write.
They are vicious, unworthy darkies,
who have been clinging to the Repub-
licAn machine for years, catching up
whatever grease flows over the politi.
cal skillet. These ignorant negro
candidates are menace, especially Ia
the welfare OF the schools. On the
council they can be handled, but poll
tics does not obtain on the school
board like in the council 1t is FOL
these reasons that the Republican
negro candidates should be turned
down, and II The LEADER judges the
disposition OF the voters IN various
wards correctly they will b, over
whelmiogly defeated.
