success OF the democratic party
is of more Importance to me
than my own personal success In
this campaign. | am sure that
the democrats of Oklahoma are
more interested in democratic
success on the 9Th of August than
they are In the success of any
democrat in Oklahoma In all
this campaign | have never made
one single charge against you,
nor will | make one against you
or any other candidate running
against me during this campaign
| do not believe that democrats
should make a fight OF this kind
upon each other. and believing as
! do, shall abstain from any
counterattack upon you. Il mat
ters not with me how vehement
you may become in your attack
upon my character will not be
provoked into counterattack
upon you"
