The Leader recognizes that when
the time mas come for the proof of
the statements made against it not
one solitary charge viii be proven and
that it viii be sustained by an over
whelmning majority Of votes in both
branches Of the legislature. What is
more they will not be partisan votes.
Those who thought their blank
charges OF graft. preferred at the
proper time, would make The Leader
Secede from any position it had taken,
knew not The Leader nor its history
Too often has ii fought those same
forces In the state OF Oklahoma. and
those battles and defeats Of it's op-
ponents we're some of the causes lead
ing up 10 that desperate and eleventh
hour atteinpt TO discredit the state
paper of the democracy. The Leader,
be it remembered. has had no hearing
anywhere or any place.
As a matter OF fact the one idea
advanced so far. Is that some men,
not few OF them preiudiced in ad-
vance, had gone out TO make discov-
cry OF fraud. ana reported back to
the senate without calling into a con
sultation an individual who knew the
least thing about matters under in
vestigction and scrutiny. The report
which caused this great furore was
staged for bad effect on The Leader.
and Just 10 that extent we're the inyes-
tigators happy. Following their own
ideas. some thought The Leader would
fall TO where It, too. might make some
charges and have It's little sideshow
IN the session.
The Loader can afford to await vim
dication as any honest person or prop
eTly conducted corporation can await
trial by an unprejudiced court. II
Is going to work for the injury of no
man, nor will II permit others TO de-
fame its motives or its owner
Very many people take assertion for
facts. but all that Is asked by The
Leader Is that It be given a hearing
and. done. let the people who fear
wrong stand out from under shelter
and be counted And they will be
given proper treatment, as fair and
as honorable as can be given any per
son or persona. The Leader believes
II IS right and IN that belief courts
the fullest possible Investigation. If
81 be wrong and has failed OF duty,
lei il take responsibility theiefor.
OF course there win be enemies OF
the democratic party and the city who
will not give RE end OF this unpleas-
ant affair any publicity but the people
OF the state viii mark those for their
disapproval I'm the discussion OF this
attempt 70 discredit The Leader and
especially its publisher, The Leader
expected evory publisher 70 ccnsein
tho facts as near as they could be OBJ
tained by the gsrbled reports OF that
committee. but The Leader and the
public in general will also expect the
same publicity IA all matters pertain

the first publicity are expected TO lend
their assistance In securing the same
