TO circulate again the story that AT
one time IN my life was indicted
That Is true, and four Others of tho
most prominent citizens OF the state
OF Oklahoma were indicted at the
same time Oh the same charge We
did not wait for warrants to be IS
sued, much less for the statutes OF
limitation to run, but appeared IN
court and demanded an Immediate
hearing The result was that the
case was dismissed
The truth Is, the Democratic cam
paign committee did not have TO sink
TO the level of the Republican party
and foundation It's fight against the
personal character OF d man. There
was enough in his policies TO con
demn. Since, however, McNeal him
self had brought up the matter OF
his indictment II would not be amss
for the public to know that he was
accused OF operating lottery and
was indicted by a federal grand jury
| that his company, which was In the
| loan business was founded on prac-
tically the same principles on whica
/ a Fort Wortl concern was operating
when the Federal authorities elected
Il from the state: that McNeal never
had trial BY Jury. but that In The
dark hours of the night, before jury
was called. a federal Judge dismissed
the Indictment that a jury Of twelve
citizens Aad returned. And at the
time that McNeal was indicted he
was In washington trying to appoint
governor OF the territory.
McNcal 10 Discharged
McNeal has dlscredlted himstlf.
His record is not OF taat character
tnat the people demand of a governor
His slogan of more business and
Tess politics Is the cry of the rail-
roads and has been since statehood.
The slogan was ventured that II
might aid the candidate In binding
the eyes OF the peopie to the real
situation under Democratic admin-
istraton II has been unsuccessful
Ioe McNeal will never be governor OF
Oklahoma while the people rule,
Victory For cruee

In this campaign would make lim a
winner II he didn't nave the better os
the issues He Is a man among
many, the like of whom a progress
siyo people in progressive state
are like to choose. Tae years cam
palgn and the continually arising
policies that benefit the people have
made sim bigger man than a gov
cfnor, bat to be governor Is all he
asks. His strength of character
strength of argument and strength
Of personality have led the people TO
his fold in verItable flocks. During
the tour OF Western oklahoma last
week he stirred the people TO a real
zaton OF their duty as tley were
never stirred before. and they drove
fifteen and twenty miles TO hear hinl
speak. They shouted themselves
hoalse as the truths hit home There
is not an exception to rule estab
issed in tha tour by which Repub
leans declared they would support
him. He is loved in the West as
they have not loved him before.
. Apathy had disappeared and with
II the last hope OF the Republican
committee. The Democratic voters
are not content with a mere nominal
and normal majority: they want "a
make II so overwhelming that the
party OF Jim Harris and Jake Hamon
