Oklahoma City, Okla. Nov. 1.-De-
spicable and objectionable trickery
on the part OF Republican State
Chairman jim Harris and j. W. Me
Neal, Republican nominee for gov

days of the campaign But reports
received at state Democratic head
quarters declare that each instance
has aided the cause Of Democracy by
arousing the Democrats and independ.

Driven TO the wall on his negro-lov

speech at Waynoka sank TO the po-
litical level OF Jake Famon and de-
ciared with abandon and much gusto
that United States Senator Gore will
within tae ney sixty days be indicted
by Federal grand jury ON the
charge of defrauding the government

Eears False Witness
Joe McNeal is an elder IN the Pres
byteriau church and poses rs a Chris
tian. Bul he has forgotten the
scriptural INJUNCTION "Thou shalt not
bear false witness From the plane
OF statesman in disguise he has stoop-
ed 10 the lowest level of political
crOokedncss and IN his desperation
gives publicity TO Il despicable lie
sent out from Republican head
quarters TO backen the character OF
a good man and thus seek to condone|
for the wrong that Jake Hamon isl
charged with committing
The Death OF Cross
McNea has also peddled over the
state the malicious story about the
death Of Bill Cross, asserting with
fcigned positive knowledge that the
death of Cross was not made known
for "a hours in order that a political
maneuyer might be successfully made
Sworn certificates of the attending
physicians, giving the exact hour of
the death of Cross. indicate that Me-
Neal again forgot he was posing as a
Christian.
Texas Building Company s|
These acts were followed by charg-
es against the Texas Building com
pany which constructed the peniten-|
tiary at McAlester. The charges
were preferred at the instance Of Jim
Harris, and through a discharged en-
poye Of the Texas company solely for
political effect. The state building in
spector has shown the falsity of the
charge item by item. McNeal is
preaching from those charges as a
text. and in so doing abandons the
standard of The Christian.
Campaign OF FaIsity
McNears entire campaign has been
one OF falsity and villifcation. He
gives no Democrat connected with the
state administration credit for ever
entertaining good thought or do
ing good deed. He has spent his
time encouraging the negroes and de-
riding Governor Haskell. and other
members of the administration He
deserted the machine-made platform
and never refers tc it In his speeches.
He aligned himself with the standpat
element OF the party and has never
given one ord OF hone to the progres
sIye He failed to offer a sound word
OF defense of himself when brought
face TO face with territorial record
that is unsavory and which made him
rich He has ignored the pleadings
of the insurgents for promises of re-
form in freight rates and corporation
regulation that has been thwarted by
the Federal courts. He has ignored
