Driven TO the wall on his negro-loT-
ing attributes and his railroad bond
signing record, MeNeal recently in q
speech al Waynoka stuck to the politi-
cal level Of Jake Hamon and declared
with abandon and much gusto that
United States Senator Gore VIII, with
in the next sixty days. be indicted by
federal grand jury on the charge
OF defrauding the government In the
purchase Of town lots at Lawton and
that Governor Lee Cruce wiz appoint

Bears False Witness
Joe McNeal is an elder in the Pres
byterian church and poses as a Chris
tian. But has forgotten the scriptural
Injunction Thou shalt not bear false
witness From the plane Of states
man in disguise be has stopped TO the
lowest level Of political crookedness
and in his desperation given publicity
to 4 despIcabIe lie sent out from re-
publican headquarters to blacken the
character Of good man and thus seek
TO condone the wrong that Jake
Hamon is charged with committing,
The Death Of Cross.
McNeal also has peddIed over the
state the malicious story about the
death Of Bill Cross. asserting with
feigned positive knowledge that the
death OF Cross was not made known for
"a hours in order that political man
euver might be successfully made.

Texas Building Company.
These acts were followed by charges
against the Texas Building company
which constructed the penitentiary q
NcAlester. The charges were pre-
ferred at the instance Of Jim Harris
and through a discharged employe Of
the Texas company solely for political
effect The state building inspector
mas shown the falsity Of the charge
item BY item. McNeal Is preaching
from those charges as text, and in
so doing abandons the standard Of the
Christian
Campaign OF Falslty.
McNeal's entire campaign has been
one OF faIsity and villificatlon. He
gives no democrat connected with the
state administration credit for ever en-.
tertaining a good thought or doing
good deed. He has spent his time
encouraging the negroes and deriding
Governor Haskell, and other members
Of the administration. He deserted
the machine-made platform and never
refers tolit in his speeches He align
ed himself with the standpat element
Of the party and has never given one
word Of hope to the progressive. He
failed to offer sound word Of defense
Of himself whom brought face to face
with a territorial record that is un-
savory and which made him rich. He
has ignored the nleadings Of the insur
gents for promises of reform in freight
rates and corporation regulation that
has been thwarted by the federal
courts. He has ignored the greatest
questions of the year in national poll
tics and remained in the slime that

law disfranchising many negro voters
he has encouraged the negroes with
the promise that way would be
made for them to vote and SO doipe
has nearly melted an insurrection
among the blacks. In speech at Co
weta he counselled the negro to be
brave men and fight for their rights
as their brothers did on San Juan
Hill. He was endorsed before the
primary by the anti-saloon league, YET
