The time has come in the Third

people demand more activity in con
gross and less dirty politics in Okla.

Another Line of Your Law Enforce
mrnt.
Nou insinuate that ] am going
to spend 500 a precinct In the sew
en- hundred voting precincts Of the
Third District. In this you again dis
play your ignorance. You have been
voted for In the Third District five
times, and will again be voted for
next election, yet you couldn't guess
by two hundred how many precincts
there were IN your district. You say
700. There are by actual count bOl'
You show about as much knowledge
Of tho Third District as you did in
Congress and IN defending criminals
who had mot a shadow Of chance
But, anyway you don't believe
that, and you put that In for the solo
purpose Of furnishing your hehch-
men something to talk about, and TO
prejudice the voter
You say: Under our present law
there is a limitation on the eXpcndl-
lures for campaign purposes etc
| am aware of that fact, and the
amount allowed In both primary ahd
election is $4,000. After you called
my attention to the amount | was al
lowed TO spend you said; "They
(meaning the voters of the Third
District have been fully instructed
throughout the district to take all
the money you would give them ana
then vote as they please
There you again show where You
get off on the enforcement of the
law. You say you are a law-abiding
citizen, and still you send broadcast
throughout the district and cause TO
be printed advice to the intelligent
voter to violate the law. You advise
them to corrupt the ballot and Nio-
late the law, and yet you say You
stand for the enforcement of the
law"
You've got the habit, haven't you,
Mr.. Davenport Of advising and de-
Tending people who violate the law.
You not only protect criminals when
they get into trouble, but you mako
criminals bV YOUR volunteer adVl %.
l Demand Your Proof.
You and your committee and your
speakers have from time to lime,
made the statement that YOU have
proof that ! violated the laws of the
state in the primary election.
You are candidate for congress,
Mr.. Davenport. and in your letter
You say YOU stand for the enforce
ment of the laws.
In behalf of nearly four hundred
thousand people of the Third Dis
trict demand you to bring forth
the proof that I have violated the
laws.
'Ts true that I have shown where
you made criminal, and where you
protected and defended criminals.
but do not only ask you to protect
or defend me. but | demand that you
