NEW FREEDOM OF MODERN DEMOCRACY
SHUN THE SHOALS Of D|SAFFECT|ON

Now that the holidays aIe over it
5an be expected that the political
pot in Oklahoma will begin to sing
and before many more moons it will
boil"
1t is the senatorial race that the
The Ardmoreite is, or course most
interested and never more so than
at this writing when active prepa-
Iations are being made to send
broadcast over the state the plat
form of Col SuggS. Hundreds of
thousands are to be printed and dis
tlibuted and every nook and corner
in the state viii be visited elmer by
Col Suggs himself or by one or
more of his fJiends and adherents.
Hundreds Write the Colonel.
Scores and scores of letters have
been received by Col. Suggs and
by The Alimoreite endorsing the
policy of Col. Suggs in his plat
form so far as federal aid is con-
cerned for roads and for his credit
system. Scores of offers have reach
ed him to distribute the full text
of his platform just as soon as it
can be printed.
No Mud Singing.
Col Suggs authorizes the state
ment that neither he himself nor
any of his friends, with his consent,
shall indulge in any vituperat.On or
mudslinging. His campaign will be
made on its merits and he is viii
ling to stand or fall on his platform
which, as has already been stated,
will be for national roads, credit sys-
TEN for farmers and irrigation for
Oklahoma.
Personal Work Needed.
Col. Suggs believes that every vot-
er in the state realizes that the
time has come for an active man
to represent them in the senate.
That a man is needed who will be |
content to let who will make tael..
regulations as national characters |
and devote his entire time to a pol |
.cy directly benefiting Oklahoma.
