ADVOCATES HAYES FOR SENATOR

Judge C. b. Ames of Oklahoma City,
one of the best known lawyers in the
state, concluded as peech in favor OF
Judge Hayes for u. S. senator as fol-
lows.
NOW. let us turn very briefly to
Senator Cores public record, and /
ask you, what has he accomplished?
Outside of few appropriations and
a few bills OF local interest 10 himself
and others, what has he accomplish
ed? ! know nothing. Has his name
been attached to any of the admins
tration measures? He was an origin
al Wilson man, Willie Senator Owen
was an original Champ Clark man, and
yet Ovens name and fame have be-
come fixed by the currency bill, one
OF the most vital measures ever adopt
cd by the congress of the United
States. During this same time what
has Gore done Let the voters of this
state ponder this question before they
vote. What is there of serious legls-
lation to which Gore has contributed
since the election of Woodrow Wilson?
"Just a few days ago received
through the mail. postage free, land !
suppose every voter in the state did
a thirty-two page pamphlet, entitled.
Extracts from the Remarks of Honor.
able Thomas P. Gore Of Oklahoma, in
tie senate OF the United States !
have examined this pamphlet and !
hope you will. | assume that our dis
tinguished senator has sent out these
extracts as the choice remarks that
he has made and is showing his quail
fications as senator. note that
he has quoted from twenty-six of his
speeches delivered during his two
terms In the senate. II is very inter-
esting to note when he delivered
those speeches. and II you have saved
your pamphlet, hope when you go
home you will note the dates.
I'm 1908 there were four speeches.
In 1909 there we're fifteen speeches.
In 1910 thre were two. In 1911 two.
In 1912 none In 1918 two. In 1914
one. Woodrow Wilson has been presi-
dent since March 4. 1918, and during
that time Gore has said nothing in the
senate of the United States TO justify
more than three quotations during the
two years. What are the subjects?
One half page in 1872 relates TO the
election OF senators; one page to the
tariff and one page TO the general
education board. If you will analyze
this pamphlet for few minutes you
will find that your senator since the
Democratic administration was inaug-
urated has been practically no senator.
This is further shown by the roll
calls of the senate from March, 1903,
TO December, 1918. Curing this time
there we're 1902 roll calls. Gore was
absent S72 times and present 7S0
times. During those five years we
paid Mr.. Gore $37. 800 to represent our
interests in the senate, and yet he was
absent from roll call more than half
of the time. and at the time of these
absences 5S5 were when quorum was
needed to transact business.
I sThese are the stubborn facts In the
case. These are the things which the
people should remember when they go
to vote. These are the things which
determine the value of mans ser
vice and whether he is earning the
salary we pay him. We cannot afford
TO allow our sympathy or our preju-
dices to influence us in this highly
important public business. know
that there is a widespread resentment
on the part of the people of the state
who believe that an unjust and un-
righteous effort was recently made to
blackmail Senator Gore, and if we
were trying the question Of his guilt
OF innocence Of that charge, ! would
vote for the senator. but that is not
the question, and it is our duty as citi-
