WHY SENATOR
CORE SHOULD
Be RETURED
SOME OF THE MANY REASONS
WHY THE BLIND SENATOR
SHOULD BE REELECTED AT
THE COMING PRIMARY.

For no other reason than the fact
that he has made good to the people
who elected him.
Because in the United States SEN
ate seniority counts. There are but
nine senators senior TO Senator Gore
Because his ability has won the re-
spect and admiration of President
Wilson, secretary of State Bryan and
all the leading democrats of the ma
tion.
Because he has worked increasingly
for the interest of the Indian wards
of the government and has thwardted
the efforts of a bunch of political
Indian grafters to filch from them
millions in attorneys fees for doing
the work the government promised
| to do without charge
Because he has made it possible
for more public buildings TO be erect
| ed in Oklahoma than any man who
has been in Washington since state
| hood
| Because he is in harmony with the
presidents policies and the policies OF
the administration, and makes it pos
/ sible for him to have his requests in
behalf of the people of this state lis
tened to in Washington.
Because he is everlastngly Oppos-
ed to machine politics and is today
fighting the machine in Oklahoma
that would usurp his place in the
senate and send an untried man to
take up his burdens.
Because his defamers and charac-
ter-assassins, who labored so assidu-
ously for his downfall are now in
oblivion, while he stands vindicated
before the people of the state and
nation.
Because he is chairman of more i'm
portant committees in the senate than
new man could be elevated to in
twenty years. Therefore he is in
position to do something for the
people.
Because he has always been the
friend of the farmer and laborer and
was the father of the farm credits
commission, which will result in
system of rural credits which will
enable the farmer to secure longtime
loans at low rate of interest.
Because there is no good reason
why the democratic party of Okla
homa should desert a true friend, who
has been with them in time of trou-
BILE and adversely, simply to crafty
the ambition of one who wants the job
Because in debate he stands with
out a peer on the floor of the United
States senate and his voice has
always been heard on the side of
right
Because he has certain convictions
and believes that the democratic par
ty is the real progressive party OF
the nation, and he is recognized by
the rank and file of that party as a
leader of men and measures.
Because he is a firm believer in
good roads, and has advocated that a
national department be established to
make road building national, state
and county, an issue, and thereby
create a market for every article
grown on the farm.
Because he is friend of the oil
producer in Oklahoma and is continu
ally fighting for their interests against
corporate greed.
Because he was instrumental in
having the income tax law placed
upon the statute books, compelling
the wealthy to bear their just pro
portion of taxes, and share with the
poor the burdens as well as the
blessings of government.
Because he is chairman of the com
mittee on agriculture, which is of
vital importance to the farmers OF
the nallOn. IL neN man "SiS DC
lected it would be years, if ever he
were selected to this important posi-
tion.
Because. in the seven years he has
been in the senate of the United
States, the people of Oklahoma have
mad a servant at their command who
was willing at any and all times tc
serve their interests, and for that and
the various reasons enumerated above
to say nothing of the hundreds of
others that might be enumerated
Thomas Pryor Gore should be return
ed to the senate of the United States
on August 4.
