RED CARD SOCIALIST MAKES
SOME WILD STATEMENTS ON
The STREETS HERE SATURDAY
AND GETS WHIPPED.

"Eard Kimrid" Garland V. Pardue
who resides at Wilson, and who is
the Socialist candidate for county
attorney came 10 Ardmore Saturday
afternoon and made speech? When
the speech was over with, he wished
! for several minutes that he had no.
come 10 the capital Of Carter county
accused every county and city Official
Of being crooks and thugs and take
into question the virtue OF a large
majority of the women OF Oklahoma.
but ike all Of his ilk. he thought 10
get away with it and made the mis-
take Of his life This fellow Pardue
has been going over the county de-
nouncing the system, calling every
one who is not a member Of the
"unsavory party" a thief and crook.
and so bold has he become from not
being moested that he thought 10 in
wade the precincts Of the county seat
and preceded to tell people in gen
eral what he and his party thought
about matters and things.
People as a rule in this city have
been tolerent Of these misguided in
diyiduals They feel that they are
more to be pitied than censured and
the only thing ever seriously held
against them is the fact that they are
eternally opposed to sanitary plumb
ing and the functions Of the shower
or bath tub, this however they over
look ard when they see a gathering
Of the Kumrids take the opposite side
Of the street on the windward side
where they escape unpleasant odors.
yet when one of the cult becomes so
bold as 10 stand on the streets Of the
city, brand every city and county Of
fetal, every candidate from the two
great parties as crooks and then
makes the sweeping assertion that a
vast number of the women Of Okla
homa are not above suspicion so far
as virtue is concerned. there Is
likelihood Of something happening,
and something did happen about two
minutes after this Pardue person
finished speaking Saturday afternoon.
Horace Kendall who has been depu-
~ sheriff Of this county for the past
six years and who every citizen
knows to be a good and efficient Of
ticer unless It is the Red Card Social
lists. took exceptions to the aspersions
cast upon the women OF the state and
proceeded TO give Mr. Pardue just
what was coming TO him, a thorough
ly good thrashing.
Assistant chief OF police Frasher
was near by and as soon as possible
placed both men under arrest and
compelled them to make bond for
their appearance in police court. but
he was too late 10 save Pardue from
getting a good wallopping. Several
hundred citizens called Kendall yes
terday and congratulated him and Of
fered any assistance possible, the
case will come up today in all proba-
5ility if Pardue shows up.
Yesterday the "Kimrids" Of this city
got their red press to work and is
sued a circular denouncing as usual
everything and every body and pre-
iicting the election Of Pardue as
county attorney by an overwhelming
majority.
Kendall stated this morning that
personally he cared nothing for what
he Socialists said about him or the
male residents OF Oklahoma. but when
me Of the unwashed cult began 10
'ast reflection upon the virtue of the
women there was going to be some
me licked and that quick or be would
NV the reason why and any one
Who knows Kendall have not the
lightest doubt but what he will make
,ood his assertion at any and all
lines. y
