Passage Of Rural Credit Act Opens Door
Of Hope; Gives Reasons for Re-
Election Of Wilson

Ardmore, Okla. Oct Ex-senator Il
p Gore addressed a large audience OF
enthusiastic Democrats here last
night. The senator has been spend
ing the last month in the campaign
largely in northern states, and after
speaking at Guthrie. Enid, Chickasba
and Lawton, he will go east to fill a
number of dates in Kentucky and
Ohio. He will speak in Chickasha
next Saturday afternoon. The senator
believes that Ohio is absolutely GER
tain to so for Wilson.
In his speech last night the senator
called attention to the fact that the
Republican platform his year omits
all reference to the farmer, or the
question of agriculture, although more
than a third OF the entire population
of the nation is engaged in agricul-
ture. He spoke of the struggles the
American farmer has had during all
these years to keep things going and
pay usurious interest and Of the new
situation created for the farmer by
the passage of the Rural Credits Act.
which opens the door Of credit to the
farmer on about the sane basis as the
railway or manufacturing concern
The senator briefly outlined some
Of the reasons why the average man
ought to be for Wilson as follows:
Because in the midst of world
war he has kept the peace.
Because he has abolished invisible
government.
Because he has reduced the tariff,
to a competitive basis.
Because he has secured the adop-
tion of dumping clause to protect
American labor from cut-throat com
petition after the war.
Because he has secured an income
tax, obliging wealth to share with
want the burdens as well as the bless
ings of government
Because he has established non
PARTISAN tariff commission and is the
friend Of legitimate business.
Because he has secured the estab-
lishment of a Federal Reserve system
the money trusts and pre-
venting panics.
Because he has established Fed
eral Trade Commission to suppress
unfair competition.
Because he has secured the estab-
lishment Of a Rural Credits Law, de-
signed to emancipate the farmer from
excessive interest charges and has
been a real friend to the farmer.
His administration has established
a system Of licensed and bonded ware
houses for the benefit of the farmer
and measures have been passed TO es-
tablish official standard and grades
Of cotton and grain and his admins
tration has placed stamp of approx
al upon system of state and federal
and his platform promises
the prosecution Of plans to render ag-
riculture more profitable and country
life more attractive.
Because he has approved a meas
ure declaring that human labor shall
not be dealt with as a mere commo-
dity. and has given his approval to a
abolishing the writ of injunc-
ton as an istrument Of judicial tyr
amy and has secured for the laborer
the right OF trial by jury in case Of
contempt.
Because he approved the Work
mems Compensation Act and the Sea-
mans Act which liberases the toilers
Of the sea from involuntary servitude.
Because he urged the passage and
signed the Eight Hour Act preventing
a nationwide strike. This act en-
bodies the spirit OF the Republican
platform Of l90S-the Progressive
platform of 1912. and the Democratic
platform OF 1916. and is in accordance
With the mature conviction thst the
man who tolls should be allowed TO
enjoy a fair share Of the fruits Of his
labor"
