the cleanliness of Mr.. Murray's cam
paign. Thy recognize in him the
most able man in the state today and
also recognize that such man is
essential to maintaining Oklaho-
mas proud war record. Not even
his enemies have ever questioned
his integrity. This is typical of his
appeals for support: Il do not need

there is in it. for | have been great
ly honored by the people of Okla

was-with the exception of thu
president, who today stands as th'
worlds greatest statesman.
| No. 2"Bill" Murray is a squaw
man and doesn't pay his taxes-Mr
Murray devotes little time to an
swering this. 1t is principally, hi
reply, tribute to Mrs. Murray
daughter of Governor Douglass II
lohnston, long a leader in this por,
tion of the state and for whom
ohnston county was named, and
one of the finest examples of wo-
manhood and motherhood in al
Oklahoma. As to taxes he carries
a certificate from the treasurer OF
Johnston county showing that he
has paid taxes on all his lands, in
cluding Indian lands, since state
hood.
That Grandfather Clause.
No. 3.-The grandfather clause
has been pet story of Robertson
and Alexander. Robertson has re-
peatedly declared that Mr.. Murray
was asked to campaign for the
clause by the state committee and
refused to do SO. The writer has a
telegram from the Hon. Fred Bran
son of Muskogee, who was the
chairman of the campaign commit
tee at the time the grandfather
clause was submitted. This tele-
gram verifies, word for word, ev-
cry statement made by Mr.. Murray
in this regard. The facts are that
the grandfather clause was submit
ted in 1910 when Lee Cruce of Ard
more and Murray were candidates
for governor and both stumped the
state supporting that legislation.
No. 4.-The fair election law is
another piece of legislation which
they charge Mr.. Murray did not
support. The public knows, gener-
ally, the situation in that instance.
The only instance in which Mr..
Murray ever refused to abide by the
party leaders wishes was at time
when he insists that he delivered
his answer in about these words: III
it is a choice between going out on
the stump and having my expenses
paid in order that clique of poll
ticians shall dictate the words that
shall issue from my mouth, and pay
ing my own expenses to say what
I really believe, | prefer to pay my
own"
No. 5.-The cumulative vote
ghost" so an Oklahoma City paper
said Friday, is following Murray
around. Mr.. Murray's only com
ment is that if the public will ex-
anime the portion of his resolution
to which the paper alludes, it will
be found that the words are the ex-
act language OF the constitution OF
the United States.
Why He Was Defeated.
No. Murray went to congress
and on his return home was beaten
BY an unknown has been a pet
Robertson declaration. The facts are
that Murray was defeated because
of two things. first: The entire OPP
position was centered on one man.
but Notwithstanding this fact the
difference between his total vote in
the entire district in the two races
was lust SO votes; second: Murray
made a speech in Oklahoma City
in 1915 in which he urged prepared
ness. denounced pacifists, |. w. Ws.
Socialists and Hheir ilk and warned
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-07-29

the people that we would be in
volved in the world war in less than
two years. He was Kissed by bunch
of pacifists. and the opposition
spread the statement that Murray
is for war" and l. w. VS.. and paci-
fists, the Working Class Union, the
Jones Family" and all the other
disloy alists who figured in the
"Roastin' Ear Rebellion" in Semi
mole, Pontotoc, Pottawatomie,
Hughes and other counties in that
section of the state, which were
then busy with their organization
work that resulted in the outbreak
at Wewoka, in the Little river coun-
try, Konawa and half dozen other
localities last August influenced a
lot of residents of that portion Of
the state to belief that Murray was
demanding war. Our declaration OF
war was made within year instead
of two years as Mr.. Murray had
warned his Oklahoma City listeners.
An Alleged EgOtist.
No. 7.-"Murray is an egotist." "
Mr.. Murray says to this: THAT is
charge easy to make and difficult
to disprove. Should man be COM
PEELED to write idiot across his brow
merely because some politicians may
call him an egotist? Shall he stab
his conscience, deride his intellec-
tual ability and mark himself so in
order that he may escape such an
accusation. The Egyptian philoso-
ply of centuries ago has handed
down to us this: "He who knows
and knows not that he knows, is
asleep, awaken him; he who knows
not and knows that he knows not,
is simple, teach him; he who knows
not and knows not that he knows
not that he knows not, is fool,
avoid him; he who knows and
knows that he knows, is wise, fol-
low his counsel belong to that,
the latter class, let those other fell
lows have their choice of the rest"
No. Son the gross production
tax Mr.. Murray has been repeated
ly and in devious ways misrepresent-
ed. This is his platform declaration:
81 regard the gross production tax
as fixed policy OF the state, not
to be repealed or disturbed"
1t hasn't been noticed that either
of the other candidates has declared
just what he will do with the gross
production tax if elected. Alexan-
der cries that Robertson would have
the tax repealed, and the farmers
and other taxpayers would have to
bear additional burdens. This, Of
course, Robertson denies, and makes
cross accusations at both Murray
and Alexander. But the language of
Murray is definite and plain; it does
not arguethe gross production tax
as measure requiring attention at
this time. 1t is, according to Mr..
Murray, "a fixed policy OF the state
not to be repealed or disturbed"
Sundry Other Tales
There are, no doubt, various and
sundry other tales in circulation but
these are the ones that have been
commanding most of the time of
Mr.. Murray's principal opponents.
Others, if there be such, no doubt
will be found to have as little or
less foundation in fact when the
glaring light of scrutiny is directed
upon them. The rank and file and
the leading representative of every
walk OF life have been impressed by
