The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-07-25


lasting contempt for any man who wlfully vlo-
lates the virtue of woman, be that woman one
who is wise in the ways of the world, or poor,
trusting blind girl, and be the man who robs her
Of her chastity a rounder of the most disreput-
able type or a man of brains and learning
whom fate may destine to become a United
States senator
And the editor who has written Of the un-
worthiness of Senator Gore in these columns
also thanks God that he never has, nor ever
will 90 to the camp of the enemy for political
comfort and assistance; that he has never fought
the battles for any candidate seeking Democratic
honors whose political history is so corrupt that
he has been forced into the Republican fold for
words of cheer and support and applause.
Let any thinking man go out upon the
streets of Ardmore and make poll of the
voters, man by man, woman by woman and
we venture the assertion, despite the fact that
Senator Gore says The Ardmoreite is liar
that ninety and nine out of every possible hun
dred whc may support Gore will be found 10 pe
either Republicans or Socialists Such being
the case we ask you, in event Gore should
be elected, would Oklahoma have two Demo
crat senators at Washington, or one? In event
Gore should be renominated and reelected,
would he or would he not be found voting with
the enemy, as he was found voting during the
war and Immediately before the war? In event
Gore should be returned to the United States
senate, would he prove loyal to the Democratic
rarty, the party which his vote betrayed when
It was most needed, or would he be found
again cheering onward the Socialistic anti loyal
forces and turning the smiling side of his face
toward the pro-Cermans hundreds of whom
may yet be found in the United States?
n If the Republicans are really sincere in sup
porting Gore and really want to see him nonl-
mated in order that he will be elected, why is
it that when you take member OF that
party who is shouting the loudest for Gore and
pin that person down, he will acknowledge
that he does not expect to vote for Gore IN the
general election? II the Socialists who have
Registered as Democrats, and the Socialists who
have registered as Socialists, really want TO
see Gore nominated that he may be elected why
is it you will see those same fellows putting
their heads together for Harreld the Republican
congressman from the Fifth district who voted
to seat man in the national legislature who
had been indicted and found guilty Of syndical-
ism?
Notwithstanding the fact that Gore de-
nOunces the editors of PAL Democratic Oklaho-
ma newspapers as liars, we believe as firmly as
as we believe in the Immortality of God and the
divinity of Christ that the 241 Democratic edi-
tors voice the sentiments Of the majority Of the
Democratic voters of Oklahoma and that the
real, the loyal, the American element of the
Democratic party wants to see Tom Gore, the
I'M American, defeated.
And we believe as firmly as we believe that
al All Wise influence sways the destinies of
mankind that the public record Of Scott Ferris
IS just as American, just as loyal, just as true
to the manhood and womanhood of America as
the record of Ton Gore is false.
A vote for Scott Ferris means a vote cast
for man who is American from the sole of his
feet to TIE crown of his head. vote for Tom
Gore means a vote cast against the honor OF
the Stars and Stripes, against the memory Oh
the dead heroes Of America who sleep in the
land of Lafayette against the honor Of honor
able men, against the purity of American wo-
manhood, against respect for the virtue of Am
erican women.
A vote for Tom Gore, in the Democratic
primary, is vote which brings the Republicans
of Oklahoma nearer to control in the state
vote which means either straight Republi-
can or Republican who hobnobs with the har-
lot of Socialism, in the United States senate
from Oklahoma.
We have journeyed throughout this vale OF
tears for many years and have known Repub-
licans and been familiar with Republican cam
pagn methods ever since we became voter,
and personal observation convinces us that 1t is
Just as impossible for an old line stalwart Re
publican to change his political beliefs as 1t is,
according to the Sacred Word, for an Ethiopian
b of c(ir
to change his spots. Hence it is that we ever
find the Republicans, Of no matter what state
always horning into Democratic primary, ex-
erting every influence to name the weaker
man for any office, in order that the Republi-
can candidate may be the successful one, or IN
event of his defeat, in order that the Democratic
candidate may become SO embarrassingly tied to
Republican influence that his usefulness to his
own party will be nil.
Such being the case, vote for Gore means
a vote cast with the Republicans or the Social
