The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-08-24

defeat for nomination of. an elect
or on the Democratic ticket writ
ten by the News editor, the Daily
Ardmoreite, of which he was for
merly editor, takes occasion TO
imputc a motive and to suggest
reason in full column editor
ial. going back more than twelve
years to rcview the connection
with the activities and growth OF
Ardmore Of the present editor of
the News.
While the paragraph quoted was
merely by way Of political com
ent the fact remains, neverthe'
less, that it was statement OF
fact that inasmuch as the pres
ent editor and general manager
Of the Daily Ardmoreite was dis
charged from its employ by the
writer for disloyalty to the Of
flee several months before poll
teal managers We're able TO se'
cure the News mans elimination
from the management thereof,
following which the former em'
ploye was put in charge, there
may be found a reason for the
disposition to impute motives ana
to indulge in inuondoes on the
part Of the Ardmoreite.
We will say that the man to whom
the News editor evidently refers II
the above unethical and un-ChrisIiai
spirit had nothing to DO with writ
ing the editorial which appeared IL
The Ardmoreite We will say still
further, that the man referred di'
not know the editorial was even il
contemplation by its writer, unit
after it had been written and printe'
that the first intimation he had o
it was when the edition of The Ard
moreite containing it came off tn
press.
And we will say, still further
that the editor of the Shewnee New
is personally acquainted with IN
man who did, write the editoria
that he had every reason to kno'
who it was who wrote it, and tina
he knows fun well that this mar
George II. Wyatt, managing editc
of The Ardmoreite has not only neVe
been discharged by him for dislo!
atty" or for any other cause; bl
that Mr.. Wyatt never worked ft
him or under him, although he dl
work upon The Ardmoreite in a
editorial and reportorial capacity prie
to Mr.. Spaulding's connection wit
the paper, quitting the paper of h
own volition, four years before NJ
Spaulding became its guiding spiri
Again the News editor has show
more intellectual agility than ca
dor"
However, we are willing to give hi
the benefit of the doubt, and belieN
that he possibly assumed someoi
else wrote The Ardmoreite's editori
and so assuming, jumped at concl

bent, wherever Ardmore is concer
ed. seized the opportunity of takir
a "quip" at one OF Ardmore's mo
highly respected citizens, the Ar
moreite's present general manager.
AS to why the editor Of the New
was eliminated" from The Ardmor
ite the writer neither knows M
cares, but alluding to his statemer
that political managers" brougf
about his downfall, we will say tina
The Ardmoreite in its editorial POI
Cies, wears no mans halter and
aligned with no faction save the gref
national faction which believes thf
the Democratic party is the polite;
organization which gives the people
the United States that real Demo
racy that makes all men brother
The editor Of the News blows h'
and cold further along in his ed
torial. In one paragraph he say
that he left Ardmore, when he r
signed as secretary of its Chambt
Of Commerce, going TO larger fiel(
where greater opportunities were o
fered him, but that all the tin
wherever he was, he said good thing
about the city and welcomed II
first opportunity to return to II
city (Ardmore) where so many Of h
friends continued to live
while his next paragraph reads:
Ardmore has seemed to be proud
that it rotten egged Jim Reed.
There are other lapses which
it seems to consider with indif-
ference and the prevalent dis
regard Of law and order there
seems TO be accepted with the
utmost complaisance and a thing
not to be disturbed or even dis
cussod by the God-fearing section
of the populace. 1t goes without
saying that Ardmore is Ardmore
and insists upon being so and if
from time to time reference is
made to it by the newspapers Of
