Editor World: wish to endorse the editorial
Smith cesspool and appointment OF Mra. Jake
Hamon as his successor In office We think the
whole situation was ably summed up by Con-
gressma -clcct Robertson OF Muskogec. Mrs
Hamon would have lifted her name high above
the foul depths to which It has been sunk by
her former husband, and would have shown
the people OF this state and nation that she was
womanly woman IL she had rejected the offer
made by the fiamon money mad satellites. That
the power OF Jake lannon's polluted millions are
forever gone must bc apparent to all except
those who would profit by the continuance OF
the corrupung influence OF these tainted mil
lions, No need to fear for the future political
leadership OF Miss Robertson OF Muskogee II
she continues to display the political acumen
that she has in the short time since election.
Any attempt upon the part OF the JAKE
Hamon Clara Smith satellites to do her death
politically would bring about "a greater land
slide. The day Of dirty politics In Oklahoma is
done. Ho whom the gods would destroy He
naketh angry. So the political iackals may at
tempt to destroy our great feminine leader from
Muskogre An attack by this mongrel would
have the same effect that the Scott Ferris cam
paign had in clecting Harreid,
We believe that every clean minded man ana
woman wanted to think OF Mrs Jake Hamon as
a real woman who had been unfortunately
mated to an immoral reprobate prolifgate As
such she would have sought to draw the mantle
of forgctfulncss over a mIsspcnt lie. instead
OF the acts that would have stamped her leader
she has sought to perpetuate the very condi'
lions that have brought blush Of shame To
The cheeks OF every citizen who has any sense
OF moral turpitude. Every person convcrsant
with the current event in Oklahoma during the
past 10 years IL not at all surprised at the IN
fanny In the life of Jake Hamon as exposed by
the diary OF his paramo +. Now his widow
would raise monument to the name ana nave
the people do reverence to the memory or
man who has dragged the name OF our iair state
In putrid 1uagmire of immortality She would
put n premium upon such "A life of iniquity.
II seens that some ministers are not strong
enough to resist the glamor OF Jake lannon's
millions. In this we heartily endorse the state
ments of Rev ]" $. barton In his SUNDAY ser
mon a. published in The World. We would let
the mantle of charity be silently drawn over the
life OF the late committeeman and forever hide
beneath the silent wave in the sea OF oblivion
the faults OF "A depraved and vicious life, But
IL seems that his widow and cabal would
profit by IA further besmearing of escutcheons
OF the republican party and the name of Okla
homa The republican party its great
victory, not with the aid OF Jake Hamon, but in
spite OF the handicap placed ON 1t by ms bane-
we venture this prophesy: Certain attorneys
win got tat fees for the defense OF Clara smith
Inmon, Brown VIII get a lot OF free adV"rtis-
ing and will come out for some public office at
the next election. His chief claim viii be see
who I am | prosecuted Clara Smith Hmon."
IN the meantime she will have become the great
pst attraction nt the vaudeville stage For hav-
ing played his part, making it possible for her
TO draw down few thousand per night, she
win keen his name before the public,
The pastors Will add To her popularity by de-
nouncng her fr9m their puipns on SUNDAY. The
newspapers lend their mighty aid In further ad-
vcrtisng her by special feature articles In their
sunday editions. Five years from now Clara
barton Smith Hamon will he "A greater movie
star and vaudeville attraction than Harry X.
Thaw's eX-wife. Clara Smith will hc brought To
rial in due time This great hue and cry about
her game of hide and seek Is only part OF the
game, The people Of Ardmore will pay their
part In the taxes I'm paying the cost OF proscCu-
don. That viii be their part OF the tree ad-
vcttisng,
The moral hyenas who profit by such shows
win put up stiff fight, The moral perverts
win lend their aid and assistance. Watch for
ler book,
Yours truly,
WM NJ. GRESHAM.
