Gle states. mo one pretends to deny that the
Gore-Ferris senatorial contest left sores when
will not be healed"
Every Simon-pure Democrat in Oklahoma,
no matter if he We're a Gore supporter or a
member of the Ferris clan, knows that the
clouds Of battle rolled away leaving no sore
spots among those of Cores supporters VINO
We're really Democrats. Every Simon-pure
Democrat in Oklahoma knows that the real
Democrats who supported Gore, will follow the
lead set them by Gore himself, and rally to the
support of the ticket named, working from
now until the close of the polls on election day
for the success of Oklahoma's Democracy. VI
course the disgruntled fellows who were Demo-
Gratis for the occasion only, may go out ana
how about the steam roller" and the machine
politicians but they cannot kick up enough
discord and strife to bring about any dlssats-
faction in the ranks of the states Democracy
And the vote in the recent primary cleo
tion-the Democratic vote-proves beyond the
peradventure Of a doubt that any talk about
"Wilsonian fronts and war theories and
European affairs" being paramount to Amerl-
ca and American interests, are but cries oil
"Wolf. WOLF when there is no wolf that the
Democratic voters Of Oklahoma, men and wo-
men, have made careful study Of the national
situation and know that in supporting the poll
cies of Wilson, they are supporting the policies
of a true Americanism
In another place in the article referred to-
the writer thereof says.
Naturally all of these perpleXltles
can be to some extent modified and obllt-
Grated in the event that the lineup on
the national ticket becomes the one pre-
dominant question. Should the Demo-
cratic nominee for president prove so
popular in the state as to drown any
other feeling, Republican hope of victory
would vanish. On the other hand, a
strong Harding wave of sentiment would
add very materially to the prospects
of local Republican success"
After having carefully viewed the Demo
cratic situation in Oklahoma, and compared
it with the situation which the Republicans
would like to create, and which Harlow's
Weekly evidently assumes already exists, we
cannot find any of the ''perplexities' whlch
could BIZ modified and obliterated.
We will admit, however, that Harlows
Weekly is correct when it says that "a strong
Harding wave Of sentiment would add very
materially to the prospects of local Repuohcar
success" But in admitting this, we tall TO see
any fountain-head from which such a wave
might eminate, the wave which would drown
in its onrushing and fathomless abysses al
hopes of the Democracy winning out in OKla'
homa, in the November election. -.
We will concede that the writer OF the poll
teal forecasts, as they appear from time &c
time IN Harlow's Weekly, is a man well posteo
in affairs of political kind, especially as tne
same apply to this state, but in conced'ng TINS
we must admit, and he must perforce, Join WIZ
us in the admission that in making the tore
cast, as the same appeared in the August I
issue of that paper, he gazed into the myster
ious realms of tine future and viewed the stars
of necromancy through a lense which seems
to have been smoked by a Republican lamp.
