AN INTENTIONAL MIS-.
STATEMENT

STATEMENT
For several days the Lawton News,
Republican Gore organ, has carried
Mt the head Of its editorial column,
right under its masthead, this state.
ment
THE Democratic national con-
vention at San Francisco ratified
and approved Senator Cores posi-
ton in favor of ratifying the
league Of nations with reserva-
tions. The convention repudiated
Ferris position to ratify the league
without reservations"
Inasmuch as the News is a Repub-
lican organ, a newspaper which will
be doubtless found boosting the game
of the Republican nominee for the
exalted office of United States senator
from Oklahoma, after August 8, and
inasmuch as the News has not been
any too conservative in following the
straight and narrow pathway Of truth
in the senatorial contest now on in
the Democratic party. between Mr.
Gore and Congressman Ferris, we en-
tertain no feelings of surprise that
such a mis-statement appears in it
each day.
OF course We're Gore and his satil-
ties making a clean campaign, were
they making a gentlemanly campaign,
were they making a campaign in
which common decency prevailed, no
such a gross distortion of fact would
be permitted to appear upon the
editorial or any other page Of any
Gore newspaper. Republican, Social
ist or Mugwump.
But Gore is not making a clean
campaign; he is not making an hon
est campaign; he is not making q
truthful campaign; he is not making
a campaign upon an honorable rec

before the voters Of Oklahoma wear
ing upon his breast the medals Of
loyalty to either his party or his
country.
Opposed in his race for reelection
by the true blue American newspapers
Of Oklahoma, among which viii be
found all but one of the Democratic
faith and some of the Republican
faith, Ike the old drama, Mr.. Gore
"stoops 20 conquer" He fights with
unfairncss ana without honor and he
uses any sort Of weapons with which
10 fight. He stoops to conquer he
grovels in tho dust TO win, and he
gladly welcomes the cheering assist.

News, Republican, when, were his
record irreproachable and clean, he
would have standing behind him ,he
Lawton Constitution, Democratic
newspaper Of The most unimpeachabls
type.
The reading, thinking, honest. up
right, principled voters of Oklahoma.
those who have kept themselves post
I'd upon The issues of the day, know
that q more depraved fusehood was
never peddled to the public than the
statement, Gathered, mo- doubt. by Mr.
Gore himself, that the national Democ-
racy at the San Francisco conve..
lion, ratified and approved Senator
Cores position ir tile league of na-
lions plank which it embodied in its
platform.
Had Mr.. Gore have been loyal TO his
country in its hour Of need, had he
have stood by the president when he
needed the loyal support of every red.
