To- women. feel impelicd II tell
yuu now very much mistaken you

lcd machines could work thotr VIII,
when personal Blander aud abuse
OF ouc'g opponent was tolerated In

ant electorate viii from now on play
very important part In the poll
ties uf this state Women did not
work tirulsssly for years for tho
ballot 10 use q 10 promote the IN
tcrcsts Ot ma Jhine politician, who
cares nothing TOR the jugticc ot the
CadsC. who Knows not the meaning
Of the word truth aud whose vision
IL 30 warped and distorted by mere
partisanlsm that this splendid state
could expect nothing from him at
Washington except scrvilC following
OF democratic autocracy.
II cannot understand tho mental
processes that lead you from the
aide OF a man Of gigantic Intellect
llko senator Guro TO the sausc of ~
man OF the mediocrity or MIR. Ferris
Surely we Gore volunteers must
conclude that YOU arc more partisan
than sane. You must recall that
you were one OF that motley crew
who Mr.. Ferris branded as disloyal-
ifts, traitors. ct cetera. II maybe
the otmcs ot the masculine part
OF our electorate TO allow them
roNcs 20 be classified In that man
ner and then to scrvilcly do chores
for n party leader who spoke Of
them In those terms. The women of
the electorate have another code,
YOU may be sure OF that. Mr.. Owen,
sSome OF you men may bo uncertain
In your attachment To the ideals of
c!tienship--governm may means
no more'to you than an opportunity
for partisan prefcrment, but IL IN
different with me and q lot OF
women with whom have "a personal
acquaintance. The government OF
ones state and nation should hold
second place tn nothing except ones
religion. From that viewpoint IL
IL would bc impossible to persuade
me TO endorse or In any way lend
my support to anyone using the
rampaign methods that Mr.. Ferris
nnd his supporters seem to be ac-
qunintcd with.
'As to republicans supporting
Senator GOre--ccrtalnly they did il
,nocds none OF your affidaVits to
.proYo that Why should they not
iS!nce when did II become criminal
1or people tol support n statesman Of
High order a man of national rcpu-
Ration, a man whom Oklahoma Is TO
be congratulated upon having as her
representative I'm the worlds great
eSt Legislative chamber. | personally
know many republicans who were
absolutely sincere In that champion
ship and so do you. Senator Gore
iS the duly elected ropresontatii. of
both democrats and republicans and
all of us who appreciate ability of n
hlgh order honor him. Moreover.
] am told that several OF
the most servile Ferris organs
Including the Daily Oklahoman and
tIusllogee Phoen N---were at one
lime or their editors were republl-
ANS Now. Mr.. owen, lust what
" the difference between this type
OF republican support OF Mr.. Ferris
and other republican support OF
senator Gore and the newly formed
lJeffersontan club? | am a regis
