GORE SENDS A LETTER
New Sensation in Oklahoma's
Politics Furnished by
3 Appeal for Revenge

The latest sensation in political
circles in oklahoma Is a letter from
the headquarters OF the Gore Nolun-
toers which, while thanking them
for their services to the senator, Is
calculated to excite them to retaliate
against the ghoulisn methods OF the
Ferris organization leaders and cdl-
tors In mutilating the dead
The outburst against Gore after
hisS defeat has been even more vicl-
Gus, II that were possible, than dur-
ing the campaign. Not content WIN
defeating the blind senator the state
machinists seem determined 10 class
the 10000 men and women who sup
ported him, as pro-Gcrman, bolsheV-
lists and outlaws.
Tho letter follows:
"I am writing you to express sin.
cere and heartfelt appreciation OF
your fidelity to the cause and candi-
dacy Of Senator Gore.
"The Gore Volunteers supported
the senator ON account OF their talth
IN his character, loyalty and ftness'
This organization. as its name Inn
niles was an organization OF the
senator's friends, not connected with
his headquarters, but seeking the
same end They made clean dlg-
rified, and under the circumstances,
n most remarkable fight. They
fought in the faith that he serves his
pYrty best who serves his country
best.
"As democrats. interested in the
principles and ideals of true de-
mocracy we cannot choose but de-
plore the fact that the opposition
did not proceed upon the same lotty
theory. There are no better clu-
zens, no better men or women man

and their patriotism cannot ana VIII
not be challenged by those who re-
snect the truth 1t is a matter OF
regret that such democrats should
have been subjected to crusade or
calumny, abuse and villification, as
1t is matter OF regret that senator
Gore should have been subjected to
n campaign of misrepresentation IN
which the facts were suppressed ana
the truth was perverted ana
manufactured record submitted 10
the public for condemnation.
at is to be regretted that the sup
porters OF Senator Gore were stigma
tized as bolshevists. |. W. w" an
archists. and pro-Gsrpans. when
thousands Of them have sons still
sleeping in France.
"The Gore volunteers have great
cause to congratulate themselves
when they consider the odds against
which they contended. Every ma
chine politician in the state was
bitter in his opposition to the
senator. But what is more to he
regretted, the democratic press was
not only hostile, but many of them
would not even carry paid adVer-
tisements to correct the false
charges and misrepresentation
which had been poured out In tor
rents against the esenator. Inc
people were therefore denied the
facts upon whicp to base judg-
ment as It was Impossible for the
senator to address but very rev
of the people taken as a whole.
You probably know that mum

excuse me for not detailing them

Of the machine politician doubtless

though II docs not excuse the re-
sort to falsehood and calumny
Which has had no precedent In the
past and hope will have no paral-

Truth was discounted and false-
hood placed above par.
"The senator himself has not ut
tered a word in resentment OF all
this misrepresentation and mis-
treatment. His only statement upon
the subject is enclosed. except an
expression OF regret that his friends
were subjected to such unmeasured
and unmerited abuse. In view OF
