The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-07-25
GORE

Senator Thomas I. Gore, erStWhlle 1eXas
Popuist, later Oklahoma professed Democrat
later still applause recipient of the Republicans
of Oklahoma and of every draft-dodger and
Stacker in Oklahoma, spoke in Ardmore Friday
night
His address was we'll received by a large audi
ence but in all fairness to The Ardmoreite
we ask everyone to take this statement with a
grain of salt, as Senator Gore, in his speech,
repeatedly warned everyone within sound OF his
voice not to believe anything they might read
in the columns of this paper.
1t would be useless to review Senator Cores
address. 1t was, as any who heard him, and
who are far-mnded, will acknowledge, series
of half-truths, interviewer with jests and Jokes
and comingled with vitrioic attacks against The
Daily Ardmorete and the Daily Oklahoman and
the respective editorial writers upon those
sheets.
Reaching his climax in the jest line, the
Man of Many Promises, the man who so faith
fully inisrepresented Oklahoma during the war
With Germany, stated that Ardmore had been
overlooked by the national legislature, that the
town should receive some consideration IRON
the pork-barrel committees, and that, Just as
soon as he should be reelected he would per-
sonally see to it that jail and an insane asy-
lum should be built here by the government,
AID that the editor of The Ardmoreite should
be incarcerated in the one, while the editor Of
the Oklahoman should ind an abiding place IN
the other.
This same cheap Joke has been perpetrated
by Senator Gore with the necessary change in
the personnel Of those whom he would lock be-
hind bars of steel in almost every town wherein
he has given utterance to his views backed and
appauded by the Republicans and Socialists who
were within sound of his voice.
In the little city of Tuttle, over in Grady
county, few days ago Senator Gore proposed
to build Jail and an asylum and have locked
within these institutions the mayor Of the town
and the people who denied him the privilege OF
speaking in the tabernacle" wherein Baptist
revival was being conducted. At Tuttle Senator
Gore was escorted about the town by one Ham,
ricks, editor OF socalstic sheet, and one
"Judge" Henry, whose son is today alleged to be
q fugitive on draft-evasion charges. And at
Tuttle it was that o good American wife and
mother refused an introduction to Senator Gore,
asserting that she had already met more Social
lists and disloyalists than she cared to know
and that she did not wish to be dishonored
through adding to her list of acquaintance the
champion n-American of Oklahoma, Thomas
Pryor Core.
When Senator Gore sprung his worm-eaten
Joke at the Convention Hall, in Ardmore Fri
day evening, he was applauded to the echo, the
Joke being received as good one, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it wore whiskers.
In this connection we would say, without seek
ing to defend the Oklahoman or its editorial
writer. that none upon the editorial staff Of The
Daily Ardmoreite have ever come so nearly with
IN hailing distance of penal institution as tc
have been, at any time, under indictment fol
violation of any law Of the land especially fol
the violation of the sanctity of woman.
Reared by God-fearing, Christ-loving moth
er, with the memory of her spotess and Christ
ian life still fresh in our heart, remembering as
though it were but yesterday the smile OF I'M
mortal happiness which curved her lips wher
she gasped God bless and keep you, my boy
and then closed her tired eyes in that endless
sleep which comes to all the human race, We
