scott Ferris, candidate 10 succeed
T. p Gore as the junior Oklahoma
member of the United States senate,
asks the men and women of Okla
homa for their support, for their
votes, because he is an American
above all else, and because he be
iicves the public officer, no matter
now exalted Il position he may hold,
is servant Of the people, elected
by the people, whose first duty is
to the people.
Scott Ferris puts America and Am
ericansm above self.aggrandi2ement.
He has stood by the president of the
United States because he is the eX-
ccutivc head Of the American ma
ton; he has never attempted to
block the wheels of congrcssional ef-
1iciency ana has q record. as Nom
bjf OF the house Of representatives,
lAlird States congress. which shows
he practices all he breaches.
While Scott Ferris. in the house.
voted with his party and with his
president, how did Gore vote in the
senate?
The Congressional Record tells
story which cannot be successfully
contradicted. a story which does not
speak well for Senator Gore as
supporter Of the people who elected
him, of the PARTY whose standard he
should support OF the president who
Is the executive head Of the combined
United states government.
Horc is 4 part Of Senator Cores
record in the United States senate:

by refusing TO stand with the friends
OF tie peace trcaty-the only demo-

ious republicans ana other stand.pat
senators, al of whom are determined /
to destroy the league.
THUS II Will BE- observed that when
So hostile amendments were hurled
against the league seeking to break

tuaths of the worlds surface. niua-
t"rths of the worlds wealth and
p0wcr of the world Senator Gore.

supported every one Of these attacks
o. absontcd himself and refused to
take q position ON them. Not n
single time was he willing to stand
by the treaty; by the president; by
his governments " his party, by
thr friends of the league.
Thus it will te observed that he
was the only democrat who was un-
willing to keep the faith.
Thus it will be observed that each
time he aligned himself with Pen.
rose, Lal7olletto ana others who were
unwilling to stand by their govern
mcnt in the hour of stress.
Thus it win be observed that out
nf SO senators in the senate of the
