\ POLITICAL BLUNDER

The irony Of fate and the uncertain
ties cf politics are both illustrated in
what happened to the owen candidacy
at San Francisco. The Muskogee plat
form was one OF the strongest en-
Gorscments OF President Wilson that
has ever been written and is supposed
% have been written by Senator owen
himself. But the senator seems tC
have become convinced that Bryan's
support would be sufficient to name
The candidate of the convention. For
four months there has been an indi
cation that Owen was courting the
favor Of the Commone~, ard many
Owen supporters have been fond of
saying that Owen would win because
afield did owen go in search of Bryan
support, that many of his friends
came TO consider him an opponent OF
Wilson and almost as strong in his
opposition as Reed and Bryan. There
is no opposition or connection between
the declarations of .'us ogee ard the
apparent attitude o. owen at San
Francisco. Then came the clash at
the big convention, and Bryan, whose
favor owen had no industriously court
ed, received the severest defeat of his
lifetime. At the final showdown Bry
ans support was valueless.-Musko

GORE SUPPORTERS DESPERATE

! On June 2S the Daily Oklahoman
published what purported to be an
apology to Senator Gore. The article
was entitled "Amende Honorable
and in it the newspaper was repre-
sented as retracting many statements
it has made against the senator.
Two days later after running down
the evidence in the case. the Ollaho-
man printed in a most conspicuous
manner on its front page, complete
exposure of one Of the most vicious
shystcr tricks ever perpetrated in the
history Of Oklahoma politics. 1t was
shown that the so.called apology was
surreptitiously slipped into the Okla.

Our compliments TO Senator James

that complete justice is done TO a
man by his own state, and by his

ceived it,
He has been. during his whole term

He served during the war, the in
terests of the enemies OF this coun.
try 9t every opportunity. He has
served in addition the interests OF oil
those, without distinction of purpose
or methods who knew how 10 seem to
make it worth while. He mas a genius
for choosing evil causes and an APP
parent mania for betraying the right,
the patriotic. the just. More than
anyone in public life that we can
think OF, he is the type of man VINO
made the supreme betrayal, and has
been dismissed with the eternal epi-
taph he went to his own people e
In SO far as this world can fur
nish a place suitable to Senator Reed
and only another and worse place
could fit him out altogether appro-
priately-he has reached it. He
! thought he had, and for a long
time did have. his Missouri cons,itu.
ents in the hollow OF his hand. Tor
he il an able man. although his abl-
ity he enlisted ON the size OF evil.
He mal.gned every man who was
moved by right and sincerity. He
fought every good cause. He was
what can best be described b. the OLD
medieval law Latin term. "advocatus
diabo!.."
Such men usually escape punish
ment here. They have lesser fallen
angels to help them. and their qaal
tiles command certain fascination.
But there is none TOO small or too
mean TO speed Reed out. His own
state refused to permit him 10 rep
resent 1t at the democratic con.
vention. He could not even hold L
proxy. And when he forced a con-
test, the national party representa-
tives rejected him as unfit to sit
