Democratic primary and an appeal for
all Republicans TO vote FOR Harreld
in the Republican primary.
The World editorial is interesting
for the reason that the World has
consistently boosted Senator Gore for
the senatorial nomination over Ferris
and has just as consistently criticised
Harreld's vote 10 seat Victor Berger.
Probably the severest criticism that
Harreld has ever received for his
support Of Berger came from the
Tulsa World. II now comedies that
Ferris will defeat Gore and changes
from an outspoken opponent of Har.
reid TO an outspoken advocate Of Har-
reld's nomination. Its reversal Of
policy is striking and the reason for
its reversal is striking.
The Republican party is a party
OF leaders. 1t follows its leaders and
listens to their suggestions. For sew
eral months those leaders have been
watching the fight in the Democratic
ranks and figuring on the best politics
10 play Those leaders know that if
Gore is renomnated a man ike Ern-
est Blake is the proper man to run
against Gore They know that Cores
nomination would disaffect thousands
of Democrats who would support
Blake in preference to Gore. They
also know that if Ferris is nomi.
mated, Harreld is the proper man
TO oppose him, for Harreld will appeal
strongly To the radical element that
is supporting Gore in this primary
campaign
Therefore the Republican leaders
/ have followed closely the development
| in the Ferris-Gore contest They
| have had their lieutenants watching
the fight in every precinct in Okla.
homa They were ready to concen
trate on a candidate like Blake, If
Gore should show signs of winning.
The fact that the Tulsa World. the
leading Republican organ Of the
Southwest, has come out for Harreld
means that the Republican leaders Of
Oklahoma are concentrating on Har-
reid. II also means that Republican
reporters at the grass roots in Okla
homa have reported that Gore is
losing out and that Scott Ferris will
win tie Democratic nomination.
The Word editorial is the most
interesting straw that the campaign
! season has yet developed. 1t means
| that the Republicans of Oklahoma
have become convinced that Ferris
is going to defeat Gore next Tuesday.

SCOTT FERRIS

Scott Ferris, Democrat, Oklahoma,
American is to speak at Convention
Hall, corner Broadway and c street,
northwest, this evening. He extends
10 all a cordial invitation to come out
and hear him PROFOUND his views
and advance arguments as to why the
people of this state should name
him their junior United States sena-
tor.
Scott Ferris comes before the people
of Ardmore and Carter county, as he
comes before the people of every
other town and county in Oklahoma,
asking their support and their assist
ance in gaining for him the honor
he seeks, with a clean record ana
clean hands. He comes before them
with L record Of Americansm of
which any man might feel proud.
He comes before them as a man who
has served his constituency well, as
man who has served the people OF
his congressional district in such
manner as TO reflect credit not upon
himself alone, but upon the entire
state Of Oklahoma. He comes before
them as man whose record as a
public servant shows that he will,
rs q United States senator bring
credit and honor and recognition to
all the people of this great new
state.
Scott Ferris comes before the yot-
ers of Oklahoma as man who stood
by his country in its hour Of stress
ful need as a man who represented
the wishes of the loyal element of his
constituency during the war; as
man who voted that members Of
congress be NOT exempted from
military service; as a man who voted
10 increase the soldiers pay; as
man who had the courage Of his con.
yictions and voted upon all matters
appertaining to the successful prose
cution of the war, as a true Arneri-
can should vote-as all true American
members of both branches Of the ma
tional legislature did vote

SHEAS ORIGINAL STAND,
Tulsa. Okla, July s, 1920

Tulsa. Okla, July s, 1920.
Editor Tulsa Tribune,
Tulsa, Okla.
Dear Sir
| have noticed in today's Tulsa
Daily World. under Barometer of
Public Opinion Judge John j. Shea's
comment on Cores Services to Oil
Men 1t is direct appeal to the
voters of the Oklahoma oil producing
districts to support Sen. Gore as
against Scott Ferris in the coming
primary election. in recognition Of
Cores services rendered In the prep
aration and passage OF a tax bill fav-
orable to the oil industry.
1 1t is not my intention TO take from
him / think, however, when Judge
Shea, who is filling an important po-
stion as u representative of the oil
producers in Federal Tax matters and
Tax legislation in Washington, d. c.,
gives Senator Gore credit for services
rendered and ignores Scott Ferris, his
opponent, and other members of the
Oklahoma delegation for like services,
he is unfair
| have before me Judge Sheas re
port made to the Mid-Continent Oil
and Gas Association ON February 18th,
1919. In this report Judge Shea pays
tribute to Senator Owen, Senator Gore,
Congressmau.Elect Il. b. Howard,
Scott Ferris and many others for the
work they accomplished in legislation
favorable to the oil industry At page
eight and nine of the report referred
to there will be found this para.
graph:
II desire now, while the matters
are fresh in my mind, to give
credit wherever it is due to all
those who aided US in securing
this legislation, and, in this con
nection, | particularly desire to
mention Sen. Charles Curtis, of
Kansas, HON. SCOTT FERRIS,
Hon Bert Gambler and Congress
man Hastings. Of Oklahoma, all of
whom rendered us material aid and
service, and were tireless in their
efforts to bring about this legisla-
tion. All of them kept in close
touch with the situation and had
to do with the final successful re-
suits obtained"
This paragraph is in accord with
sentence in an earlier letter OF
November 5th, 1918. from Judge Shea
TO ]. f. Darby, Vice President of the
Mid-Continent oil and Gas Assn.
In that letter Judge Shea says:
Everybody has helped and contrib
uted in bringing about the results
already accomplished.
AS above stated, the writer OF this
letter desires to be fair to Sen. Gore,
but he sees no good reason why Judge
Shea should now forget to mention
the important part which. according
to his own past statements, Scott
Ferris played in securing just treat
ment for the oil industry in the mat
ter OF taxation.
Yours respectfully.

Ferris that ho Is u big, overgrown
boy who would not add dignity TO
the very dignified United States sen
ate were he nominated and elected TO
that honorable body. II has also been
charged against him. by his oppo.
nent, that he is q pretty man
the prettiest man in oklahoma"
To the first Of these charges 1t
might be answered that, admitting
Ferris is big boy, no great big,
good natured boy ever committed q
wilful wrong; that every great big,
good.natured boy has ever been found
willing associate with the good and
moral element and do ms the good
and moral boys do. And Ferris
record while in the national house
of representatives., shows he always
played in the front yard with the
white children and was never found
in the back yard hobnobbing with
the bad Republican boys.
As to the charge that he is a
pretty man" the prettiest man in
all Oklahoma" we do not feel COM
petent to express an opinion Ideas
of beauty differ However. we can
say that Ferris ought to he pretty
man" He comes from the state Of
Missouri, a state noted for its pretty
women, its handsome men and its
rock.ribbed Democracy The writer
of this article was born in Missouri
and knows whereof he speaks and
would not take issue with anyone
in the matter Of Scott Ferris beauty.
We were, when we were younger
lerab'e good looking ourself.
Speaking seriously, the arguments
advanced against Ferris have all been
answered, refuted and controverted
and the efforts to hold him up to
ridicule by referring to him as a big
boy" and pretty man" are falling
fiat
Whenever a man can go before the
voters of any state backed by a clean
and honorable political record, backed
by a clean and honorable life, able
20 answer every charge made against
him with successfully proven denials,
armed with documentary evidence
against all malicious slanders which
have been cast at him. II takes more
than the cheap ridicule Of peanut
politicians to laugh him out Of the
good graces of the men and women
whose franchises he seeks.
The Ardmoreite supports Scott Fer
ris because The Ardmoreite believes
him to be of that noble brand of man
hood, known during the war as 100
per cent American" The Ardmore-
te supports Scott Ferris because he
voted with his country when his
country needed his support; because
he did not kow.tow TO the German
Kaiser or bow and smile To the Ger
man embassy at Washington. The
Ardmoreite supports Scott Ferris be-
cause he has proven himself loyal to
his God, his country and his party.
And The Ardmoreite believes. when
the voters are counted. that a goodly
majority Of the Democratic voters Of
oklahoma will be shown to believe as
does The Ardmoreite and to be lined
up in the Scott Ferris column.
The election day is near N.

declaring that even with higher prices
consumers would get natural gas for
much less than they would have TO
