IN THE LAST DITCH

The final move does not always indi-
cate the playing of a trump card.
This was evidenced when the last
tactical efforts Of the German generals
failed to stem the tide of the advancing
allied troops against the erstwhile i'm
pregnable Hindenburg line.
Thus we see that the last move fire.
quently lands the ones who make it in
the last ditch, fighting with their backs
to the wall and knowing that ignom-
inious defeat is bound to come to them.
1t has been said that Omnipotence is
ever with the right, and that the right
will prevail in the end. If this be true
the fight, the uncalled for and dirty
partisan fight which has been conduct
ed against Governor Robertson, will
ultimately result in his complete vindi.
cation in the eyes Of the public, and in
his acquttal by the jury of Public
Opinion.
The latest move against the chief
executive Of this imperial state, smacks
stronger of petty politics and smells
more extensively Of bitter prejudice
than anything which has heretofore
eminated from the ranks Of those who
would get the governors goat, no mat
ter how badly the interests Of the state,
at large and Of the people, generally
may be injured
The latest move, the alleged effort to
bring about the governors recall, is
blow aimed to injure not the governor
of Oklahoma alone, but every citizen
of the state, no matter what his politics
may be and no matter how he stands
in the commercial world 1t is a move
calculated to give the entire state OF
Oklahoma black eye away from home.
1t is move which may be styled a
child of sin, conceived in corruption
and born in iniquity.
Fathered by Clark Hudson, recogniz-
ed as a Bolshevik in Oklahoma's poll
teal field, man who once posed as a
Democrat. but who, today, has no
standing in his own party and who is
seeking to draw to himself the spot
light Of publicity through plowing with
the political harlots of the Republican
party, the petition which asks for The
recall of Governor Robertson and the
naming of Tom Gore as the head OF the
states affairs can be characterized only
as the dirtiest piece Of the dirtiest poll
tics Of all the dirty politics which has
been played against the peace and dig
nifty OF the people Of Oklahoma since
the first day the Republican majority
membership of the house of representa-
tives Of the eighth legislature was
sworn into office.
The most unscrupulous savages Of
pioneer days could always find Simon !
Gertys who, forgetting that they We're
originally Of white blood. We're found
ready and willing TO tomahawk their !
own kind. TO scalp their own people, to |
plunge the knife into the vitals Of those |
who were once their fraters. And so It |

cans, with all the dirty tactics pursued |
by the house, had TO 20 into the ranks |
OF the political rencgades and Demo |
crat apostates t. find the man who
was willing to add this last bit OF odium
to the fair name OF Oklahoma.
II Governor Robertson has been guilty |
Of grave and scrlols offences against |
peace and dignity Of the state over
which he is the presiding officer II he
has been guilty OF deeds which are
against the interests Of the people OF
Oklahoma, Il he has been guilty Of NAL
fcasance In office II ho has been guilty
OF wrong doing OF any kind. Of conduct
unworthy a gentleman and a public
official then be should be Immediately
from office and summarily |
