ANOTHER CANDIDATE OFFERED.
The Daily Ardmoreite. in leng
thy editorial, offers Senator Char
les f. McPherren as the man who
could be nominated as the demo-
cratic candidate for governor and
who would carry the war into the
heart of the enemy's camp in an
effort. which would be crowned
with success, to redeem Okiaho-
ma to the democracy. to wrest it
from the hands of the republicans,
to put it back where it belongs,
in the column Of safely democratic
states"
1t must be Kresumed that the
editorial was Apired by the fact
Of McPherren's standing as u mill
tary man. He is brigadier general
in the national guard you know.
Consequently, the belligerent Ian
guage OF the editorial.
THE enemy" had better begin
digging its trenches. AS strate-
gist, the general is said to be strict
ly at home among the hot shots.
But what has happened to the
Ardmoreites bonn for Judge
Champion? And is it possible that
when the McPherren germ fails to
Find fertile soil, the Ardmoreite will
bring out Clara? Something must
be done for Ardmores distinguish
ed citizens.-Okmulgee Times (Re-
publican.)
The Ardmoreite is always willing tc
reproduce views other editors may en-
tertain. diametric TO our own. We take
pleasure in doing this when the ex-
preston OF the opinion held in con-
troversion to our own shows clear elu-
cidadon of real thought and broad
minded understanding We also az
may be noted by our reproduction of
the Times editorial, are willing to give
space TO cynical expressions eminating
from minds so partisanly narrow that
anything which may appertain to the
Democratic party and the individuals
constituting its personnel must be
viewed through the wrong end of the
editorial telescope.
The Ardmoreite in advancing the
name of Senator McPherren as logi-
cal candidate for the office of governor
OF this great state, a candidate put
forward by the party which has done
SO much in the development which has
made Oklahoma the greatest new state
this nation has ever known, has not
sought 10 advance his claims for the
honor through detracting from the
claims which Judge Thomas w. Cham
pion might have.
The Ardmoreite recognizes ability,
integrity, broad-nlndedness and homes
ty Of purpose IN both Senator McPher-
rem and Judge Champion, even as ii
recognizes the same sterling attributes
in President Harding, thereby eyidenc-
ing It's ability to do 4 thing which the
Times finds impossible to acknowledge
real worth and true character in
leader OF the opposition party
Senator Charles McPherren Is
broad man. man Of ability. u clean
man and logical man for the Demo
Gratis Of Oklahoma to nominate as their
candidate for governor at the next
election.
Judge Champion is. also, a broad
man, q man Of ability, a clean man
and man who would be logical can
didate for the office Of chief executive
Of this state. He is q man who would
serve his people with honor and dis
tincuon in that office, just as would
Senator McPherren. Also, 1t may be
said Of him that his shoulders are
broad enough 10 wear the toga which
United States Senator owen will lay
aside two years hence, while his mind
IS amply filled with that store Of valu-
able information which is ever found
SO necessary an attribute TO the real
statesman.
Thus 1t may readily be seen that the
Republican organ Of Okmulgee may
have q chance to sharpen It's lance
anew and enter the lists against both
the legislator and the Jurist.
Noting the closing remark of the
Times in which he suggests that IN
our efforts to DO something for Ard
mores distinguished citizens, The Ard.
moreite may ultimately seek the
nomination OF Clara Smith Hamon. we
viii state that inasmuch as Clara has
trained In the political camp to which
the Times owes allegiance. we find
ourself forced to-be, content with per-
mitting the Times editor TO champion
her cause. shouldsshe decide to. carry
the equal, suffrage banner toward the
