CLASS STRUGGLE

Editor Ardmoreite:
In your issue Of August 4, there ap-
peared two editorials the sentiments
expressed in both were fine and to
which every citizen VIII give assent.
However, considering the attitude Of
the Ardmoreite and its methods in the
late political fight its change Of front
as expressed in those editorials, are
somersaulie TO degree. that If some OF
US should remain a little skeptical ana

Your statement that Walton nomi'
nation was the result of a desire for
progress and antagonism TO conser-
vatism and reaction n. government is
true, however, you appeal against class
feeling and acton has come too late by
a number of years. The class fight is
here TO stay. Right acton might
minimize it but it can't be stopped.

THE COUNTY PLATFORM

What the Carter County Demo-
cratic convention does at its meet
ing here Tuesday as relates to the
Democratic platform for the gen.
eral election. will not necessarily
greatly influence the state conven-
tion called for August Is. and yet
this county convention has a voice
OF no small magnitude because its
desires and wishes will be balanced
with the desires and wishes OF the
other counties Of the state in de-
termining what the state party viii
actually do.
The Ardmoreitc mas no inclina-
ton to dictate to the county con-
vention. What we here suggest IS
not so much our own idea OF
theorv as it is that of hundreds OF
Democrats who voted against the
selected candidate for governor
and it must be remembered that
more people voted against Mr.. W all
ton than voted for him.
We sincerely hope that the coun-
" convention will go on record
here Tuesday as favoring a plat
form wholly and purely Democratic
for the general election. This does
not mean that the Democrats must
denounce or evade all of the planks
in the campaign platform OF Mr..
Walton in the primary. There are
number of planks that have toE
their aim the welfare OF masses OF
the people in Oklahoma. They are
we'll and good. The Democratic
party has always functioned for the
common people as against the in
terests. Special privilege is Repub-
Icanism. Government control IS
Socialism. The rule of the whole
people is Democratic.
The Democratic party doesn't
want 10 go before people OF the
state with plea for class legis-
lation. whether it be for the rich
or the poor. Pledges that are III
themselves unconstitutional, such
TAX emption, and soldier bonuses to
be derived from certain groups may
attract a few votes but they cannot
be fulfilled and will be destructive
IN the end.
Neither does the state, through
the democratic party or any other
party. want to go into business OF
an inherent private nature. Let's
let individuals do that-and circum
scribe the limits OF those individuals
rather than Try TO run such enter
prises.
1t is necessary that the Democra-
tic party give and take in perfect
ing its general platform Thous-
ands OF voters registered radical
tendency in this recent primary and
their voice mus, be heard whether
We like it or not.
As the Ardmorei,e sees il. the
Democratic party is not composed
this year OF conglomeration OF in
compatible elements as some may
th,nk-Democrats everywhere are
cropping for the selt-same things
namely, TO bring rule back TO th'
Who'll. people-to rescue IL it yo,

politicians. With this in mind j
IS entirely possible for the Carte
county convention to advocate
