USING THE LEGION

Using the American Legion tor
political purposes. That is what IS
being done az this time, and the
Ardmoreite knows that such machi-
nition is distasteful to leaders OF
that organization who have fought
hard to prevent it from being used
to further the personal ambitions OF
any man or set OF men.
Ross Lillard, candidate for lieu
tenant governor is one OF those who
IS so using it. We reprint in toto
letter he is broadcasting over the
state.
Dear Friend and Buddy:
This is to advise that am
candidate for lieutenant governor
on the democratic ticket at the
primary to be held in August Of
this year. and / am desirous OF OBJ
tanning your support, realizing your
influence among the ex.service
men Of your community.

who is asking for the nomination
on the democratic ticket for state
office. ! served % months in the
army during the recent war, l3
months being served in France.

Of the American Legion, and. in
company with five others, organlz-
ed the legion in Oklahoma City,
in April, 1919.

senate, and, in conjunction with
other patriotic senators, We passed
the hospital bills and all matters
pertaining TO the eX-service men,
with, only two dissenting votes
against these measures.

II you could conscientiously sup
port me and If you would pass the
word around among the ex.service
men that I am q candidate. The Of

That very kind OF thing hampet

OF such intrigue
Ross Lillard is all right, so (;
as we know. He may deserve ii
support OF every legion man, but !
has destroyed his influence vii
this paper, and possibly with nun
bers OF legion men by deliberate
using his past affiliation with II
legion as a means OF getting vote
The fact that he served his coui
try deserves consideration, but tn
should be merely looked upon
one asset. The fact that he wou
use the legion in his candidacy
such an extent should work again
him. And that goes, so far as "
are concerned, with every 9th,

likewise.

MANuEL'S LIGHT TOUCH

Manuel Herrick. congressman from
Oklahoma. is thought a freak around
the capitol Manuel wants to so up IN
the air and do stunt flying. Manuel
doesn't hesitate to tell the world he
considers himself catch. In spare
moments, and he has most of his mo-
ments to spare. Manuel can dash off
a bit of verse. such as this latest charm
ing thought:
II when we fly away on high,
We should fan down and die,
Anyone who wants TO cry
Must rub an onion in their eye.
Why does the fragrance of these new
noble numbers" win no appreciation!
Because Manuel's feet aren't right
Hardly, not half his fellow congress
men would know it. Because Manuel
talks about anyone" rubbing an onion
in their" eye? No, that isn't down
on the list OF sins. And asuredly not
/ because Manuel wastes time.
No .Manuels technique Is poor His
touch is light. He ought TO soar only
In oratory. or call his flying trips in
