governor OF Oklahoma, and after four years ~,
much needed reformation and reconstruction,
political and economic. this same J. c. Walton
will 20 TO the United States sonate-and per
haps, who knows, but what he may then march
triumphantly into the white house? STRANGE
and seemingly more impossible things have
happened in this world. II Is certainly not az
entire impossibility and. in my opinion h
entirely probable. The working class OF the
United states are aroused today as never he
fore. The struggle for existence has become
50 intense and the opportunity to gain n bare
subsistence more and more stringent and tragic
that the mass Of people Of this country viii
be driven by every necessity to undertake som.
radical and stupendous economic renoyati"n
The so-called middle classes, admittedly tho
bulwark Of the present system OF econor,te
slavery will be ultimately driven into ,b b"olnIe e
of the radical proetariat. All signs point to
the early eonsummation Of the glorious dream
and deeire OF the social revolutionist.
Yes, your words have covered your facos

the very words fall from your voracious mouths
you etand iorth revealed as the most venomous
and repulsive and fanatical exponent Of class

exists or could exist.

thing. namely the economic interest and Sc

Your talk about right and "morality" 4,

plains the fanatical and mendacious attacks
which are made on j. c. Walton and the re-.
ploiters have raised the emoke-screen OF right"
and personal unfitness' in order to conceal
their real motives and interest In this campaign
OF lies and defamation.
just want 10 say this to you and your
narrow, prejudced. Ignorant and suprenely
credulous reader Il speak OF that portion who
have glorlously and perspicuously revealed
the intrinsic asnnity and blgotry OF their minds
through the columns OF your capitalists shee1.
Jack Walton will be the next governor o,
Oklahoma. His majority may be 1000 100.
1t matters not how large the majority he re-
ceives may be-the fact desire 10 stress IS that
he VIII be the next governor OF Oklahoma. And,
In this connection, your efforts 10 put Fields IN
under the hypocritical title Vote for the Man
Will prove the boomerang that will return 10 hit
you right where you thought 1t would land on
Walton. You ask why the Walton men have
been showing Fields up personally and exposing
his cussedness and incompetency instead OF COM
filming their discussion to the issues OF the m
paign. Well, this is the reason. Fields claims
TO be the better man OF the two---and justifies
his claim to democratic support on the ground
that he is far better qualified and more TT
than Ia Jack Walton. He has let up on this
plea some though. since Walton began TO prove
to the thousands of voters throughout the state
who flocked 70 bis meetings that Fields was no
man at all-just a reasonably fair excuse for
a man.
No real herman. the kind the great vigorous
aggressive he-men OF Oklahoma demand In a
leader will dress the front OF his face up IN the
kind OF nausca;ing regaiia that adorns the
countenance of John Fields As for ability and
integrity-well to compare Fields TO Walton is
like comparing the glow of a lightning bug 10
the glorious effulfgence OF the MONDAY sun
the bray OF "A tackass to the inspired melody OF
a Caruso, the speed of a snail 70 that o. Il
comet. This Is why Walton attacks Fields
personally and this is why Fields has put tho
soft pedal on his pleG for support on personal
grounds and confines himself TO appeals to the
class Interest OF the pluts and their henchmen.
Yours very truly,
