Accusation that Ferris Was Missouri
Republican Candidate Refuted
In Affidavit from "Show Me"

ADMITS MADE CHARGE
BEFORE HE HAD "DOPE'
Misrepresentation of Republican Can
didate Flayed In -Statement
Issued After Charge En-
tirely Cleared.
Oklahoma City Oct. 20. Declaring
that J. W. HarreUl republican can-
didate for the United States senate
wau- resorting to methods "that
would shame a ward politician" Cam
Campbell chairman of the- State
Democratic Cnmpuign committee to-
night declared that" Ilarreld had
proven himself unworthy of the sup-
port of any honest fair minded citi-
zen. Mr. Campbell said "For several
weeks Mr. Ilarreld has. been making
false asertions' and misrepresenting
the facts apparently having utter
riisregard for the truth. In all of his
rpeeches he ha-3 as--1 i ted tha'. Scott
Ferris had been a Republican in
Missouri. When confronted with on
absolute denial of the charge at
Tulsa Monday he 'wiggled ami
wabbled' and said he made the
statement on the authority of II. C.
Carpenter of Okmulgee where he
'-poke Saturday October li. Who is
Mr. Harreld's authority for the same
charge which was made in this
sreech prior to last Saturday?
"Mr. Harreld's charge has been
without reservations. lie now admit
that it was based upon a statement
made to him. after he had asserted
l!ir falsehood for swernl weeks. Thl?
admission alone is enough to dis-
credit him in tho eyes of fair mind-
ed honest voters.
- "Mr. Harrold could easily have as-
certained the falsity of his charge
hut evidently preferred to spread the
malicious canard without regard to
'Is truth.
"I give below a signed statement
from the chairman of the Democrat-
ic Congressional and County Commit-
tees of Neosho Missouri where Fer-
r's was born and reared provious to
settling in Oklahoma:
"Neosho Mo. Oct. 19. To the vot-
ers of Oklahoma We emphasize de-
nial of any statement implying that
'Scott Ferris was ever a Republican
or ran for office as such in his
county here in Missouri. Jle was al-
ways a clean straight Democratic
voter from twenty-one up while in
Missouri. Any statement to the con
tray is absolutely false.
(Signed.) '"L. E. Mitchell chairman
Fifteenth Congressional District of
Missouri.
"Fred G. Hubbfirt Secretary New-
ton County and Fifteenth Congres-
rlonal Democratic Committee of
Missouri.'
"This is only one instance in
which Mr. Ilarreld has utterly dis-
regarded the Truth in his frantic ef-
forts to switch the attention of the
voters from his vote to allow Victor
Berger to sit as a member of Con-
gress after the Socialist leader had
been convicted and sentenced to
prison for treason to his country. It
will ibe remembered that the Tulsa
World on January 12th 1320 editor-
ially flayed Ilarreld for that vote.
The World of course did not know
Mr. Ilarreld would be a candidate
for the United States senate when
it condemned his sympathy for a
traitor to America.
"In his speech at Muskogee rec-
ently Mr. Harreld made the abso
lute statement that 'Scott Ferris was
r.'issnt on the vote to allow Berger
to retain his seat. The falsity of this
statement can ba ascertained by
looking at page 1"99 of the Congres-
sional record for the fifith Congress
recond session June 10 1920. Mr.
Turn's was present and voted against
rllow'ng Berger to retain his seat.
Mr. Har-eld was present and was
n'-e of the six who voted to allow
f" disloyalist to sit In tho congress
of the United States.
' In several of his speeches Mr.
Ula-reld has made two other direct
false statements to which we have

FOR NATION ARE LOW
Refers to School Census as Shown
by Age Comparison in Chicka-
sha Count; Says Many
Towns Decrease
Requests for another census enum-
eration in Chickasha have been de
nied by tho bureau of tho census
Mayor S. C. Durbin is advised in a
letter Just received from W. M.
Stewart assistant director.
Protests were filed by the Chicka
sha Chamber of Commerce and May
or Durbin after the census bureau
had announced the city's population
as 10179 a decrease of 141 from
the 1910 census. Evidence and fig
ures showing a remarkable growth
of the city's population during the
past ten years was submitted by the
Chamber of Commerce. This data
was ignored and a recount denied
by the census department.
In a letter received by Mayor Dur-
bin W. II. Stewart assistant direc-
tor of the census bureau says:
"A careful examination of the orig-
inal returns for Chickasha has been
made and it has been found that
the total number of school children
and youth aged 6 to 20 inclusive
compared with the total population
of that city shows a ratio of - G.2
or in other words that there are 3.2
persons for each child of school age.
"The number of school children in
Chickasha in 1910 compared with
the total population of that year
shows a ratio of 3.4 and a similar
comparison for tho county a ratio of
3 0. A very slight difference there-
fore exists between the 1910 and
1920 ratios which indicates that
there can have been no serious de-
fect in the enumeration of that city.
"The population of the United
States has already been announced
hence it is now too late to 'check
the enumeration of any city unless
ot dence is tyr-heft of previous
error. So far as can be judged from
the data in possession of the bureau
there would be no good reason for
making such a check of the enum-
eration of Chickasha.
"It is regretted that the results of
the census of Chickasha are so un-
satisfactory to the people of that
place but is must be borne in mind
that the population of the country
as a whole is not showing as great
an increase during this decade as
during the preceding one and that
a considerable proportion of the
smaller places are showing an ac-
tual decrease.
"This large falling off in the rate
of growth for the country as a whole
is due mainly to an almost complete
cessation of immigration for more
than five years preceding the taking
of the census in January last and
in some degree also to the epidem-
ics of influenza and tho casualties
resulting from the world war."
