Talihina Legion Commander
Gets "Retort Courteous"
From Campbel.
A recent attack .upon th«* World
War Veterans launched by Giles A,
Kelley, cashiqr of the First National
Bi^nk of Talihina. Oklahoma, and
county commander of the American
Legion of his community, has result-
ed in an exchange of letters between
him and Joe Campbel. state com-
mander of the World War Veterans,
which is of general interest.
Following is the letter from Kelley
and Campbel's reply:
June 18, 1922.
Mr. Joe C. Campbel, State Com-
mander.
Supposed World War Veterans,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
Your circular letter dated June 12
at Oklahoma City, reached me today,
and contents are noted. Allow me
to say that I would be pleased to
have the pleasure of meeting you and
your officials for a personal conver-
sation, so that I might be in better
position to discuss the statements
which you have sent out.
I would like to know it you. and
your associates really have seen ser-
vice in the recent war, and also if I
your permission was given to the
socialist party, or the Farmer-Labor
league, to mail this literature. If
these two questions are answered in I
the affirmative, then I must say to
you, you are not the kind of men
who should be protected by our stars |
and stripes. How could you as a
ONE MAN SENT TWENTY-TWO
A'ew courage is the word contained in every letter.
The boosters are at work and subscriptions are rolling in.
Some time between now and July 1 we will pass the mark
of ONE THOUSAND new subscriptions obtained on our
present drive. This means nine thousand more to get. but
they will all come with the determination that has taken
hold of our good readers.
More of them are at work to get more circulation
than on any previous drive. What a wonderful showing
we could make if the nearly eleven thousand mail readers
would ALL get busy and do their share to solve the Lead-
er circulation problem. Eleven thousand determined men
and women could absolutely swamp us.with circulation,
if they would just do it.
The LEADER is such a mass of information every
day, that it is really selfish on the part of our readers
to keep this wealth of information for themselves. It
should be passed on and made available for your neigh-
bors, for your fellow farmers and workers. To secure
unity of action rn ihe political field, uc must have a daily
newspaper reaching practically every farmer and worker
in the state. It is through this method that we can obtain
the unity of thought and action necessary for the build-
ing of a powerful Farmer-Labor movement.
There must be no let-up in our campaign for the
20,000 subscribers. Take your place in the ranks of those
pushing for this goal. One man sent in twentu-twq in one
day. All can not dq that well; but all could send in one
or two and thus do in >ne day what it will take a few
several months to accomplish.

headquarters? Have you read the
disaster which North Dakota is
going through?
"Some Experience.**
Having had some experience in
politics I realize that enough money
will do most anything, but above all
things, you should be ashamed to
sell the spilled blood of America's
blooming manhood who gave their
lives on the battlefields of France,
that we might continue our present
form of government and freedom.
Do you know what the socialists
would like to do for our great state
and our institutions? An organization
which willingly and knowingly sends
out such literature as yours has, if
your organization did this, is a dis-
grace to the men who wore the uni-
form during the late war. Being
the county commander of the county,
will inform you. that your friend
Walton will receive no votes In this
county from the ex-service men.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) GILES A. KELLEY.
County Commander.
Campbel's answer to the above
communication follows:
June 24. 1922.
Mr. Giles A. Kelley, County .Com-
mander, American Legion, LeFlore
County. Talihina, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir: Your reply to our re-
cent circular letter at hand, and
though your phraseology is not such
as to warrant the kiml consideration
of a courteous reply, we shall disre-
gard that fact and answer you in the
most clear and concise manner
within our poor vocabulary.
We are sure you would not discuss
the World War Veterans' principles
in the sarcastic manner in person
that you do by correspondence, and
the pieftsure of meeting you would,
I am sure, be mutual, for 1 am sure
that you wou^l better understand
our aims and principles though you I .""o
might not agree with us.
Stands By Letter.
The insult in your question, "I
would like to know if^ou and your
associates really have seen service
in the recent war,' is almost beyond
forgiveness, and a gentleman would
