SCORE GORE ON OIL
Marriage "Emporium

SUPPORT OF STATE First Days Of Week
Dumped Big Lead of Taxes On Far-
mers When He Saved Oil Pro-
ducers Large Amount of Money.
Under title "Senator Gore boasts
he saved the big oil corporations $39.
000,000," a committee of Oklahoma
farmers has taken a hand in the Gore-
Ferris campaign.
The attack takes the !<y.m of a
letter addressed to Gore himself, and
says:
"Dear sir:
"You boasted to the oil men that,
you saved, them $39,000,000 in taxes.
You told them you saved one big
Tulsa oil corporation $2,000,000.
"You are telling the farmers and
poor people of western Oklahoma
that you are being mistreated. You
are deceiving them and tryin« to fool
them into voting for you.
"Did you know when you saved
the big rich oil men from paying the
enormous tax you dumped the entire
burden on the backs of the farmers
and poor people? Yet you pretend to
be the farmer's friend.
"Our taxes were already too high.
Now we must pay this additional $39,-
000,000 you claim you saved the oil
men.
"Do you know that Judge John J.
Shea, paid attorney and lobbyist for
these big oil interests, is writing let-
ters to all the big oil companies ur-
ging them to support and vote for
you?
"Is it not a fact that Judge Shea
got upwards of $60,000 for his ser-
vices in getting that legislation thru
congress?
"The United States treasury depart-
ment officially reports that fourteen
big oil corporations each made a sur-
plus profit ranging from $240,000 to
$463,000,000 during the war.
"If you had really been the far-
mer's friends, as you claim and pre-
tend to be. you would have made the
big oil corporations pay more tax-
es. You would have helped us get
our taxes reduced instead of piling
an additional burden of $39,000,000
on us.
"We can't blame Judge Shea and
the big oil interests for cliaming you
as their special friend. But we are
not going to be fooled any more."
The letter is signed by:
H. O. Miller, Norman, Okla.,
(member executive board of the Ok-
lahoma Farmers' Union): T. D. Scott
Watonga, Fred Abshire, Fagte City,
M. L. Price, Fay. J. R Whistler, Wa-

5UARTER DUES ARC DUE
STATEMENTS SENT OUT
Quarterly dues for the period end-
ing October 1 for the Chamber of
Commerce are now due and payable,
says C W. Kuwitzky, secretary.
Statements to over 300 members
were mailed nut from the office Wed-
nesday. The statements represented
a total of over $800, he added.
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Daniels from
Tulsa are visiting Mr. and Mrs. John
Gibbs. They came in from a motor
trip through Texas where they have
been visiting their son.
| I lipid brought in three couples
within a hall hour I uesday, -so that
the later ones stood in iine and mark'
i'd time while the front end oi the
lint was having it.-, license issued and
i Knots tied by Jud. i Allen.
! First up at 4:.<U i y the deputy's
Iwri-1 watch came a K'*y young pair
iiripping the stairs with an extra girl
in attendance to divide the duties of
brides-maid, best man, witness, chai>-
< rone and spectators with herself.
After some hesitation in the hall, the
bridegroom drifted into the county
clerk's office and inquired for a "hunt-
ing license, then blushingly corrected
himself and vouchsafed that a mar-
riage license was his desire.
While this ceremony was being per-
formed th • county courtroom by
the judge, a middle-aged couple were
coming up and inquiring of the de-
puty "Is the county judge in?" As
the young pair "joined until death do
us part, left their knotting place, the
second couple passed on in for splic-
ing.
Sleeves Rolled Up Already
During that ceremony the bride-
groom who had evidently been driv-
ing a car, did not trouble to roll his
cuffs down not even for his wedding
I tucked his straw unconcernedly
under his left arm so that his right
would be free during its performance.
Men, if you marry intentionally or
even accidentally as it were, be sure
to roll down your sleeves and for hea- |
veil sakes straighten yonr hair. That's i
just a tip from one of the fair depu- I
ties at the courthouse. Take it for j
what it is worth.
With the departure of these non- ;
chalant mates, the third twosome ,
came stepping in. They were a nice '
looking pair, who were old enough
to have been parents of the first
young lovers, records showing them
to have been well in the fifties. After
this third knot in the quick succession
of three in a half hour's time had been
consummated, 5 o'clock, which is
court house quitting time, came and
the doors were locked.
Fourth That Night
The fourth couple that day called
up the county clerk about 10 p. m.
and wanted him to come down and do
them up in marriage bonds. He point-
ed them to Court Clerk Glen Morris
and it is thought that he secured the
liscense for them by climbing in at the
transom of the judge's office since
he lost his key some time ago. The
license was on the marriage record
iu \t morning when the office was op-
ened, at any rate. Who performed
this double hitch is not known.
Monday a couple secured a license
and wired back from Oklahoma C it y
that the slip was not used. It would
I feel funn v to have paid your check
.'ltd then have the fjirl back out on the
I)ir i.j•' sition, would it not ?

OVER ADVERTISING
DEFEATED M'ADOO
G. B. Parker addressed the Ad club
yesterday at the regular meeting.
The speaker asserted the the gorg-
eous climate and other attractive
features of California are over-ad-
vertised and as a regular " all the
year 'round" climate, Oklahoma is
superior to the western state.
Tj^at William G. McAdoo's cam-
paigners also overadvertisel and by
that method brought about the de-
feat of their candidate was also ci-
ted by Mr. Parker. Streets and ho-
tel lobbies were so crowded with
boosters of the former secretary of
the treasury that other delegations
became heartily disgusted and a uni-
ted effort to "beat McAdoo" was
launched, Parker asserted.—Oklaho-
man.
The Geo. N. Gouy drug store at
Blanchard was robbed one night the
past week, the burgs getting $380
in cash and a number of checks. In
commenting upon it, the News says
Blanchard needs a night watchman
and street lights.
