that office in November
I am unable to learn the author of
the communication referred to. but am
of the opinion that it was written by
someone who is neither friendly to me
nor friendly to Judge Ross. The mo-
tive for such communication, I think
can easily be understood.
So far as any difference between
Judge Ross and myself or any sever-
ance of our friendship, either politi-
cal or personal, is concerned, there is
absolutely no truth in such report, and
no ground upon which to base such re-
port. , _ .
Mr. Ross knows, and the Comanche
county delegation knows, that 1 am
supporting Mr. Ross and desire his
nomination at the Oklahoma City con-
vention. and believe that such nomina-
tion will be made.
It is not a fact that I selected the
Comanche county delegation to the
congressional convention. That honor
was conferred upon Judge Ross and
the delegates selected were named by
him.
I think that tho object of the com-
munication printed in Sunday's State
Capital was to lead the democrats in
counties outside of Comanche to be-
lieve that Comanche cotlnty democracy
is not desiring Ihe nomination of
Judge Ross, when the fact is that no
man could have a more solid sup-
port from his party than Judge Ross
has from this county.
