RENDERS OPINION IN

The question of calling a special
election for the purpose of voting on
certain amendments to the city charte
seems to have been definitely settled
at last and last night R R. Sneed
one of the attorneys for tho citizens
committee who have asked that this
election bo called received a written
opinion from tho attorney general
stating that the legal phases Involved
and over which there has been con-
siderable controversy had been passed
upon by him favorably to the com-
mittee. Tho following letter wus addressed
to the nttorney general by commission-
ers Fraley Wilson and Carter asking
for an opinion.
Honorable S. P. Freeling
Oklahoma City Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
"The Hoard of Commissioners of the
City of Ardmore has been requested by
a great number of tho citizens to
submit certain proposed amendments
to the Charter of tho said city which
would place tho city under the mana-
gerial form of government.
We entertain some doubt as to
whether wo huve power to propose tho
amendments or to submit these amend-
ments to the voters at a special elec-
tion; that is we are uncertain wheth-
er it Is necessary lor us to wait for
a general election in tho City of Ard-
more at which to submit tho proposed
amendments.
Will you please advise as to
whether Bald amendments under the
law can be submitted to the voters
at a special election.
The reply of the attorney general
follows:
Oklahoma City
July 2S 1920.
Hon.""W. S. Fraley
J. L. Wilson
Tom Carter
City Commissioners A
Ardmore Oklahoma
Gentlemen :
Receipt is acknowledged of your
recent letter in which you request
the advice of this ofce as to whether
or not the Commissioners cf Ardmore
may propose amendments to the
present charter of the city to be
voted on at a special election. You
state that you are uncertain wheth-
er It Is necessary to wait for a gen-
eral election In tho city of Ard-
more at which to submit the pro
posed amendment.
Your request is answered in tho
affirmative. Without discussing tho
statutory and constitutional provis-
ions in connection with the subject I
am of opinion that tho legislative
power of the city of Ardmore (which
of course is the city commissioners
of the city) muy submit such amend-
ments to the electors of the city to
be voted on nt a special election call-
ed for this purpose and that said
amendments become part of the or-
ganic law of the city and bind-
ing upon all of Its citizens when
ratiticd by a majority of the qual-
ified electors voting thereon and ap-
proved by the governor.
Very truly yours
(Signed) S. T. FREELING
Attorney General.
In view of tho fact that the three
commissioners agreed to call the
election If the nttorney general sanc-
tioned tho legnllty of the act tho at-
torneys for the citizens committee
stated last night that It seemed to be
assumed that the commissioners would
take Immediate action In the matter.

JIM REED DENIES THAT
HE STYLED WILSON AS
A JACKASS BUT CALLED
Nevada Mo. July 24. Senator James
A. Reed in an address hero today
denied that he had ever indulged In
personalities In speeches with refer-
ence to President Wilson's position
on the league of nations issue. He de-
clared while he had criticised certain
utterances and acts of the president
that he had too much respect for the
great office of the - president to at-
tack him personally. The senator
also stated that ho had never had
a personal difference wljh the presi-
dent and that for a man who is pres-
ident I have nothing but a kindly
personal feeling.
"It has been recently said that I
referred to the president as a braying
animal" said Reed. "I made no such
expression with my lips; certainly
net Intentionally. I was referring to
arguments that had been repeatej
by many people and to some gross
misrepresentations and In tho heat
of an extemporaneous speech did use
the expression that what I said was
trut notwithstanding the braylngs
which were being heard but nothing
was further from my mind than a
reference to the president.
"Thero are however some men who
are constituted so they are incapable
of understanding that thero can be
differences of Judgment without per
sonal acrimony. This class of indi
viduals und newspapers has per-
sistently ascribed my opposition o
certain great national and Internation-
al affairs to the fact that at one time
a difference existed between the pres-
ident and myielf over the appoint-
ment of a postmaster In Kansas City.
"It must be indeed a small mind
which would attribute to any man
so contemptible a reason for his pub-
lic acts. A dispute if it can bo culled
a dispute occurred during President
Wilsons' first term. Long before tho
president's second campaign the post-
master general called me to his of-
fice expressed regret that any differ-
ence had arisen and asked me for
my recommendation. At that time
tho man whom I had originally re-
commended a Mr. O'Malley had em-
barked in business and did not desire
the appointment and had so stated.
Thereupon Mr- Steele my friend for
20 years was appointed to the po
sition.
"This occurred as I havo stated
before Mr. Wilson's second campaign.
I entered that campaign with every
energy I possessed. Somj speeches I
made In the senate wero used by the
national committee as a campaign
document. The stutemcnt that Missouri
gave Mr. Wilson something over 23-
000 majority giving me substantially
the same vote. I am claimed to credit
but I simply cite Is as an Indubitable
fact mlserablo character of tho work
which has been persisted In for two
or three years."
In launching Into tho league of
nations question Senator Reed de-
clared the republican platform Is a
straddlo and tho democratic platform
an evasion. "The American people
ought to tolerate neither' he as-
serted. CIRLS RUN AWAY! FOUND

Dayton July 24. A change In tho
place for notification of Governor Cox
takof his namlnatlon by the democrats

with local interests.
The event may be transferred from
Trails End his home ttvo jniles out-
side of Dayton to the Montgomery
county fal rgrounds near tho city.
Facilities for the crowds expected on
August 7 were the moving factors in
the proposed change. The fair grounds
bessides a grandstand seating several
thousand with a large raco course

ing at Trails End if the governor
doubts whether the natural ampithea-
tre at Trails End where he had plan-
ned to deliver his address would en-
able all visitors to hear him.
Tho notification ceremonies are In
the hands of the democratic national
committee but a local arrangements
committee Is to act and ufter further
conference with Governor Cox definite
announcement is expected next week.

ing his Itinerant carefully and that It
now appeared probable he will make

touring the central and eastern states

Roosevelt is In the west. The governor
said that in October he' probably would
deliver some addresses in southern
states and the remainder in the con
tral and eastern territory. He said ho
plans little personal work In Ohio.

for a few hours today looking over
livestock and other Interests on his

Harding Will Nut Discuss Debs.
Marlon July 24. Although declar-
ing for "generous amne;ity for politi-
cal prisoners" Senator Harding declin-
ed today to express an opinion regard-
ing the case of Kugeno V. Debs soc-
ialist nominee for president who is In
tho Atlanta penltentlaty following con-
viction of attempting to obstruct the
draft.
Ho outlined his position in a reply
to President Christenson presidential
candidate of the farmer-labor party
who telegraphed both Senator Harding
and Governor Cox ascklng them tha"t
they use their influence to secure ex-
ecutive clemency for Debs.
"I havo your telegram relating to the
release from prison of Eugn V. Dbs."
Snator Harding wired. "I believe a
heartily as you do In freedom of
thought and speech and press within
the limitations which guarantee our
liberties and I can well believe wo
differ little about tho uses of that free
dom when the republic is In peril.
"I believe in generous amnesty for
political prisoners but this broad policy
does not Justify a hasty disposition
of any case befort It Is considered
on its merits. It Is not for me to re-
view a particular caso and it is im-
possible to utter an opinion without
such review."
The reply to Mr. Christensen was
made in a general clean-up of tic-
cumulated correspondence. A larit?
part of tho senator's task was ac-
knowledgment of the many m?ssage

FERRIS TELLS AUDIENCE
AT HDLDEN VILLE THAT
HE DOES NOT WANT THE
SUPPORT Of SLACKERS
Holdenville. Okla.. Juyl 24. (Special)
With the streets of Holdenville Jam-
med with the assembled crowds and
with the windows of every avail-
able window furnishing grand stand
seats Holdenville this afternoon ten-
dijed a remarkable. recupVa la
Scott Ferris candidate for the Dem-
ocratic United Slates senatorial nom-
ination. Early in the day farmers began
arriving in the town and at 2 o'clock
it was conservatively estimated that
fully 1000 out-of-town visitors w;ere
here to attend the Ferris meeting.
"It Is without doubt the most en-
thusiastic reception ever tendered a
candidate here" said Charles Orr a
former captain in the American Ex-
peditionary forces when Ferris had
finished his speech. "I heard Seni-
tor Gore here" continued Mr. Ocr.
"and I miss my guess if there were
5U Gore supporters left after Mr.
Ferris had finished his argument to-
day. His address wa sa real master-
piece." Mr. Orr Introduced rM. Ferris and
paid a glowing tribute to the record
of .the Lawton congressman as a na-
tional legislator and a 100 per cen;
American.
"While In France." Mr. Orr said "$
was frequently called upon to. apolo-
gize for the actions of the Junior
senator from Oklahoma and I could
only answer that the condemnations
wero Justified but my friends I uuai
up my mind that when Mr. Gore
again came up for endorsement at the
.hands of the people that if I were
alive I would do all in my power to
help administer the defeat he so richly
deserves."
During the course of tho afternoon
Ferris spoke at Calvin to over 1000
pioneers.
"We're for Ferris" said Senator Eon
Harrison in introducing the Lawton
statesman "because we recognize that
he qept the faith while his opponent
was pursuing an un-American course
and from what we know of his record
we feel that no Oklahoman is better
qualified to represent this great state
in the United States senate.
Ferris In both his speeches received
the deepest attention as he recited
his record and the record of his op-
ponent. He was interrupted with
prolonged applause when he made the
statement that he "didn't Want the
support of the radical slackers who
hated tho government and who have
not dared to show their colors since
1917."

TOM WATSON ENTERS RACE
AGAINST SENATOR HOKE SMITH
Atlanta Ga July 24. Thomas E.
Watson former congressman from
Georgia and at ono timo candidate
for president on the populist ticket
has paid his fee for entering th?
Democratic primary for United States
Senator September 8 It was an-
nounced here late today.
Mr. Watson It Is believed will be
opposed by United States Senator
Hoke Smith who has not formally
announced but who his friends As-
sert will be In the race.
An audience mat part:af:y JSTTefl Con-
vention Hall heard Senator Gore pre-
sent his claim for re-election to tho
United States Senate Friday night
and the senator being In good form
delivered an nddress that was given
marked k ttention throughout.
The speaker was introduced by Eu-
gene Cruce in a few brief remarks In
which he Intimated that the press of
the city and Ftate would belittle thov
meeting and make light of the en-
thusiasm shown but "we do not ex-
pect anything els-e" said Mr. Cruco
and askd only that tho audience give .
a respectful hearing to what the
speaker had to Bay.
Mr. Cruce stated that tb.e report
had been circulated that tho American
Legion as a body Is opposed to Sen-
r.tor Gore this ho snid is untrue that
the Legion is strictly a non-partisan
organization und is not and never
would be a part of any political ma-
chine that he as a member of tho
organization knew whereof ho spoke.
He further said that tho report had
been circulated throughout the state
that at tho meeting of the Young
Men's Democratic Club held at Ponca
City recently the club had denounc-
ed Gore and had gono on record as
favoring his opponent.
This he characterized as untrue also
Btating that he was a delegate to that
meeting from Carter county and no
such action as rejKirted took place.
Mr. Cruco then discussed briefly sever-
al other phases of the campaign be-
ing fought by the blind senator and
his opponent and concluded by Intro-
ducing the senator who spoke for about
two hours upon the issue of the cam
palen.
Through his address Senator Gore
took occasion to fire Fhols at the Daily
Oklahoman and The Dally Ardmore-
ite characterizing them as "machine
organs" furthering the cause of his
opponent for a reason and appealed
for support upon the record he has
established In the United States sen-
ale. He wns interrupted several times
during the course of his address by
hearty applause and was compelled
upon more than one occasion to pause
until quiet could be restored.
The senator reviewed his record an
i United States senator and dwelt
upon tho many measures ho had
criginated and others he had sup-
ported. He told of his opposition to
some legislation and gave his rea-
sons for so doing.
He wns given a respectful hearing
by the audience many of whom are
opposed to him in his race against
Hon. Scott Ferris for the Semite and
nothing occurred to mar the meeting.
At the conclusion of his address many
wen" forward and shook hands with
him. A number of the senator's sup.
I oi lers were here from surrounding
counties.
Compliments Gene Cruce.
Senator Gore prefaced his remarks
by a courteous acknowledgment of the
graceful manner in which Gene Crace
had Introduced him lo the uudlence
and stressed the fact that Cruce Was
an American and a member of tho
local lMist of the American Legion. Ilu
also called attention to the fact that
another member of tho Legion wu
making speeches for him and that a
brother of R. L.. Williams former
governor of Oklahoma was also mak.
ing Fpeeches in his behalf through-
out Oklahoma.
Mr. Gere stated that he felt honored
by tho presence; of so may who had
turned out to hear "both sides of tin
question" despite the f;ict that they
hud thus far heard only one side "the
side published by the Daily Oklaho-
man and by The Daily Ardmorello."
In this connection the speaker aveied
that the people here had heard only
the side of tho machine politician
and stated in positive language that
the '
"Democratic Nowsapers are Con
trolled
by the state politicians and I havo
been unable tn get them to publish
my skip of the story so I havo been
compelled to come to you in person
and tell you tho truth; I know that
you want to hear the truth and I J
am grontly gratified to havo this a-l
burance from your presence."
Carter County In tho Fast-
Mr. Gore next paid n tribute to Anlv
more and Carter county and spoke
of the manner upon former occasions
of his candlducles this county and
city had rallied to his support and
given him handsome majorities. He'
stated that ho had rendered Charley"
Carter the congressman from this
district the most valuable posslbla
aid In making him nn able represen
tatlvo of the wants of the Oklahoma
peoplo who are citizens of this con.
gresslonnl district.
Move Washington to Ardmore
Mr. Gore then stated that he
thought very highly of Ardmore and
thut If Ardmore gave him a majority (
on August 3 he wouui move tn
national capitob from Washington to
Ardmore "where It should havo boon
40 ypnrs ago" (or ten years before Ard.
