The Coal Situation
Altus, Okla., tf-18 1918-
A. L. Perry, Duke, Okla.,
Dear Sir:
The State Fuel Administrator
has written me that we are to
face with a serious situation.
It is up to you and me to keep
the people of our country from
shivering next winter. I no not
mean that you and I must ac
tully buy the coal, but we must
arouse th people to the neces-
sity of buying early; take the
Judge Robertson Nails a Carnard.
I regret that oue of the candidates for Governor is attempting by false
representations to mislead the voter as to my position on the Gross Pro-
auction 1 ax La* by saying in substance that I am in favor of reducing the
rate. I am not in favor of reducing the present rate of 3 per ennt, believ-
ing it to be just and equitable, and until it is conclusively shown by thor-
ough and careful investigation that such rate is inequitable and unjust
either too high or too low. I shall stand unequivocally for the present rate
I court just and honest criticism of mv position on ail public questions,
but detest willful and malicious misrepresentation such as is being resorted
to by one of my opponents J B A ROBERTSON
