Gore Writes
Oct. 9, 1914.
My dear Sir and Friend:
I write to advise you and through
you to advise the Democracy of the
State of my desire and of my impati-
ence to be on the firing line at this
moment. I owe it to myself, to the
party and to the people to give an ac-
count of my public service and to con-
tribute so far as In me lies to the tri-
umph of the entire Democratic tick-
et. Our ticket deserves to succeed.
Jt will succeed. Williams will win as
Wilson won. The State administra-
tion will duplicate the splendid and
patriotic record of the National ad-
ministration. I am anxious to share
the labors and the laurels of the com-
ing victory.
I am detained in Washington by an
imperative sense of publicduty, Two
of Oklahoma’s leading Industries have
been stricken down. Our people are
suffering the calamities of a foreign
war for which they are in no wise re-
sponsible. The European war has
closed European markets to our cot-
ton and our oil. The cotton farmers
are threatened with the loss of from
35 to 40 million dollars. The present
price is less than the cost of produc
tiou. The Senate has already passed
ttie bonded cotton warehouse bill and
amended the emergency currency law
with a view of bringing relief to the
cotton situation. I feel obliged to re-
main here and assist in the enactment
of any other legislation which promises
to relieve the distress of our people.
The oil industry has suffered a simi-
liar fate. The price of oil has fallen
from 81 05 in Arpil to 55 cents per
barrel. This means that the state is
losing nearly #1,000,000 a week. In
addition to this loss the war revenue
bill as passed the House imposed a tax
of two cents per gallon on gasoline,
etc. This tax if shifted to the inde-
pendent refiuers1 would have cost our
state 810,000,000 a year It would
have enabled the Standard Oil trust
first to crush the independent refiners
then to crush the independent pro-
ducers and then to shift the tax to
the unprotected consumer. This
would have rendered the monopoly
and the despotism of that trust more
absolute than ever.
I waged a vigorous war against this
tax. We succeeded in the Democratic
Caucus in defeating the gasoline tax
by a majority of three votes. The
bill will pass the Senate in this way.
The danger is that the tax may be re-
stored by the Conference Committee
I can not'consent to leave Washington
until the Conference Committee has
reported and untill I have exhausted
every resource in my power for the
protection of this important industry
In our state. I believe that the pub-
lic will justify my course in remaining
here at my post. I can not reconcile
any other course to my sense of official
duty. I wish to prove myself a friend
and a servant to my people in the
hour of their need. At the first mo-
ment I shall report for duty and to
battle for my own success and for the
success of Democracy. In the mean-
time I must commit my fortunes into
the hands of my friends
With hearty good wishes, believe
me.
Truly Yours.
T. P. Gore.

-Dr. Geo. Six, the eye man, was at
the Buckley Booming house Monday
and considering it was the first real
cool day of the season there_was not
as many people in as might be expec-
ted. The doctor was however well
pleased with the amount of business
he did. Watch these columns for his
return dates.
—Last Sunday night when Ray Cox
was going home after church, Fred
Rule was riding a motor cycle without
lightsanda collision took place and
young Rule had a gash cut in his fore-
head that required several stitches to
close it up, Ray’s buggy had several
spokes jarred loose and other wise in-
jured.
-Mr. and Mrs. G. W. White and
daughter, Mrs. Oscar Jless were cal-
lers at thisoffice Monday and renewed
their subscription for another year,
this was Mrs. White’s first visit in a
printing office, and said there was
more work connected with the mak-
ing of a paper than she had any idea
—I. E. Melcher went to Wichita Mon-
day to bring a New Studebaker ”6’
home that he had bought from J. C.
Burchfiel. The Studebaker "6” is
having a big run in this part of the
“moral vineyard,” and bids fair to
change the advertised ratio “that
every third car you see is a Ford.”
—Mrs. Uriah Dombaugh, Mrs Belle
Smith, Miss Fanny Smith. Walter
Roach and family of Bluff, City, Ed
Roach and famlfy, Charley Smith and
wife of Gibbon, Mikey Eoach of Med-
ford, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs
L. P. Roach last Sunday.
Come away, my sweetheart. Darling
Let us wander, all alone,
Mid the leafy bow'rs of Eden.
Where sweet flow’rs are thickly sown:
Where the murm'ring zephyrs whisper
Through the trees, at eventide.
I have something I would ask you
Will you be my loving bride.'1
Thus, an ardent heartless wooer
Sought, and won a maiden<-fair:
Stole her charms, and then, forsook her; 1
Left her weeping, in dispair.
Did she love him? She adored him.
Loved, not wisely, but too well:
And, the sequels, of her trusting
But too true, her story tell,
Cast adrift, now she is beating,
On the cold and heartless tide,
Of a cruel world. ‘Twere better
When an infant,—she had died.
Mothers, guard your lovely daughters,
Shield them from the tempter's snare.
Don't forget that they are mortals
Needing all your guardian care.
—John York.
War Causes Interest.
That the war is causing extra in-
terest in the state campaign is now
apparent. The people over the
state recognize that only the care-
ful acts of the national administra-
tion prevented this nation being at
war. They know that had we been
involved with the Mexicans at the
time of the European war, nothing
could have prevented our being
drawn into that conflict. The
democrats of the state speak of the
president as they should and they
stand as an unit for him. 'lhey
expect to uphold his hands by elec-
ting a democratic governor and a
democratic legislature, and no a-
mount of non-partisan bunk will
prevent that being done. Demo-
crats over the state are warming to
the issues. They see that a deter
mined effort is being made to des
troy the usefulness of progressive
democracy in this state by seeking
to make our people repudiate the
president.
There is reason why every demo-
crat should be in line for his party
this fall—there is no occasion for
faltering in pfirty fealty. In ask-
ing our folks to support a man who
does not ever take the trouble to

For a short time we will give a fish
globe and two gold fish free with each

dies or toilet preparations or will sell

Girls Essay on Boys.
Boys is men that have got as big as

Man was made before women. When
God looked at Adam he said to him-
self “Well I guess lean do better than

made Eve so much better than he
did Adam that there has been more
women than men in the world ever
