HARDIN U tut vica Frwldtti CALVIN COOLIIWE Announcement KUV G. HOLDERI L«uuiiduL. for the Republican Nomina tion for County Clerk Primary Electron, September 14, i»2U. Gore's Defeat Due to Unfair Tactics "Ceiuitoi Gore tiaa been defeated be cause he refuaeil to be a rubberatamp statesman and dared to oppose in some instances the orders al his party chief tain,’ said Col. H. H. Lindsey, of Tul su. Okla., when in Washington the other day. “The blind, old political veteran, lighting with his hack to the wall for Ins political life, was b«s.*t hy prac tically evtiy party organ in the state, 'ifie regular politicians of his party almost to a man, led by the office holders, state and Federal, turned against the man who once helped them to victory. He was persecuted, hound ed and libeled. All this was to have been expected, more or less, but his opponents violated every creed of com mon fairness in denying to him the advertising columns of the party news papers. “Senator Gore did not hope to have the benefit of their news columns, but by every token of decency and of good new spa pet practice the country over he should have been entitled at least to the privilege of staling his case in such space as he would be able to pay for Had he been haled into court for a crime, no matter how atrocious, he would have been granted a hearing and would even have had counsel as signed to him, lacking means to pay “But he was not charged with any other crime tl.au that of exercising his own independent Judgment as a member of what is sometimes called the greatest deliberative body in the world His Judgment may have been w rong Gore made mistakes, but his worst sin, and the one for which he paid the price of his high office, was that hs insisted upon being his own man “The most odious feature of the whole business is, in my opinion, the fact that Senator Gore's crucifixion will act as a great deterrent for men possibly less courageous to vote In the future according to their own sense of duty, even should it happen that in doing so they were deviating slightly from the line marked out by party bosses " Fremont County Endorses Record of Guy U.
