Gore was opposed for the nomination by two men of wealth, each of whom spent a amall fortune In advertising and organization work. Few people In the proposed stste believed that -the blind orator" would make even a respectable showing In the primaries. But, while others were ■peculating on results. Gore was making a 'grass root" campaign. si>eaklng personally to nearly every farmer and laboring man In the two territories. To get the necessary means to travel over the state he placed a mortgage on his home at Lawton, staking all on the resulu of the primaries. Gore will. If elected, be the first blind man to occupy a seat In congress. At the age of eight he lost his left eye. a playmate accidentally striking him with a stick; and at the age of 11 be <oat the other eye through being hit by an arrow. Notwithstanding this affliction. Mr. Gore Is a msn of superior education and is noted aS'Saorstor, He was born 36 years ago in what U now Webster county. Mlsa., and at the time that he became blind be page In the Mississippi stale senate and lived at the house of United States Senator J. Z. George. From that time until he reached the age of 16 Mr. Gore studied at home, his mother and sister Jnstrnctlng him and reading-to Mat His favorite book was ‘The Urea of Self-Made Men/

and from this volume he says he gained much that has been beneficial

to him In later year*.

He was graduated from the schools at Walthal, Miss, long before he talced his majority, and In 1891 ! tre was nominated for the legislature. •not having reached the required age he was disqualified for the ofr.ee Then he taught school for several years, went to Texas for a time, and has lived In Oklahoma ten years. Since reaching voting age Mr. Gore has been aligned with tbe Democratic party, but declined to support Mr. Cleveland during bis first campaign. He baa' been a strong supporter ol Bryan, ac-J In Bryan's last campaign made many speeches for him In western, state*. He baa been foremost Democratic party councils In the n state and has taken an active part in all recent elections.

At the request of many members others he attended the sessions the constitutional convention, and many of his ideas have found their way into the measures adopted by

that body.
