Ugliest Man in the State The business end of the Waurika News is exempt from slander, because he is not only extremely homely but is one of the ugliest men in the new state-- printed in the Ryan Leader. We knew the Anderson boys in Garfield County way back in the 90's when innocuous desuement and the soup trust ruled the destinies of the nation. They looked all right then and were smart, intelligent young gentlemen, able and industrious, and a fling like the above discredits its author before the public and belittles him in the house of his friends. If F. W. looks so horrid to you now, Mr. Leader, he will be a veritable Chinese dragon before Ryan gets the county seat permanently located down in the corner--printed in the Comanche American.
