There are four candidates for the gov
ernorship-Frank McMasters of the Ga
zette. Colonel ID. NJ. Ross, General j. c.
Jamison of Guthrie and I. VI. Richardson
of Oklahoma City. Any one OF them
would make good governor.
Frank McMasters is man of brains and
has the courage of his convictions. He
would stand for principle every time.
Colonel ID. NJ. Ross has done more for
Oklahoma in general than any one man.
He has worked not only for the city that
sent him to Washington, but for the
whole territory.
General j. C. Jamison is typical
Southern gentleman. AS adjutaut gem
eral of Missouri he made most envlable
record. 1t WAS through his efforts that
the Bald Knobbers were brought to JUS
lice He is man of principle. and would
fiji the office with credit to himself and
his constituency. He will enter the race
with the Missouri delegation at his back.
Hon. Z. NJ Richardson is one of Okla
homa's best business men. He owns
large interests in this territory and has
wonderful executive ability. His record
| is spotless, aud no one can be found who
| knows him that will not speak of him in
/ the highest terms.
! The trouble is that local prejudice may
! force the president to look outside the ter
! ritory.
