He has addressed a number Of county con
ventions. and if the enthusiasm at these
gatherings can be taken as an indication
the campaign proper will be one of the
most enthusiastic that Oklahoma people
have ever witnessed
The congressional candidate in address
ing audiences makes an arsumentative
speech His first sentence attracts the
audience TO him. and from that time on
there is no let-up until the address is
over. One of the principal themes OF dis
cussion is the statehood question.
Oklabomans. regardless Of party, are in
terested in statehood and the main ques-
ton this year is whether the omnibus

gress to complete the work so ably be-
gun in the past by a Republican delegate

While Mr. Mcclure has visited only
small portion of the territory, yet if the
