is every indication Of general activity
| in the two parties that are struggling
for supremacy during the fall campaign
Both committees have been formally or
gained and it viii be only a question
of a short time until the campaign VIII
be on in earnest. The Republicans were
the last OF the parties to formally or
ganize the working force for the cam
paign. and If the meeting held here last
Wednesday is a criterion, the campaign
will be an enthusiastic ono as far a.
the party IS concerned.
The selection OF Cash NJ. Cade of Shaw
nee as chairman Of the territorial Re
publican central committee meets with
the approval of the Republicans over the
territory Cade is one OF the old-timers
in Oklahoma and has been through every
political battle since coming TO the ter
ritory. The men who have been opposed
to him in these battles are the ones whu
know his real worth. and these men are
predicting that Mcguire viii have d
rousing majority this fall. Cade's one
( from this time on will be the election
/ OF Mcclure TO congress by a larger ma
jority than any other man in Oklahoma
has ever received for this position. /,

I conservative; they are hard workers;
they have all been through campaigns.
and know what a real hard campaign in

Vernon W. Whiting, the new secretary.
is conceded to be the man for the place.
He will devote all of his time to the
work Assisting in a campaign is a ser

never better conditions for the beginning
of a campaign by the Republican party il. /
Oklahoma than at the present time.
There are no factions to contend with /
Mcclure is a man on whom factionalists |
whoever they may be. can and have cen /
tenered. He is a man who viii work un. |

support of the entire party. and with /
these conditions, will have Il vote anu |
majority that viii be appalling to the /
supporters Of Bill Cross. who are fondly /
hoping for his election. The first big /
