WITH HIS BIGGEST GUNS

Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 1.-THE Republican
territorial committee through its efficient
officers. Chairman Cash NJ Cade, and
Secretary Vernon w Whiting is prepar-
ing for campaign during the last days
Of this month that win be without prece-
dent in Oklahoma. Speakers viii be in all
parts Of the territory and the billing of
these men is now being done The Re
publican nominee, Mr.. Mcclure, viii be
kept busy up to election day. The last
two weeks Of his work Will be princi-
pally in the eastern portion Of Oklahoma,
for by that time he Will have completed
his ardous work in western Oklahoma.
Mr. Mcclure has made a record breaking
campaign thus far. He mas averaged
more than two speeches per day, and
under the intense strain has stood up well
and Will finish the campaign as strong
as he was when he made his first
speeches in Beaver county early in Sep
tember
During the first part of the campaign
there was not much enthusiasm displayed
This was not only true Of Republicans,
but of Democrats as well. Although tie
Democratic nominee had been making
speeches in all portions of the territory
before the Republicans began their cam
paign. no large audiences outside OF pic
MICS could be secured for their candidate
1t was stated and conceded early in the
campaign that the principal issue of the
year is statehood. The issue has created
intense interest and there is no question,
but what the Republican party has the
best of the argument in every respect.
There has been q tendency during the
past few weeks among Democratic ora
tors to dodge the statehood question, and
their campaign has been along other lines.
The people evidently are interested in the
statehood question, and this accounts in
part for the immense audience the Re
publican nominee has been having in all
parts of the territory
The Republicans have many men in
their party who can and are making
splendid speeches on the stump this year.
The men are earnest in their effort TO
have Republican success. Every man
who is on the stump today advocating
the election of Mr.. Mcguire has thor
oughly studied the issue and, through
this preparatory work is enabled to make
a speech filled with telling points. The
Republicans have the advantage over the
Democrats in the fact that the opposite
party have only few men on the stump.
These men when asked how long they
have been in Oklahoma must answer that
they have only been here a short time
while on the other hand, the men who are
assisting Nr. Mcclure in his campaign
are representative citizens who came here
carly in the history of the territory for
the express purpose of doing their share
in developing the territory and in build
ing the institutions which are of such
credit to Oklahoma. The Republican
campaign in Oklahoma has been charac-
terized by tiTeless energy and more hard
work viii be done during the last weeks
of the campaign than ever before.
