Mr.. Mcclure rests his candidacy on three things
Ills doing things for the Guthrie Republican rings
pension list and promises which he can not fulfill.
Now the question is: Can the voters Of the First dis
rct trust Mcclure longer? Has not MeGuire's useful
expiredl Money being used by the state Repub
ican machine contributed by the outside malta which
hope to retain Speaker Cannon. But what Cannon s
interests compared with the interests OF the people of
the First district Of Logan county, of Guthrie?
Mcclure bases his hopes of election on Logan county
Two gears ago his majority 1900 1t all from
logan county.
What do the people of Logan county intend to do,
would they rather have the friendship of Mcclure who
lis poweress to do good of Guthrie than the state admin
isaon and the Legislature, which will practically de-
ede Guthlie's fate
The Leader speaks TO voters, regardless of party
affiliations, who have property interests in Guthrie
What can Mcclure do for Guthrcf What the admin
istraton and the Legislature do? In his speeches, Nc
Cure attacks Governor Haskell, yet Haskell has it in his
power to do little much for Guthrie The eyes of the
state centcrcd the First district. With Logan
county voting right voting to protect her interests
Mcclure will be retired and Guthrie viii smngly
INTO her own Rcpudiate Johnston and Guthrie am,
Logan county suffers. Politics is business game Vote
