Woodward, Okla, May 13, 1908
The Republicans of Woodward coun-
ty, in county convention assembled on
the 26th day of February, 1908, having
adopted a resolution pledging united
support to Dick T. Morgan in the event
he should become a candidate for Con-
gress, the Dick T. Morgan Republican
Club of Woodward, Oklahoma hereby
expresses great satisfaction that Mr.
Morgan has consented to become a
candidat for Congress in the second
congressional district, subject to the
will of the Republican voters of sid
district to be expressed at the pri sR-
ry election.
We submit to the Republican voters
that Dick T. Morgan is the man above
ali Others to become the Republican
candidate for Congress in this district.
We believe him to be the strongest
man who can be selected to lead the
Republican party to victory in the
coming campaign. He ID in entire
harmony with his party and belongs to
no faction He has been resident of
Oklahoma since the date of its birth
in 1889, and has wide personal ac-
/ quaintance throughout the entire
state. He is known personally and by
reputation by almost every man with
in this district His honesty and in
tegrity are unquestioned. His readi-
ness to sacrifice personal interest in
behalf of his friends and party and for
the public good has recently been evil
denced by his resignation as Register
of the United States Land Office at
Woodward in order to preserve the
harmony of the party and the welfare
of the citizens of the district, is only
one of many instances in which he has
in the past made sacrifices for the
public good
He has all the qualifications that
could be demanded of public official
in this age of reform. His moral, so.
cial and political purity, his splendid
native ability, his nineteen years con
stant association with Oklahoma con.
ditions, his love for his party, his state
and his nation, coupled with the ripen'
ed experience of mature years, makes
him, in our judgment, the one mar
within the limits of this district who
should be and will be nominated by
the Republicans for this position, and
who should be elected by the citizen.
of the district at the forthcoming elec.
ton.
We invite all men, regardless of pol
itics, who believe in the purity and no.
bility of our civic instititons, to stand
with us in this our effort to nominate
and elect one OF our foremost expo
nents in the person of Dick 7. Morgan
of Woodward, Oklahoma
