It's OU-isn' it.? Isn't it YOU?
After aIrs said and done, don't most of us vote for our

And can they blame you for doing it on November Sd?

Vote for yourself; that's the real ticket!
And you do vote for yourself when you vote for Republican

Hadley for Governor and a Republican state ticket for Missouri
These men are for the things that you are for: the things that
