DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS
SCENE OF GREAT ACTIVITY

Oklahoma City, Okla. Oct. pa
Democratic headquarters in the Lee
Huckins hotel is a scene of activity
these days Visitors are coming and
going. Candidates for all state offices
and those seeking lesser honors are
continual callers. Chairman John R.
Williams, is virtually covered up with
letters, kilograms and literature. A
long string of people stand at his door
daily awaiting their turn to advise
with him and discuss the political situ-
ations.
In the advertising department all is
hum. Thirty mailing clerks, stem
ographers, wrappers and typewriters,
are on the go night and day. Two
hundred thousand personal letters
have been sent out of this department,
besides, 100000 pieces of campaign
literature and $4,000 campaign books.
Mr.. Williams is at the head of this de-
partment, with his hand ever on the
pulse of public sentiment and each
quiver of favor or disfavor expressed
over the state because of the matter
issuing from this departmental has a
revibrating feeling in Williams cor
.ner of the roOmy Offices.
His assistants under his direction
censor all newspaper articles, all ad-
vertising matter and all campaign mat
ter of any kind which issues from the
campaign headquarters. Not a piece
of literature leaves campaign head
quarters but that it has the o. X. of
John R. Williams, or his assistants,
who were with him in the Cruce fight
They are handling this campaign nurs-
ing it as they would nurse a baby,
keeping in touch with the public feel
ing. Giving the voters the straight
of every question, barring the defects
of their opponents to the public view,
showing the weak spots of the oppos-
ing party, and all the time, building
up an organization which should re-
suit in an overwhelming majority for
democracy, in Oklahoma.

for the trophy which he now holds but

strong. Alden, the game little collegi-
