CANNON'S DEMAND
FROM APPO|NTEES
TeIltaIe Letter Shows How Cannon
Men Are Seeking to Foul Voters
of Their District.

Ponca City, Okla, April GA letter
which throws considerable light on
the meeting called for April Sth at
Guthrie to launch the campaign of
Congressman Mcclure for congress
was picked up on a street of this city
Sunday morning where it had appar-
emily been dropped accidentally from
the pocket of postmaster in one of
the small towns of this county, to
whom it was addressed This post
master is known to have been in
Ponca City Saturday night in consulta-
tion with local politicians. The letter
follows:
Guthrie, Okla, April q
Dear Sir:
1--WE desire to again call your at
tention to the Importance of the
meeting in Guthrie on April 9Th in
the interest OF Congressman MCGUIRE
This will probably be the only occas-
ion during the primary campaign
when the able lieutenants of our dis
tinguished congressman will meet to-
gether and those who respond to the
call at this time will be accorded a
high place in the ranks of Mcclure
workers after the fight is over.
1.-THE silly wave of anti -Cannonism
which is sweeping the entire country
and appears to be gaining strong
foothold in the First district makes
it advisable to hold big demonstra-
tion Of standpatters at this time to
present the growing impression that
the progressives are in the majority.
Congressman MCGUIRE will explain
clearly on this occasion why he did
not keep his promise to vote for re-
vision of the house rules, etc., and
will make it clear that he would have
allied himself with the democrats by
such such action. On that account, we
have assurance of getting the endorse
ment of State Chairman Harris and
his committee, as well as the endorse
ment of the committee which conduct
ed McGuire's campaign two years
ago and is chiefly made up of his per-
sonal workers.
please urge all other postmasters
in your county to come here the ev-
ening before the meeting and join in
the big reception of Mcclure. Also
see the various men who were re-
Gently appointed census enumerators
and urge them to reciprocate by be-
ing present on this occasion. Pay
