Besides the names above given taken from this
list there over forty other names appearing on
that list as not registered, THAT IN FACT ARE
REGISTERED the Registration lists show and
which we would publish but for lack of space.
The above list shows the kind of Qualified
Voters the Registrars and Council have left off the
list. The Republican gang in charge of the County
are accustomed to being elected by such "Qualied
Votes that we have no doubt they feel very much
abused when restricted to legal voting list.

Talked to Them Straight.

Senator Owen. Of Oklahoma. gave
the Republicans in the Senate some
straight talk when the subsidy steal
was under discussion in that body.
In a forcible. biting speech against
the measure he advised the Senate
20 adjourn and go home. This con-
:ress has been re3udiated by the
american people, said Senator
Owen. in 2 clear ringing voice. "and
yet il continues in session in an
effort 70 put through discredited
legislation like the ship subsidy bill.
The people repudiated the party in
power because OF its advocacy OF ship
subsidy and other subsidies. and its
su5servience TO the special interest" :"
This speech grated on the sens!bil-
:,!es Of such eminent trust advocates
