MUSKOCEE STRONG
FOR SENATOR OWEN
FRIENDS OF THE SENATOR SAY
HE WILL CARRY BOTH CITY
AND COUNTY.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 3.-In many
of the newspapers of the state, there
has appeared recently an article
signed by several Muskogee dem
ocrats, in which the democrats say
that in their judgment, c. n. Has
kell will carry Muskogee, city and
county by practically unanimous
vote at the primary next Tuesday.
These gentlemen have political
strabismus. Where they have used
the word Judgment" they ought
to have said they hoped Haskell
would carry the county. The best
information we can gather is that
Senator Owen will carry Muskogee
county over Haskell, notwithstand-
in gthe court house ring is known
to have used every method known
to their craft to carry it for Haskell
Do not be grieved. Owen will carry
his home county.
