Senator Echols of Elk City has an
nounced his candidacy for one of the
three congressmen-at-large. Bob has
been a member of the state senate
since statehood and has been one of
the recognized leaders of that body.
During his first term he was chairman
of judiciary committee No. 1, which
lis ordinarily considered the most inn
portant committee of that body, and
now chairman of committee on CON
gressional apportionment and has
been active in the support of a long
list of the most important legislation
that has been considered by the legis-
lature.
Senator Echols lives on the west
side of the state and is one of the
men making the race for congress who
lis big enough for the job. 1t is our
opinion that the three congressman
at-large should be selected from diff
ferent sections of the state taking into
consideration the qualifications of the
candidates.
Mr.. Eehols will have large follow
ing in this section of the state and
his friends are confident that he will
be one of the three men nominated In
the primary next August Should he
be nominated he will OF course be
elected, and we believe that the peo-
| pie of this state would find in Bob
Echols a man well worthy the honor,
as well as man pre-eminently fitted
to represent them in the national con
gress. He is one of Oklahoma's lead
| ing democrats and has been in the
forefront of every battle for demo-
cratic supremacy and white mans
government since statehood.
A few things Bob stands for:
presidential preferential primary.
Revision of the tariff downward.
| Election of Senators by direct vote.
Abolition of inferior federal judges
Opposed to Aldrich currency scheme.
| Opposed to any extravaganza in
lofice.
He will use his effort to block any
legislation that loots the public funds
and will either kick out the blood
suckers from public places op c1pose
them to the whitening 'gAs public
| lity
lie will see to It that a part of the
annual appropriation for irrigation be
spent in Oklahoma instead of the
deserts Of the West.
