 other Is secretary to Senator James P Clark. In Oklahoma a Montgomery county boy stands as one of the big gest men of the state Our boys get to be big men, They don't have much opportunity at home, and aow they would shut the door of hope to them, through Garland county and Hot Springs politicians wanting to get he district offices and keep them. If you are my neighbors and my friends, and want me to help you and to help your boys and help my boys, help me in this election by defeat ing this crowd of politicians who de. nied us an agreement, and would de- ny us eyer holding district office. There will always be a crowd of them for the offices as there are now and we will never have a chance unless we stand together and force that chance. l am worthy, and you all know it, and am an honest man and you all know 1t, and you will help me and help hold up the hands of this county"
 George P Wilmington was next. He said: Wood asks why I am here, For the same reason you are here, J. B Wood. My speech at Mt Ida was all the truth Ana Wood, you never denied it and never will do so. Wood has insulted me here today as outside political campaign he would never dare to do. Isi Mt Ida he made it a personai matter with me and !n Hot Springs Scott Wood has threat ened my life, and that is the answer they make to my speech.
 But you will answer it. J. B. Wood And when yon do answer it. l will make you answer for this insult to- day with my strong right arm Stretching his right arm at full length toward J. B. Wood and not with a knife in the back or gun, and, J. B. Wood, you will eat the words you have said here today, and l will choke them out of you and you will eat them again and l will make you spit them up.
 Wood tells ycu l voted against ey- cry prohibition bill in the state leg islature. My county was against pro. hibition and voted with the sentt ments of my people as their repre- sentative, and if I had been your rep resentative in Montgomery coNnty and you were for prohibition, would have voted for the prohibition bills He refers 10 the street ear measure. There is a little rat faced lawyer in Hot Springs who drew a bill and gave it to McLaughlig to present Mclaughlin showed it to me. and it looked all right, and l offered a few amendments to make it regular, and would have favored it, but learned afterward that it was drawn in spite, that the railroad company was heav. ily bonded for paving, that it con tempIated other improvements, and that the bill was an injustice. l told Mclaughlin my objections to il. and that if he wanted then to pass 1t he could have it called for passage and ] would state my opposition, and~ff he could pass 1t then, r wEs aH right The hill passed whens I was absent, and so had it recalled, and it was neper pushed after that, and did not become q law. As to my honesty and my integrity refer you to Clark Cockrell of your county, in that bousc. whoa will tell yeH of nH standing in that legislative body
