Roy Johnson, editor and owner of
the Ardmore Statesman is one of the
finest fellows in the world and has
legions of friends who rejoice at his
success and popularity. He is a re-
publican of the old school and gets
out about the classiest little republi-
can weekly in the state. For some
time he has had representative Sc
curing subscriptions throughout this
county, an experienced man in that
line who has a reputation of getting
the money. This man has been work
ing faithfully and has added material
ly to the subscription list of the
Statesman. The only trouble encoun-
tered by this solicitor is the fact that
there are many socialists in the coun-
ty who will read nothing but socialist
ic literature and for that reason in
some localities he finds it hard to Sc
cure subscribers.
One day last week he approached
prospect" in the western portion of
the county and asked him to take the
PAPER for year. "No," the would-be
prospect replied, Il don't read nothin'
but socialist papers and l reckon yours
aint of that sort, so I'll not take it."
Quick as a flash an idea struck the
solicitor and he replied, Why, my
dear sir, this is the greatest socialist
paper in the state and is doing a
great work for the cause. Here is a
copy, look it over and tell me what
you think Of it anyhow, whether you
subscribe or not at the same time
hanring him a paper. The "Kumrid"
took the paper and verified the sus-
picions of the solicitor that he could
not read by promptly perusing the
contents with the sheet upside down
in the meantime looking as wise as
tree full of owls. After a few mo-
ments he handed the paper back to-
gether with one dollar and had his
name enrolled stating that it Sure
was the best socialist PAPER he mad
ever read" ..r.
