WHAT LEADING SCHOOL MEN SAY

Requests for unprejudiced express
F., sion on the work of State Superintend-
ent Wilson were sent to large num-
Der of county and city superintendents.
The answers are all complimentary.
Henry G. Fellows, school superin-
tendent Of Beaver county, answers the
inquiry as follows:
'supt Wilson has always been
ready to assist in any enterprise for
the betterment of the school interests
OF the state and we feel sure that the
present condition Of the state schools is
a strong testimonial of his efforts. He
has strengthened the administration
OF the county superintendents by re-
fusing to interfere in purely local mat

local official, he has assisted with

tive citizen and has lent his aid and
influence toward the upbuilding of
our town and county. He has been
very active in school work and is
today recognized as one of the
pillars OF our school system. We
do not mean to say that he has been
teacher but he has occupied a
position that enabled him to put
many Of his ideas of public school
work into effect. AS a member and
secretary of our local board of edu-
cation he has proven over and over
that he Is q man that gives thought
to education and the present high
standing of the Chickasha Public

rectly traceable to the untiring eff

man in every sense of the word,
and we are pleased that we can give
to his candidacy our highest COM
mendation
The time has arrived when men
Of the highest character men of
good level headed judgment, and
men of strong convictions must be
elected to our law making bodies.
The day has passed when the peo-
pie can hope for relief by electing
politicians to this important body.
We must send men who will look
after the interests of the common
people. Men who will act upon
their own convictions and men who
cannot be influenced by political
gangs who infest the capital city
while the legislature is in session
And in this connection we wish to
make it plain that should the good
people of this senatorial district elect
William Stacey as their next SEN
ator that we will send a man who
will fearlessly, honestly and intel
ligently fight for not only the inter-
ests of the common people of this
county but the state as we'll.
Now MIR. Voters this is serious
question and you should use wis
dom in making up your minds as
to who you will elect as State SEN
ator. Why not be on the safe side
and cast your ballot for William
Stacey, thereby honoring one of our
best citizens and at the same secur-
ing man to represent us that Will
reflect credit not only to himself but
the State as well. Mr. Stacey's can
didacy should receive the suppori Of
our very best class of citizenship
and from the reports that are com.
ing in we believe that it will.
A vote for Stacey will never be
regretted.

From all over the State of Oklahoma.
comes the cry to send good, honests
leyel-headed men to the State Legls-
lature. Since Statehood It has been
the custom to select politicians to fill
the seats of our highest lawmak'ng,
and the result Of assembling In the
capital city OF this class Of mer has
been the passing of hundreds OF
measures, designed solely for the
benefit OF politicians, corporations,
etc, and that is the reason why the
good people Of Oklahoma want re-
lief from the old system. what they
want is safe and sane legislation In
the interests Of the masses instead
OF the classes. and the only hope
is that the people will wake up and
send their very best men to Oklaho-
ma City to take hold of the reigns
of our government and call halt.
so to speak. An honest man, with
out any Interior motive can do more
good in one term than all the trix-
Ger politicians and would-be lawyers
could do in life time.
In the person OF g a. Dearmon,
OF Naples, the people have the privi-
lege Of electing man 10 the state
Senate Of oklahoma, who will serve
shenl honestly, faithfully, intelligent
" and well. Heais at present en
gagged ia teaching school and his
success in school work mas already
placed him in the front ranks of
this profession in this county. Mr.,
Dearmon has for years been a close
student of the needs of the people,
and with an honest heart and an
earnest desire to be of some value
10 his people he has announced his
candidacy for the State Sentate, sub
ject TO the will OF the Democrat vot
ers, and in case of election he prom
ises to render honest and faithful
service, giving his aid and influence
TO all measures that are designed
for the good Of the common class
OF people. Mr.. Dearmon is deep
thinker, a man of more than ordin-
airy ability as speaker and we have
no doubts but what he will be able
10 make his presence in the Okla
homa Senate felt from the very out
set, and that he will valiantly fight
for the best interests of the people
who assist him TO win his seat.
Now then Mr.. Voter, if you agree
with the people who are asking for
relief in our law making bodies then
there will be but little trouble for
you when you go to help select the
next State Senator of this District
In Mr.. Dearmon you have candi-
date with no hobby. He does not
promise any drastic legislation that
win cause the State capitol to be
filled with doodle money. He will
stand squarely for all good legisla-
tion that is introduced while he is
member of the Senate. He will
register his vote against all class leg
islation of whatever nature, and
when he returns from his mission to
serve the people he will have clean
hands and an unblemished reputa-
tion.
The next session of the Oklahoma
legislature propose to be one in the
interests of all the people If the
wishes OF all our people who favor
honest government are carried out,
and this Senatorial District can make
no mistake by sending this Level
headed man to represent them in this
important body. A vote for Mr..
Dearmon is vote for man who
has no hobby-just honest govern
ment in the interest of all the peo-
pie.
