JUDGE r.. l. WILLIAMS
Supreme Purpose to
Give Public Service

Judge r. L. Williams. the Democratic
nominee for governor, spoke as fol-
lows to the state convention in Okla
homa City Tuesday:
Il am mindful of the great honor
that has come TO me on the part Of the
Democracy Of this state. ! am mindful
OF the partiality of my friends, but
through that partiality comes to me
the loyal support of every good Demo-
crat in this state.
Now, what does that call for at my
hands? That means that am to love
the Democratic party and be faithful
toward it, That means that / am to
be true to every Democrat in this state
as well as every citizen of Oklahoma.
That is the kind of public service that
this nomination requires, not only of
the head of the ticket, but of every
man on this ticket That is the kind
of public service and public devotion
that is to give the people of this state
great government and good govern
ment, and silence the mouths OF those
that would put stand-patters' in power
on false pretenses and deceit.
Where was the head of this Repub-
lican ticket, and the men who are pro
noting this ticket when we battled for
rtatohood o,d o-rap,I1od "a (t,,4b~;,
to write the constitution and give the
people of this state local self govern
ment? They were the men against
statehood. They were against the
adoption of the constitution, and
fought against it, That is the way
they planned and devised, and they
said that the men who assembled
there were crazy and menace to good
government.
Now. you can't expect those men
to find anything good in the history or
in the record of the Democratic party
of this state What they want to do
is to get in power and get to the pie
counter that they held in those pluto
cratic days when corporations ruth
lessly ruled this country, and if they
would get into power in this state un-
der the pretense that they are friends
of the farmer, they would put the cor
porate power in control again.

state are going to elect the Democratic
